White House? It’s downright depraved. Are there no Republicans left with respect for the constitution or the rule of law? Is he going to wave the confederate flag at Gettysburg? How are we going to survive as a country the next three months

The numbers will start coming in on what a cluster-fork of infection that town is by the time he is ready for his "acceptance" speech. Since most of those helmet-less mask-less bikers voted for His Majesty, they will like being reminded of the cost for their "Free-Dumb".

Though, on second thought... spewing his pathological, delusional, hubris diseased, bullshit, psycho lies in front of the spirits of thousands of braver men from a multitude of states who perished while fighting for an actual cause might make them furious enough to haunt his murdering, skanky ass.
He has the opportunity to offend EVERY spirit.
That’s a lot of nightmares, Cretin.

Ah well, it is what it is. Right?

Either way, still the worst.

Any way you slice it, still the worst.
