Just days ago people were saying Biden was doomed because Trump was dominant in polls. Now a majority of Americans are okay with him not even being on the ballot. I imagine that percentage might be inflated by the fact that it probably includes people who want a Democrat in the White House and people who want a Republican that’s not Trump to be in the White House. The Biden/Trump polls only reflect people who want Trump vs people who want Biden, and don’t account for people who want neither. ---

From his astonishingly complete compilation of reporting on Trump’s legendary stench, Seth Abramson quotes a first hand description of a Trump fart which still reverberates in my mind’s ear: > [During] his felonious early 2021 call > attempting to get Georgia Secretary of > State Brad Raffensperger to steal the 2020 > presidential vote in Georgia for him, the > angry then-president farted loudly on > multiple occasions.

What will voters do with this intelligence? This report unpacks that question. ---

Thanks for that, @Fear_Itself . Good article. I didn’t read it thoroughly, but I think I got the gist. And now, my inner 12-year-old is laughing like crazy at what is basically a series of fart jokes. ---

Good article. I didn’t read it thoroughly, but I think I got the gist. Apparently the only thing trumpers have to fear is funk itself. I predict trump will now overcompensate and start dousing himself with some sort of expensive cologne, to the point that the cologne fumes cause those within a few feet of him to pass out. ---

I’m imagining Trump’s aroma is as though a honey wagon crashed into an old casino in downtown Vegas. ---

> [@solost](#): > > I predict trump will now overcompensate and start dousing himself with some sort of expensive cologne, to the point that the cologne fumes cause those within a few feet of him to pass out. You are correct. I’ve known a couple of people who tried to mask their stench with cologne, and that made it worse somehow. It transitions from toxic to “everybody gags.” ---

From the article: > **Michael Cohen** , Trump’s longtime friend, fixer, attorney, and employee, has [insisted](https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1740495517946384434), apparently seriously, that Trump has been using an oddly performative story about a trans weightlifter as cover for evacuating his bowels into an adult diaper during public rallies. Trump taking a shit _on stage_ during a rally? Like, shitting his whole ass in front of a crowd while they cheer? Yeah, I could see it. Well, I should say God willing, I never will see it but I can imagine this to be true. ---

Well, I should say God willing, I never will see it but I can imagine this to be true. Well, apparently he blasts out loud farts whenever he feels the need, the importance of the meeting and the presence of dignitaries be damned. So, I could buy this. When he has to shit, why should he be inconvenienced by waiting even a few minutes? Don’t you know who he is? ---
