    Nobody is going to drop the quote from Orwell’s 1984? (sigh) I guess it’s true, people HAVE stopped reading. 😞

    “‘War is Peace’, ‘Freedom is Slavery’ and ‘Ignorance is Strength’”

    He is so fucking demented. It’s obvious his brain is just mush at this point, yet inexplicably he still hasn’t been removed from power

      A sock doesn’t need a brain to be a puppet, just a hand shoved inside it.

      Though that’s not a fair comparison; a sock has more functioning braincells.

      If his body is warm he’s usefull to the stooges actually running the show. As soon as he dies the easy train stops. No other Republican has been able to coalesce a base like Trump has.

    “Peace is so destructive for everyone. Even countries that aren’t involved. I mean, it’s so destructive for everyone when you have wars,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

        I assume he intended to say “War” as the first word instead of peace.

        He was thinking about his “Board of peace” and the wrong word slipped out.

        If you hang out with elderly folks that are slipping, you get used to figuring out the word they actually meant and how the wrong word got there.

    But Harris didn’t spend enough time during her three month campaign to really let me know that she’d be any better so this really is a failure of the democrats.

    On the positive side, perhaps he’ll get in a muddle and deliver peace with Iceland instead of war with Greenland.
