When that narcissistic asshole is finally gone, I fully support a taxpayer-funded effort to scrub his name off of everything he forced it onto. Dismantle his entire misbegotten "legacy." Leave nothing.

LIGHTS BEGIN TO FADE

DEMOCRAT: You see, you got exactly what you wanted. And if you forgot that you and everyone you love were included when Trump promised to hurt everyone, that's a small price to pay to have owned the libs, isn't it? Buck up! And don't forget to fill out your unemployment form...

REPUBLICAN: (face awash in emotion) But he's never hurt anyone, I already said! He's-

DEMOCRAT: (interrupting) One of the good ones? I know. I know. But here's that post you shared on Twitter where you agreed with deporting everyone like him. See how you called them all 'illegals'?

REPUBLICAN: He wasn't supposed to tariff things we don't even produce here! That's just stupid!

DEMOCRAT: (smiles broadly) Exactly. But when he said he'd tariff whole countries, you supported it. And you supported ICE, too. I'm very sorry for your nephew, but that's what you voted for.

REPUBLICAN: But... but...

DEMOCRAT: No, no, it's OK. You wanted this. Here's the Facebook post you made where you said you wanted it. See the meme? You made fun of Democrats for telling you how tariffs work. And your business imports raw materials all the time.

REPUBLICAN: But the tariffs are killing my company and ICE just deported my nephew! He's never hurt anyone!

DEMOCRAT: (smiles sadly) You just thought he'd do these things to other people. You didn't realize that to him, *you* are 'other people.' And he doesn't care about 'other people.'

REPUBLICAN: (Whimpers softly) This isn't what I voted for.

DEMOCRAT: (puts hand on REPUBLICAN's shoulder sympathetically) But it is. It's exactly what you voted for. Everything Trump is doing to you is something he said very clearly he'd do.

SCENE: A cafe called "The Commons." People are chatting with one another at tables like any other cafe. The spotlight is on a table with REPUBLICAN and DEMOCRAT seated there. REPUBLICAN has tears streaming down his face.

Every time I see a Republican post something like, "This isn't what I voted for," I imagine this scenario.

Thanks to the incessant drive to add AI "features" to every goddamn thing whether they're wanted or not, it's now possible to have an AI write and send an email on your behalf, which is then read and responded to by another AI, with no human involvement.

The "dead Internet" theory is true.

OK, can we all acknowledge that the shit coming out about Epstein and Trump now is absolutely bonkers?

We don't just need *more* Democrats, we need *better* Democrats. The eight Democratic senators who've betrayed us need to go.

When the asshole monster is finally gone from the White House, one way or another, I would fully support a taxpayer-funded restoration of the East Wing and the complete removal of the abomination he's creating to try to smear himself all over American history.

My oldest is currently studying at UBC, and he's been joking about Canada having just a touch of monarchy too.

"Maybe a little bit of kings, just for fun."

"Kings added to enhance flavor."

"Trace amounts of kings may be present."

"Kings are for entertainment purposes only. Not to be given real political power."

During a conversation with my family about #NoKings, the fact that the UK supports it came up as a bit of irony, as they technically do have a monarchy - specifically the one the United States fought to escape.

The jokes wrote themselves.

Trump posts AI video of himself bombing protesters with brown liquid The president’s video comes after weeks of Republican complaints about violent political rhetoric on the left

During the run-up to #NoKings, apologists for Trump tried to claim he's not a king or trying to be one, so the protests were pointless.

Guys, if he behaves like one and embraces the imagery of one, at a certain point you should really start asking yourselves if he might be one after all.

I love that there have been frogs in basically every #NoKings post I've seen.

I love that my entire feed is #NoKings right now. As the reports of MILLIONS taking the streets pour in, I'm feeling hopeful.

When will Democrats take their party back from the ignorant far left radicals? Damon Kaswell's answer: I have a deal for you. One-time offer, and it won’t last, so get it while the getting’s good. Here’s how it works: Y’all stop being Nazis. All of you. Just stop. Stop being Na...

Now, thanks to the Young Republicans chat and the swastika in Dave Taylor's congressional office, it's time to stop taking pretend-indignant Republicans who are pretend-offended at being called Nazis seriously.
