1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Painful to think how much of this tracks back to Mango Unchained being too vain to wear a mask because it smeared his orange makeup. Opposition to mask mandates led to opposition to vax mandates which led us to welcoming back preventable diseases.

The tickets were *sold*, Al. That's why it's called a "sellout" not a "show-upout" 🀣

So I've wondered *why* they're sitting on this for so long? They've shown in other cases that they have no problem going against precedent, law, or the state constitution so why not just end this? Gotta be a reason.

You know we could have had a country where the good guys didn't have to wear a vest to distinguish themselves from the secret police but the black lady had a weird laugh so whaddya gonna do? πŸ™„

What does it say when we have to have a social media thread on "how to identify the different types of secret police"

Probably why Drumpf met with her and her boy toy on Sunday. Then again, he will cut ICE Barbie loose if she gets too toxic. She'll go under the bus before Nosferatu does.

Love your great point about what separates The Onion from its knockoffs and copycats: It always punches up, not down, in its satire.

His base knows the economy stinks and he's probably off his rocker but they couldn't care less because black and brown folks are having a bad time and they can say "ret@rd" again. That's the world they love.

Growing up in ENC, we used to say the t in Clinton (often pronounced "Clinnun" in Sampson County) moved to Wilt-sun

Google Maps often provides some fun pronounciations. The Google Maps lady says Mebane as "muh-BIN" but I just asked the Google assistant (different voice) who pronounced it "ME-BAYN"

Whenever I see Tyler Allgeier of the Falcons I want to pronounce it "All-jurr" just like Angier AMIRITE
