Trump looks like a schoolgirl seeing her crush. A Disney character would say he's twitterpated even.
Zorhan Mamdani stands next to a seated Trump as Trump looks up lovingly at Mamdani in a way he's never looked at his own wife. It's disturbing.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

They cheated their way to a World Series title and got away with it.

Fuck them and fuck this. It should haunt them for the rest of their team’s existence

Gonna do a little experiment: Give me a song lyric that goes with this character:
Dan Stevens as David from the 2014 cult horror hit The Guest, wearing a black jacket inside a blood red room with a dark, devious expression on his face.

From the piece:
Screenshot from the previously posted Amanda Marcotte Salon article that reads: But the president's repeated humiliations this weekend also offer some hope. His efforts to be a terrifying figure are routinely undercut by his clownishness. The more he tries to appear mighty, the more he seems increasingly frail in his rapidly aging body.

Amazing time at Vidiots tonight screening Aliens, my favorite movie of all time. Special thanks to J.W. Hendricks (you may remember him as the photographer during the WGA and SAG strikes) for capturing me in all my Vasquez glory. LET’S ROCK!

Absolutely perfect description. If only this had been his obituary.
Piece in an unknown publication written by Oliver Kornetzke on August 18th, 2025 that reads behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman the coward of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of Klansman the sexism of a back alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk,and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul. All spray-pained orange and paraded like a prize hog at the county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been— arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation knees before money, power and spite it doesn’t just lose its soul. It shits out this bloated, obscenity and calls it a leader
