MAGA is a dirty word. It’s a word that requires blind support for Trump; leave your critical thinking skills at the door. Bend to your confirmation bias. As Trump once said at a Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention in Kansas City, Mo, “don’t believe what you’re reading or seeing”. And his credulous supporters are happy to oblige. It’s madness.
It looks like we’re on-track to have VGER come back with so much research data that it will inadvertently destroy the earth.

As a software developer, when I hear the term “alpha male” I think these males must be unstable, missing important features, ridden with flaws, and not fit for public use.
Our Sneaker Con con-man Trump is selling $400 ugly sneakers. He doesn’t even wear sneakers. I don't think he has EVER worn sneakers. In his life. And they're made on-demand in (you guessed it) China.

Ham sandwich walked into a bar and asked the bartender for a beer. Bartender replied, “Sorry, we don’t serve food here.”
At a 2024 #Iowa #Republican Primary caucus site in Council Bluffs, the votes were read from folded pieces of paper in a popcorn bucket.
At some locations, voters wrote their choice on a brightly colored 3x5 card.
At another site, a #CNN reporter watched as workers ran out of ballots and were handing out pieces of yellow legal paper for voters to record their choice.
Tell me again how the #GOP can possibly claim to be the party of election integrity.
After everything that Donald Trump has said and done, and which has been excused, minimized, and discounted by Republicans, they’re losing their shit over this?
