Ronnie Three Fingers.

ETA: It occurs to me that Fat Donnie always puts the insult ahead of the actual name – Lil’ Marco, Low-Energy Jeb, Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Ted, etc. – so it probably ought to be Three-Fingers Ron.

Thing is, when you are vying for the nomination to the party of the dumbest fucking group of shitheels on Earth, looking like a jackass in a way everyone can understand matters.

I don’t like Piers Morgan and I certainly don’t like Ron DeSantis. This news story is fluff and unnecessary bull shit.

Who cares if he ate pudding with his fingers? I’ve done it. Maybe you’ve done it. What has that got to do with his fitness for office? (BTW, I don’t think he’s fit for office, but eating pudding has nothing to with it.)

Off topic, but I just couldn’t resist:

I guess he’s having second thoughts about claiming he “could shoot someone on the streets of NYC and get away with it”?

Just a mid-morning thought…

All these rules about what should and should not eat with you fingers.

Somebody should make a list

Oy vey… Is anyone else as disappointed as I am that Ron is quickly outing himself as a complete milquetoast? I was hoping for a serious Trump/DeSantis battle, but it may already be over. Talking about pudding is not gonna win this thing for him…

I had always been taught that it was the height of rudeness to eat in front of others, without offering some to them.

Personal tale, which you are free to skip: a much hated and resented in-law came over to the house. To make clear how unwelcome his presence was, my SIL cut herself a slice of pie and ate it in front of him.

This thug can kidnap and ship freezing migrants off to Massachusetts, nothing. Not a peep.
He can rewrite textbooks, make it illegal for kids to mention their two moms, criminalizes a woman’s healthcare, go full fascist on Disney and half the country shrugs.

But in this stupid country? This is what will hurt him.

Fuck’s sake, wake me when this stupid country grows up.

But I want to hear more about DeSatan’s fondness for Thai (which he pronounces “thigh”) food.

Hey, a civilized person would have at least taken a comb out of her purse and used that.

I’ve noticed more police officers in the subway this morning. It’s not much different than if the threats were coming from a band of terrorists holed up in a cave or compound overseas.

Are there no opportunities to comment on today’s Morning Memo?

If there was a single democrat with a pair of balls, THIS would be on every single social media post in Florida starting this morning, with a meme like, RON DESANTIS. THE BEST FLORIDA HAS TO OFFER. Then let it run for years…
