    I just hope Trump is dead by 2026.

    There could always be some other MAGA asshole to fill the void, but the dissolution of Trump’s cult of personality would be a crippling blow.

      There’s always an asshole. Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump. And our electoral system and goldfish-memory population will continually put them into power.

        Newt, Mitch and the others only have their local GOP cult, they don’t have the national cult that the orange turd does.

          Okay, Rush, Hannity, and Alex Jones & The Turds.

          There will always be an asshole. That’s the entire reason we even have government in the first place.

            It’s the money, not the assholes.

            Peter Theil, Leonard Leo and Citizans United need to be stopped. The mega churches would be my next concern, since they breed the moron class that elects the assholes.

            But money in politics is still the problem, and media will be superfucked if we remove it, so they won’t talk about it.
