John Fugelsang FTW

I didn’t think 2025 would get a better visual metaphor than the pic of Elon Musk’s micropenis car on fire outside a Trump hotel.

Or inaugurating a racist on MLK Day.

Or tearing down the East Wing of the White House.

But apparently we have a new winner:

for some damn reason, but he forgot why. It is like me when I go to the kitchen and then forget the reason I went there.

The older I get, the more I wonder about the hereafter.

I walk into a room and wonder, "What am I here after?"

Someone who is NOT a sociopath would at least show some concern for the person suffering from a medical event.

And his behavior shows that he thought it was more important to embrace HIS photo-op. So he moved over, camera left, and stood there so as NOT to miss HIS precious photo-op.

He looked like an idiot, just standing there, inert, a few steps away, while others were busy crouched down around the person who’d fainted, trying to offer assistance. Just showing his priorities: himself.

And those other guys at camera right, who were busy trying to assist the man stricken, well, never mind THEM. THEY’RE just “the help”.

like he's only supported at the waist (waste?). Like he's trying to hide his slouch. He's really exhausted, and he has no reason to be. I'm sure Satan is getting a place ready, and will take him soon. 'Tis my fevered dream.......

The USA now has a leader who does not even know how to respond to a person fainting. This is the leader who is supposed respond to crises when they occur, direct the protection of our country in the even of attack (from within or without), and basically manage the response to the country's emergencies when they occur.

He freezes when a single person faints in his office!

JFC!!!
