Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.

Happy Sunday, dear friends! Welcome to August! 91 days until Halloween so don’t leave costume decisions until the last moment. Heh. But don’t sweat it, either. As crazy as this past week has been, it is past time to relax, laugh and nosh. Oh, and not forgetting the tipple. So let me pass the flutes of bubbly while you’re loading up your plates and let’s get to it. L’Chaim!

He’s riffing on the meme for pity’s sake.

Do you think James Talarico still plays with his Fauci action figure? https://t.co/ZdTxxzoktN

If nothing else, this fanboying of Goblin Fauci is a deal-breaker.

Funny, now that “Fauci” is mentioned …

🚨STOP SCROLLING: Everyone Should Bear Witness To This Savage TAKEDOWN of Dr. Fauci by Senator Josh Hawley.

Watch as he DECIMATES Fauci and makes him SQUIRM in his seat.

This is how all of our Representatives and Senators in Congress should act.

Josh Hawley is a joy to watch.

Would someone please check the weather in Hell?

Tell me, are they throwing snowballs?

What the fuck is this?

Funny, now that Fetterman is mentioned …

Can we trade Massie for him? Even Massie and another RINO to be identified later?

This is a perfect example of how so much of the discussion on here is driven by conspiracy theorists and liars. Thomas Massie is an obvious and prominent example of both.

Almost 1 million views on his post…

The bill he voted against, HR 8595, was the standard annual… https://t.co/3En9LW3StS

Your Sunday smile

Absolutely stunning.

🚨WOW. Child Dramatically Rescued in Santa Cruz yesterday

A 16yr old Lifeguard went VIRAL for the rescue, exhibiting STUNNING lifesaving skills

As onlookers attempted to help, they too were almost swept away, the young lifeguard telling them to save themselves pic.twitter.com/atvNEa4exW

What scared me most? When the other men tried to rush to help without a clue about how to interact with an angry ocean. Bravo to Ryder Williams, who kept his cool.

Time for me to pass you the doggie bags, dears. Time goes too fast but I can send you on your way with snacks. Let’s do this again in a week. Cheers!
