“I’m a full-service presidential candidate!” giggles Andrew Yang Shooting Whipped Cream Into Kneeling Supporters’ Mouths and locking in the Twink vote for 2020.
WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
This is my letter to the World
Real World Address
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

What is going on in our culture that grown men willingly would kneel in front of another man and allow him to shoot whipped cream in their mouths?
I’m guessing the guy to the left of Yang has already submitted his resignation letter.
At the 20 second mark of this video the campaign organizer informs him that Yang has lost all credibility, as if there was ANY to begin with, and he’s going back to the privacy of the bus to quit this job in a more discreet setting.
These people have the gall to say Trump’s behavior is inappropriate.
Everything about them is disingenuous and rotten to the core.
When does open season start?
Dr. Freud to the white courtesy phone, please.
Nothing weird there at all. No sir.
His manager in the background is like what in the hell?? At least there was one decent and sane guy there.
Who could guess that when Biden threw his hat in the ring he’d automatically be absolved of all past criminal activity?
Further, it the most powerful man on the planet, Trump, is not allowed to investigate the criminal behavior of Biden doesn’t that then make Biden the most powerful man on the planet?
Think, the sheriff arrests Bob for criminal behavior and instead of Bob being hauled off to jail the sheriff spends the rest of his days defending himself.
The entire gov’t has now been turned into one big clown car for the whole world to see. Like everything else they touch the communist democrats have denigrated the entire process to where there will never be recovery. Once trust has been lost it can never be fully regained. In the long view I believe this whole charade will have to crash so that “something” else can start. Maybe a whole lot of little “somethings”. Each state is it’s own country with nothing legal connecting any of them. Eliminate DC and the federal gov’t completely.
I thought the one from South Bend was the one that was gay.
God, that was great. I am sincere when I say that I will miss these lovable lunatics after Trump is re-elected. In part because after his re-election is when I figure some serious 70’s style violence will start up. Informative article about the 70’s here:
