I have only time for a short note. We are preparing for another mandatory civility drill.

I had to laugh when I heard General De Niro say, "Fuck that!"

We fought a fierce battle against the red hats today. I fear my spittle drenched body may never completely dry out.
The horror of seeing even simple words massacred on hastily assembled poster board signage has scarred me.

Keep your chin held high my dear, everyone here believes this will all be over by the midterms.

your ever humble snoogums,
H.

The Republicans should be humiliated if they are reading these, but I doubt they'd understand the humor.

I DO have to ask...what are all the references to avocado this and that? Obviously, I missed the joke and must catch up.

It may have something to do with the avocado assault:



"Millionaire tells millennials: if you want a house, stop buying avocado toast"

"Australian real estate mogul Tim Gurner advised young people to solve their housing woes by putting their ‘$22 a pop’ toast toward a deposit instead."

OK, I get it now. Thanks for explaining, as it didn't make one bit of sense.

I need to get away from these tweets, as I've wasted too much time reading them but they are like peanuts or potato chips...hard to put down. Very clever.

Especially at this one:

Dear Sally,

As we prepare to march from Starbucks, maybe for the last time, my thoughts go to your sweet lips, the smell of your long brown hair, your soft skin, fuck it I'll be home in a half hour.

We lost an entire squad today when the boomer-in-charge yelled "Sniper at two o'clock." and everyone looked down to enter it into their calendars. I alone survived because I saw something shiny behind a tree.

Yours while it lasts.

My dearest,

I am not well, the MAGA disease has swept through our camp turning men against each other. The Red Hats are carrying tiki torches at the Battle of Covfefe, I fear this war will be more brutal than the Bowling Green Massacre.

Pray for us all.

Some of these people are so funny and clever! Every time I thought I'd found the funniest one, another would come along.

The "red hats" could never, ever be this funny.

The real MAGATS wouldn't understand most of the humor since they are mostly humorless and, well, stupid. But I'm having the best laugh ever. These are hilarious.

I didn't see their #secondcivilwarletters at there are close to 3000 now But someone told them to stop trying because they just aren't funny. Probably because they are filled with hate and anger that people are making fun of them. True hate and anger just can't make for funny content.
