WHEREAS everything we’d normally say about substantial issues would be a pure bullshit waste of our time and yours
WHEREAS no one who gives a single millifuck could conceivably be persuaded by our case on its merits

So half of the key speakers for their convention is literally the Trump family? Do these whackos not understand that the United States of America is not a monarchy?

He is something much less than a moron. But him saying this works, on the sorts of people who’d watch Fox News.
If you’re too addled by inattention, advanced age, spite, pills, booze, and lack of education to follow a sentence from one end to the other, then all you retain is a vague sense that certain nouns go together; in this case “Hunter Biden” and “nepotistic grift”. Having Diaper Don on the screen only serves to amplify the latter.
