'Slander and Racists and Unholy Rescindments Oh My'

"WTF. In just ten dystopian days, in the name of restoring America to a mythical white guy greatness, a blundering, vengeful, rabidly unfit oompa-loompa has tried to shut down the government, strong-arm the economy, whitewash culture, roll back civil rights, and in a ghastly flourish pass the buck on a fatal crash by luridly scapegoating imagined 'others': Look! Over there! A blind, black, dwarf female air traffic controller! Grim fact: 'What a horrible, pathetic little man.'"

"Like a malignant, unstrung kid with zero impulse control blithely toying with a live grenade, the Orange Oaf (OOF) has unleashed chaos with a torrent of dodgy, often devastating 'executive orders' that often bear little resemblance to governing or even reality: Tossing a blanket pardon to Jan. 6 thugs now startlingly swiftly landing back in prison, purging scores of competent federal workers to install know-nothing lackeys, fecklessly rescinding as much as he can of civil rights progress over the last 60 years. Next fever dream: separate water fountains. His most dazzling debacle was the madcap freezing of trillions in federal grants and loans, essentially shutting down governance to ensure it's consistent with (his) agenda not 'advancing Marxist equity,' and after a day of predictable mayhem saying, oops, hmm, never mind."
