That he still has that 40% approval rating against a backdrop of mass death, economic ruin, and general chaos is a testament to the fact that a significant portion of the country is fully ready to don their special Nikes, drink their Kool-Aid, and hop aboard the comet-ship to eternity; and there’s no getting them back.
Yeah, once again proving Senate Republicans are more cunning beasts than Trump, with his “Look at me pardoning Susan B. Anthony! NOTHING TO HIDE HERE! Also, how can you trust Michelle when she low-balled my Corona deaths?!”
Not only did the Senate Intelligence Committee conclude that Russia interfered in 2016, but that the Trump campaign sure as fuck colluded (especially Manafort and Stone) and Russia is still interfering in 2020. It’s worth taking a closer look at!
With apologies to Nintendo:

Here’s a bit of positive news on that front: some House Democrats are signaling that they’ll use inherent contempt if Louis DeJoy doesn’t show up for this hearing. If there was ever a time for them to really take Trump’s goons to the mat, this is it. Let’s hope they follow through.
Ha! He was chosen as Obama’s VP to comfort a party terrified of nominating anyone other than an old white guy. As for his time on the SFRC, he was a handmaid to some of the worst excesses of American empire throughout the 90s and 00s, including championing a plan to divide Iraq into three countries by ethnicity, which…
That’s how you know it’s a quality gif!
