I think that it's about 50 or so days till the election. I'm not even American and it's so goddamned exhausting.

Good news. Its not going to be over on election day. After that we get something like 70 more days until innaguration where god knows what will happen. Time to strap in
Time to strap in
Time to stock up on 1:1 CBD:THC edibles and renew the xanax prescription. Otherwise, my liver will never survive the next 4-5 months...
Immediately after that, we have the mid-term elections in two years!
Why the fuck do we even still have lame duck sessions after presidential elections anyway? I imagine any reason we initially had a delay between election and inauguration has been mitigated through technology. Maybe it doesn't need to happen immediately, but ~3 months is completely unnecessary.
There is supposed to be communication and coordination between the outgoing administration and incoming one. Since they don't know if they are going to be elected they can't really have the structure drawn up as it does depend on availability and such. Unfortunately one party does not like the whole communication and coordination thing going bothways and often stymies it.
It's also enshrined in the Constitution. It takes an ammendment to change.
In a few short weeks, we will remember this week fondly as a 'simpler time'.
Just imagine how exhausting it will be if the orange monster wins again.
That actually won't be exhausting, it'll just be the end.
Not for some of us.
I usually just go camping and ignore it all. Nothing that happens before like October 15th is that important.
Incredibly exhausting!
I didn’t know who this person was two weeks ago and I still don’t want to know. We can just all ignore her forever if we want.
Edit: to be clear, I said I don’t want to know who she is. Do not tell me who this person is. I don’t care if she’s challenging Nancy Reagan for the throat GOAT title. Not interested.
Remember like five years ago when some loudmouth idiot got banned from every ridesharing app for complaining on twitter that there weren't any white drivers in New York?
Pretty sure that was her.
Then she chained herself to twitter hq when they blocked her account. She only blocked one door, so her protest didn't work. Then she pissed herself, and the cops had to cut her free.
This explains how she can tolerate trump’s diaper smell.
Ignoring a boil can have dire consequences like where we find or selves now. Best to lance this now before it gets worse.
I was going to say Vance it but couldn't figure out how sucking all the air out if the room would be effective in treating a boil?...
He likes to stick his needle dick in squishy cushy things.
You have to know who your enemies are. You ignore her at your own peril. She's a fascist trump cultist who has been a joke for the past 10 years but she's currently sucking his dick so her position has been elevated. In any sane universe this hurts him more than it helps him, but we don't live in a sane universe.
Laura Loomer is a cheesy superhero name.
She's 31 years old.
Hate ages you.
lol wait what. No fucking way.
Edit: oh my fucking god she was born in 93 what the actual fuck happened to her in childhood such that she turned into this so quickly
holy fuck you mean she's younger than me? I call myself an old man all the time but I don't look quite as old as she does yet.
Same - I was floored. I thought she was like 50something at least if the was enthusiastically shagging Trump.
And then there's his smell. I've heard about how terrible he smells clothed, imagine it once the clothes come off.
Maybe during the rhinoplasty, she asked for those smelly bits to be snipped/disconnected? /S?
Holy shit I definitely thought she was late 40s, I can't believe she's younger than me
Yeah, and I think she's had plastic surgery to fit herself into that weird mold of Melania and Kim Guilfoyle, dark hair, wide cheekbones and squinty eyes covered in heavy eyeliner and mascara. She was actually kind of cute looking before that (though still ugly in her views).
Learned this yesterday.
Thoughts that came to mind:
- She is 100% not human
- EWWWW TRUMP IS FUCKING HER
- EWWWW SHES FUCKING TRUMP
- This election is a shit show for the GOP lol
'member when your dad/friends/strangers told you "don't put your dick in crazy"? (for those of us with)
there is way too much crazy in this scenario to even begin sorting it out. its literally a null in the universe. a divide by zero, if you will. shits so weird now we need an event horizon to hide this naked singularity.
Ooo storytime: See I had been told it. The problem was I was young and didn't know what crazy was.
I didn't recognize that having a father who wasnt home until after you went to bed, drank heavily, and didn't do much but listen to music and watch TV was a very bad thing. I also apparently didn't realize that "daddy issues" means "seeking a replacement father in someone significant and confusing my attachment with them and a parental figure."
Let this be a warning to all men: Never stick your dick in crazy.
- This election is a shit show for the GOP lol
- Trump is still polling at 47%
- The entire country is a shit show.
10 pounds of heavy duty makeup since you were 12 years old also ages you
Her plastic surgeon billed himself as "the pro-Trump plastic surgeon", which explains how she looks like she does. No lie, he later lost his NY medical license.
She looks like she's trying to take up the mantle of those French astrophysicist twins that swore up and down that they never had cosmetic surgery.
Wow they both died from covid
Gross... Think of the smell. You didn't think of the smell, you bitch!
I can only assume she has some kinks that make this a non issue. Or her ~~link~~ kink for power overrides her other senses.
She doesn't seem to fit his type though. She'd probably do better with junior.
I kinda assumed that one of the plastic surgeries "disabled" her sense of smell, so she doesn't notice. That's not the first nose that she's been on TV with.
I've worked at a palliative care/care home and I know the smell of Trump exactly.
Hot stale piss in a diaper
Oh hey look, we have the real world Firecracker!
“Donnie, it’s yo baby.”
“The media is full of shit. OK?” Loomer said
Given the stories about what Trump's staffers say about his BO, she knows shit. Up close and personal.
