"Chiropractor Garrett Soldano declared, “President Trump is still my president.”

Vying with each other to be more of a buffoonish liar, just a freeform donnybrook of Buffoonish Liar Leapfrog. Way to go, GOP, I’m sure that’s a great long-term path forward. An increasingly small tent, packed ever tighter with reality-denying assholes.

I wish each and every candidate for a high state or federal office was required to take a mental status exam - and then publish them. One of the very first questions is to name the current president. Many of these bozos would fail the exam, or expose themselves as liars.

Music to my ears. Josh Shapiro is a calm, thoughtful, intelligent human being.

Mastriano? Not so much.

Look at Ryan Kelly. The seam is showing where they stitched on his head. The grimace indicates it’s still smarting. Yeah, this is silly.
