Rest in Peace Lord Vader

Donald Trump has a real problem with the truth.

I was a Republican for 45 years. The fact that this mean-spirited, demented fool Trump is the nominee of the party for three straight election cycles is just unfathomable.

There's no spinning what happened tonight. He was emasculated for the world to see. His lies called out. His bullshit laid bare. She didn't let him wiggle out of his own words. He rapidly devolved into a stream of desperate, unhinged claims. Not only did she rebuff them,

Him: We are a failing, 3rd-World nation! We're headed for WWIII! They're killing babies after they're born! Haitian migrants are eating your pets! Couldn't think of anything he'd do differently on Jan 6th! #AngryDefensiveandWeird 🤬🤪 Her: Presidential 🇺🇸 #WeAreNOTGoingBack

1. Eating pets 2. J6 was perfectly fine 3. Tariffs are glurbleflurpmacuplop blingfloar. 4. The Central Park 5 Deserved It 5. Nuklear War 6. Killing the babies after they're born 7. Leader of the fertility 8. I won 2020 by a lot. Stellar job, Donbo. Stellar.

JP I always thought that the GOP was more anti-Russia than pro-Trump. I was wrong. MAGA is so far down the rabbit hole that they would justify a Russian invasion of the US if Trump told them it was okay.

THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS

Trump fact-checked by the German Government. Interesting for Australia, that they’re not building nuclear plants.

Today my thoughts are of Captain Alix Idrache, a US Army helicopter pilot, who graduated at the top of his West Point class with a degree in physics in 2016. He's also a Haitian immigrant.

"The foreigners come to our country and kill our animals"

It was so much worse than you remember

So, the source for Trump's ugly slur that the Haitians are eating cats and dogs has now come forward and said she got it wrong. We can no doubt expect Trump and Vance to apologise, and call on the Proud Boys and their thugs to go home.

100% of them are white. 100% of them are male. 100% of them had assault rifles. 100% of them are not Haitians. 100% of them are not immigrants. 100% of them are Republicans.

A reminder:

Which one of Elon's "jokes" this week was better? The one where he offers to knock up Taylor Swift? Or the one where he wonders why someone hasn't murdered the sitting Vice President of the United States? 🤔

He calls legal migrants ‘animals’. America was built by hardworking immigrants.

In case anyone still has questions why I refer to Trump as 'the loathsome piece of shit.' 😡😳👇
