Animals do lots of physical behaviors to each other, like grooming for fleas or ticks, that seem weird to us, but probably signify affection and closeness to them. They probably don't just let any old random monkey start picking through their fur, any more than we'd allow some stranger to hold our hand on the subway.

Animals show lots of affection to each other, and they show affection to us. Of course they recognize when we do stuff that shows affection to them. They'd rather have tummy skritches, but they'll sit still for some kisses.

"Your dream? Fascinating. I'm sorry, what's that Judith? I can't...I can't..keep talking, I'm listening, it's just that Judith is...What's that Judith? I'm sorry, I don't mean to miss your story of your dream, but it looks like Judith has a problem, and you know, she can't do anything without me! I'll catch up later, JUDITH, I'M COMING!"

"Who the fuck is Judith?"

It's not? Hmm, that might explain a few things.

Sure he will, it ain't his money. Probably give him a fat tip, too. Gather all that adulation on the taxpayer dime.

He's already on The List.

Well, there you go, free lunch for every schoolkid. Silver lining.

Always remember this axiom about MAGA: They are profoundly ignorant, virtuosically incompetent, and fuck up EVERYTHING they touch. This will be no exception.

ALL politicians take a Constitutional oath to defend America against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. The Founding Fathers understood that the nation has as much to fear from its own government as any foreign entity.

MAGA is a genuine, ongoing, AGGRESSIVE National Security Threat. They planned, supported, and launched an Insurrection, intended to kill the VP and numerous lawmakers, overthrow the government, and install a Dictator-For-Life. MAGA supported the theft of hundreds of classified documents. They have participated in the theft of countless and incalculable data and secrets, participated in an historical level of corruption, sold pardons to criminals, and gave pardons to cover for criminal activity. They weaponized the DoJ to attack their enemies. They have heavily protected the Epstein Files and covered for pedophiles and human traffickers. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. What more do they have to do to be considered a National Security Threat?

If ISIS or Al Qaeda or the Taliban came to America and started strategically throwing around billions of dollars to take over portions of the government, we would stop them, wouldn't we? Would we allow a KKK party that openly calls for the return of lynching, or a Neo-Nazi Party that openly called for a Neo-Holocaust? Of course not, the First Amendment doesn't extend to SEDITIOUS speech and behavior.

MAGA is just as dangerous as any of those organizations, literally Domestic Terrorists, and yet they been allowed to flourish, and take over. If we manage to take back this country AGAIN, we can't squander the opportunity AGAIN. It is imperative that our elected officials find the courage to act decisively, and ban MAGA from existing, including the Republican Party.

Conservatives would not be prohibited from forming a new party, but If we had gone that far to purge MAGA, then whatever followed would have to be carefully guided, so they didn't devolve into treason and corruption again.

That means the new party couldn't include any of the people or philosophies that defined MAGA. They'd have to start from scratch. If they want to be the traditional party of Smaller Government, Lower Taxes, Family Values, Fiscal Responsibility, etc., that's fine, but they better show concrete evidence that they are pursuing those goals, and not just lying to the American people to gain power, and go MAGA again.

They are a National Security Threat. We are under no obligation to honor ANY of their demands.
