Hilarious. But since nothing is over-the-top any more you're probably giving them ideers! It's like trying to invent a conspiracy scam or other insanity they couldn't possibly believe in. You end up with Louis Gomert saying his mask gave him COVID and a doctor trotted out by Trump as vindication of his own medical expertise who believes in demons and witches.

Hey - nothing from 2190? What gives? We know WHO doesn't.

If Trump finds theories about demon sperm worth pondering, someone should ask him about trepanning, and watch him pretend to know what it is, and say it "sounds interesting." Of course, WE know that we need it like we need a hole in the head...(ducks, leaves room hastily)

What I don’t get are the Trump ads on sites like Lawyers, Guns and Money asking, “Are you voting for Trump?” Don’t they know that’s an open invitation for “U.R. Dumm” and “Ima Phake” to vote “No”? What does this accomplish except to add phony Gmail accounts to their lists?

Donald Trump literally just killed Herman "9-9-9" Cain, since old Herman went to the Tulsa Death Cult Rally and promptly got the virus. Ok, it was pretty stupid of Herman to go to the Rally in the first place but still.

My wife gets these Trump emails and is the biggest liberal around. I never have. (She's a beekeeper; could that be it?) Yeah, they're really just that stupid.

Completely off topic: Y'all may have heard this, but I only just found out that Mike Adams, practically a headline feature at World O'Crap back in the day, committed suicide by gunshot a few days ago. First Bob Owens, now this. Maybe there's something about being a pathological gun nut that leads one to such a demise*. I hope Doug Giles is still finding strength in his testosterone Jesus.

"Aug. 12, 3030"? And here I thought I just had to hold out until November! I better lay in more booze.

This is not only hilarious, but eerily evocative of the whiny threats I receive from the NRA (they've got me confused with another Scott Clevenger, a lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, who must be wondering why his inbox is lately bereft of finger-pointing, flaming-haired alarmism from Wayne LaPierre). Wayne is DISAPPOINTED in me, and can't BELIEVE I would LAY DOWN MY ARMS and ABANDON THE FIGHT after all the YEARS he and I have spent STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER against the gun-grabbers.

I don't know how to tell him he was just a summer fling, and I've moved on...

"In the year three thousand and thirty, everybody wanna be an emcee.

In the year three thousand and thirty, everybody wanna be a DJ.

In the year three thousand and thirty, everybody wanna be a producer.

In the year three thousand and thirty everybody want to tell ya the meaning of the music."

-- "Madness" from Deltron 3030 (words by Del the Funky Homosapien, music Dan the Automator and Kid Koala)

Given penny-ante dictators' relish of ubiquitous portraits, these campaign emails are even more creepy than they seem. He really wants these rubes to believe he's watching them and cares about their compliance

This is very close to the ConservativeDirect and other weird email I get from the right-wing horses' asses.

All good fun, yes, but the fact is I get the same "your name is MISSING" emails from left-leaning sites too, so, Both Sides Do It, time for a shower.

This is eerily realistic (and I hope not prescient). I get the same emails somehow (I assume some shitheel signed me up on a lark). Anyway, I got one today and, just as you predicted, there's some escalation going on. Now, today the 500% match got boosted to a 600% match, but it's a slippery slope, man!
