God, what a fucking moron. It will never not be unbelievable that 77+ million Americans were dumb and shameful enough to vote for this ass clown.

Did you, @crampell.bsky.social, have you been? I like and respect you a lot, and I'm not trying to bust your balls, I honestly don't know. But so much of where we are right now is due to the unforgivable failure of the press to just ask these people over and over again why are you fucking lying??

long before he had the kind of power he has now. And I'm not one of these idiotic chodes that goes around constantly bashing the "mainstream media" without even having a clear idea of who or what that is or what I mean by it. This was more than just cowardice, but it was certainly a kind of 2/3
The Mean Lantern (@themeanlantern.bsky.social) reply parent
Dude, that's a huge part of how he won in the first place, back in 2016. Even how he won the Republican nomination back then. Where we are now is greatly due to a stunning failure on the part of virtually every interviewer and reporter who's ever got to ask him a question, and it goes back to 1/3

I just read his short story EPICAC for the first time since I read it in some comp through lit book in high school. Maybe that was before I knew who he was, or maybe I just didn't notice the author's name, but it stuck with me all these decades & I finally tracked down who wrote it. Brilliant man.

since he won the election. Literally. He's made 2 to 300 million off of his crypto scam alone. And his net worth has likely gone up by a couple billion at least since November, and the other scumbags in his family are doing about as well. It's best to know things before you speak up.

Muskrat's wealth has dropped dramatically in the last few months, no doubt, though we could quibble about whether or not he was ever actually in government service. But ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ assertion about Trump is so factually incorrect as to be ludicrous. Both he & his family have been making out like bandits 1
