DeFascist has even more of a tin ear than I thought: his new term for the MAGA deplorables: “listless vessels”! What a farce!

Say that three X fast. Then, add a lisp and what do you have? You don’t even need to add the lisp! It just inserts itself!
This man is seriously out of it.

Do you pop out of partys?

”True to his longtime practice of stiffing the help, Trump is turning a deaf ear to Giuliani’s desperate pleas, in a tin-cup trip to Mar-a-Lago, to pay his legal bills.”

The VESSELS wouldn’t even notice that the sentence referred to was grammatically incorrect and awkward.
“If all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”
Listless vessels is plural. The verb “is” is the singular form.
I would reword as:
“If all we are ARE listless vessels that ARE just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”
Rhonda is not very bright.

A very disgusting bunch of humans. Those two cretins should get engaged and honeymoon in _____________. I can’t think of a place that would be horrible enough for them.

If the trans activists don’t stop their tyrannical methods, they’re going to lose allies and the G L B are going to be dragged down with them. I’m not the only one who is saying that, Brad Polumbo a gay journalist, Marcus Dibs f2m transexual–what he calls himself–Blair White, Buck Angel another f2m transexual, Arielle Scarcella a lesbian and Thai Rivera a gay comedienne, They all say the same thing. Sadly I don’t think Biden or any Democrat is going to win next big election. I think the Republicans got us beat.

Very convincing. You just listed 5 people.
