Saving this picture, in case I ever eat something poisonous i can use it to throw up immediately.
McDonald’s Unhappy Meal
Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.
Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

Caravan of Fools comes to mind…
The dark and distant drumming
The pounding of the hooves
The silence of everything that moves
Late at night you'll see them
Decked out in shiny jewels
The coming of the caravan of fools
Like the wings of a dove
The waiter's white glove
Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool
Some dull, blinding winter
When you can't help but lose
You're running with the caravan of fools
Love and devotion, deep as any ocean
Don't play by anybody's rules
With your carousel of horses
And your unforeseen forces
You're running with the caravan of fools
Caravan of fools, caravan of fools
You're running with the caravan of fools

This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.
They are fucking wild honestly.
Honestly, in my social circle we're all kinda treating it like this... strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can't even really joke about it, still. It's like we all know it's gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it's going to be. There's a lot I'm hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that's a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.
Those were probably fake accounts
Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.
I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.
It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

What will they think when those things don't happen? Some conspiracy shit?
Cognitive dissonance - They'll find some way to blame it on Biden/Harris/Newsom/Pelosi.

Is that Leonard Leo in the back? (Right side)
That's the master vampire! If we stake him, the rest lose their powers!
Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House
No, that's Mike "My son and I know each other's porn habits" Johnson.
Dang it. He's not the master vampire.
It may be real, but why does it look shopped, especially jr looks fake.
It’s because his mouth really looks like a butthole. Some uncanny valley shit. What can I say, some people just got that butthole mouth thing going on.
