From the day that he lost, Trump has been doing everything he can to crap over the Biden presidency and to collectively punish the country for rejecting him. That’s really remarkable.
No lie detected.
Crap on the American people.
Another way to put it: Trump has 81,283,501 people living rent-free in his head :)
Edit: I didn’t mean that to be dismissive of the threat that he clearly poses. I’m mostly just glad that he’s clearly upset that everyone doesn’t absolutely love him. And if the stress or high blood pressure or hamberders or whatever the fuck ends up killing him… I’ll read his obituary with unabashed enthusiasm.
It's ridiculous to think the front runner for the presidential nomination of one of the two major political, the year before the election, is "rent free". There's a good chance that his future is our future, so he needs to be monitored.
Now if the R would grow a spine and put a real candidate forward, we could forget this idiot.
I have the same hope, but the GOP has done enough damage to the society and country that I grew up and live in within my lifetime that I will categorically never vote for a Republican.
We have a two party system, very frustratingly (and feel free to apply your own additional adverbs) entrenched. If that’s the game we’re forced to play, fuck the Republicans with a rusty pole. If the people who started the party were here, I’m fairly confident they’d do their level best to physically accost and dethrone the current leadership of the GOP.
