“Trump possesses a vacuum-sealed head. Nothing goes in; nothing comes out.”
–Judy Rofe, responding to a Quora question. [“Vacuum-sealed head.” Too good not to include here.]
“I never received information about what happened with my ideas or results. But I did hear the governor say the models were wrong about everything.”
–Thomas Hladish, a University of Florida research scientist whose regular calls with the state health department were terminated on June 29 as Gov. Ron DeSantis effectively sidelined scientists in favor of becoming Trump’s loyal lapdog. [This is the same Gov. Ron DeSantis who said a few weeks ago that Florida’s response to the coronavirus was among the best in the nation.]
Nearly 5,800 Floridians have now died of covid-19, the disease caused by the virus — more deaths than were suffered in combat by Americans in Afghanistan or Iraq after 2001. One out of every 52 Floridians has been infected with the virus. The state’s intensive care units are being pushed to the brink, with some over-capacity. Florida’s unemployment system is overwhelmed, and its tourism industry is a shambles.
—The Washington Post, July 26, 2020.
“If he was more concerned with what the president thought of him, the outcomes are here.”
—Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez, of DeSantis’s preference for gaining Trump’s favor over the welfare of Floridians, July 25, 2020.
“What happened to that judge?”
—Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark), whining over Supreme Court ruling that rejected a Nevada church’s request to block the State of Nevada from enforcing a cap on attendance at religious services.
“John Roberts has abandoned his oath.”
—Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), whining about the same ruling. [It somehow appears from these reactions that conservatives thought they owned the Supreme Court.]
“I have an intern joke and it… nevermind.”
—Monica Lewinsky, with her contribution to a “I have a joke” thread on Twitter, on Friday

Claiming Justice Roberts has forgotten his oath while Cruz nuzzles up to the man who ruthlessly insulted his wife and entire family… priceless. No one looks to Cruz for lessons in honor or integrity.
…and implicated his father in the JFK assassination conspiracy theory, plus calling him, “lyin’ Ted” every chance he had. But, hey, a whore is a whore is a whore and by any other name smells the same. Good to see Monica Lewinsky has kept her sense of humor.
Stephen,
Add Rubio and Graham to the list of whores. I have been trying to elucidate the difference between a whore and a politician…at least with a whore you know what you are getting from the start.
I have started calling them “political whores”….to kinda be specific about exactly what kind of whoring I am talking about…but, it is amazing that any politician would waste their whoring on the likes of a loser like Trump….just can’t figure it out?
SO… Ms Edith, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read your comment. I didn’t think I’d ever see you refer to down-on-their-luck politicians by their given name, lol.
