All of them, real or imagined.

Seriously - how did we come to be in a timeline in which the PotUS is toxic, deranged and stupid, all at the same time?

It’s like we somehow, on a national level, picked out that drunk uncle who we deliberately didn’t invite to the reunion because he’s a lunatic who always makes an ugly scene, but then he showed up anyway, got stumbling drunk, went on a cringey slurred rant about who-the-fuck knows what, then threw up in the punch bowl and passed out and pissed himself in the back yard.

Screw impeachment - he’s so obviously deranged that he needs to be ruled unfit for office and simply removed.

Wow… there’s a name I haven’t heard in years.

I lived in Denver through most of the 80s and saw lots of live music, so saw her perform… I don’t know how many times. She always put on a good show.

RIP

Even if this is true, it’s already so awful that I don’t know how anyone would notice any difference. What would it do? Go from “really sucks” to “really really sucks?”

Reminder that Trump isn’t carrying out an autocratic coup d’etat in the US by himself.

He has the active support and assistance of the Republican party and their politicians at every step of the way.

Trump is Pol Pot. The Republican party is the Khmer Rouge.

Think he’s figured anything out about mob mentality and the damage they do in service to utter bullshit?

Yeah… me neither.

So by “fresh thinking” he actually means “sycophancy,” right?

That seems to be one of the defining traits of the Trump administration - be a malicious, incompetent, self-serving fuck-up, and fire anyone who won’t pretend that that’s not what you are.

No surprise there - Republicans have hated Wikipedia pretty much from the start, since they require valid attribution and constantly fact check, which means the Republicans can’t spin their lies.

Expect to see a lot more of that all around the world.

Trump can hide enough of his caprice and his pettiness and his self-absorption behind emotive rhetoric to fool the MAGAs, but none of that works on an international scale. The rest of the world just sees him, accurately, as a petulant, self-serving asshole and raving lunatic who can’t be trusted. Ever. And that’s the way they’re going to treat him, and the US by extension.

Wow - even as a Teto fan, that was better than I expected. Very nice.
