I just received word that something I said made Urban Dictionary

The post:

"I invaded a country and ended up tanking the economy and imploding my own military. I am so genius and savvy."

"Wow, that test was a total disaster. I should have been less genius and savvy about it and studied more."

From Donald Trump describing Putin as "genius" and "savvy"

The entry:

"genius AND savvy":

Something that is neither genius NOR savvy.

"He tried to invade another country and it ended up tanking his economy and imploding his army. Such a genius AND savvy move, right?"

"Genius and savvy": A phrase used to describe something that is not "genius" nor "savvy"

"I invaded a country and ended up tanking the economy and imploding my own military. I am so genius and savvy."

"Wow, that test was a total disaster. I should have been less genius and savvy about it and studied more."

From Donald Trump describing Putin as "genius" and "savvy" for invading Ukraine.

Yes, you have a dog in this fight

I can say with a very strong certainty that if Trump wants the Republican nomination, then he's going to get the Republican nomination.

And as for the general election? OF COURSE I hope and expect Biden to win, but... as 2016 told us, never say never.

Hope, pray if you pray, that Ukraine exhausts Russia. That at the end of this war, Ukraine's government still stands. That Ukraine is still Ukraine and not Russia's backyard.

Because:
-Trump, the one who may as well be "the second son of God" according to right-wing Evangelicals
-Republicans like Lauren Witzke identifying with Putin "because he's the Christian"
-Steve Bannon calling Ukraine a "concept" like how Russia isn't
-Alt-Righters praising "Daddy Putin", the "Czar of the New Russian Empire", etc.
-Freepers saying Putin "isn't woke"

They NEED to be wrong, they HAVE to be wrong.

We need something to shove in their faces, to hand around their necks, to brand them with... And say "No. You don't have the backing of God. No. You aren't superior. And no. You aren't more savvy and smarter than everyone else."

What better way to shoot down their claims than if they backed the wrong horse in this race?

Do us a favor, and just get it over with Trump-conservatives, just be honest with us AND yourselves

* Confederate traitors and slave owners were misunderstood good guys
* Segregationists telling us "race-mixing is communism" were misunderstood good guys and any deviation from that violates the CRT ban
* Neo-nazis ramming their cars into protests are misunderstood good guys
* Putin is the misunderstood good guy
* The QAnon movement on the same site where child pornographers are and where mass shooters post their manifestos are misunderstood good guys


Yeah, yeah...

So, why NOT just skip ahead a couple of chapters and you tell us ISIS and Al Qaeda are misunderstood good guys?

It's time WE make a stand: Either the GOP disavows the Q-wing or they aren't legitimate

* Call them a violent organization
* Declare them a gang, it's weird how juggalos are a "gang", but they aren't
* Proud Boys, 3%ers, QAnon, "white genocide" crackpots... Not welcome in mainstream politics. If you can only say it on a messageboard and to *wink-wink-nudging* it to your fellow Republicans, then maybe think about what you are saying
* Putin's not the good guy in the current situation, there is no "but..." here
* Michael Flynn, pathological liar. Say it.

If they can't do these simple tasks, then it's clearly past time for the governed to withdraw consent.
