Man, the US is going to be such a fucking clown show for the next 4 years. Holy shit.
You think they’ll stop at four years? I wish I had your optimism, friend.
Bold of you to assume there will be free and fair elections in four years.
Bold to assume it's just 4 years before voters get another shot at unfucking all of this? 😉
😬😬😬😬
4 years? Good God, that is an incorrect timeline.
Depends on how long Big Mac Don lives. Republicans first got elected when the democratic party split into 3 different branches with 3 different presidential candidates. I could see something like that happening in the near future with the republicans.
It gives me flashbacks to his first term, many mooches ago.
He's going to play the Apprentice role again, in which he tries to increase tv ratings by randomly hiring and firing as many people as possible in every episode.
What's a mooche for you??? Just curious, there's a song called The Mooche.
It's the meme timeframe for employees under Trump. It's about 10 days, but really -3 days.
Trump hired Anthony Scarramucci (The Mooch) as White House Communications Director to start on August 2017.
As a good boi, he started the job right away on July 21, leaving his pregnant wife at the hospital.
Trump then hired John Kelly and John Kelly fired the Mooch on July 28.
If we're lucky, unfortunately this clown car was just purposely driven off a cliff willingly, because the rich have an insurance policy worth more than the idiot clowns they convinced to drive off the cliff.... problem is we're going to get totaled in the clown car, all of us reading this.
Don't worry, the rich people aren't in the car and will be safely flying overhead while we crash and burn.
