I am so looking forward to the rest of the idiots in this fucking country feeling the big effect.

And there’s no way they won’t. It’s coming like a bag of bricks from the sky.

Either these guys are as stupid as they f****** seem or there is something even more nefarious about to come down the line. In either case we are screwed

Those idiots couldn't explain why the room smells after they farted. They have no idea what they are doing.

That's the thing that bothers me the most about US politics. Every 8th grader has to explain himself if he does a book report, has to show sources and everything. The president tho: tariffs good, immigrants bad. And people cheer them on. If they get questioned, it's either the most softball questions you have ever heard or the good old: i don't recall. Dude, you didn't recall the last 25 questions, you are not fit for the job.
