    Ehhh I wish more news companies would get under his skin and raise his blood pressure. I can’t imagine it would take a whole lot more than just press mocking him relentlessly for him to stroke out and wither away into dust from all the salt.

      Was watching Daredevil: Born Again last night. And to avoid spoilers to the degree possible: a dude in power sat and watched helplessly as crowds and allies turned and conspired against him. What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall in that moment for Trump. Well, let’s say the ceiling to avoid hamburder projectiles.

              No, I meant that Lex legitimately thought his actions were in the best interests of the people, basically doing wrong things with good intentions.

              The part that confuses so many people about the behavior of Trump and friends is that the people are trying to logic it as them wanting to do the right thing and getting it wrong, but don’t realize that hurting people was always the goal.

              Trump is more of a classic villain who only wants power for self benefit.

              Lex had an actual teacher as Secretary of Education.

              He put all his holdings into a blind trust.

              He never visited Epstein Island.

        He’s so narcissistic and delusional that this is the way. I think Iran’s videos really got to him, and the pressure of not being hated, but mocked is what’s going to end him.

          Mockery is our most powerful tool against him. He has an ego and rages against being called a fool.

              That’s very wasteful, there’s still an awful lot of them and 9mm rounds emit noxious fumes into the atmosphere. We invented guillotines specifically for this purpose because they’re completely reusable, they are the environmentally friendly choice.

      Lol I dunno maybe it’s just because we’re mostly good people or what, but I’m legit surprised the Internet hasn’t just cyberbullied him to death at this point. Massive “truthsocial” sock puppet accounts hammering every single post.

      “Lol kys you dumb child-molesting idiot. No one cares.”

      “Lmfao look at this witless tool going all-caps AGAIN.”

      Maybe they do and it just pushes his reactionary god-complex further, idk.
