He was a fan of Nick Searcy, but the star’s nude scene had been a bit jarring, especially since it was with an equally buck-naked Kate Upton. It had left the audience of Green Berets in the camp with very mixed feelings.

The liberty protest attendees knew exactly what it was – a benefit of being gun-fluent – and after a second to get their bearings, they scrambled. Being generally law-abiding, even where the law was an ass – as it was in gun-hating DC – none of the civilians was carrying concealed. If this had happened in, say, Texas, it would have been a very different story.
Christian D.  Orr
Actually, DC has slightly relaxed the stringency of its CCW application process in recent years.

In fact, recently-installed Veep, Elizabeth Warren, had only been in office for a month. The announcement of Warren as his third VP in under two years had not gone well. The President told the cameras, “And most importantly, Elizabeth Warlock is a woman of color, an Indian, like tee-pees, you know, not like tandoori.” After that, he made no further public appearances.

Jane Fonda’s new 27-year-old husband and personal representative, Chase Palestine. This was not his real name – that was Lloyd Tracey Purnass, and until hooking up with the desiccating starlet he had been a part-time activist and part-time DoorDash driver.

His meal ticket, who had to explain to him why people would yell “Kiss my ass, Hanoi Jane!” at her on the street, mostly refused to leave her apartment anymore because, rumors held, her latest facelift failed to take. But she still directed millions from her donor network to the left-wing causes she fancied and lavished attention on her boy toy, who enjoyed the financial aspects of their relationship far more than her surprisingly rigorous erotic demands.
