Correct. I was not aware of Sarah Cooper heretofore. Throughout the DJT so-called presidency I deliberately avoided hearing his voice. I don’t watch TV news at all. If he came on NPR while I was in the car, I’d turn off the radio for a couple of minutes. Except for the few seconds that I watched that video, I haven’t actually heard him speak for any length since he debated Hillary before the election \. How, you might wonder, did I know it was him? I’m not sure. Maybe because I immediately got a splitting headache, my teeth began to hurt, and the sky turned black? ---

She’s actually very funny and good at lip syncing TFG, but it’s hard to watch those videos now when you’re completely sick of seeing or hearing him. But I didn’t realize my post was dragging that video in. I was just livid at seeing the official GOP account tweet such a thing at this time. ---

Sarah Cooper and Randy Rainbow are to be credited with my sanity retention during the “so-called” administration. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Throughout the DJT so-called presidency I deliberately avoided hearing his voice. That was my trouble. I’d heard of Sarah Cooper a couple years ago and had watched a some videos. I could see where she was coming from with her expressions and gestures – like pointing to her rear end when he was talking about shining UV up there – but I found his voice so grating I couldn’t bear it and watching with the sound muted was kind of pointless. ---

> [@Superdude](#): > > I’ve seen some online forums (including the comments feature on the app iFunny) with tons of people advocating for Americans to copy the Canada situation. And advocating for all Americans to not file income taxes this year. And for everyone to go to their employers and tell them to stop taking federal taxes out their paychecks. Not to mention the online advocacy for harming one’s own health and the health of others by avoiding vaccines and masking during a pandemic… And of course ALL of those advocating that Americans do things that will harm the USA are actual Americans themselves. /s (As we know, that is not the case; the number of people in Albania and Cyprus and other parts of the world who earn their daily bread pretending to be Americans online must be substantial. Not that actually-American Trump fans aren’t participating in this ‘degrade and destroy America’ project, too, of course—they are.) ---

A few of the more interesting replies to that GQP “bathroom wall graffiti stuff” that caught my eye: “After lying to their base for years, the Republican Party has finally achieve herd stupidity.” “Every time the sewer backs up, another Republican crawls out.” (With picture of MTG.) “When you are encouraging America to invade Canada and hoping that Russia invades Ukraine, your political party is beyond repair – Meidas Touch” “Select all squares with legitimate political discourse. If there are none, click Skip”. (Picture of the Jan. 6 riot broken into a grid of little squares.) ---

Yeah, TR would probably have been a better choice then either Nixon or Coolidge (I had to stare at that one a minute to remember who it was). But it shows how weak their bench is, I think. They also skipped over Hoover, so I guess they are a little bit aware. ---
