Many of You Owe Hillary an Apology

He never belonged here.

He was never emotionally, intellectually, or moral deserving of the presidency.

And for whatever reason, you chose incorrectly.

More than that, you refuse to admit that.

Hillary Clinton isn't perfect, but here's what I know:

    • She wouldn't have engaged in middle of the night, all-caps social media rants.
    • She wouldn't have called Nazis and racists "fine people."
    • She wouldn't have played patty-cake with Vladimir Putin.
    • She wouldn't have publicly praised Kim Jong Um.
    • She wouldn't have emboldened racists to march through streets in the light of day.
    • She wouldn't have coddled the NRA in the wake of unrelenting mass shootings.
    • She wouldn't have tripped over herself for praise and credit and affirmation like some insecure middle schooler.
    • She wouldn't still be holding rallies in a desperate attempt to gather a choir of sycophants to shower her with adulation.
    • She wouldn't have attacked the integrity of the Free Press, the FBI, or the Judiciary.
    • She wouldn't have stumbled, shoved, and faked away moments of international diplomacy because she lacked basic knowledge of the issues or the ability to be decent.
    • She wouldn't have had a revolving door Cabinet filled with white supremacists, creationists, and flat-earthers.
    • She wouldn't have lied repeatedly, ignored science, and turned wearing masks into a tribal political statement.

AMEN!

I am so sick of him. I am sick of the sound of his voice, his whining, his grifting, his mere existence. I just want him to disappear and return to the pits of hell from which he came.

Masterful Trolling

Social media users cheered as Democratic President Joe Biden masterfully trolled former Republican President Donald Trump's big "announcement" with a few announcements of his own.

Earlier, Trump announced he'd launched a new line of collectible digital trading cards priced at $99 each that feature images of him depicted as a muscular superhero with laser beams shooting from his eyes.

President Biden, not to be outdone, decided to post some "announcements" too, though these were of significantly more importance than the former President's foray into the NFT—or nonfungible token—market.

He noted via his official Twitter account that inflation has eased, that he just signed the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA), which requires the United States federal government and all U.S. states and territories to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States.

He also pointed out that his administration had just recently secured the release of basketball player Brittney Griner from a Russian penal colony, that gas prices "are lower than a year ago," and that the state of Arizona is now seeing 10,000 "new high-paying jobs."

The replies were epic.

Trump had posted on his troubled social media platform Truth Social that he would be making a "major announcement" without providing any details.

Some had speculated that his announcement would be related to the Speaker race currently dividing Republicans in the House of Representatives, where a faction of right-wing extremists has refused to support House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's bid for the Speaker position once Republicans regain control of the House in January.

The cards were the subject of considerable ridicule online, including from Republicans who'd criticized Trump's rather inactive 2024 presidential campaign.

As of Friday morning, Trump was claiming the collection of trading cards had already "Sold Out."

Uh-huh.

As the great Ann Richards would say, "Stick a fork in him. He's done."

Quote of the Day

If your own grandfather started rambling to a roomful of strangers about how he's not into golden showers, at the very least you would quietly confiscate his car keys." ~ Jeff Tiedrich

From Mediaite:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee held a retreat in Palm Springs, Florida on Thursday where Donald Trump apparently tried again to put an old rumor to rest.

"It was all phony shit, ok," Trump said, calling the investigation of his potential ties to Russia "phony stuff."

At one point, apropos of nothing, Trump recalled the unproven rumor against him stating that he likes being peed on for sexual pleasure. The claim appeared in the infamous Steele dossier.

"I'm not into golden showers," he told the crowd. "You know the great thing, our great First Lady — 'That one,' she said, 'I don't believe that one.'"
