Review of #Bugonia, recent events, and humanity in general.
Between Tr*mp assaulting women and associating, at best, with pedophiles; Sean Combs getting away with sex crimes; Matt Gaetz and the Tate Brothers walking free, and SCOTUS removing women's rights, the message is clear:
The lives of American women and girls are worth nothing.
The lives of American women and girls are worth nothing.

Are we're supposed to believe that the guy who boasted about walking in on naked teen beauty contestants didn't sexually assault children?

Tr*mp's 2000-dollar check proposal isn't a rebate. It's hush money. He wants to buy our silence toward fascism, fraud, and sexual assault of children.
Just as he did with Stormy Daniels. Because he's fucked us all.

Sure, Tr*mp issued completely pointless federal pardons to people convicted of state crimes. But, on the other hand, he also admitted that his entire "Stop the Steal" movement was a federal crime.
In conclusion: Tr*mp is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and a big fan of "enigmas."

As Tr*mp continues doing everything he can to deprive 42 million Americans of food, it's worth remembering that starving a civilian population is a war crime.

The nicest thing I can say about Dick Cheney is that he is no longer the most vile person to ever serve in the executive branch of government.
Hell, he's no longer even our most vile vice president.

Personally, I'm all for Tr*mp throwing a Great Gatsby Halloween party.
Jay Gatsby was a fraud who lied about his success and used criminal ties to make people believe he was a powerful businessman.
Tr*mp would know this, if he could read.

Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield's ear almost 30 years ago. Holyfield still has a chunk missing.
Tr*mp's "bullet to the ear" is a lie. Just like every one of his other claims.

Imagine how Tr*mp would act if one of his tenants decided to knock down the wall of a rented property.
That is how we should be acting toward the tenant of our property knocking down a wall of the White House.

Since Tr*mp loves his superlatives:
Biggest protests against.
Lowest approval rating.
Most impeachments.
Most criminal convictions.
Worst president. Twice.

For years conservatives complained about how giving every kid a trophy was making them "soft" and that they have to be so careful of offending the "snowflakes."
Now they're all offended that Tr*mp wasn't given a trophy.

Demanding a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating between Israel and Palestine while sending armed military to attack your own cities is like demanding a Father of the Year Award for getting your neighbors' kids to stop fighting then going home every day and beating your own children.
