I swear this looks like #TFG has dementia.
Does he think that he is on the ballot? Or does he believe that this is an explicit referendum on joining the US, and a vote for #PeePee is a Yes vote? Either way, the cognitive processing you'd want in a US president isn't there.
Polievre sure hopes we don't connect him with the man Trump is talking about. Hey #Carleton1 It's not too late to vote no.
<Borrowed from an anonymous commenter online>
Real men — true men — are defined by five simple traits:
Accountability (taking responsibility for actions)
Emotional regulation (handling emotions with maturity)
Empathy (caring for others beyond themselves)
Integrity (honoring truth over convenience)
Self-discipline (choosing principle over impulse)
Sadly, MAGA culture displays the opposite at every turn.
Blaming everyone else for your failures is not accountability.
Throwing public tantrums is not emotional strength.
Cruelty toward others is not courage.
Lying to yourself and others is not integrity.
Acting on rage and grievance is not discipline.
It's not manhood. It's arrested development — adults trapped in a child's mindset, demanding the world stay small enough for their ego.
No amount of slogans, hats, or anger can make up for the simple truth:
Real strength means growing up — and they never did.
#TFG's capacity for critical thought is staggering... https://phpc.social/@Crell/114406613850846147

Today's word:
pecksniff
PRONUNCIATION:
(PEK-snif)
MEANING:
noun: A hypocritical person who pretends to have high moral principles.
ETYMOLOGY:
After Seth Pecksniff, a character in Charles Dickens’s novel Martin Chuzzlewit (serialized 1843-1844). Earliest documented use: 1844. The adjectival form is pecksniffian.
NOTES:
Pecksniff sounds like a man who moralizes in public and misbehaves in private. Which, spoiler alert, he does.
But Pecksniff, seriously? If a character’s name is Pecksniff, his moral downfall feels less like a character arc and more like a destiny. With a name like this, you have given them no hope. They’re doomed from page one. See nominative determinism.
It’s not just Dickens. The Harry Potter world has Voldemort (from French vol de mort: flight of death), 101 Dalmatians has Cruella de Vil, and so on. Heroes, on the other hand, get regular names like Oliver Twist or Harry Potter.
The essence of Trump and company.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
But man, proud man, / Drest in a little brief authority, / Most ignorant of what he's most assured, / His glassy essence, like an angry ape, / Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven / As make the angels weep. -William Shakespeare, playwright and poet (23 Apr 1564-1616)
If you are able to tie your #MAGA loving friends, family or neighbors to a chair and force their eyes open so they must watch this, then please do so. #AdamSomething on #YouTube has a perfect explanation of why #TFG is an idiot. #uspol #finance #capitalism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zognn5hwQdk
I guess it's pointless to remind everyone that there were lots of us warning that #TFG has been lying this whole time and that the current "administration" has only one goal: the return of America to a collection of vassal states wholly owned by America's "elites" like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, the Walton family, the Koch family, and many more. The wheels are in motion already. https://sfba.social/@skykiss/114379914150396592 https://sfba.social/@skykiss/114379914150396592
