That's actually Rudy and Donald on an also actual Date Night.

SO, yeah.... imagine if you will, FF as as the senior RuPaul. (if you dare!)

apropos of nothing, this person was the model for a character, Jimmy Vulsa i think it was... in the Christopher Moore book, "Noir".

Which is a pretty funny book; after a day of news like ours has become, "normal" in an evil sort of way... Moore's comic novels at least one place where I do laugh out loud reading book.

btw, asking for a friend... do people still read books?

OpEd: Donald Trump goes nuclear in the GOP's war on science (July 2025)
www.salon.com

... Billions of dollars in cuts to research are leaving lives at stake.

One hundred years ago this month, the Scopes trial was held in Dayton, Tenn. For 11 days, jurors heard arguments about John Scopes, a high school teacher who had taught the theory of evolution in apparent violation of the Butler Act, a state law that made it illegal for public school teachers to introduce theories that contradicted the Biblical creation story. ...

Since then, the right-wing in America has intermittently conducted an assault on science that, with the ascent of the religious right, gelled into an all-out war around the early 1980s. Many conservatives have, over the last 40 years, opposed AIDS research, stem cell research, basic facts about climate change -- and legislation to address it -- and measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

It seems the administration and its allies in Congress want to set the United States back a century -- back to the time of the Scopes trial.

Under President Donald Trump, the GOP has decided to go nuclear. The federal government's support of science and medicine is being systematically destroyed by devastating cuts to research, agencies and staff.

It seems the administration and its allies in Congress want to set the United States back a century " back to the time of the Scopes trial. ...



#7 Actually, I would like to thank our "friends" on the right for flagging comments Funny.

It makes the post that much more visible in the thread, and it helps promote it to the Recently Flagged section of the Retort.

Consequently, more people will see it and be interested in reading it, regardless of how it is flagged.

And speaking of the Recently Flagged section, it seems that the Funny section consists of posts from people from both sides of the aisle.

But have you noticed that our "friends" on the right never seem to have one of their posts in the Newsworthy section?

I report, you decide.

*** Pro-Trumpf Judges Rule California Open Gun Carry Ban Unconstitutional ***

The Dummkopf Trumpf-appointed 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled two-to-one that California's open gun carry ban in counties with more than 200,000 people is unconstitutional.

About 95% of California's population live in counties of 200,000 people or more: California Counties

Dotard Trumpf-appointed US Circuit Judge Lawrence Van Dyke wrote that California's law could not stand under the 2022 SCOTUS landmark gun rights ruling and another of his appointees concurred: This latest case "unquestionably involves a historical practice, open carry, that predates ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791."

Trumpf's "hybrid warfare" campaign against Blue States like California, Minnesota, or Oregon, tactics learned most likely from Vladimir Putin, continues.

Trump says US will take Greenland the 'easy way or hard way'
www.dw.com

... What did Trump say about Greenland?

"We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not," the president told reporters at the White House while meeting with oil company executives.

"Because, if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor," he said.

Trump has previously said he would not rule out using military force to take the largely ice-covered island, which has a population of 57,000.

"I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way, but if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way," he said on Friday. ...


Trump offers protection for oil companies entering Venezuela
www.newsnationnow.com

... The White House said the plan is for oil companies to invest $100 billion in rebuilding Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Trump said his administration would guarantee that the companies would receive protection from the U.S. government.

"You have total safety. You have total security. One of the reasons you couldn't go in is you had no guarantees, you had no security, but now you have total security," Trump said. "You're dealing with us directly; you're not dealing with Venezuela at all. We don't want you to deal with Venezuela." ...
