> [@kambuckta](#): > > But it is all so over the top, strains my credulity ligament to within a mm of snapping that I wonder (pray) that one day in the near future, Trump and his immediate turd-heap of acolytes are going to come out on stage with a big “GOTCHA!! You lot got sucked in a bewdy. You libtards are so stupid to think we would ever consider doing all those things we said we would. It was a joke, son, just a joke. And you lot fell for it, hook, line and sinker”. Two things. First, what is a bewdy? Second I had a weird thought last night: assume that Trump isn’t able to enact all of the 2025 policies that he wants-he drops dead, or something. The alarm bell has been so loudly (and correctly) rung that if any of it doesn’t happen and the next four years are chaotic but not cataclysmic, when we he next proto-Trump arises, no one will believe it and will accuse the left of crying wolf-much the same way people have done with Trump 1 vs. Trump 2: The Search For More Money. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > RFK Jr wants prospective HHS staff to fill out a questionnaire which asks, among other things, whether you have psychic powers, how highly you would rate your attractiveness, and how open you are to “sexual experiences with another person”. Unbelievable. What an el creepo.

@Love_Rhombus, ‘gotcha a bewdy’ is I guess an Australianism, mainly found in use amongst adolescents who play a prank upon an unsuspecting friend. Generally harmless, but at the same time, extremely annoying to the victim of said prank. Literally translated, “I managed to play a trick on you, and you fell for it, and it was beautiful to watch”. ---
