That's the last civics lesson you'll be teaching around here, pal.

This is a really nice guest bed you got here. Could use some fresh bedding though.

Yep. And the inverse being true as well:

The people who rolled over did it because they are afraid of Trump and think he might go after them extralegally - despite these people being the exact ones who are meant to help ensure people like Trump have to answer to the law. Real prisoner's dilemma they got going on here.

I agree, it's likely ambiguous not because he's dumb and doesn't know how he sounds but because he knows exactly how this sounds and is trying to make this a soundbite that gets the left riled up, but more importantly continually pushes the norms of what he can say and propose he might do, so that we're all numb by the time he does the autocratic things he is doing right now. He's a senile imbicilic buffon, but he's also a comedic conniving mobster. He'll try to lean on the former when it's time to prove his culpability in court, once he's been ousted. It's for that reason in our best interests to remember two things can be true.

It's like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. And getting brunch. And really hitting it off.

Not sure how it's "admitted." He's said very similar things before, with it clear from context that he's referring to how if he'd won in 2020, he'd already be done with his second term. Not that he rigged the most recent election. Another repetition of the big lie, but this is nothing new.

That's a lot more fun than when I trained my dog to find Parkinsons. I only have one friend named Parkinson, so it wasn't very impressive.

Yeah, I wasn't able to find any waste, fraud, or abuse, and rather than saving money like we promised, it turns out we're spending more money. Like a lot more. Like instead of saving a trillion dollars how I said we would, we've spent over two hundred billion more than last year in just a few months. Oh, and you know how we said your taxes would go down? Funny thing, they're actually going to go up - for you I mean, mine will weirdly go down still. And my companies will also do pretty well because of the government subsidies and all that. Oh, and it's pretty convenient that all of those investigations into my businesses randomly got dropped. Coincidental those investigations were under the same agencies where we imagined we'd find the most waste, fraud, and abuse. Good thing shutting them down without the authority to do so was much easier than actually proving any wrongdoing took place. Anyway, good luck getting a job if you're one of the many experienced government employees I fired. I know things are unusually rough right now, for some reason. Lots of people attacking the United States with bad trade deals out of nowhere, like how Ukraine attacked Russia so randomly. Good thing we're diverting so much money from those pointless social safety nets (I mean, they've never helped me) to put it toward additional warfare. That'll show all those countries who refuse to bend the knee. Oh, are you still here? Shouldn't you be working long hours for a slave wage somewhere?

Yeah, 2 tines and 4 handle is a pretty good fork, I'll admit. I just worry about the concave shape of the top side of the handle causing the edges to dig into my fingers with long-term use.

Trumpism:

Ukraine should concede Crimea and anything else Russia wants - but Obama should never have let Russia take Crimea!

If you elect me, I'll have a deal made on day one - but whatever deal I make they won't take it, it's all Biden's fault!

I'm going to put tariffs on every country in the world except Russia because things are already so tough for them - but they won't listen to me, somebody needs to sanction Russia!

I think Ukraine needs to apologize to Russia for instigating such an aggressive war - but why won't anyone acknowledge how smart I am on foreign policy?

Let's see... we've replaced our forests with gas stations, burnt down the rainforests in favor of monoculture farms, acidified the oceans to kill all the diatoms... I think we've put Earth's oxygen production systems into as much peril as possible.

Billionaires: hold my deep sea mining rig.

Those prongs are fine. The handle, though, it's like having a huge counterweight on the back of the utensil. I can imagine liking it if it's always been that way or if you have big hands. Otherwise, handle number 5 is the clear improvement - no sharp edges, properly balanced, not shaped like a wedge. Could hold that fork for days.
