This is the crazy, ass-backward state of affairs where MAGA voters have brought the world's most powerful nation and premier democracy.
We are at a point as country and a people where an outgoing, popularly elected POTUS finds himself facing the prospect of having to issue wholly unnecessary, preemptive presidential pardons to Democratic AND Republican lawmakers who dared to investigate the crimes of Donald J. Trump and hold him accountable.
These pardons are not being considered by President Biden because any of the individuals who might be the recipient of one have committed any crimes or wrongdoing. No, this is happening because a crooked, traitorous, vengeance-obsessed thug convinced a bunch of willfully ignorant, morally destitute Americans that he cared about them and as their savior and champion would fix all of their worldly problems.
Essentially, Drumpf wants to abuse his newly anointed SCOTUS immunity and presidential powers and use the DOJ as his own personal vengeance agency to seek out, in the words of his own toadies, "retribution" for those who dared to see him face the same justice that any other American would have to face for having committed the very same crimes DonOld committed.

This is the sad reality and embarrassing dumbassery that the very lousiest of our citizens have forced upon us all.

Now that President-elect Elon Musk has cemented his role within the Drumpf administration part deux, it might be a good time for Ma and Pa MAGA to seriously reevaluate the moral values decisions that brought them to a point in their lives where they would support a convicted felon, rapist, crooked "businessman," con artist, and coup-plotting traitor who views their kind as exploitable and expendable trash.

This is what Ma and Pa MAGA voter voted for. Apparently they were so upset about the cost of eggs and gas, or some other such stupid shit, that they opted to give complete power over their lives to a carpet-bagging, South African, megalomaniac, immigrant billionaire who could not give less of a fuck about their welfare and views them as nothing but useful idiot steppingstones to more wealth and power for himself.
Helluva fucking job Drumpf voters. You went and blew yourselves up and made us all economic slaves to some truly evil people. And now it is nearly time for you, for all of us, to reap the whirlwind which you MAGA chowderheads have sown.

To each and every one of you who voted for Donald Drumpf on November 5th of this year: This - Is - Exactly - What - You - Voted - For.
When you folks cast your ballots for Donald Trump on November 5th you all, each and every on of you, consciously approved of giving the wealthiest individual on this planet and newly hired economic advisory kingpin to a sitting US President, a South African immigrant billionaire who blows up $100 million rockets as a leisure time activity, free reign to threaten Republicans in Congress and goad Congress in to shutting down the US government through the new year and into late January and essentially forcing millions of US workers and US military personnel to go without pay until King Donald and Viceroy Elmo have control of the levers of power on January 20th, and God knows what manner of evil they have planned at that stage.
The degenerate old sonofabitch hasn't even set foot back in the White House yet and he and his cabal of un-American ratfuckers are already setting the stage for chaos and misery directed at the American people.

Is anyone else as sick of these performative, painfully fucking insufferable MAGA jagoffs as The Gadfly is? Yeesh!
JfC, they are nauseating, aren't they? And redundantly dumb too, believing in and peddling the same old tired, kooky, conspiracy idiocies over and over again.
These lunatics actually believe that Covid was a Biden/Fauci engineered pandemic to make Drumpf look bad, wreck his beautiful tariff-ravaged economy, and kill more than 7 million globally and more than a million Americans. And now, to keep the conspiracy blood pumping in their feeble minds, they think Biden, the evil Wizard of the North, is going engineer yet another viral contagion to kill millions more humans and God knows how many red-state Americans. 😕
Drumpf hasn't even been inaugurated yet and his willfully under-educated groupies are already laying the groundwork to blame their dear leader's coming leadership failures on Biden and other laughably manufactured "enemy" forces. Why? Because that is what MAGA does. They lie and they obfuscate and they blame, and their underdeveloped brains, very much like their morality, is as malleable as 'Silly Putty.'
In 2016 MAGA voters purposely chose NOT to hold Drumpf accountable for his lifetime of criminal, financial, and predatory crimes, and his degenerate personal public behavior. They heard their orange deity's own voice on tape bragging about how he could randomly sexually assault any woman and get away with it because he is "a star."
In 2020 MAGA voters purposely chose NOT to hold DonOld accountable for his Ukraine criminal acts that got him impeached the first time. They ignored the ginormous betrayal of his base with his billionaires-friendly tax plan. And many of them suffered, and died due to his massive failure in competently dealing with the Covid pandemic which resulted in the US having the MOST infections and the MOST deaths of any country on the planet. Thankfully he lost.
And then in 2024, after the 34 felony convictions, after the other indictments, after the business fraud judgments, after his defamation judgment that got him labeled by a US court as a 'rapist,' after his inciting his fascist flock to commit violence and cause the deaths of several people, and put many law enforcement personnel in the hospital in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, MAGA voters STILL decided that Donald Drumpf was their man for POTUS.
So why on God's green Earth would Ma and Pa MAGA all of a sudden begin to give a serious flying fuck about their dementia-ravaged dear leader's ability to handle the actual job duties of the US Presidency, competently deal with all manner of crises, and see properly to his nation's health and welfare? Well, that's just it. They don't care. They have never cared. That much is clear enough to those who care to see it.
Here's the deal though. They won, right? MAGA. Drumpf. They won it all, right? Ok then. Let's call that a settled point. Just remember this though - every bad thing that happens in this country after January 20th, 2025 will be ALL on Drumpf. And more importantly, it will also be ALL on the MAGA monkey House and MAGA voters. This nation and it's survival is ALL theirs to fuck up for ALL of us.
"To hear Donald Trump tell it, his first administration was on a roll and doing well until the 2020 pandemic hit the country and shut down the global economy. Now conspiracy theorists think that President Joe Biden will try to sabotage a new incoming administration by starting another plague or even a civil war."
Idiots.

