67. There is no shark for conservatives

Mon Apr 12, 2021, 04:55 PM

Apr 2021

By any objective measure, Trump jumped the shark back in 2012 when Obama showed him to be an utter fool over his birth certificate buffoonery.

For conservatives, there is no bottom to the well of failure, no point when the incompetent buffoonery makes you ineligible to have the nuclear codes. As long as you "own teh libs", conservatives will shove their money into your hands and vote for you.
