Too little, too late, Larry. You tried to “both sides” this issue.

Thank you, Governor Milquetoast, for your delayed milquetoast response. It’s very white of you.

Careful not to burn your milquetoast, Larry. You don’t want to be mistaken for one of them.

Personally, I thought Milquetoast and Bosco was better.

Why, I haven’t seen any bravery comparable to Gov. Hogan’s since Donald Trump waded into the rubble of the Twin Towers after 9/11!

Ummm, Hogan is not immensely popular in MD. He played his cancer card hard and wasn’t challenged by a strong Democratic opponent in his second race. I have been thinking over the weekend about all of this, because B’More is a good city that is hurting and wondered, why? Why attack the city. The only thing I can come up with is that to the fucker in the White House, Elijah Cummings is equivalent to Emmet Till. How dare you even look at my baby doll Ivanka, let alone subpoena her emails? I think Cummings going after baby doll is what this is all about.

Much too little, way too late. Hogan may not be running against the shitgibbon in 2020, but I can confidently say that his 2024 presidential run is dead in the water.

Still rather milquetoast if you ask me. It was not only outrageous but racist. POTUS is a racist. Trumpism is built on racism.

Ah! So he put his finger to the wind, and it came back as a Cat 5 hurricane screaming racism from all four corners of the earth.

A profile in timidity.

" He called Trump’s comments ‘outrageous and inappropriate’ on a local radio showMonday. ‘Why are we not focused on solving the problems and getting to work?’ he asked. ‘Instead of who’s tweeting what, who’s calling whom names.’”

That is a truly chickenshit response from a chickenshit finger-in-the-wind politician.

“immensely popular” is an exaggeration.
