We've just been informed that to keep things fresher still, the "Not Fascism" and "Fascism" buttons have been replaced by buttons that read "Fascism Lite" and "Fascism Ultra".
It's a good bit for voters to alternately smash the "Fascism" and "Not fascism" button every few years. Keeps things fresh, otherwise we'd all get bored

Yikes, I wasn't paying attention. It's not Jair, but his son.
It's as if the US was dumb enough to vote for Don jr. (which, tbh, I fully expect us to do sooner or later).
Did Brazil look at the Philippines and go "Political dynasties are hot just now, why don't we get on board?"

Brazil proving that the US isn't the only nation dumb enough to re-elect the society-destroying fascist. Viktor Orbán must be rubbing his hands and muttering "My turn next, my pretties."

The joke is that the probability of ordinary Americans getting the promised $5000 check from Donald Trump is about the same as the probability of the US getting actual socialism, that is, so close to zero as makes no difference.

"We know you're not an ATM. An ATM only lets us take out $300 at a time, and we hope to get far more than that from you."
If you need to send a fundraising email with the header “We know you’re not an ATM” maybe it’s a sign you ought to reign in the grifter consulting firms that are alienating supporters with a constant stream of panhandling spam to raise money that mostly gets poured back into their own coffers?

Maybe some pilots are indeed furries. But if you were to argue that being a furry disqualifies you from being a pilot, you might equally well argue that being the stupidest fucking person on the entire planet disqualifies you from being a US Senator, and I'm sure Sen. Tuberville would dispute that.

"we have more munitions than we could ever think of using and we're making more" is certainly an interesting message. It would seem to imply that taxpayer money is not being spent effectively.
We know we are low on munitions. The people who have acknowledged that have spent their careers serving this country in uniform, unlike this warmonger chickenhawk draft dodger who calls them cowards.

We should start an urban legend about “the curse of the Kennedy Center”, based on the idea that every president who’s had his name on the building has had his brains blown out by a sniper’s bullet.
Then see how long it takes Trump to start insisting on renaming it “the Obama and Kennedy Center”.

There's never going to be a "Have you no sense of decency, sir?" moment with Trump, because he answered that question quite unambiguously, long ago.

Ted Cruz does have a point. For example, I recently told a number of people that on the morning of September 11th, I wrestled Godzilla to the ground and gave him an atomic wedgie, but it was 25 years ago and the details are a little blurry. It may not have happened exactly like that.

Some people ask "If Donald Trump were a Russian asset, what would he do differently?"
But you could equally well ask "If Donald Trump were a complete fucking idiot, what would he do differently?"
In both cases, the answer is "Nothing", so asking the question isn't really that helpful.

"Several key security and safety features on the Boeing planes that have been used for decades as Air Force One are not visible on the upgraded jet, including a lower-level exit for high-risk situations, additional backup power capacity and AN ADVANCED ANTIMISSILE SYSTEM" (emphasis mine)
From a national security perspective to a taxpayer perspective, this is just a massive scandal.
Bottom line:
Trump wanted a fancy jet and he wanted it NOW, safety/cost be damned.
And THIS is what he was laser-focused as Americans struggled.
