That's what feels so fucking deja-vu -unreal to me: There was a whole shitload of that around Nixon and his maddened LAWN ORDURE cabal: THEY were the Real Murrikans, the rest of us were just a buncha commie pinko liberal socialist takers & grifters, who hated our country and wanted to give it away to Ill Eagles!! And Russians !! SPYING for them, probably omg! (sigh) Yeah, that was exhausting the first time around. Am too fucking old to try countering those tactics again -- but Lord knows I will if I must. And I must. /End Rant

*fake* gold. Trump has never done an authentic thing in his life, except accidentally.

I thought Trump had been performing authentic a$$hole deeds. 😉

The vaccine we missed out on is probably due to a grift gone wrong which will cost a couple of hundred thousand lives, suck a few trillion out of the economy, and be blamed on Obama, but we can be sure Vladi is delighted.

I do remember when Tricky said, from the post-Watergate Oval Office, "My thanks to all those--the Real Americans--who have supported me." And I said to myself, then, "Well, OK, I guess I'm not an American anymore." It's kind of a game of Ultimate No Real Scotsman.

For the Republicans on the SC, Trump was just the free agent, oversized defensive lineman, that could plug a hole, and hold the opposition to little or nothing. He did his job, but lost in the end. And so is cut, like all losers. Now the Rs will rebuild, esp on offence. Nothing is about Trump to them. He was just a temporary fix to help move their agenda along.
