    "I'm glad he's/she's dead" is a longstanding WordForge tradition, you hysterical crybaby. :async:

    He was there scolding and finger wagging for every addition to Sokar's skull n' crossbones sig.
    I'm just assuming, not having run a search, and knowing how much integrity he has.

    I didn't give a shit about him, and I don't give one for some dead politician. Neither of which negates the fact that 14thdouchenozzle is a weasely little ratfuck who would never say that kind of shit in person.

    What a weird, sad thing for a grown adult man with a job to spend time getting upset about. Seek help, this lifestyle of yours isn't healthy. :(


    And I say worse things in public all the time. It's part of my ineffable charm, and it's better to say some things without an electronic record of them. :sokar:

    Please.
    We've all gotten your ass screeching on various occasions.
    You can try to play that shit off as kayfabe, but then your little "you're all weaseling liars, and I'm on this pedestal of purity" routine falls apart.

    1. None of my wishes involve you. You're just not that important to me. :(

    2. My "little wet noodle ass?" Yeah, I got under your skin recently. :garamet:

    3. Do you seriously think the Red Room is "the world?" Touch grass. :unuts:

    4. Free advice: If you want to find out what someone truly cares about, don't listen to what they say they care about, look at their actions. See how they spend their energy, their time, their money. That's a better indicator than anything. That's also how the rest of us see through the lies or self-delusions of people that claim to not care about certain things or who claim to care about two things equally while their actions tell a much different story. :async:

    Just barely in the real world, but it's just about the only currency this place has now that rep wars are a thing of the past. What you choose to spend your time and what I'll generously call your "mental energy" posting about shows the rest of us what currently matters to you. :shrug:

    As someone who hates to cook and spent many years living around both Chinatown and Little Italy, I can tell you with absolute certainty that wet noodles are delicious. :wub:

    In all honesty @Uncle Albert being a crybaby is also a longstanding wrodforge tradition.

    Seems like the only reason for her to accept is if she wants to be governor and feels like the increased profile from being an interim senator would set her up well to run for that job when Newsom is term-limited in 2026.

    Whoever accepts this appointment is NOT likely to ever be elected Senator from California. Padilla is going to stay there for 20 or 30 years; so would Schiff or Porter. Lee would not serve as long, but she's pretty far behind in the polls. Most likely, Padilla and either Schiff or Porter will be the next Boxer and Feinstein, occupying both seats for many years without serious opposition.

    So for somebody to agree, they have to either be retired (Boxer), feel that an interim appointment would set them up well for some other ambition, or currently hold a job that they wouldn't have to give up in order to accept the appointment.

    Another name I just saw is Laphonza Butler. She's the head of EMILY'S List so she's an experienced political operative, but she doesn't hold a position that she'd have to give up -- presumably she could take a leave of absence -- so it might be appealing to her.

    (And the sight of the Tightie Righties melting down at the thought of a senator named Laphonza would be spectacular.)

    She wasn’t always that way, but shifted in that direction as she got older and probably should have been booted from office a decade or more ago.
