Trump in charge of voting system changes is sort of like Larry Nassar in charge of sports medicine for teenage girls.

I’m set for the rest of my life

Ah - that explains it.

Well, actually it only explains half of it, but I wouldn't expect ypu to also admit that you don't give a shit about other people.

Right - a guy who's known to have visited Epstein's island is denying the conspiracy theories about his oh-so-convenient death.

That has all the credibility of a four-year-old with chocolate on his fingers and crumbs on his face saying "Cookies? What cookies?"

And?

I'd take senile over delusional, narcissistic, amoral, sociopathic, traitorous and pathologically dishonest (and probably senile to boot) any day of the week.

Biden was a mediocre-at-best president even when he was still sharp, and certainly went downhill.

Trump is absolutely the worst president in US history, and one of the worst national leaders ever in the history of the world. He's not even just incompetent - he's overtly malignant and actively and methodically destroying the US.

And I don't give a shit whether you believe me or not - it'll reach the point when you won't be able to deny it any more and you'll have to face the fact yourself. And by then it will be too late to do anything about it. And it'll serve you right.

The biggest scandal in American presidential history

LOL.

The only people who think it's a scandal are the people desperate to distract from the fact that we now have the most corrupt, dishonest, power-hungry, anti-democracy, traitorous, thieving, sociopathic and stupid piece of shit to have ever sleazed his way into the Oval Office sitting there right now, methodically violating the Constitution, ignoring the rule of law, stealing everything he can get his little hands on, lying literally non-stop and overtly destroying everything that was ever any good about the US.

And not coincidentally, he can't shut the fuck up about Biden either.

With that said, the other thing that stands out about this memo is that it uses all-caps to spell out "you" and "your." The obvious reason for that is that Biden was so far gone that he would get confused if his handlers didn't go over the top to delineate that he was being addressed. There's no other logical explanation, and we've seen this odd capitalization gambit before.

Yes, we've seen it before. As a matter of fact, if one goes to sny right-wing news or comment site, one sees it so incessantly that it's become a hallmark - anyone can write a satirical version of a right-wing article or post and have it recognized as such solely by scattering all-caps words through it.

And amusingly enough, they appear to serve the same purpose - they're there to help people with diminished cognitive abilities recognize the important bits.

LOL

Unfortunately, facts count for nothing now, since Trump is a delusional narcissist whose only reality is inside his own mind, and he's surrounded himself with angrily frightened sycophants who just want to be told that reality is something other than what all the people they hate and fear say it is.

Conservatives live in such a bizarre fantasy world.

You'd think that sooner or later it would filter through to at least some of them that it's meaningful that essentially without exception, if they just let information flow freely, whether on a website or a forum or in public comments or via an AI or whatever - it ends up skewed against conservatism.

But they never seem to get it. Instead, they go to great lengths to carefully censor and silence and astroturf and manipulate to force it over to a pro-conservative position, and they then have to constantly monitor and censor and astroturf to keep it there because if they relax their guard it starts drifting anti-conservative again.

In one sense, yeah - it's easy and obvious - they lie, and often even to themselves.

But that doesn't really explain anything. It goes so far beyond just lying that I really have a hard time making sense of it. Glib answers just don't hack it.

It just doesn't seem possible that they can sincerely believe that opinion consistently turns against them through some sort of near-universal conspiracy and that their constant manipulations and censorship and astroturfing can really be in support of truth. Sure, individuals can be that delusional, but that many of them?

I just can't make sense of it. It's like they believe that gravity is a conspiratorial lie that everyone else pretends to believe in just to stop them from flapping their arms and flying to the moon.

Government of the people, by the idiots, for the psychopaths.

I used to work with a woman who was part of a Pentecostal church that did snake-handling and speaking-in-tongues.

Reading this article was sort of like listening to her talk about her church.

And people are disappearing.

That's the actual point.

Bludgeoningly obviously, ICE had been chosen to be America's Gestapo.

I propose a deliberate and precise tracker of the names and records of all of the people in coming years who are going to needlessly die as a result of being denied healthcare because of the Medicaid cuts, with the express purpose of then entering them into evidence in the manslaughter trials of Trump, Vance, and every Congressperson who voted in favor of this bill.

I'm only half kidding.

And the Democrats for that matter - the Schumer bit was spot-on.
