I think people are missing the full story about Liddle'

It's not just that he doesn't know the difference between an apostrophe and a hyphen or how to spell "described."

I think he meant "Liddle"--with quotation marks--rather than Liddle'. That's the only explanation I've come up with for him complaining that the media said Liddle, not Liddle'.

That is some full-blown dementia.


Also, I admit that I'm scared that I can crawl into his addled brain.

Hence, the apostrophe.

There's also a claim that "Liddle" is a QAnon code word, though I haven't seen confirmation of that.

Another explanation is that he's just a moron. It's not like this isn't part of a well-established pattern, though it does seem to be worse lately.

It seems evident that he has difficulty reading and spelling and gets confused when writing about his thought process. He probably knows what he wants to say, or thinks he does, but has difficulty expressing that in print.

It's very discouraging that this dumb MFer is tweeting and spewing ignorance into mics daily for all the world to see that we elected a moron to our highest office.

The electoral college has to go, the vote suppression has to go, the vote tampering, in fact the whole repug party needs to go.
