I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

This was posted less than 24 hours before the tragic air crash in Washington.

Others could see the grave danger but not Trump.

His yes men government were too preoccupied with their tongues in a Trump orifice to say anything.

imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed management-by-vendetta sure is working out swimmingly

US air safety is suddenly in chaos after Trump sent an Exocet missile at those who control air traffic

Worldwide we see that Populism is great at elections but hopeless at the more complicated business of running a country

Populism doesn't do complicated

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.

Whereas when he was in power we were run by a small cabal of incompetent, self-serving, lying fuckwits.

This is how our democracy is SUPPOSED to work, folks.

Boring and normal.

No mob attacking the Capitol.
No incitement of insurrection.
No smearing feces on the walls.
No beating cops with flagpoles.
No crowds screaming to hang the Vice President.

Just a normal, peaceful transfer of power.

That mad cunt is talking about invading Britain. And the right wing press, who spent the last few years banging on about their love of sovereignty, seems entirely indifferent.
