Quote of the Day
We have made our choice for the QotD feature. I reintroduce yo to Miss Sybil Danning.
“I’m ready to fulfill my duties as hostess of the QotD to the best of my abilities.”
“I hope so, you will be tested daily.”
“I will not let you down Mr. Walrus.”
“It’s funny because they don’t seem to realize that each outraged tweet is met with an equal and opposite reaction of MAGA memes. The more flipped out and angry they get, the funnier it is. Trump always manages to make them look like the stuffy, unfunny, miserable scolds, throwing one temper tantrum after another. They’re like Ted Knight (only not as funny) in Caddyshack, even if they will never know it. Trump is forever Rodney Dangerfield, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase all rolled in one.” ~~ Sasha Stone

Quote of the Day
“Even so, the numbers back up something Republicans have suspected for months: the Democrat wave the left has been promising itself for a year looks a lot shakier than advertised. The Democrat Party’s brand remains deeply unpopular, and the socialist insurgency reshaping the party from within is not exactly reassuring to nervous swing voters. Obviously, a party cannot run on Bidenomics nostalgia and socialist experimentation and expect suburban moderates to come running back.” ~~ Matt Margolis

Quote of the Day
“Canadian leftists have been giving us glimpses into our future if we let the Democrats get too much power again. All leftists have tyrant blood coursing through their veins, but the COVID pandemic really gave them a taste of the kind of totalitarian power that they fetishize. They’re not interested in slowly implementing their retro-Soviet agendas; they want to severely punish what they label wrongthink right now. Old Stasi and NKVD stories are porn to these wannabe dictators.” ~~ Stephen Kruiser
