The resulting report is a near-random mixture of grievances and real problems.

    Are we expected to simply forget that he was in charge during the COVID-19 outbreak and seized medical equipment / PPE for resale, told people to inject bleach and take random drugs, and deliberately allowed the disease to spread in areas that vote blue?

    Trump respects science as much as I respect him.

      There are memes in right wing circles about “admitting that we were right all along,” usually accompanied by a pretty smug look.

      There are a significant number of people who just want to pretend that none of the deaths happened.

      if we only went backward to phrenology… can you imagine all the fatty puss filled beta shitbag regions we’d have suspected was “his problem” after dissection. I can’t even imagine actual peanut butter and gravy just spewing out of his “area for well manners”.

      i certainly can’t picture them examining his “morality tissue area” and finding like a worm with a cigarette in its mouth.

      Who fucking knows but man that’d have been a good gig. Just scooping parts of bullshit right out.

      confused

      He’s doing this shit on purpose. He isn’t just blundering his way through a terrible presidency, he’s intentionally damaging the US in every way he possibly can. This is way beyond just confusion.

      He is a domestic enemy of the US and our constitution.

    Trump can’t usher in shit. Dude started a war with Iran and gas costs $4 a gallon. He’s a complete failure, a pedophile, and a con. He won’t usher in shit except a forever war and maybe the next great depression.

      Trump can’t usher in shit.

      To the contrary, that’s the only thing he’ll usher in.

    When the regime falls, an embarrassingly significant amount of funds will be needed to pull all that tacky gold crap off the walls.

    And fix the reflecting pool.

    And restore the east wing.

    And fix the reflecting pool.

    And thats just some of the physical things that Trump vandalized.

    What science? Climate change denial? Anti-vaxxing? Grift optimisation? How to evade the law by being rich? Tax evasion studies? How not to pay your contractors? Studies on adolescent sexuallity?

    Maybe this is meant to be taken a lot more literally and Trump is just going to force all science to be alchemy now? Because it’s definitely not going to be the common meaning of a “golden age” based on everything he’s been doing.

    Uh huh. Clorox cure for deadly disease. Vacuuming forests to prevent wildfires. Climate change is “a hoax”. Just redefining what science is supposed to mean.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
