Reupping this cause it’s evergreen and I feel better knowing someone out there called him out like this
A screenshot of an opinion by Oliver Kornetzke from August 18th, 2025. There’s a photo of a tired, bloated Donald trump over the opinion that reads: behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleeves of economy, man, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a clansman, the sexism of a back alley creep, and the greed of a hedge fund ghoul – all spray painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a country fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been – arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed, exalted as ambition, and corruption worship like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol, proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spike, it doesn’t just lose its soul – it shits out this bloated, obscenity, and calls it a leader.

How it feels watching the Rams play this season
A meme with the Los Angeles Rams blue and yellow L.A. wave logo (the L is blue and the wave is yellow coming off to the left of the A) with segments broken into "oh boy am I excited to watch my favorite team play" next to a longer segment of "i'm going to kill myself" next to a very small segment of "nice we won."

OK, at this point if you or someone you know is still on Twitter they are supporting this. There is no way around it. Twitter promotes CSAM. Start shaming them.

My cats have no fucking clue what’s going on and don’t have the ability to doomscroll. I envy them for that.

Anyways, happy #caturday

GOOD. They don't mention the antisemitic gesture (which Nacua did apologize for on Insgatram) but that's part of this. Proud of my team for not standing for his bullshit. Hopefully his dumb ass learns a lesson from this
Screenshot of a twitter post from Richard Johnson that states Rams are suspending Wide Receiver Puka Nacua for the first sereis in their matchup against the Seahawks tonight. Nacua reportedly showed up to the Rams facility "incredibly hungover" three times this week.

It never ceases to amaze or amuse me that Ro looks disgusted with me when I brush my teeth, as if this is an affront to her. (Cats hate the smell of mint, so perhaps it is an affront)

Ro is not pleased

I cannot catch a break. Now Riker wants lap time 😄

Ro has decided that the place she wants to nap is my lap while I am watching the Rams. This is dangerous. I’m gonna try to be calm but she risks being launched 😆
