    Thumbs up New term to go with newtainment

    "Angertainment"----you go teddy


    Democratic Rep. Colin Allred dished out plenty of one-liners Tuesday while debating Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, calling his podcast “angertainment” and labeling Cruz’s anti-trans messaging a “hail Mary” to distract from his unpopular opinions on abortion.

    In one particularly memorable exchange, Allred told voters that his rival in the U.S Senate race would rather focus on transgender athletes because he “wants you thinking about kids in bathrooms so you’re not thinking about women in hospitals.”
    Angertainment can apply across the entire land of maga rinos----with trump leading the mean and nasty parade

    If you're using Allred as an example of what we need for a senator, you are sadly mistaken. Even Cancun Cruz, who is tragically flawed, is a better choice.

    YI know no more about allred than he seems to have coined the "angertainment", which matches well with my "newtainment" label for the talking heads of the nonstop cable networks.

    Man, Colin Allred sure looks like a footballer with that prototypical huge & strong neck of his. I'd much rather have a political conversation with him vs meeting him in some dark alley.

    I worked with two former pro football players. They'd taken a lot of hits during their careers and struggled to walk when they hit their 40s. Most of the "high impact" sports, including cheerleading, leave a good portion of ex-participants with painful injuries.
