— Truss purchases loyalty of the Praetorian Guard with a generous donative.
— Grayling, from exile in the eastern provinces, declares himself Prince of Wales.

On a different nutcase:

There is a Republican senate candidate in Colorado called Joe O’Dea. He’s somewhat moderate and he isn’t completely struck on Trump; he has said he might back someone else in 2024. This has affronted the Tangerine Doofus, who sent one of his tweetalikes:

“MAGA doesn’t vote for stupid people with big mouths.”

Since when?

Racists who want to pretend there’s more to them than hating the black man. (They mostly hate Jews too.)

It descends from the Tea Party, and is even more a creation of PR machines than that was.

It baffles me

Twellies, MAGA is short for Make America Great Again, Trump’s campaign slogan in 2016, and is used to describe the cult followers of Donald Trump.

Some of them probably are not racists particularly; all of them are stupid, and have big mouths.

I do not wish to bring this board into disrepute, so supply your own sweariewords.
