    Sometimes I ask myself, “How does he not see what he looks like?”

    And then I realize that he does see what he looks like, and he decides that this is better than what he looks like without makeup. Orange or a bloated corpse. I guess you choose orange.

    Trump just stopped all military aid to Ukraine.

    R****d just opened pandoras box, the likleyhood of NATO and Russia shooting at each other has now raised signifigantly with this decision.

    Turn off the electricity exports, America is a hostile entity.

          And mentally retarded replaced idiot, moron and imbecile as the medical term when they became insults. It has since been replaced by intellectually disabled for the same reason.

          It’s the euphemism treadmill, it never ends.
