45 was the second dumbest holder of public office after Caligula's horse.

47 knocks the horse off the top spot.

It doesn't matter how plain the English is if the guy can't read.

That's not what it looks like from outside the US. Looks like Trump and anyone who supports him has a free pass. The guy is long overdue impeachment.

I mean, only last year the British electorate rejected overt racism coupled with economic incompetence. How is it we are now longing for overt fascism and economic illiteracy?

Trump-supporting parties currently polling around 50 percent, with the genuine fascists on 35%. The media is not doing its job. People in the UK are going for it bigly.

Incredible to think that all Hitler needed to do to win WWII was to rebrand from Nazi to Patriot.

That *two* parties seeking power in the UK openly claim Trump's white supremacist fascism as inspiration is ... disconcerting. That the media fails to call it out is criminal.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

In fairness, they're not the only ones enjoying their current absurdity.

I remember Ariel Sharon saying, decades ago, that to oppose Israel's policies was to be antisemitic. I forget what he was attempting to justify at the time but my money's on "something resulting in the deaths of Palestinians."

First they came for the journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I didn't know.
