Donald J. Trump is a Fatuous (and poisonous) Bastard ™

For this tweet today, Donny Trump is awarded the Fatuous Bastard™. Pete Hegseth get an dishonorable mention for retweeting it. When they write or say “lethal, kinetic strike,” it must just make their balls tingle.

“Just off the coast of Venezuela” means in its territorial waters or on the high seas.

The Fatuous Bastard™ award aims to recognize and celebrate all the incels and other assorted misfits who were stuffed in lockers in high school and never got over it, the overweening, overcompensating pseudo-intellectual fools who mistake a thesaurus for thought, the basement dwellers whose fingers are as orange as their hero, the . . . well, you get the idea.

Thanks for your feedback. If we like what you have to say, it may appear in a future post of reader reactions.
