This is one of those hard posts to write, you know,
admitting a terrible truth because you simply cannot hold it in any longer,
lest it continue to damage your psyche. So, um, yeah, here goes … Carlos has
become Donald … dear god, I don’t know if I can say it … he’s Thing 45.
See, Carlos has joined a group promoting HIV testing and awareness
for the Latino community in South Carolina. The group will be run within the
guidelines of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
[DHEC] and Carlos is one of the group leaders. Of course, I was so proud of him
and his desire to help and educate people, especially in an underserved
community, but then he became … Thing 45.
The group was asked to create a logo and they reached out to a local graphic
artist who produced several ideas. I have a background in graphic arts and
Carlos showed me some of the samples. I picked one and explained why I thought
it best, but, after a group vote, another logo was chosen, and that was where
Carlos turned to the Orange Side.
He did not like the outcome of that election, and so he
began plotting a new election that might give him the results he wanted and
said that some of the people who voted may not have seen all that they needed
to see, and so their votes didn’t count.
Yes, my husband perpetuated a Big Lie. He’s Thing 45 … and,
good goddess, does that mean I’m
Melanie????
On the upside, the logo chosen that he didn’t like, and neither
did I, was nixed by DHEC as looking too political and so it was redone, and now
Carlos likes it and has stopped demanding a recount. |
The Carlos story?!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best part of the post every week!
ReplyDeleteI despise Texas more each day. Nothing they do makes any sense. A shame we can't just cut that state off. The lunacy is astounding.
Never mind under the dump, he raised the debt ceiling like three times didn't he?
Kudos to Scotland!!!!! That is truly amazing. We'll never sadly see that here.
There's hope for Carlos yet; he did not continue with his fraudit claims and accepted majority rule.
ReplyDeleteIt's cold in Scotland and the black flies infest the country most of the summer. Although I am Scottish by descent I have never been there. Don't tell the UK government or they'll try and throw me out as an immigrant, although my great grandfather came down to London (where he wasted his gilt on wine, women and song and left my grandfather an orphan of the city of London).
This may sound subversive, but... I think Carlos was onto something? And for a second there I imagine your house all red for xmas (Melanoma's idea) and screamed a little.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't with the stupidity and sefl-destruction bent in Texas and Florida. Can't.
The answer is yes, repeatedly. For the hitting that gorge thing.
XOXO
Oh, Carlos! What a relief he was saved from the Dark Side!
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought perhaps Carlos had gotten an orange spray tan!
ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo)
ReplyDeleteGlad Carlos has pulled back
from Thing.45!
xoxo :-)
You had me worried about Carlos but glad it was only temporary.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you would be a much better First Lady, Bob.
Texas is just nuts. Don't understand their logic down there but maybe it is because I use critical thinking and can actually think for myself.
Have a great rest of your week.
If Carlos becomes 45 and you become Melanoma, check your kidneys.
ReplyDeleteAre you Melanoma? I don't know. Did you buy an expensively styled wig?
ReplyDeleteI don't if the tide is turning as much as people are just fed up with it, at least the sane minded.
Texas was hoping this would happen so they could go to the Supreme Court... again.
You and Carlos is kilts? If you go, send pictures.
I'm so old I wouldn't hit it, but I would stun it and turn it over to my daughter.
ReplyDelete@Maddie
ReplyDeleteHe had me scared about that count the vote mess!
Texas has long wanted to secede, so let ‘em do it.
@Helen
But to think that he tried to Big Lie!
@Six
Carlos was SO off, and I couldn’t live with my house if it looked Melanie!
Aleksandar is all kinds of deliciousness, no?
xoxo
@Mitchell
I don’t know what I would have done!!!
@Debra
Luckily, no!!!
@TDM
He was ALMOST orange!!!!
@Mr Shife
I certainly wouldn’t destroy the Rose Garden or put up hideous Christmas decorations!
You’re right on about Texas and thinking.
@Anon
It looks like we dodged that bullet!
@Dave
I could so NOT be Melanie, because I DO care!
Carlos already rocks a kilt on occasion.
@Anne
Hit it, stun it, and then turn it over to your daughter!
I'll hit it if he doesn't talk. I don't like a German accent. If you are Melania, then you need ridiculously high heels and loads of makeup. Ted Cruz is such an ass. I'm not too surprised Topekans didn't show up. They're conservative and apathetic.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
A little context is needed for that tweet... or am I dense?
ReplyDeleteBob? Don't you have any real looking men in that pic file of yours? These mannequins? Meh.
I had no idea Scotland was so progressive. I assumed they were Ireland 2.0. So I have always been afraid to go.
Grisham is a horrible human being. Wrong side of everything.
When Ted Cruz opens his mouth stupid can be far behind...
Making note: send one muffin basket to Judge Robert Pitman...
Huh. I think the campaign graphics are very confusing. Justice for J6 - meaning lock them all up, right?
Love the debt increase during presidency graphic. Why is THAT not on the national news? Hmmm? That's something rather simple and easy to understand. You know, as opposed to not telling the whole story... and the far right think THEY have problems with the media?
I can't wait until the world goes green and there is no need for oil and Texas goes belly up. F 'em.
You as Melanie? Only if it's a remake of Gone With The Wind! Does this mean your ripped all the roses out of your garden?
My son and his wife took a trip to Scotland (from Switzerland) just before the pandemic erupted and absolutely fell in love with it. It was on my list of places to visit when I finally get to go back to the UK sometime, although goodness knows it might be independent by then!
ReplyDelete@Janie
ReplyDeleteYeah, the accent might be a bit much.
I think I dodged going the Full Melanie.
About Kansas? Right? I mean, if they didn’t show up in one of the square states in the middle, maybe times are changing? Fingers crossed.
@upton
The Tweet refers to the subpoenas sent to Thing 45 cronies regarding1/6/2021 and how that are all hiding so as not to be served.
One man’s mannequin is another man’s dream boat. These are not all men I would hit, but just asking a question.
Cheers to Scotland.
Grisham wants to be the hero telling stories, but really she’s just the woman who goose-stepped along and is now trying to cash in.
Fled Cruz can fuck all the way off. Vile little toad.
Pittman pulled no punches in his ruling. Good on him.
To that group justice means letting traitors run free.
Psaki showed that graphic at a press conference and it went viral on social media, but not on the news, which makes ZERO sense.
I don’t get why the average American doesn’t demand we go green. Life would be simpler, I think.
Luckily, he wasn’t Thing 45 long enough for me to go FULLL Melanie!

@Treaders
Scotland’s on our list, too. Everything I’ve read or seen about it makes me want to go.
