Apparently, I love the sound of crickets chirping. That’s what I get when I ask them for verifiable evidence of their assertion that the Democrats would be worse than Tan the Conman. ---

Trump’s already given us a plague, rioting in the streets, a dying economy, made global warming worst, and allowed the Russians to put kill American soldiers. What’s Biden going to do that could make things worse? Release Godzilla? ---

Trump’s already given us a plague, rioting in the streets, a dying economy, made global warming worst, and allowed the Russians to put kill American soldiers. There’s a word game some of my friends and I liked to play when we used to be able to get together. The game is called _Backronyms_. You take a regular word, pretend it’s actually an acronym, and create the funniest meaning for that acronym you can think of. The group votes on who has the best backronym for the selected word. Under this jerk in the White House now, I have decided that _COCKUP_ is an acronym, but my definition isn’t funny; it’s just too true: _C_lusterfuck _O_f _C_orruption _K_eeps _U_nleashing _C_rap ---

He, along with his enablers, er, supporters, does not see it as hypocrisy. After all, he thinks that absentee voting and mail-in voting are two different critters. Why, yes, they are morons. > [@running\_coach](#): > > I doubt any of the Trump women cast their own ballot. They probably believe that now that he’s pardoned Susan B. Anthony, they now have a right to vote all of a sudden. ---
