Say what now? It’s not even Trump season, and I’m still reading stuff that is so absurd it should be a joke. During Covid times, it was common to read the weirdest things and think: “yeah, that might as well happen”. This time though, I really have to ask if that really did happen.

You do have to look at the merch tables with a grain of salt though, as many of them know Trump is in a dementia spiral and losing his marbles. They also know that his rally goers will buy just about anything and are more than happy to pretend for their $$$.

If that feel-bad-for-people part of me didn’t work on overdrive I’d be out there with tables and sites full of merch pandering to these braindead (brainwashed?) morons

What’s wrong with picking any of the younger candidates? I imagine it’s a pretty demanding job, so being 30 years younger wouldn’t hurt.

Yep. That’s about the same level of amazing that I used to bump into on a daily basis. So, are we about to have another season of “you never imagined this would happen, but here we are”.

I thought the same thing. I guess we live in a society?

😂 OK, that may as well happen. What’s next? Evil magic zombies wouldn’t surprise me.
