Almost seems like Biden can save money on commercial shoots, by simply using Trump rallies.

Perfect. He’s writing the ads against him.

As the inevitable rebound wave comes from his idiotic promotion of Covid denialism, the video against him will be readily available.

Why should ‘appalling’ be considered appalling any longer?

And big, bad, virile, manly Trump asked for testing to be stopped? He did nothing of the sort. He is an absent President with an empty head.

He thinks stating this aloud is somehow helping his re-election.
When in reality? It will be presented as evidence in his upcoming trials.

And he will either be found guilty or proven a liar.

The best kind. No better idiot in the universe. He was the first idiot, you know. Tallest idiot, too.
Other people claim to be the first, claim to be the tallest, but he got the trademark. He’s suing everyone else we call an idiot. Some people call him a “fucking moron.” They don’t know. But he hasn’t trademarked “moron” yet, so he can’t make any money off of it. He’s a legacy. His Dad was an idiot. His sons are idiots. Very proud tradition. Very proud. Best idiotic tradition EVER! He’s an idiot who became president. How many idiots became president, huh?

Only one. Only he did. Best idiot out there.

OT but I think we should take the DeAnna Lorraine standard—“BEST.PRESIDENT.EVER” for drinking a glass of water—and use if for ourselves, in other contexts.

For example, as a Father’s Day Celebration: Today I remembered my daughter’s name and actually looked up when she walked into the house. BEST.FATHER.EVER!

I’m hoping that this picture captures Trump’s re-election chances- one trump supporter in a sea of blue.

The number of new cases has spiked in the last two days and I don’t think that is entirely due to increased testing but to a real increase in cases due to some states opening up. The gold standard for this pandemic is the number of hospitalizations for COVID-19 and that is still slowly increasing. We will probably see a significant increase in those numbers due to opening up and having political rallies.

In a related development, Trump has announced his plan for reducing speeding in school zones. He plans to prohibit the police from patrolling in school zones. Problem solved.

If he hadn’t spent his entire life demonstrating that he didn’t deserve any kind of pity, it would be pitiful.

Is there any limit to this man’s stupidity? Or criminality? Still searching for the bottom.

I wonder how many tweets Trump will need to berate WaPo for publishing that photo?

I bet Jeff Bezos slept a lot better than an angry, humiliated Trump did last night. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
