We watched the SAG awards last weekend and when Parasite won for Ensemble Cast the man who accepted spoke Korean, but had a translator onstage, Carlos said,

“I’d like to learn another language.”

“Try English.”

I’m lucky he has a good sense of humor and loves me.

California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu says a lawyer for _____ lapdog and co-conspirator, California Republican Congressman Nunes threatened to sue him if he did not apologize for saying Nunes had conspired with Lev Parnas, an “associate” of Rudy Giuliani.

But then came Parnas on The Rachel Maddow Show saying _____ “knew exactly what was going on” with Ukraine and that he had personally spoken with Devin Nunes.

And that same night, Nunes slithered over to Fox News and admitted that he had talked to Parnas but didn’t recall the name.

He thought it was a different ‘Lev.’ Seriously.

I guess in Utah they don’t like comedy with their rubbers?

The state’s Republican Governor Gary Herbert blocked the state health department from distributing condoms with suggestive packaging slogans that were part of a new HIV prevention campaign. The wrappers have labels like …  Greatest Sex on Earth … SL, UT [Salt Lake, Utah] … and This is the Place over a drawing of a bed, among others.

Erin Fratto, of the Utah Department of Health’s Prevention Treatment and Care Program, says the new condoms are a way to destigmatize HIV in Utah, and get everybody talking about sexual health.

About 100,000 condoms were to be distributed as part of a federally funded campaign called “The H is for Human” but in Utah the H is clearly for Humorless.

U.S. Attorney General, and _____’s personal bitch, Billy Barr says the FBI would have to meet more rigorous standards before opening any future counterintelligence investigations into presidential campaigns.

Yup. He’s making it harder for the US intelligence community to investigate election interference, rigging, and cheating.

Deplorable.

We have an opioid crisis in this country, or so says _____, but then why is he diverting $3.5 billion from counterdrug programs? And if he wants the strongest military in the world, why is he taking $3.7 billion from military construction?

The wall. That’s all. He’s diverting money from other programs to build his Racist Wall when most of us would rather see him behind that kind of wall.

A year ago, Disney bought 21st Century Fox closed, and now they are making some changes.

They’re dropping the ‘Fox’. Yup, the Fox moniker has been dropped from the studio’s 20th Century and Searchlight labels, which will now be branded as, simply, Searchlight Pictures and 20th Century Studios.

Now if we could just drop the rightwingnut racist news channel.

Not surprised at all to learn that GOP Senator Susan Collins has surpassed Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell as the most unpopular U.S. Senator.

Collins’ net approval rating has dropped 10 points since the end of September, leaving her with a 52% disapproval rating.

Worse than Mitch? Wow, Susan, you must be so proud.

Mena Massoud was born in Cairo, but raised in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The 28-year-old … 28? … god I’m old … actor is best known for the role of Aladdin in the Disney live-action remake of "Aladdin," directed by Guy Ritchie.

In my house he’s best known for that smile and the fact that he can change a tire and look hot doing it.

Just sayin’.
