Well, they both involve fish hookers, so he must be right.

In potentially related (and extremely gross) news, Trump’s White House staffers occasionally found wads of printed paper clogging up toilets

Apparently paper doesn’t digest and just passes through coming out the other side same as it went in on top.

but what about that well-known pipeline that goes from ice fishing to ice fishing “shanties,” which inevitably lead to ice fishing prostitution in said shanties, aka dens of sin where prostitution happens on ice?

What happens in Ohio, stays in Ohio.

I take this as your interpretation of Mayor Shubert’s unusual musings: that if one allows ice fishing, there will be lots of screwing on the ice.

2 things: 1. American education seems to be reverting to the ‘3Rs’ (Reading, Writing, Arithmetic) of my childhood in red states. Everything else is viewed as suspect or ‘liberal indoctrination’. 2. The childish stupidity and clownish nature of GOP pols can lull us into a fall sense of security. They may be laughable, but their objectives are deadly serious.

I have no idea what that means, but there’s a joke in there somewhere.
