#Republicans are a #CULT, not a political party.

The ENTIRE #GOP is a goddamned fucking JOKE.

Look at the #Cabinet, each one of these sick #freaks approved by #Republican Senators.

Every single one of these #trump Cabinet members is #incompetent, an #abuser, #traitorous, #illiterate, #lying, #fraudulent or just plain cold stone #fucknuts, or all above.

Approved by the Cult.

It's fucking SICK.
America has a fatal disease. It's called Republicans.

Show me ONE Cabinet member that's qualified.

@tante that is intentional!

That's why they are transmisogynist and racist POSes: They don't accept or even tolerate people who are more intelligent, more confident or just flatout better than them!

They don't want people to be able to #DIY or #repair or have any #knowledge, but to take the #Enshittification as "law of nature" and being dependant on an "Oracle" as a fact of life.

Continued thread

After spending the better part of the past 2 yrs grading #AI-generated papers, Troy Jollimore, a poet, philosopher, & Cal State Chico #ethics professor, has concerns. “Massive numbers of #students are going to emerge from #university w/degrees, & into the workforce, who are essentially #illiterate,” he said. “Both in the literal sense & in the sense of being historically illiterate & having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

Mr. #Trump is greatly misinformed about #Canadians wanting Canada to be the #USA's 51st state. Well, he's greatly misinformed about most things, but this is recent.

Mr. Trump, please find a good book on each of the following points, and get one of your #toadies to read it to you:

1) None of Canada's 10 #provinces and 3 #territories is named The #Sudetenland.

2) The last time a #US #president decided he'd like to take over #Canada, we marched to #Washington and burned it to the ground. You might have heard a song we wrote about it.

3) We're the reason the White House is white. It didn't start out that way.

Jingoism, bluster, lies, delusions, and dementia isn't a great combination of characteristics for a U.S. president. Why'd you Americans decide to add "convicted felon" and "sex abuser" to that list?

The U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that 54% of adult Americans cannot read above a sixth-grade level. There's similar numbers even for Canada. Approximately 26% of US adults are functionally illiterate, meaning they cannot read and comprehend relatively short texts or understand basic vocabulary. #reading is #knowledge and #power #illiterate

Friday night in Austin, TX, the Republican presidential nominee, Donald #Trump, fiercely criticized #TheAtlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, over a recent report about Trump’s troubling attitude toward the #military, which he believes should be loyal to him personally. As Goldberg reports, Trump said, “I need the kind of generals that #Hitler had,” which is both chilling & historically #illiterate.

The Atlantic · Trump Attacks The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg Over HitlerBy David A. Graham

#ICYMI, Pete Davidson of #SNL fame tells radio host #Opie (oops! Correction. I heard this on the radio today, but he said it EIGHT YEARS AGO in 2015) that "Donald T**** can't read."

This bolsters my Jan 2019 Op/Ed pointing to evidence that T**** is actually "functionally #illiterate." youtube.com/watch?v=PR7cQAjZsJ
