Is she on the end, or in the middle?
Sorry she is indeed the one on the left. The other is Kimberly Guilfoyle formerly of FOX and originally in charge of making Gavin Newsom smile.
Did she peg him?
Why the fuck does it matter?
Ugh, stop getting offended every time a joke is made. Besides that, maybe Don Jr. likes getting pegged too.

I don't think it means anything and certainly not a negative. I guess I am not Republican and obsess over the sex lives of others.

Try and keep up with the conversation: RT, decidedly NOT a Republican, made the first sexual comment.

Yeah in this case the initial joke was her pleasing Gavin Newsom… you can deactivate your radar… false alarm.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

RT suggestion that her facial expression is a determining factor if they are phony is essentially discrimination based on looks.

For instance, if you have a proper jaw that fully supports wisdom teeth, it's hard to make certain facial expressions without looking a bit goofy.

That means nothing, unless you are trying to be a movie star. Very superficial RT.

The Mackinaw and stop sign incidents do concern me, however.

What someone looks like absolutely effects how someone perceives them. 80% of communication is body language. If you look goofy people may be less inclined to vote for you. You would likely have a taller hill to climb to overcome that. Not impossible but it puts someone at a disadvantage. It’s the same reason Kennedy was seen as much more likable than Nixon in 1960. He looked a lot better on camera at the Televised debates than the five o’clock shadow and sweating like a pig Nixon.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

Some of y'all should think about running for a university regent. MSU. UofM. Wayne State.
Let's face it. Voters have no idea who these people are.
Get on the ballot, make a meme, have everyone you know share it on Facebook. Keep posting the meme once a week.
People are going to vote for you just because you're the only one they recognize. It's actually doable if you think about it.

Most Michiganders are probably at least aware of half of the U-M Regents:
-Mark Bernstein
-Denise Ilitch
-Jordan Acker
-Ron Weiser

I'll agree. So who would I vote for? Sam Bernstein's son, or a name I've seen plastered all over social media? Like I said, I think a social media blitz could get someone elected to something like this. City council. Country commissioner. College regent. Keep plastering your name on Facebook and Twitter. Make TicTok and YouTube videos. It may be an unconventional way to run for office. But for something fairly local, I think it's doable.

Ron is one of the least crazy GOP members. Still voting for Denise and Mark as well as Richard Bernstein. I guess Beth will be running the show down at Bernstein Law.

Denise isn't on the ballot this year, but I recommend giving her the boot when she is up. The two incumbents up are Michael Behm and Kathy White, both Democrats. I am endorsing both.

Ironically, we have a conservative named Joseph Backus running for Macomb Community College Trustee. To my knowledge, no relation to Jeff. I am voting for him.

As far as the state candidates, I will make up my mind once the League of Women Voters' guide goes to press. That is other than Whitmer and Nessel. Jocelyn Benson did piss me off with the appointment system debacle. She will probably get my vote, but I want to read what the third party candidates have to say.

I said I wasn't making any judgment at all. No assist for anything. I have every right to vote 3rd party if I were to do anyways. I said I probably WILL vote for her.
