    And letting a thin-skinned, Ketamine-fueled, video-game cheating, Nazi apologist billionaire take over the machinery of the United States is not something that anyone voted for.

      Ketamine-fueled

      That’s the important part. We have an adderall addict and a ketamine addict running our government.

          Hitler (speed addict) was actually in charge. In this case, the speed addict has given the reins over to the guy taking shit that makes you hallucinate.

        This really isn’t the important part though… I would say their beliefs and their actions are far more important.

              It will be “I didn’t vote for THIS!?”

              Then, if we even still have elections, they’ll vote for Republicans again.
