"Cory Doctorow

Dear Comrade Trump: On this, the occasion of your 80th birthday, I write to extend my sincere thanks for all the work you have done. After decades of deadlock, you have inspired the world to action! You have done more to de-dollarise the world than any American leader in history. Without you, there would be no way that Ethiopia would be revaluing its national debt in yuan. (more)

Happy birthday, President Trump! By any measure, you have racked up a staggering number of accomplishments in your 80 years. You've managed to nullify the bulwark against fascism that our three branches of government were meant to provide.

You've transformed the presidency into an orgy of corruption and self-dealing that would make last century's robber barons blush. You've erased whatever goodwill and respect America commanded internationally, and ceded our relevance in the realms of science, medicine and climate technology for the foreseeable future.

You've elevated racism

and xenophobia into law, hobbled higher education and gutted women's rights. The sheer quantity and variety of your assaults has rendered your detractors punch-drunk, faced with a daily choice between trying to confront your lawless Hydra and maintaining some semblance of normal life so that our kids will believe they still have a future."

Dear Donald Potus on your birthday.
Hair is wispy,
Skin's gone crispy,
Now you're 80,
Don't be so hatey."

That's a very "postwar" development.

Ethnic Cleansing the West was the primary function of the Federal government until the West had be Ethnically Cleansed.

80th birthday wishes for the morbidly obese draft-dodging geriatric racist grifting senile pedophile who bankrupted America.
