He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him.

As a Canadian I know almost nothing about Zohran Mamdani, but I do know that he has more class than a man ever will who, while President of the USA, writes this, or the people who see a non-white left-winger win a democratic vote and immediately call for his deportation. The world can see this. Trump and MAGA are bringing shame on your country.

We know. We’re miserable. (Us sane people, anyway).

every day is more embarrassing than the last. i have felt shame in the past for the things our ancestors did, but there's something different about living in the midst of it. i fucking hate this place. any time i hear "well leave if you don't like it" i'm like "I FUCKING WOULD IF I COULD"

I haven't felt any embarrassment at all. This bullshit has always been a way of life.

Straight up impending doom this time aeound. Perhaps its that I'm older, but I doubt it.

This tweet by Trump is close to calling for an assassination.

close to calling for an assassination

i'd say it really can't be interpreted as anything else but "who will rid me of this meddlesome ______"

Yep. It takes way more money than I have right now to leave. I did move less than an hour from the Canadian border though. Best I could manage.

Whatever the outcome of this presidential reign of stupid. The American system needs to fundamentally change from the ground up.

Trump is about half way to making America sink lower then North Korea on the world stage.

He's also very hot. Very very good looking guy.

Ha, "he looks terrible" is what stood out most to me. It shouldn't matter either way, but that dude is GQ-cover-page handsome. I can only surmise from Trump's comment that he's shitting his pants with envy
