    You know, folks, I’ve been talking about Sasquatch for a long time. A very long time. And people laughed. They said, “Oh, he’s crazy, he’s making things up.” But I wasn’t. I knew. I always knew. I said it was out there and guess what? Turns out, I was right. Again. I’ve been right from the beginning.

    They tried to say it was a bear. A shadow. A guy in a suit. Please. These people, they don’t know. They’ve never been in the woods. They’ve never seen what I’ve seen. I’ve talked to a lot of people, smart people, hunters, trackers, real outdoorsmen. They all say the same thing. It’s out there. And it’s big. Very big.

    And I’m not saying this to brag. I don’t have to brag. People already know. They come up to me all the time. They say, “You were right about Sasquatch.” They say it. And the scientists? Total disaster. They can’t explain it. They don’t want to. Because they’re scared. Scared of being wrong.

    And now, of course, the media wants to act like they knew the whole time. Too late. You can’t un-be wrong. You were wrong, folks. So wrong. And that’s the truth. Sasquatch is real. Believe me.

    Been reading about Trump’s “cognitive decline” since 2017. For some reason, we need to believe his brain is broken in order to explain away his miserable attitude and sadistic policies.

    No guys, that’s just a normal American billionaire thinking and talking exactly like they all do.

    United States is cognitively declining as a whole by allowing the current state of affairs to be happening.

    I love watching his brain eat itself in real time. I don’t even feel slightly guilty saying it. Everything that man has done since he got back into office has been negative and cynical and damaging to the country and its guests, and I just get a kick out of watching him suffer. I hope to laugh harder at future White House sundowning events.

    So, yeah, it was fucking dumb, and orangeboi is a categorical fucking imbecile, and it’s comically obvious that - up until about a week or two ago - he was infuriatingly russophilic, and disturbingly friendly with Putin.

    With that said: it is also absolutely true that Biden slow-walking military aid for Ukraine (largely at the behest of his NS advisor, Jake Sullivan) was an absolute ass-tier strategic play. The constant haranguing of “oh, the F-16s are too complex” (they’re not), “oh, we don’t want to peeve the ruskies too much” (relying on scare tactics is one of the core elements of Putin’s geopolitical playbook), “oh, ATACMS would trigger a real response from Putin” (it didn’t), “oh, we didn’t mean THIS red line, we meant THAT red line” (hello, noncredible defense policy desk speaking, just a moment) has been, since very shortly after the start of the more active phase of the war in Feb 2022, deeply infuriating to a LOT of people, and it served as a milquetoast example of strategic leadership that the EU frustratingly refused to step beyond.

    If orangeboi simply says “fuck it” and opens the floodgates for military aid… well, I will still fucking hate the guy for what he’s doing to my country by being in charge of it, but meaningful and significant aid to Ukraine is one hell of a silver lining. I was convinced Putin and orangeboi were just gonna try to slice Ukraine up like a Molotov Ribbentrop pie, but color me very pleasantly surprised that Putin’s intransigence has somehow actually gotten orangeboi to completely lose his patience with Russia.

      Trump: “And uh, what’s your name again?”

      Mark: “It’s Mark.”

      “… Shark?”

      “No, Mr. Trump. Mark. Mark, with an M.”

      “Got it, Shark. So listen, you’re my good friend, Shark NATO. And we’re gonna get these supplies, even if Crooked Joe couldn’t get this war done like he promised he would.”
