There is no Russian city called Leningrad anymore, but apparently no one bothered to tell Donald Trump.

    During his campaign last year, Trump thought that Johnny Carson was still alive and available to take back the Tonight Show.

    Not a peep from the media or even Lemmy. It was, “Biden senile.”

      He thinks Hannibal Lecter is real, dead, and a fan of his. He’s obviously fictional, neither the character in any media he’s been portrayed in or any of the actors who portrayed him have died, and the character’s second most well known trait (you know, after the whole cannibal thing) is his absolute disdain for rude, vulgar people, and none of the actors have displayed a fondness for Donald either. His closing message before the election was about how much he loved deceased golfer Arnold Palmer’s apparently enormous dick.

        He kept bringing up Hannibal Lector because he doesnt know the difference between an insane asylum and political asylum.

        His campaign really fell apart there near the end. It was way worse than pretty much everyone realizes. He would just abruptly quit ranting and start dancing to the same song repeatedly.

    … sparks?

    I hate it here. Fucker has been riddled with syphilis and shitting himself since the 1980s and we allowed him to take the presidency twice.

        I won’t shut up about it.

        I had to explain to my father that, because of the wording of the new york penal code, the only reason that trump isn’t a convicted rapist is that the defendant could not assert on the stand whether Donald Trump penetrated her with his penis or his finger. Digital rape is a sexual assault charge. Rape needs a penis.

      Are there citations for this? I’m genuinely asking, for context and so I can feel comfortable repeating it.

      Edit: I don’t understand why this deserves a downvote. Im not defending Trump. I’m not trolling. I legit wanna hear stories about Trump shitting himself and the signs he has syphilis.

    The president’s age was all the news could talk about until Biden dropped out. Suddenly it wasn’t a problem anymore.

      Also! Inflation and whether or not it was the president’s fault, and all the Palestine protests and how Democrats (only Democrats) were facing a lot of heat for their support of Israel. Almost as if our media is corrupted by partisan influences that are trying to mislead and influence people, and it works shockingly well.

      Meanwhile trump is 2.5 years younger than Biden was when he dropped out, and has 3.5 years to go. So, the president’s age should be an even bigger issue then it was then, instead of disappearing altogether as an issue.

    Why are we using not having dementia as the intellectual benchmark for someone to lead a country. Dude can’t read or do basic maths let alone understand more complex economics or geopolitics.

    Even when he fails the dementia test we will resort to simply checking for a pulse, and I bet once he dies it will be covered up for as long as possible.

      You know, I wonder how far they’ll take medical technicalities in the future. Could they keep the current SCOTUS on the bench for 200 years as a morbid ship of Theseus because it’s a lifetime appointment? Just replace their organs with machinery as they fail?

      What if Roberts’ brain-in-a-jar occasionally drifted into sentience just to mouthlessly scream about how disappointed he is that nobody respects the court anymore? It would at least make me feel a little better.

      It would take all 20 Republican seats to get flipped in 2026 to have any chance at all of removing Trump cuz you know not a single fucking republican will vote to remove his ass.

        They might. It’s political suicide to turn on him one at a time. But they’re not all idiots.

        If some of them see an opportunity, they might turn. It just needs to be coordinated and effective. Because if you take that shot, you better not miss.

          Every Republican is an idiot. 100%. They’re all the enemy. They’re a part of a self serving idiocracy but like all idiots they’re too stupid to competently serve themselves, either.

      I was never concerned … I always knew he was an idiot … now, not only is he an idiot … he’s an old demented idiot

        No, “the best and brightest” just make up a much smaller percentage of the electorate than was necessary.

        At this point I’m also not convinced the convicted fraudster and his white-supremacist gang of ghouls simply flat-out rigged the election while the “both sides” folks tried hard not to notice.

    A White House spokesperson wrote the following statement, in part: “Joe Biden started this brutal war, and President Trump is trying to stop the killing.”

    No, Dementia Donnie is standing in the nearby carwash wrapped in tissue paper trying to play checkers with a rubber chicken as one of play pieces.
