"There is a particular look about a teenage boy that lets you know what kind of man he’ll be. A certain fullness of lips, a frank sensuality in his gaze. We all know what the word for that is, but it’s not polite to use it until he’s proven he’s that kind of boy."

I’ve said we need a term for “government by liars” because this Trump administration does seem to be breaking new ground in the telling-constant-objectively-provable-lies department.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

1. Brandolini's law:
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."
2. Chill before serving. (Mine)
3. It's irony when the actor or observer is "confidently unaware."
4. On the Media's rules.

Eight vacations in seven months by a member of the current regime but we can't afford health care for millions of Americans. 🙄
The unconstrained spending in this regime is obnoxious & unconscionable!

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I see that Status headline! 👍
