Yeah could be. It’s true that there’s ultimately no way of knowing what’s going on inside their heads.

Indeed… but their ACTIONS tell me that they don’t care about democracy, even if they performatively act as if they do. Any Republicans that did not fully break with Trump after Jan. 6th is part of the problem, whatever they really believe.

can the far-right echo chamber be positively eroded by a proper application of “Poe’s Law” on steroids? …here’s hoping. (“You know how we pranked 'em with a church with Lara Trump cradling an AK-47 as the new Pietà? …well, there’s a queue that goes round the block.” -sigh-)

The satirical website will relaunch InfoWars with a “relentless barrage of humor for good.”

For once, the “funniest possible outcome” is not an exaggeration. The Onion, the satirical news website that started as a newspaper in the 1980s, says it won a bankruptcy auction to acquire InfoWars, the fringe right-wing website founded in 1999 and run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. …

Merrick Garland - you schmuck!

He was always gonna be a schmuck. His SC nomination was because the Dems didn’t have a Senate majority, and so Obama had to pick someone that both he and McConnell could swallow. Just because he wasn’t enough of a schmuck to suit McConnell doesn’t mean he wasn’t still too much of a schmuck to be trusted to do the right thing later on. There is a sizable Schmuck Gap there these days.

Holy malice and incompetency, Batman!
Every damn Trump appointee is the exact opposite of what the office needs. It’s like a DC gallery of Batman villains.

Poison Ivy to lead the USDA?!

Joker? Press Secretary (for about 6 months, before tRump fires him and replaces him with Riddler).

Mr. Freeze as secretary of energy?

If anything Batman’s Rogues Gallery is too reasonable and overqualified to serve in this administration.
Ra’s al Ghul has centuries of relevant administrative experience. Catwoman has a track record of redistributing the wealth of billionaires. Mr. Freeze not only believes in global warming, he invented the tech to reverse it. Even Joker understands the importance of paying his damn taxes.

Also, Joker punches Nazis. At least, the comic book one did.

The USA will need a strong slap across the face to bring it back to reality.

And let’s not forget that when an actual bona-fide supervillain was elected POTUS in the DC universe, he immediately divested himself of his private businesses in order to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.
Honestly, the comics probably just created unrealistically high expectations for the ethics of asshole billionaire despots.

Trump is a regular villain, not a super one. The difference is presentation and he comes off like an angry washed-up comedian.
