    Trumpcession

    Thanks dumbfuck conservatives. Maybe you could stop supporting pedophiles long enough to pick better candidates.

    I can’t wait until his ICE raids lead to widespread famine and we call joke about eating our Trump Steaks.

      I’m reminded of the phrase “Hoovervilles” which was used to describe the make-shift towns built during the presidency of Herbert Hoover at the start of the Great Depression. Apparently there were multiple terms named for Hoover in that vein:

      Democrats coined other similar terms that were jabs at Herbert Hoover: “Hoover blankets” were old newspapers used as blanketing, a “Hoover flag” was an empty pocket turned inside out, “Hoover leather” was cardboard used to line a shoe when the sole wore through, and a “Hoover wagon” was an automobile with horses hitched to it (often with the engine removed).

      Get ready to coin a new wave of disparaging terms for the things that Trump forces us to use to survive.

        I normally heard about cats being called Roof Rabbit. I figured it would be groundhog, opossum, or skunk.

    Something tells me we’re going to see way more Super Smash Bros characters in the next few months/years. The Blackstone CEO’s assassination is pretty much the same as United Healthcare’s assassination, but the Media learned not to call it what it is so they said it was a mistaken identity but the target was the NFL??? It makes no sense.

    Also the VA councilman that got burned alive was involved in Blackstone real estate decisions, so it seems these two recent assassination attempts were very much related. It’s like how a cancer starts to kill an organism but it triggers the body’s natural white blood cells to re-balance things.

    As Trump causes more and more fundamental issues, the “bread and circuses” will start to go away, and what comes after is… more white blood cells.

      The two are nothing alike

      1. Shane Tamura wasn’t targetting a specific person. That’s why it’s a mass shooting, and not a mass assassination

      2. He had a note on him explicitly blamine the NFL for his CTE, on account of them downplaying the risks of Football

      3. The Blackstone CEO wasn’t even an intended target. He went up the wrong elevator, looking for the NFL HQ

      They didn’t target Blackstone.

      Anyone cheering it on like it was a situation similar to Luigi is misguided IMO. You gotta be principled imo.
