Cheap Shots (It's Vodka Tuesday. UKRAINIAN Vodka Tuesday!):

“So I repeat again, the senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.” Senator John McCain on Rand Paul, 2017.

Now this is what pardons are for.

It's hard to believe sometimes that this woman was once "The Virgin Kennedy". You have a Google - look it up.

The number of times he's been caught this way suggests to me that from time to time he's succeeded. The wheelchair doesn't give you free reign to be a fucking asshole you douchebag. And then his day got worse.

Using Rand's logic here I guess that means we have to give back Alaska.

As much as anyone might want to, you can't impeach anyone over a policy difference you stupid motherfuckers. Crimes is what it takes.

Yer a fuckin' liar.

Don't you just hate it when the brats squabble?

To which I say "На хуй ти" and not "пошел на хуй" (two drinks)

Moo.

"No punishment, but don't let it happen again." Yay America.

Is Texas capable of doing the right thing here? Evidence says no, but today, a glimmer of hope.

Sand Crisis.

And because I love you here is 3rd Street performing the same song I picked above - and I should not that I didn't know who they were when I picked it.

Testicle Tanning?!!?!!? Sometimes you just can't make this shit up.

You know what, if people aren't allowed to use Bankruptcy to get out of student loan debt then this guy should be told to go fuck himself.

Sure, I'll come take it. You ain't getting them bunny flippers inside the trigger handle anyway. Also, more proof that Junior is coked-up.

Welp, so much for flying.

Fantastic. But what I really want is "leads to jail time".

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey...

This man just might be my favorite Senate Candidate this cycle.

Maybe it's not the best idea ever to get on John Oliver's bad side.

In a few year's time I have to wonder if there is going to be a Russian version of The Deer Hunter.

I would say that charging her in the first place was a fucking disgrace.

Speaking of **ahem** "grooming".

Defense? Offense? War.

The only man in history to be impeached twice is still backing losers.

9/11 only happened one time, bitch.

What the fuck is wrong with these fuck-faced fucks? (I had different swears prepared for variety's sake by my wife has asked me to lay off of a couple of them - especially the one that rhymes with runt).

Racist is as racist does.

Please depose John Oliver. PLEASE, you fascist fucks.

I thoroughly expect for Eric to come on soon to remind us that he's the dumb one. That's really saying something.

And because I love you, you should get ready for Season 2 of Cory and the Wongnotes:

Here's something I don't understand - why are the politicians of Florida (and other places) so intent of robbing some children of their own childhoods?

The whole supposed point of the "Don't Say Gay" bill just signed into law in Florida is that topics about sexual orientation of any kind (except for you know, straight people) is not to be discussed, read about, or even mentioned. Setting aside for a moment that some of these kids and their teachers might be gay, let's just talk about the children themselves.

The "fear" (I think "prejudice" would be a better word) is that exposure to this sort of thing could affect a person's sexual growth and turn them gay or trans or some bullshit like that. I'm willing to call bullshit on this because despite loving and re-reading the book multiple times I never became a Hobbit.

But it's worse than that, which these things always are. What we're telling gay and trans children is that they have to experience the childhood of a fictional version of themselves. That they cannot have their own childhood.

That's so fucked up.

I can't speak for many others, but I learned that I like girls when I was SIX. 6 years old. I didn't fully understand why, but I knew that I liked girls. 2nd grade. That's MY childhood.

This law denies the rights of all children to come into that realization at the age they're supposed to - which is the age their own minds and bodies allows it. That's not something you can legislate. I have met people who were "early bloomers" like me. I have met those who didn't figure it out until they were much older. I know people in their 20s and beyond who aren't there yet, and children who are. It's an individual experience, and this law robs those children of that individual experience.

It forces many children to live their lives as a lie - to experience the childhood of someone they are not.

To not get the chance to experience their own childhood. It's child abuse. Funny how many Republicans accuse their opponents of doing the things they actually do themselves.

Again, this is denying non-heterosexual people the chance to have a childhood that's their own, and all the while because the heterosexual stereotype is constantly enforced it will be carpet-bombing them with an lifestyle and agenda that is not their own. This makes no one more comfortable aside from bigots.

Bigots do not deserve to be comfortable. Therefore, as a self-identifying CIS-male, I say "GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!!"

Cheap shots (remember, Monday is Rum day):

You're expecting a fucking Oscar? Remember, these assholes said the same thing about 27 children at a school. Motherfuckers.

Speaking of which, my congresscritter.

I admit, this could be trouble for the only social media platform I can still tolerate.

Oops again...

We can save some of them!!!!

Prince was a king, even as a child.

Nope nope nope nope nope. All kinds of nope.

No one should take weight loss advice from a man who looks like Butt-head from Beavis and Butt-head on purpose.

And because I love you and MORE GAY, enjoy some Randy Rainbow:
