This one tickled my funnybone!

I didn't roll on the floor, but I did call my mom to tell her this one. So dang funny! Thank you for posting it.

Yes, I'm a Boomer, I was an IT professional for 30+ years, and yes, of course I know how LoL is used.

I just like to type out the actual words sometimes. Made me think about it a little more realistically.

Language is a Beautiful Thing.

Dirty Bong Water on an Antique Persian Rug - DBW we should call him.

And even it wasn't a perfect remedy.

Or so I've heard . . .

Bong hits require cool people around, right?

JD Vance is the snitch. He'd never get close to the bong.

- but I'd almost rather have our Secretary of State handle this.

I don't have much use for Rubio, but he's far smarter than Vance, and unlike Vance, he comes across as capable of talking with someone without actually offending that person within 3 minutes.

("Far smarter than Vance," I acknowledge, isn't a very high bar. I've seen pigeons with more class.)

Rubio is the heir apparent to Trump, not Vance.

Betcha anything.

I don't think there's a single heir apparent. Once Old Colostomy sheds his mortal coil, the movement will fragment.

Too many Red Hatters will view Rubio as an immigrant. I'm fully aware that he's not, but he'll be perceived that way.

And he has no charisma at all. He's not as offensive as Vance, but neither is a clean sock.

He was sent to publically fail while Rubio got to watch UFC...
