And will this have any impact on his campaign or his voter support? Of course not...

I remember when misspelling "potato" ended a man's political career.

Nothing matters anymore, it's ridiculous

I think of the absolute horror and the whole news cycle dedicated to a tan suit...

Then there was the fancy mustard incident... It nearly ended the USA as a world power (at least according to the right wing propaganda channels).

Don't even get us started on the coffee salute and how it made the military ready to start a coup from the disrespect. /s

WTF is happening to this nation? Somehow our politics has been taken over by Idiocracy grade stupidity as a matter of course.

I don't know, Ronnie Jackson and Ronnie Johnson don't seem that dissimilar. This doesn't seem like enough of a story to even write about. There's so many better topics when it comes to this jackass. Rather not waste time on this.

Besides, just seems like more of an excuse to keep him in the news. Which only helps him.

You can say what you said about ANY name, you realize this, right?. Bobby Smith, Robbie Smitts... Jackie Ford, Jenny Delford.

Sure, those names are close enough to get wrong if they are people you don't personally know. But Trump KNEW this person. Not only that, Trump is the one bringing the topic up.

If Robbie Smitts was the name of my doctor, and I'm going to go in front of a crowd and say "HAS ANYONE HEARD OF BOBBY SMITH, CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS? HE WAS THE WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR, A GOOD DR, ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS, AND HE SAID I WAS THE HEALTHIEST PRESIDENT, HE FEELS, IN HISTORY"

And I do that right after I said "NJM1314 DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD INFLATION MEANS, I CHALLENGE HIM TO TAKE A COGNITION TEST!"

Then yeah, I got the name wrong of someone I personally know while making fun of your cognitive abilities, and it's a story to write about.

No, I reject your entire premise uncategorically.

If it convinces just one person that he's too crazy to vote for, it's worth it.

And not giving any attention to the negative things about a person who is one of two people who will be president next year and who says he's going to be a dictator sounds like a mistake to me.

They said while wasting even more time typing about it.

This comic kind of breaks down when you realize there are 100% viable alternatives to the iPhone versus cars lacking seatbelts back in the day or living under medieval feudalism...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

True, but it works as an opener

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

This is the first time I see the entire comic, huh.

It will be an absolute travesty if he gets re elected
