There is no Russian city called Leningrad anymore, but apparently no one bothered to tell Donald Trump.

    During his campaign last year, Trump thought that Johnny Carson was still alive and available to take back the Tonight Show.

    Not a peep from the media or even Lemmy. It was, “Biden senile.”

      He thinks Hannibal Lecter is real, dead, and a fan of his. He’s obviously fictional, neither the character in any media he’s been portrayed in or any of the actors who portrayed him have died, and the character’s second most well known trait (you know, after the whole cannibal thing) is his absolute disdain for rude, vulgar people, and none of the actors have displayed a fondness for Donald either. His closing message before the election was about how much he loved deceased golfer Arnold Palmer’s apparently enormous dick.

        He kept bringing up Hannibal Lector because he doesnt know the difference between an insane asylum and political asylum.

        His campaign really fell apart there near the end. It was way worse than pretty much everyone realizes. He would just abruptly quit ranting and start dancing to the same song repeatedly.

            Which makes me constantly switch between wonder if the voting was really legit, and how dumb this electorate is. Both are depressing and make me want to flee the US.

              I don’t doubt that there was some shenanigans, but the defeat was so total and immediate in all the battleground states I question whether they could have rigged it THAT well. I was expecting a months-long slugfest.

                Oh they “rigged” it, but they did it very openly. Elon Musk went to all the key states and bribed voters with his checks and his lottery and it was all ruled completely legal because technically anyone could sign up even though it was very obviously set up to pay off people to vote for Trump.
