HOLY SHIT. Only 17 years old, yet he destroys Republicans better than any adult could. Every second of this gives me hope.

This is Florida. Are you surprised?

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read: “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” -Nate White

🔥🔥🔥 Eminem destroys MAGA supporters and asks what in the hell middle-class white people have in common with a billionaire who never had to struggle. Eminem is SPOT on!

Hunter Biden isn’t on the Supreme Court. Hunter Biden doesn’t work in the White House. Hunter Biden isn’t an elected official. Hunter Biden isn’t a former president. Yet, there hasn’t been a day that goes by that we haven’t heard Republicans ranting and raving about Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is a private citizen. If he broke the law, put up or shut up. There’s not one Democratic voter that would get in the way if he actually did something wrong. In the meantime, Republican hypocrites need to get real about the rampant corruption and criminality on their OWN side. We have a Supreme Court Justice who’s life was bankrolled. We have a former president who is not only a business fraud and hid secret documents, but also likely a f*cking RAPIST. Enough with the bullshit.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: It’s OFFICIAL! Congressman Colin Allred, former lineman for the Tennessee Titans, has announced he’ll challenge Ted Cruz for Senate! There is one BIG reason Colin Allred is going to win: For Allred, this race is personal. Colin Allred was one of the House members stuck in the Capitol on January 6 as the violent mob descended. Not knowing if he’d make it out alive, he sent a text to his wife: “Whatever happens, I love you.” Later, he laid blamed on Ted Cruz for participating in an attempt to deny the election. Allred called the events of January 6 part of “a broader authoritarian movement across the world,” and vowed to protect democracy. Now he’s running for Senate. Before Congress Allred played football in the NFL. He then earned his law degree before working for the Obama Administration. Allred is no stranger to tough races. For a Democrat in the suburbs of Dallas is more than impressive. His shocking victory over popular Republican Pete Sessions shows he has what it takes to win. I think one thing is safe to say: Ted Cruz is f*cked.
