I want to see the Hallmark Christmas movie where the girl leaves big city job to return to her small hometown, reunites with her old flame, and realizes why they broke up in the first place. Then tells him what a jerk he has always been, and returns to the city to live happily ever after

The number of horse’s asses in this world far exceeds the number of actual horses.

β€œFucking asshole fucker” is not a strong enough phrase to describe my feelings for that man. But it’s a start.

Someone just referred to Stephen Miller as Pee Wee German and he will forever be known as such to me

For someone who reportedly doesn’t drink, Trump sure has a thing for appointing drunks to high positions! #Trump

Can someone please explain to me why the obsession with Greenland? I know Putin reportedly desires a base of some kind there, but I just don’t get it.

Literally any British actress would have been a better choice for the role of Bridget Jones. I said what I said.

The dive in Trump’s approval ratings was ugly. He showed no form, had no height, belly flopped, and didn’t point his toes. However, I give it a 9.5. Well done.

Well, I see he brought his real β€œwife” to the Super Bowl. She probably came cheaper than Malaria.

You know how a petulant teenager does something to piss off their best friend, and they never speak again? Yeah. We’re at that stage.

So I am nearly out of eggs. Do I buy now, or do I hold off until January 21st, when they return to $1.50 a dozen?

I don’t think that Jimmy Carter was the best President in my lifetime. However, I do think he was the best man who was President in my lifetime.

Am I the only one who just isn’t feeling in the Christmas spirit this year? I feel like I am only going through the motions here. And I love Christmas!
Just not this year. 🌲
