and yes, I know his name is Ron. He just always looks like a "Greg" to me.

It’s the new Onion headline: Why Do All These Nazis Keep Getting Hired By My Campaign?

"DeSANTIS is without device"

Yeah, pretty much...

"homosexualism of convention"

Say, what sort of a convention IS this?"

"DeSANTIS: I would prefer people get it without being told."

And are we not certain why he prefers that? I mean, it can't possibly be because the actual words he actually says read like fever-dream notes for Julius Streicher's next column...

"Come on — that’s the Kiss logo. "

I LOLed.

"The word “DeSantis” appears on the screen with each S rendered as a classic Schutzstaffel “lightning bolt.”" Love it.

Likewise, that narration/copy for whatever it was.

A quibble: Almost as many typos here as I can make in the normal course.

They make DeSantis sound like Chuck Norris, but more wooden.

Remember 6 or 7 years ago, right when we were getting really involved in that unfortunate Trump thing? The New York Times did a feature about some young Nazi living his best life in the Midwest. That was just up the road from me. I remember my daughter called me to see if I wanted to go beat his ass or maybe burn his house down. I told her that wouldn't be right. The article mentioned that he had a dog. I suggested maybe we throw a concrete block through his windshield and volunteered that I had a block out back. She said she'd be right over. We never went - Evidently they were cops parked in front of his house. To protect the Nazi.

I guess there's good people on both sides.

Whenever we talk about that time we always referred to " The New York Times Nazi". Now I guess they got another "New York Times Nazi" so now when we talk about it, we have to let people know which New York Times Nazi it is we're talking about. I guess the new one will be "the one that worked for DeSantis"

I don't know why the New York Times need so many Nazis.

Good article!

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘀

I met a pollster with the latest news

Who said—“Fleece vests and shiny boots of rock

Litter the Everglades. Near them, in the ooze,

Half sunk a ruined campaign lies, in hock,

Disorganized. The race was his to lose.

‘Kick immigrants and fags,’ his handlers said,

‘LGBT—gin up the common folk.’

But out the gate the effort’s looking dead.

On OAN and Fox the chyron reads:

𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘙𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘴, 𝘚𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘬𝘦;

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴!

It hasn’t worked. In Mar-a-Lago far

The Former Guy maintains a solid lead,

The MAGA hordes stay loyal to the Czar.”

I stopped after reading that first sentence to check with The Google to see if Meatball Ron has a brother! I was a bit confused but went along with it and now I can't get Lick it Up out of my head. Gah.

Amusing of course but he comes off a bit like, dare I say, a leader. Perhaps Greg has the cojones Ron lacks. If you’ve got a little free time today, maybe you can conjure up the scene happening simultaneously in the residential part of the Governor’s Palace, in which Casey is informed the Hamptons fundraisers have been cancelled and the outfits have to go back.

Fun read, burst out laughing a couple of times. I had to Google "homosexualist" (just to confirm it meant what I guessed). The veer to Kiss caught me off guard; the "Lick It Up" reference was the shit!

Wow, you wrote dozens of lines for Ron and his team and you managed to do something that Ron simply can't do himself: refrain from using the word "woke" -- not even once. Bravo!

Today on their Op-Ed page-

"Diversity Programs Miss the Point of a Liberal College Educationby Christopher F. Rufo"

So that's more fucking Nazis at The New York Times.

They got a problem.

I am amused here because 'homosexualist' was Gore Vidal's preferred term. Since 'homosexual' is a description of an act and not a person. (How this comports with any modern theories around queer identity is beyond my purview.)

Hey, I clicked on that very first link, but X is requiring me me to sign up for an account to read it. Which, LOL NO.
