4. I doubt that President Biden gives a damn, or is surprised, by their response.

I have not heard the word nincompoop in ages. I'm glad you dusted it off.

It fits perfectly.


Webster's:

nincompoop (noun)
nin·​com·​poop ˈnin-kəm-ˌpüp 

: a stupid or silly person : fool, simpleton

Usage:
"they could easily find some nincompoop to give them yet more money …"
-Kevin Maney

"A bunch of nincompoops … that could not find themselves out of a restroom."
Jill Zuckman

nincompoopery (noun)
ˈnin-kəm-ˌpü-pə-rē 

"Each day's news seems to bring ever more horrific stories of greed, incompetence, arrogance, excess, deceit … and inconceivable nincompoopery …"
The Hightower Lowdown


It's like this word has been waiting for centuries for the GOP to show up.
