  - omg - Covid Bingo! -- nm - 😈💀 Deevil 🤡👻 Oct 5, 09:26
- Rudy's somehow more of a narcissist than Trump. He's the "I've got a secret!" kid who comes running up to you and then spills it. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 5, 08:57

- People are finally realizing the Emperor is naked :/ - Meg Oct 5, 08:42 2
  - He really shouldn't have been permitted to leave the hospital just wearing a gown. -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 5, 09:18
  - I think his base is just finding it harder to explain away what he's doing so they've gone silent, leaving voices of reason. -- nm - jnine Oct 5, 08:44

I’ve come around to the decision it’s not petty to feel satisfied that the people who have *actively* tried to use covid as politics now are infected. -- nm - Qale Oct 5, 08:28 3

    - If they would just enroll in the Pence Conversion Academy, they wouldn't have these problems. -- nm - jnine Oct 5, 09:26
    - It's probably more along the lines of allowing religious objection in every area of life. So officials could refuse to perform marriages, certify them - 🕸 TWuG 🚀 Oct 5, 08:42 1
