I'm actually starting to think.the reason republicans want him in the oval office is because, due to him being an incompetent insurrectionist moron with the cognitive ability and reasoning faculties of a unripe walnut, he'd be so easy to manipulate into signing into policy any goddamn thing they want him to, in order to cling on to their tenous grip on power.

Hasn't that been the strategy for several decades?
Looking at you, Bush
Ah yes the man elected because people wanted to "have a beer with him."
He felt like a common man because he was the failson; a lay-about black-sheep of a political dynasty spanning 4 generations.
He lost the vote, and, remarkably for POTUSes who lost the vote but won the election, he also lost the election and only won due to a lack of competent counting.
It had nothing to do with beer and everything to do with our system's bad design.
We have to resize the court, before it’s too late.
Them handing the election to W despite his L was the sign it needed to happen, and a mere 20 years later they’re stripping women’s right to bodily autonomy.
And then there was Reagan, who signed off on a bunch of Iran-Contra things and then had Alzheimer's and other kind of dementia melt his brain like the Mission: Impossible self-destructing tape or something
I am not a bright man
If that's the case, why didn't they pass any meaningful bill in the first 2 years of his presidency?
He didn't champion anything, so Congress didn't give him any bills to sign that he wanted.
It's not 3d chess. Hell, it's not even checkers. It's that Republicans are stuck with this moron that a significant, and very loud percentage of their base LOVES.
They did spend a lot of time confirming judges, though
That's why their (second?) favorite former president was an actor. They know how to follow a script.
I think that’s Putin’s strategy. Republicans can’t think that far ahead.
That Jimi Hendrix drawing of Elvis kinda looks like Trump, but we're talking about a kid's drawing....

He's trying to get attention and these idiots in "journalism" are falling for it.
I sure don't disagree with Joe on that one.
Who cares about policy when the leading republican candidate prefers to be a Kardashian? /s
Wants their social life to be Kardashian, but wants to rule like a cardassian
I have so few opportunities to repost this.
Still better looking than the Kardashians.
Do we even know what the Kartrashians look like? All I know is the image they paint on their faces.
This should include Major Kira, with her arms crossed, looking smug.
Damn he got me cus I was gonna vote for whichever candidate was more like Elvis.
The world loved Elvis. Trump, not so much.
At best you can say he looks like fat Elvis just before he dies on the toilet. Alternatively, he looks more like Elvis does now.
Either one of those makes his statement accurate. Anything aside from that is just the dementia talking.
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
