I had long since decided not to atribute human qualities to it. Yet I thought it needed a name. Not a name one would give a human or from which one could infer gender. Not one worthy of Capitalization.

Once upon a time I dreamed that over the course of the next 4 years and beyond don turdo would drop out of the news cycle altogether. I even dared think, "No matter what else happens, if we get to that point, it'll be great." Oddly I still dream of that.

Henceforth "Tesla Motors" is renamed "Muskrat Corporation". Products rebranded as "maga muskrats". Owners and drivers are "muskraturds".
from Wikipedia: Muskrats are "rats" because they're rodents with adaptable lifestyle and omnivorous diet. Declining populations in Canada, USA and Mexico.

mandate (oxford dict.): n. authority to carry out policy, course of action, given by electorate to victor candidate or party in election. Narrow margin of victory = less mandate. Considered decisive, not slight or nebulous. Another thing certain: the one becoming POTUS 1-25-2025 has no mandate.

FDR and JFK were both wealthy, educated blue bloods. Yet both connected well to the working class and made them feel included. There was unity. WTF happened to us to lose that?

Democrats show inability to get elected proportional to unwillingness to ensure voters are familiar with their accomplishments. Don't claim your accomplishments, your opponents will, then get themselves elected instead. If you can't get the media to discuss your actual accomplishments WT-actual-F?
