What’s the opposite of Meritocracy? That’s what running our country now.

The fate of mankind is in the hands of fools.

My note to my two Senators, Tillis and Budd:

Our New "Government"Courtesy of the Republican Party

Dear Senator,

I am afraid that we are on a path for Trump to establish a Victor Orban/Hungary style dictatorship in this country. The only thing standing in his way is a concerted effort by the Republicans in the US Congress. Since you do not seem to be too particularly concerned about this, it must be that you are looking to benefit financially somehow in his kakistocracy/kleptocratic government, because it will not be what will benefit the American people. Far from it.

In 2125, history professors will begin lectures on the Trump administration by writing "Dunning-Kruger Effect" on the chalkboard-of-the-future.

Every day is amateur hour for this clown show. It’s a perfect combination of arrogance, stupidity, and contempt for expertise that allows them to think they don’t need anything but their own common sense in dealing with Putin. His Russian counterparts must be laughing their asses off whenever he leaves the room.

I speak English I guess that means I want to be under English rule. Let's have a referendum!

I want to be under Illinois rule, because J. B. Pritzker is a hella better Governor than mine. Let's have a referendum.

“They’re Russian-speaking. There have been referendums where the overwhelming majority of the people have indicated that they want to be under Russian rule.”

Fuck you Dickoff. Nobody WANTS to be UNDER Russian Rule

"I'm not sure where I'll be on Thursday, I have so many meetings." I know, I know, but...if Joe Biden had said that...?

Oh the arrogance of a mediocre, rich, white man. I mean Witkoff but that description could apply to DonOLD and almost his entire cabinet. Has no experience and doesn't think he needs a translator. Inconceivable.

He doesn't really need a translator (who might report back). He just has to kiss the ring and say "Yes, my lord," to everything.

Chump learned his lesson last time. Sure, he confiscated all the translator's notes after his meeting with Putin, but the intelligence agencies still debriefed the translator.

“He’s the commander in chief. The only way he’s going to be flying on this airplane while he’s in office is if he waives a lot of these requirements.”

Oh, he's flying on that bad boy, damn security, damn safety.
