LOL Roy.

It has always amazed me that just because Trump doesn’t publicly drink and claims he doesn’t take drugs, the media just….believes him and reports it as fact. This is a guy who lies so much and so obviously if he told you the grass was green you’d go to the window to check for yourself. I understand the reluctance to armchair diagnose someone but there was plainly something medically or physically wrong with Trump during his Iran speech.

It’s a sad comment on where we are that imagining Trump in a drugged-out stupor while others run the government is actually a reassuring thought.

We can only deduce by now that the media *like* being lied to, even if Joe McCarthy's lawyer hadn't mentored the Squatter-In-Chief on how to manipulate the media.

Seriously! I mean I saw several pundits who applauded Trump’s speech as measured and sober. I’m relieved we aren’t going to war yet, too, but come on. Apparently the bar is so low if he doesn’t shit himself on camera he’s deemed to have exceeded expectations.

I'm sure he was wearing his big boy diaper.

I hate posit any sort of kinship or commonalities with Fuckbonkers-in-chief but I gotta admit, I too took drugs to cope with the other nights Armaggedonal Event . I hate to use the term "copious" ...(After all, One Man's "copious" may be another man's "just another weeknight")

Let me put it this way-

I'm still kind of high .

While Bush Jr. was clumsy speaker, he was at least emulating the structure of coherent speech. And I recall conservatives admitting he wasn't eloquent, notwithstanding they thought him right. Now we have a president who expresses himself like a brain damage victim and they pretend not to notice.

So true. Trump makes 43 looks like Pericles.

The Word Salad Queen endorses the Word Salad King-

"And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich, we’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries. Where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”

"And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy.’ ”

Funny that President Adderal and the Mayor of the Meth Capital of Alaska are both such masters of the same conservatine mad-libs.

Wait. Is this a real quote? I mean -- I don't know why I'd find that hard to believe, at this point but... I do. I guess my delusions about America are still partly intact. That's a relief.

From her Trump endorsement speech. There are several thousand more words, equally sureal. I would link to it but too much of that shit will fuck up your computer. Four years ago this month. Seems like 20 years.

I assume Trump’s bizarre enunciation is the result of President Dyslexia trying to read words off a teleprompter.

That and his ever shrinking cerebral cortex.

Fine, but why not 'Conley—the Needle!'?
