Confused old man fails history lesson. Gives the US credit for the Suez canal.
Lemme guess: "Just being sarcastic for the reporters"?

View attachment 64968

Actually he's right about the Suez. The Suez would get shut down if it weren't for the US military presence in the region, the 5th Fleet in particular.

Sycophant - a person who acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage
Obsequious - obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree

His followers put on diapers after he shit himself. They put on ear pacthes after he pretended he got shot.
They put on garbage bags after he drove a garbage truck for thirty feet in a parking lot.
They voted for him again after he was proved a ******, convicted of felonies.
They'll defend his lies as truths, even when it is PROVED they are lies.

You think his follwers aren't sycophants?

Again by your logic, everybody who votes is a sycophant.

someone who praises powerful or rich people in a way that is not sincere, usually in order to get some advantage from them:
The prime minister is surrounded by sycophants.

They just like assigning labels to people and trying to insult people. It's a typical pattern with people of low self esteem.

I think it's a weak come back to TDS, but clearly sycophant is inaccurate since the average Trump supporter isn't capable of courting favor from the Orange Dude. I even gave him the out of Trump Supporter Syndrome, but he refuses to take it. I don't think he's capable of admitting he's wrong.

But I thought the string of movies (ie Snow White) and series with minority and female leads were only doing poorly due to racism and sexism. I must have been wrong.

‘Sinners’ Will Barely Drop From Opening Gross In Its Second Weekend As Movie Continues To Defy Projections

Audiences and critics have raved about the movie, which has consistently beaten box office projections and has near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores.

If they've spent $100's of billions to produce the crap that passes for AI right now, then they've gotten a shyt return on money invested.

So by ignoring my request you are only proving me right. By answering you will also prove me right.
So you refuse to show me how much tin foil is in Aluminum foil. That's your ego.

Your request was answered with not one, but FIVE dictionary definitions.

We know YOU think you're smarter than the people who create dictionaries, but you're not.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

So, you think it's "deranged" to point out Trump's failing's, with PROOF that they are failings?

"Deranged" to say Trump is violating the 14th Amendment with an EO that tries to eliminate birthright citizenship?

"Deranged" to say that he is a ****** when the courts have confirmed it?

"Deranged" to say he is a 34x convicted felon, when the courts have confirmed it?

"Deranged" to say his bullshit tariff plan tanked the stock market the day it was announced, when every financial analyst in the world agrees?

What's the "deranged" part?
What is mentally disturbed, crazy, or insane about doing it?
