The Venezuelan president is the new Saddam Hussein.
Fentanyl is the new WMD.
And Trump is the new Bush, but less intelligent and with weaker eyelids.

All the alleged pipe bomber from January 6 has to say is that he thought the election was stolen from Trump, and all his problems will go away, even while Pam Bondi says, "No one is above the law."

Trump falling asleep during the cabinet meeting today was the response by MAGA online; they came back with posting a photo of Biden napping on the beach. It says so much about MAGA that they think someone napping on the beach is the same as someone napping in a cabinet meeting discussing war crimes.

Fiction: Trump can close airspace above Venezuela.
Fact: The president of the United States has no power to close airspace above another sovereign country.
Good news for Trump: MAGA have walnuts for brains.

So good to see Tucker Carlson talking about going back to Russia to do another propaganda show. I never felt satisfied with his last take on Russian shopping trolleys. Yes, he showed us the wheels lock on the escalators & that they “radicalized” him, but how do they perform off the escalator?

Whatever the release of the Epstein files revealed, it doesn't change the fact that Trump moved Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, into a cushy prison with no walls and cute puppies to pet.

One of my favorite parts of the MAGA civil war is hearing some of the MAGA supporters saying, "This infighting has to stop; you are starting to make us look crazy."
"Starting"? Oh dear, that is adorable.

Trump just posted a rant about how he no longer supports MTG and the lists his “achievements.”:
"…being RESPECTED by every country in the world (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!)…"
As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

Ben Shapiro is calling out Republicans in Congress for supporting the release of the Epstein files; Shapiro is complaining they want to destroy Trump.
I have never heard someone unintentionally incriminate the person he was trying to save like Shapiro just did.

At this stage the only people who believe Trump isn't in the Epstein files and that it's a "Democrats hoax" are the same people who voted for him based on releasing the Epstein files to "expose all the Democrats as pedophiles."

The same president who excused giving billions of dollars to Argentina because, in his words, "they are fighting for their lives."

The presidential candidate from 2024 who won the majority of working-class voters is desperately trying to stop poor people from getting food stamps. While the party that lost is trying to help the American citizens that didn't vote for them to keep their food stamp aid.

George Santos has posted that he is now leaving NY because it will not be safe anymore after Zohran won.
Just to recap, a convicted criminal is leaving NY because he is worried about crime going up. No one has encapsulated the comical absurdity and hypocrisy of the MAGA movement like Santos.