Lol! What exactly did these CEO's think was going to happen when they pumped millions of their corporate money into the presidential campaign of an individual whose primary motivation for running for POTUS a second time was to keep himself out of federal prison?
Did these CEO's not believe Drumpf's threats to rule as a dictator? Did they not believe he would appoint his criminal consorts, and frighteningly unqualified apparatchiks to high office and critical agencies? Did they not understand the intent behind his threats to start tariff wars with not only China, but our closest and most trusted trading partners too? Do they not comprehend the desire by Drumpf to do to American corporate CEO's that which his mentor Vladimir Putin has done to Russian CEO's? And can they not see the reality of what a consumer unfriendly, dictator-supporting corporate agenda will do to economically wreck the US economy, an economy that Joe Biden had rescued from Drumpf's previous ratfuckery and was nurturing back to health?
If there is any wonder where these CEO's and their loyalty will align themselves when the day arrives and Drumpf, hell-bent on revenge, begins his terror campaign of anti-constitutional orders and unlawful commands to his apparatchiks to begin the process of declaring martial law and clamping down on civil liberties and the defense of 1st amendment rights, there shouldn't be. Just go Google the history of how big business bent the knee to Hitler and the Nazi party in 1930's Germany. There's historical precedent for what we are on the cusp of witnessing occur in 21st century America.
And here's another pro-tip - there isn't a planet in our galaxy where these CEO's will be able to hide out and evade eventual accountability for their financially supporting an authoritarian dictator who would try to end the American experiment.

"Their incompetence will weaken the United States." True.
"Their instability will leave them vulnerable to being compromised." True.
But this is what Ma and Pa MAGA-American voted for. This is what they wanted for the country.
Right❓
And let's be clear. Drumpf's desire to regain access to the oval office was driven by two intertwined motives.
One - he wanted to avoid prison time. Mission accomplished. And two - he wants revenge. These shitty people for nominees in his cabinet and critical positions is DonOld's way of revenge against America and his detractors and better Americans for trying to hold him accountable for his crimes.
And Ma and Pa MAGA voted for that too.
Drumpf hasn't even set foot back inside the White House yet, and he has already produced nothing but mayhem, chaos and fear. It will never get any better folks, and if the behavior of past despots in world history is any indication, it will only worsen until something has to break. And if what breaks is the will of the American people to stand up to his and MAGA's thuggery, democracy and the concept of a free and 'United' States of America is officially dead.

Drumpf and his sycophants are crowing about Time Magazine announcing their choice of Drumpf as their "Person of the Year" cover for the new year.
Well, besides the fact that Time Magazine hasn't been a relevant presence in US journalism since before the most recent change of the millennia, it's moderately humorous because even though Time has selected US Presidents over the years for their "Person of the Year" cover, in this case, DonOld's groupies are celebrating the sad reality that their dear leader will in fact be lumped in with the sullied catalog of despots and aspiring dictators who Time has also opted to fete as their chosen "Person of the Year" on the cover of their rag for nearly the past century, including this delightful fellow:

Here's a middling challenge for The Gadfly's Drumpf-supporting friends and family members. Are you ready?
Ok. In 500 words or less, rationally, coherently, and factually explain to The Gadfly how facilitating the return of an insidious childhood disease that maimed and killed hundreds of thousands prior to the advent of the vaccine pioneered by Dr. Jonas Salk, makes America great again? Go ahead. Take your time.
Thanks for playing along.

And then some credulously wonder how it is that a sizable number of Americans cheered or shrugged their shoulders at the recent, cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare's (UHC) CEO, Brian Thompson.
To be clear, there is no moral justification for such a crime, none. However, considering the caliber of evil that we are dealing with here, it sure as fuck is understandable and I really don't give a shit if that view bothers the political elites in our country since they themselves have played a significant role in pushing our society to this unfortunate juncture to begin with.
Sadly, what happened to Brian Thompson is likely just the beginning of a simmering backlash from a movement of citizens who are tired of being taken advantage of by their fellow greedy, uncaring Americans. And it goes without saying that with Drumpf constructing a cabinet and administration stocked full of billionaires and millionaires, it will only help hasten the arrival of even more and bloodier class warfare in the US.
