Because Star Wars day sounds better when you say “May the Fourth be with you”. That said, I could be convinced to switch to Yoda-style “With you, the Fourth May be”.

Join the US Navy. They’ll pay you to cross an ocean on a ship and pay for your college tuition.

Our fault.

It wouldn’t have stopped him from winning the election. Trump escaped accountability when the Senate failed to convict him in his second impeachment. That, and the first impeachment, were the only convictions that would have barred him from running. Two impeachments, one coup attempt, one felony conviction, and we still elected him. Pretty sure that’s on us.

Kangol flat cap, gray. I alternate between that and a beige flat cap with a closer fit, which is the one that got me into flat caps.

If your blood plasma helps save somebody’s life, either directly as an infusion or indirectly in research, that’s not a scam. The monetary reward is compensation for time and an incentive to try to meet demand. The donation is free, but the time and energy required to make the donation are an expense. That’s what the compensation covers. It’s only a scam if your donation goes to feed a literal or wannabe vampire or their bathing fetish.

“Hanging himself with his own rope” is a funny saying. Imagine someone borrowing your rope to hang themself. “Sure, Don, you can borrow my rope.” Then you go to get your rope back. “Hey, Don! You done with my… nah, dude, that’s your rope. That’s not my rope. My bad.”

Again. He may lose again. He lost the popular vote twice. He will definitely lose it a third time, and he may lose the election again. “Again” needs to be emphasized because he’s going to keep trying and we must make sure he loses again.

Democrats support their own party leaders and vice versa. Republicans condemn their past leaders and support only Trump.

GWB is getting a boost from Liz Cheney and the other never-Trumpers because people buy into “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” mentality literally. They’re allies against a common foe, but they’re still vile, and the person who can remind us of that is Tim Walz

Walz took students to a campaign rally for then-President George W. Bush and watched as they were questioned by security because one had a John Kerry sticker on their wallet. After that, Walz volunteered for Kerry, retired from the National Guard after 24 years when Bush launched his illegal war, and beat the GOP incumbent for his seat. This one story told me everything I needed to know about Walz’s political origin and path, and reminds me that GWB deserves no fond nostalgia.

Yeah, it’s a side issue, but what else is Don-old supposed to talk about? How he made Mexico pay for his big, beautiful wall?

Adjectives are not nouns.

Ugh. Up until he chose Palin, I would’ve been fine with McCain winning. I was for Obama, not against McCain, and then he went and f***ed it all up.

Nah. Everyone knew everyone back then, and my uncle loves sharing his stories. Basically all he did was tell that then-eight year old story, which still holds up.

“Legal woes” is quite the euphemism for “felony convictions”. Convicted felon? No, legally woeful.

My uncle was in that story. Decades ago, he told his boss a program would stop working in eight years (8-bit limitation, yeah, that long ago). His boss told him to ship it because they weren’t going to be there in eight years. Sure enough, they weren’t. Eight years later, their IT guy contacted my uncle because he couldn’t figure out why it stopped working, and my uncle showed him the math.

Has to be Marla. Ivana is buried in his New Jersey golf course. Not a joke.

They’ve done studies: 48% of the time, it works every time.
