I have an idea — while doomscrolling the news, tune out at the 1st mention of the name #DonaldTrump.

Not the point of the article, of course, but seeing this I can't help but be reminded how #DonaldTrump treated #CyndiLauper on #TheCelebrityApprentice, yrs back.
Condescending, loud, bullying, dismissive — all the hallmarks of an unrelenting, unrepentant pig.

You know Democrat strategic thinking slumped to new levels of low when they have to be reminded of what they should've learned by 5th grade.

That ages me. I'm old enough to remember 99 Luftballoons ....
And I still have a piece of the Berlin Wall, courtesy of Roger Waters and that rock on-location concert he pulled off with The Wall.

Good to know - tnx for sharing. My knowledge of Germany and Germans is based on innumerable travellers I've met along the way in Namibia, & in my frequent visits to - and passing thru - Frankfurt.
So much so I've started to root for Eintracht. There's no hope for me... Hopeless romantic & Spurs fan.

Pantomime villain!
And perhaps a little more true-to-life than some of us would like to believe.
I'm starting to think these MAGA Roy Cohn-wannabe types are capable of anything.

making it even more worthy of a recount in my eyes ...

Many people that I know who voted for the first time, people under 30, normally disinterested in politics — politics as it used to be, anyway — and mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

2. Not at all surprising, considering the source.
3. Even if he is not entirely made of brown fluid, he sure does show a propensity for spraying it around.
4. True also of Cuomo, as you rightly point out.
