A Republic, If You Can Keep It

It appears that the far right has eaten shit in the Romanian elections, where they looked poised for power about a month ago. The turnout surged and this appears to have overwhelmed the right wing extremist vote.

So the US still is a beacon for the world. Not by the light of leadership, but by the light of the raging dumpster fire we have become.

Trump’s boyfriend put a lot of effort into it too.

I think it’s more “daddy” than “boyfriend”

Man, I read a thing in TFNYT the other day that all but guaranteed a right wing landslide.

There is less than zero percent change he wrote this himself.

If you watch, the video, yeah… he said this and meant it.

I wish Biden a full and speedy recovery. I find it curious that the cancer has progressed so rapidly. Normally with regular physicals and PSA tests, prostate cancer can be caught and treated early on. It’s typically a 5 to 7 year process without treatment before it becomes metastatic. Not to sound too conspiratorial but it’s highly likely they’ve know about this for a while and chose to keep the public uninformed.

Well, if they knew about it earlier, wouldn’t they have started treatment earlier to prevent its spread.

That’s a good point. Then the question is what were they looking at when he was getting physicals and PSA blood tests? How did the doctors miss the markers? That seem close to malpractice. I mean, it’s just me wondering. He is entitled to his privacy.

My expert diagnosis is that “shit happens to old people”. Nothing curious about it.

Followed by a “cancer sucks.”

If you’re unlucky with prostate cancer, it can go from “enlarged prostate, we’ll manage it” to “it’s advanced too far for surgery to be an option” in a matter of months. That’s what happened with my father. For other folks it really is more like a chronic problem that you manage until something else gets you. And I’m not sure if if there’s a way to predict which way it will go.

I figured even that might make me sound too much like a google health expert.

I’m living proof of that. I’ll inform my doctor.

Don Jr. is the lowest form of life in the galaxy.

We all knew this was the shit that was going to happen.

There simply isn’t a conspiracy too fucked up for the MAGA cult to jack off to.

I hope Jake Tapper rots next to his unsold book on the shelves.

Fuck Tapper. He actually thinks his own validation matters now. He’s living proof of media dysfunction.

What’d he say?

He wrote an anonymously sourced book revealing that Biden is old and experiencing some sort of mental decline.
