      You need some covfefe, because you forgot the most important one:

      • attempted dismantlement of the post-ww2 world order at the explicit cost of America and her western allies (broadly construed to include Japan, Australia, Korea, NZ, etc.), for the explicit benefit of Russian hegemony under Putin, with the knock-on effect of empowering most significantly our greatest geopolitical rival, China, which hopes to promulgate its fascist hellscape throughout Asia.

        And how about packing the courts with right wing nutjobs? Roe vs Wade’s demise is far from the only consequence there

          That happened under Biden. Sure, it’s a direct consequence of Trump’s presidency…but this sort of causal reasoning may well be too advanced for the folks parroting this inane content to comprehend.

          Edit: what I was trying to say (apparently unsuccessfully…) was that the kind of person who thinks nothing bad happened under Trump probably won’t acknowledge that Roe vs. Wade being overturned was a direct consequence of Trump. Which is stupid — in addition to the “acute” damage that Trump did, the ongoing damage being done from his judicial appointments is arguably the most damage that he has (and will continue to) do.

              I’m saying that the folks saying “nothing bad happened under Trump” may be a few fries short of a happy meal.

                I have seen dimwits literally try to claim Dems are responsible for Dobbs because of timing. Perhaps they are the reason why people are reacting strongly to what you wrote.

                  I see them blaming the Democrats for what they did. Overturn Roe vs Wade? Dems fault for the letting them do it. The mental gymnastics they do along with having the goal posts mounted to a Bugatti is amazing.

                    They’re just making up bullshit

                    They don’t actually believe that Dobbs was the Democrats’ fault, any more than the Republicans actually believe that Trump was a genius at international politics who got the best of China and fixed the Iran deal. They’re just making noise with their mouth, like the kid who always wants to argue about the rules and everything always needs to turn out his way and every call is in his favor or he’ll make a big stink about it.

                  Yeah I edited comment for clarity…not sure if I just poorly worded it, if I stuck a nerve (seems unlikely?), or if sarcasm just doesn’t go over a series of tubes very gracefully 🤷

                Man, you chose a poor way to word the entire comment if thats what you’re suggesting. The entire thing made it sound like you’re saying it’s Bidens fault. I can’t read your comment and come to ANY other comclusion.

                You should probably edit it, and reword the entire thing. Of coarse then I’LL look insane, but thats ok. Someone will just say “username is relevant”. And probably downvote me.

                But I like to think of the people who downvote me as the kind of people who jerk off onto pancakes, cry onto them for hours, and then eats cold soggy pancakes.

          It literally is. When I used argue with them about Donald intentionally destabilizing the US so China could gain influence they would drop everything and write long-ass comments praising the idea.

          I guess they love the economic system of “state capitalism with generating hundreds of billionaire characteristics.” They’ll certainly excuse any amount of Uyghur genocide for it.

      They decided to separate the children with full knowledge that they did not have the resources to track them. They straight up lost children. How many of those missing children were trafficked?

      The absolute nerve that the Qanons were ever screeching about pedophile rings. Their guy is the pedophile ring.

      Ivermectin

      Seeing my old college professor suggest that shit was wild. I remember telling the school his ass needed a sabbatical. They later ended up paying him a large settlement after students chased him off campus with baseball bats.

        With all the bullshit trump did it’s hard to keep up with it all. I must have missed this one. What was Ivermectin?

          Ivermectin is an anti-parasite drug used in treating heartworm. It was one of the early conspiracy cures for covid, despite the fact viruses are notoriously different from parasitic roundworm. There was also a constrained supply of the drug used for human treatments, so the qanon types were buying the version of the treatment meant or horses.

              Vaccines will make your testicles grow spikes and drop off, like chestnuts. Haven’t you heard? Apple-flavored horse paste is not only good for you, it also tastes just swell!

        Thomas is brazenly and nakedly corrupt. Alito is more of a seditious traitor. Barrett is a theocrat. Boofer owed tens of thousands that someone paid off.
