"Soon it seemed every sane person was acknowledging Trump was shit..."

So failure to acknowledge it is per se insane? Agreed!

This is sort of OT, but I’ve been easing my anxiety regarding the possibility Trump sets the world on fire on his way out by thinking about the many things I hate about him, that I will absolutely be relieved I don’t have to hear about as much after January 20.

One of the smallest, pettiest things I hate about Trump is the incredibly unimaginative nicknames he gives his enemies. He’s a disgrace to born and bred New Yorkers, because if we don’t like you we get creative and give you the kind of nickname that slips the knife in right at your most vulnerable spot.

Little Marco, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, seriously? With that kind of weak name-calling game I don’t even believe Trump is from Queens. I want to see his long-form birth certificate.

Trump: I didn't lose! It's all fraud! Massive, overwhelming, complete fraud!

Conservative Chorus: Fraud! All fraud!

Media and Normal People: Oh, rilly? How about some evidence? Got any evidence?

Trump: Evidence!?!?! I've have so much evidence, it's just overwhelming. Complete, Devastating. Such evidence!

Media and Normal People: Can we SEE some of this evidence?

Trump: No, it's all tied up in court right now.

Courts: Can we see some evidence?

Trump Legal Team: No, um, because, uh, reasons and WOW! LOOK! at the squirrel!

Courts: GTFO!

Trump: We have so much evidence. Overwhelming. Devastating. Such evidence! But the courts wont allow us to present any of it! They're all Deep State Democrat moles--even the ones that I appointed.

Media and Normal People: Okay, so can we see some of that evidence now?

Trump: No, because, uh, Raffensperger's brother works for the Chinese! And, um, Hunter Biden, uh, well, . . . Just you wait until my Proud Boys march on Washington next week! THEN you'll see!

Interesting typo I think: nice instead of nick. Although after considering it I'd leave it.

Re Trump's brain worms: when I pointed out on LGM recently that Trump has advancing dementia, some snippy commenter said that I didn't know what I was talking about since the dementia patients the commenter had dealt with were "gentle' and "timid." The commenter obviously never met the woman I knew who was mean as a snake either with or without her marbles. I got an in depth clinical study of the process. I still say that Trump has dementia and that he'll be either dead or confined to a wheelchair unable to speak by the time 2024 rolls around.

"Matthew Perry Odd Couple" where network "creatives"* proved they couldn't tell the difference between a "lovable curmudgeon" and a " fucking dick"

Oh Sweet God do I hate the term " creatives"

I listened to enough of Our American Führer’s speech last night to realize our country is truly fucked. A politically healthy country would have rejected this asshole in November 2016. A halfway normal country would have driven him from office in January 2020. As it is, he’ll be ranting and raging from Mar-al-Punta, to applause from Republicans nationwide, for years to come. A political healthy country would start arresting fascists on January 21st, but that won’t happen - exhibit A: Dick Cheney still walks among us a free man.

"Maybe the Lord does take care of fools, babies, and the United States after all."

I think it's actually closer to this.

If we held our elections like normal democracies, Trump would be telling the Georgia Secretary that if the state gives him his 11,780 votes, he only needs another 7,048,335 votes from the rest of the country.

Bravo! Encore! I'm preparing myself to miss Trump. I can't wait to get there at this point. I am interested in what his mix of speed and "miracle vitamins" is, and whether he gets injections or has another delivery system. Even if it's prescription only, it could be a money-maker. They could do over the phone prescriptions. I can see the ads now. "Presidential success secrets revealed at last! You can beat COVID, too, and keep a grueling pace on and off the campaign trail and the links!"
