I get the best disses. Nobody gets dissed better than me. People come up to me all the time and say “Sir! You get the best disses in the world!” I’m the best there’s ever been at getting dissed!

Sort of a clothes-on, hands-off successor to the erstwhile DU Grotto.

A place to drink and unwind from the week just ended.

Love have you join us there, dave. First round is on me.

(the atheists won--the Christians were fed to the alligators, bcuz we couldn't get any lions..... )
You missed the Bowling Green Massacre and the savage battles to seize the Revolutionary War airports. Those of us here will never forget what never happened at Bowling Green. Every year on Feb. 30th, we re-live that horrible day and remember the Bowling Green Six (or is it twelve? Or four? Or eleventy-three? the details are so hard to remember.....)

Oh, and Donald tRuump.

You should never have left, man! Welcome back!

A fluke can happen: the Orange Maniac wins the presidency!

He committed illegal acts, but his party was too cowardly to kick him out.

There was a great virus and he managed it horribly, which cost him dearly and cost numerous Americans their lives unnecessarily.

He was impeached twice.

Thankfully, the voters wised up and tossed him out!

He acted like a spoiled child and strongly encouraged his thugs to march to the Capitol and commit criminal acts.

He used delays in the legal system to avoid trials in which the evidence is overwhelming against him.

He was still convicted in New York on 34 felonies and found liable of sexual assault and fraud, among other things.

His party was still dumb enough to nominate him again for the presidency, showing a lack of viable candidates.

Because the country is so divided, the presidential race is still considered too close to call.
