same reason we just elected donald fucking trump. people will always take the easy option that makes them feel good.

then we’re boned.

at this point, I’m guessing he must be glad his legacy in the middle east will be fulfilled.

I’m always a fan of torturing a metaphor so yeah, exactly :)

It’s been going on for ages but at this point I don’t really blame the scorpion anymore. I certainly don’t blame the hornets wearing t-shirts, I mean, I don’t like them and I will try to exterminate them but not by trying to starve them out with scorpion overpopulation.

Right. And can buy the scorpion and the frog argument the first time around but this time there was NO ambiguity.

This is what we now have, we just decided the one vote goes to donald fucking trump.

trump assumes that because he sucks up, that putin is his peer. putin knows how easy trump is to manupulate, this first act after him winning shows that he knows exactly how to play him. my hope is that trump is too stupid to realize it because else there will be a dick waving contest among the two most nuclear armed countries in history…

yep, I hate it but at least it’s starting to sink in. come jan. we are in a functional trump dictatorship. there are no checks and balances left, the court assured so and with the legislative branch under his control, the single, only hope we have is that he’s too hilariously inept to be effective.

oof, bleak.

This one is on the folks who either voted for him or couldn’t be fucked to get off their couch. This time we ALL knew exactly who he was. I would have voted for a ham sandwich to prevent fascism. Dems suck but it’s verifiably true that the electorate can pressure them into action. Good luck pressuring ol’ donny smoothbrain to do anything that isn’t in his own self interest.

jebus, of this is the extreme court, what’s it gonna be in 4 years?

As opposed to the down home folksy charm of a rapist and convicted felon.

It’s been a week but feels like people are finally getting it.

There’s no checks and balances left, of all we have to hope is a line written on some paper many years ago, we’re fucked.

My pet theory was that the tech bros are lined up so that once turnip takes power, jv dunce can 25th him and boom, our government is being run by the puppet of peter theil and elmo.

His lickspittle behavior at the orange palace though might just fuck it all up. 🤞
