Preznit Fuckwit is a low-wattage moron who is fundamentally incapable of processing information — and yesterday, he just made one rake-steppingly bone-headed decision after another. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring the receipts. link is here: bit.ly/4Az3oaz
Donny Convict truly is the worst of us.

he’s a burst trash bag of personality defects. can you think of something that isn’t wrong with him? there’s the preening vanity. imagine looking in the mirror, seeing that desiccated piss-mop perched atop your head, and going, ‘oh yeah, I’m really rocking it today.’

then there’s the narcissistic grandiosity, and the overwhelming stupidity.

he’s got fascist tendencies. he’s incapable of ever telling the truth, or admitting mistakes. he’s a cheater. he’s lazy and impulsive, with the attention span of a coked-up squirrel. he’s racist, transphobic, and misogynistic.

he’s delusional, imagining that he’s entitled to all the power, all the money, and all the attention.

but even given all that, never forget that above everything, he’s a complete fucking moron.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-
