Gelatinous Shitberg and the Butt Snorkeling Toadies would make a great name for a band.

Jim Wright: The "evidence" Trump released this week allegedly showing foreign interference in our elections only shows those foreign machinations helped Trump himself. No, Trump's butt-snorkeling toadies don't hate him so much that they let him go ahead and pants himself on national TV. Rather they're sloppy and they're stupid and they believe fanaticism is a functional substitute for attention to detail and expertise. The horrifying part is that cultish MAGAs don't care, they believe anything Trump says.
