The usual cretins would be frothing at the mouth for weeks. They’d probably start a committee to investigate, because as the RW-ers are fond of saying, “the American people deserve to know the truth!” (Note the crossed fingers behind their backs as this line is uttered.)

Meanwhile, there is NO offense or crime this poseur can commit (and has committed) for which those traitors will lift a finger.

Will the military refuse an order by Trump to attack Americans if Trump paints that order in the color of the flag? Once he loses office, will he go quietly, or will he try to use the military to hold on? Really serious stuff.

was screaming through his gag, as the chyron identified Drebbin as Palazzo, while he was mauling the song.

Nothing funny about that bloated treasonous hemorrhoid pretending he's America, while he's too stupid and sucky to even bother to know the song, but Drebbin/Palazzo makes things a bit better.

it's remarkable how often he sets himself up to be mercilessly mocked.

He goes on and on about how scary sacred the fucking national anthem is... and he doesn't memorize the words to the stupid song!? WTF? This is propoganda 101.

What a bizarre asshole Trump is.

He doesn't seem to know the basic rudiments of American history - and we knew the words to that song when we sang it after the Pledge of Allegiance in the second grade.
