    No one cares about Trump’s threats because he is a fuckin dope. We all know the only threat posed is stochastic terrorism from his indoctrinated followers.

    If we didn’t have first past the post and the electoral college we could all safely be laughing at how fucking moronic that dude is.

    Instead, we have to have a slim chance he gets a second term of fucking the country up.

    It’s fucking embarrassing as a “world power.” No one should trust us because our electoral system is this fucking dumb.

      But the media reporting on them keeps him in the publics mind. It should be a small print thing on the second page or 20 seconds of every news segment called “Trump Lies again” don’t show his face, quickly detail the lie and then move on.

    Last Friday, Trump shared an image of President Biden bound and gag, hog-tied, in the back of a pickup truck.

    This is inaccurate. It was a custom tailgate of a truck, with a bad photoshop that made it look like Biden was bound and gagged. I’ve seen one around my neck of the woods so I know it’s something you can buy, but I’m not going to link to it.

    But my mom bought a Trump toilet brush. It’s fun to use. If Biden showed a clip of I filmed of me using it, is that “OMG BIDEN WANTS TRUMP DROWNED IN A TOILET?”

    This shit is what I hate about political reporting.
