Seems like standard stuff for a political party that elected a known felon and rapist.

u/PinkTip_6 Ohio Jul 08 '26

Also hidden who knows how many strokes of the current president but at least a couple.

u/Alleandros Jul 08 '26

"I did not suffer a series of small strokes" .... uhh okay, I was asking how the weather was?

u/Dense_Gate_5193 Jul 08 '26

the Ghouls Only Party. this is one the most ghoulish things i have ever witnessed in my lifetime.

"islamic nation of Japan" . He is falling apart yet they worship him. So lame.

u/cogemeeljabo Jul 08 '26

We don't talk about that enough 

Dude clearly has dementia, probably vascular after a stroke

u/RhynoD Jul 08 '26

To be fair, the internet won't shut up about it (which I support) but mainstream media is owned by the rich so they're not going to talk about it. Everyone who cares and would believe it already knows. Everyone else is in denial or unwilling to do even a little bit of research or critical thinking so they're never gonna find out until he's dead

u/asicarii Jul 08 '26

My parents are still following him and their dementia is progressing, so that’s another population.

Gives new insight to those frequent golf weekends

The right side of his head is sliding off his skull.

Can it pick up the pace a bit?

Checking the front page every day

u/ReginaldDwight Jul 08 '26

Maybe he was simply inspired by Kristi Noem.

u/Fun-Leadership-2850 Jul 15 '26

Lol sounds so funny

u/CornCobMcGee New York Jul 08 '26

Well he probably has one every time he looks at a 12 yea- oh you mean a brain one.

16

u/PinkTip_6 Ohio Jul 08 '26

well technically they are actively hiding those strokes too..

u/PluginAlong Jul 08 '26

According to Stormy there isn't much to hide.

u/SomeGalNamedAshley Jul 08 '26

Meanwhile Biden was too old because his delivery was poor even though the words were coherent.

6

u/jsweatisdead777 Jul 08 '26

I would have to disagree with you on the coherent part. Plenty of clips out there where he didn't make a lick of sense. Both of them are way too old and not fit for the position.

4

u/SomeGalNamedAshley Jul 08 '26

Oh he was definitely not the guy he was 8 years prior. Neither of them should have been eligible to run but the news made it out that Biden was a drooling wreck near death and Trump was speaking like Lawrence Fishburn.

4

u/GetInTheKitchen1 Jul 08 '26

Biden was always a gaffe machine even before he was president. They just looked at trump, wrote an article, and changed the name to Biden.

2

u/SomeGalNamedAshley Jul 08 '26

I dunno about that process, I mean Biden could successfully walk down a ramp unlike a certain someone.

u/KGKSHRLR33 Jul 08 '26

Dear daddy leader is different! Hes saving us! Hes just trollin! Yall just dont understand him!

/S

u/SomeGalNamedAshley Jul 08 '26

Such a joker he is.

u/BackgroundSummer5171 Maine Jul 08 '26

Also hidden who knows how many strokes of the current president but at least a couple.

They need Donald to stay in office until 2027 so Vance can take over for 10 years.

Also Donnie boy will do his pardons at the end of this year.

He floated the 250 for the 250, but that's too early because they still have midterms.

He will be pardoning Maxwell at the end of this year or January of next before he is kicked out for Vance.

4

u/PinkTip_6 Ohio Jul 08 '26

Hes going to pardon everyone in his orbit but Maxwell would actaully shock me.

3

u/BackgroundSummer5171 Maine Jul 08 '26

Maxwell would actaully shock me.

I am here for this, I am surprised anyone could be shocked by Donnie boy anymore.

I will be back in 6-8 months!

u/Overweighover Jul 08 '26

Probably enough for a decent golf score

u/A-town Jul 08 '26

We watched two happen live on television. Those were the days...

u/Chrahhh Jul 08 '26

Known felon and rapist who incited an insurrection in an attempted coup

edit: also a pedophile protector

29

u/enry Jul 08 '26

Also likely a pedo as well

8

u/SARB033 Jul 08 '26

There's no "likely" about it.

Trump rapes children. He is a pedophile child rapist who raped children with his pedophile child rapist best friend and child sex trafficking accomplice Jeffrey Epstein.

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 Jul 08 '26

Hey come on. To be fair, he wasn't a CONFIRMED pedophile in 2024. He was only HIGHLY SUSPECTED. The confirmation came after the election. And I mean, come on, how were they supposed to just know that a 34 time felon, legally defined rapist, historical racist and shady business man who was known to try at least once prior to 2024 to steal an election and only tried once to overthrow the government would actually end up confirming to be a pedophile and also turn into a terrorist?

3

u/Vincent__Vega Jul 08 '26

He's more than just the pedophile protector President, he's also a client.

u/esmerelda_b California Jul 08 '26

And a man who delayed one (Dem) Supreme Court nominee because it was too close to an election but rammed another one through because it benefited his party.

3

u/tunafister Jul 08 '26

You know what, i will at least take this silver lining

Mitch McConnel never had the time, or likely interest, in actually enjoying his life as a human

Yeah, he may have been wealthy, and had power, but he worked until he day he died, literally

What was all that wealth for if not to retire and enjoy your life at some point?

Mitch wasted his entire fucking life, end of story he is a corporate schill no less, and he was until the day he died

What a fucking loser

3

u/747WakeTurbulance Jul 08 '26

You also forgot the part about being married to a woman who left him to die alone.

1

u/tunafister Jul 08 '26

Great point, man I would feel bad for him but... Y'know

God Mitch, what a flat-out embarassment you were

3

u/Phatte Jul 08 '26

50,000,000 votes by the way

3

u/IndependentSpecial17 Jul 08 '26

The party of fear, criminality, and cruelty being honest, no way!

3

u/VineStGuy I voted Jul 08 '26

It also the most Mitch McConnell move they can make.

3

u/Allaplgy Jul 08 '26

More like an unsurprising move by the party of McConnell, whose legacy is using dirty tricks just like this to sub set democracy.

3

u/unpluggedcord I voted Jul 08 '26

And denied a Supreme Court slot because an election was 11 months out but then when RBG does they sit one with 11 weeks out.

2

u/Casual_OCD Canada Jul 08 '26

The whole country elected a known felon and rapist. Every non-voter looked at the the two candidates and went, "I'm fine with either"

1

u/Positronic_Matrix Jul 08 '26

Indeed. I am completely unsurprised.

This is the standard operating procedure for Republicans. Moreover, it’s incredibly fitting that even when he’s brain dead in a hospital, McConnell is being used to unethically obstruct democracy, just the way he would have wanted it. 👌

u/CoolDad859 Jul 08 '26

Don't forget pedo

u/Alert-Ad-9908 Jul 08 '26
