> [@Smapti](#): > > Trump’s response to Biden dropping out: WAAAAAAAAAH THEY TRICKED ME SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY If the GQP weren’t aware of / prepared for the possibility of a Harris candidacy — especially given how persistently they’ve been beating the “Sleepy Joe isn’t fit to be dogcatcher, let alone President!!!” drum of late — they deserve to lose. (Well, they deserve to lose anyway. Bigly. But hopefully you get my drift.) ---

I’m debating making a thread for self-defeating right wing Twitter posts. But, until I do, here’s one that caught my eye: > > **Click if you can't read the above** > > @david\_r\_morgan: > > > “The Nazis burned books and burned down buildings” > > > > Yeah, they did. They burnt books promoting LGBT and burnt down the world’s first transgender clinic. > > > > Did the good guys really win WW2?

Let’s see if I have this straight: Trump insists that Biden must resign immediately, while Mike Johnson insists that Biden must remain on the ballot no matter what. And according to the MSM\*, the _Democrats_ are in disarray? \* I trust the MSM about as much as the average MAGAss, but for a different reason: they think it’s in thrall to the Deep State, while I think it’s in thrall to the Deep (as in Bottom) Line. ---

A massive stroke, where trump loses the ability to speak clearly and form sentences, and becomes incontinent. OK, even more than now. And the GOP will be scrambling like chickens with their heads cut of in a room full of rocking chairs trying to keep trump on the ticket. I’d love to see the GOP say “being a drooling brain-damaged invalid is not a bar to keep from being president.” With a straight face. ---

I’ll give him credit for that much - it’s already confusing some people, even reasonably intelligent people, that Biden’s still in charge until January. I can’t imagine what kind of mental vapor lock it causes somebody whose brain never worked all that well even in the best of times. ---
