No, Prince John isn't running the federal government, he's the guy who was made the Chief of the Gazpacho Police after having survived the Bowling Green Massacre... Duh. 🙄

In Ukraine a comedian turned out to be a heroic president.
In America a President turned out to be a pathetic clown.
Including the facepaint.

Just when I think it can’t get any worse, the Retrumplicans prove me wrong on a weekly basis. How can you get more crazy each week after another.

If you see someone waving the Confederate flag and at the same time saying they love Abraham Lincoln, just know they're lying out of their asses.

This is the biggest step backwards human civilization has taken since the Dark Ages. Scary thing is, that's no exaggeration.

The GOP actually makes me ashamed to be a US citizen. I apologize to all countries for our absolute ignorance.

[Leonaza]

Just a few days ago Barr stated if Trump ran he’d vote for him. So nothing this dude says against Trump is relevant.

If you ever think you’re having a bad day, or kinda just beating yourself up, remember it could be worse. You could be a Republican.

Remember before t'Rump? When things were serene...and you didn't wake up every morning wondering wtf crazy shit would happen? Yeah me too. Sigh.

_“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.””_ —Isaac Asimov

As a non-American I am utterly speechless at all these dangerous clowns having influence on the Republican Party. Has the country gone mad??

[batgurrl]

The unfortunate mix of hilarity and frightening as hell. I’m so embarrassed and worried that they represent almost half of this country.

"Beautiful Beautiful White House"

Donald J. Trump

"That White House is a real dump"

Also Donald J. Trump



When a large chunk of your country wants to sign up for 4 more years of this buffoonery you've got a problem.

Deplorable indeed.

"Send in the clowns. There ought to be clowns. Don't bother, they're here." Perhaps "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you" is also appropriate.

[chiggins]

Preaching to the choir but we know what we have to do. In every election big and small we need to vote like we did in 2020 and rid this country of the tRump cancer.

[lowkey]

Always hilarious seeing Steve Bannon refer to *anyone* else as 'revolting' - check the mirror, Steve.

[joesmith]

One major success of the GOP is that they've made themselve parody-proof.

[tomhamilton]

None of this should be taken lightly. They are completely insane but insanely dangerous in their single mindedness.

[onefatstratcat]

The shitshow that politics has become is thoroughly disgusting

[RJLNetwork]

This would be laughable if it wasnt so damn scary! A 2nd trump admin would be very different from the 1st. VOTE BLUE!
