Viva Zapata is a 1952 movie of a Mexican revolutionary. Just don't look at the movie pictures. The way they applied dark make-up to Marlon Brando wouldn't have past muster today.

We need more of this! Every blue state needs to stand up and parody the bully. The orange narcissistic sociopath can’t handle it!

…I doubt this strategy will wear thin any time soon. Think of it as being like The Lincoln Project: something designed to get under one person’s skin.

To the amusement of us little people, it seems to be working like a charm.

Never! He goes all hysterical over even perceived insults, responding with even deeper insanity. The team simply regurgitates it right back at him. Driving even more insanity. Rinse and repeat

I just know that sarcastic humor has a sell-by date. I don't expect Newsom will troll Dotard like this through November 2028.

That fucking jackass was never funny.

They can say really shocking, rude, 16 year old humor, and the whole thing makes trump look like an ass. Everytime they post its a reminder this is literally what trump posts like, day in and out. It is insane, and they should keep pointing out how stupid he sounds.

He'll bring out his favorite insult for women--nasty. It's always 'she's nasty' or 'that was a nasty question', for any woman that dares to call him out, or just ask a question that he doesn't like.

That has always been one of Biden's strengths: be worthy of the best and brightest and raise them up.
