Ebenezer scrooge at least was an extremely private individual who had no relationships outside of the few stuff he needed for his business(es) which were very local in scale. All we know is he was a moneylender of some sorts and had a warehouse full of grain that he was profiteering from, but that's it.
Trump makes him look like a boring chump.
Indict Congress for not invoking the 25A cause the president is fucking out of his mind.
Then just impeach. The 25th is a higher bar, and he's arguably not incapable in the sense that the 25th was intended to handle. But there is no doubt about the high crimes and misdemeanors.
Only president impeached and allowed to run for another term.
Someone gave him a Christmas stimulant. Big mistake.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Who the fuck let Sigmund Freud into the Christmas party?
When he dies the celebration is going to be worldwide. I mean historically remembered as one of the greatest days ever.
His tombstone will be the best unisex bathroom in the world.
It'll probably hurt his ego if Putin's demise is more celebrated than his.
I think it will be more of an oof moment, thanks for that, now let's move on.
I'm all for a trump celebration say where we celebrate the death of the most narcissistic pedophile dictator ever, and all leaders like him

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Every attack a revelation of insecurity.
Every praise an area of weakness.
Every accusation an admission.
“When you see the state of Somalia, that’s what they want for America,” Miller claimed in a video reshared by Trump. “Because it’s easier to rule over an empire of ashes than it is for the Democratic Party to rule over a functioning, Western, high-trust society with a strong middle class."
Exactly as you said. Every accusation is an admission.
I hope Shitgibbon has a miserable holiday. Stumbling the halls at Mar-a-Lardo, watching Hannity reruns and shouting at the screen.
His family hates him.
No real friends.
No music.
No enjoyment of food.
Not even a dog.
Crappy Holidays, you child murdering piece of shit.
Can someone roll him into a home already?

Just driving home the fact that the President of the United States is a deranged lunatic with the emotional development of a toddler and an ego that's so grossly inflated ¡that it's stretched as thin and fragile as tissue.

I kinda just wish he’d won 2020 at this point. He wouldn’t have had 4 years to regroup with the project 2025 fascists, and we’d be done with him now.
We'd also be done with him if he'd been prosecuted for the crimes. Even though they were fairly minor, like trying to usurp the will of the people and overthrow democracy, it would have done the trick.
He was prosecuted and convicted, just never actually sentenced.
If you mean the 34 felonies, that judge effectively said his punishment would be nothing. Which is very fun by the way - when has a non rich person gotten to shrug off dozens of felony convictions? He was never charged, as far as I'm aware, in connection to the coup attempt.
Impeachments without a result are also convictions without consequences. If anything they showed him he could do whatever he wanted, so he has.

There were so many other possibilities to stop his return. Most of them would be better than him ever having a second term.

He can't even just say Merry Christmas like a normal person.
Explain the Somali hate to me. It's already come up at family gatherings this holiday, and I can say with 100% certainty there aren't any Somali immigrants within 200 miles of this community.
Ilhan Omar is Somali born. She is critical of him, ergo he wants to remove all Somalis from the country. It's just hate all the way down.
I expected nothing less yet I'm still disappointed
They're black, from another country, so he can kick them out. If he could figure out how to kick out African-AMERICANS, he'd do it tomorrow.
I am just speculating. Like Sudan, it will be about the red sea shipping lanes, among other things.

Voter fraud... Like in the election we just had, that he claimed to have won?
So I guess I agree with him on that one issue

You're a mean one, mr. grinch
He's got to pump it out over holidays, because it's one of the few days right/left still mix.
The last thing the wealthy want is people sitting down at a table and realizing the shit we fight over isn't as important as what the wealthy are doing to all of us.
It's just a distraction to keep us from uniting against them.
So trump wants his voters riled up and angry so no discussions can happen.
