I never thought I'd see the day when a politician spewing obvious lies in an interview, engaging in ad hominem attacks against the interviewer, and storming off like a toddler would achieve anything but alienation.
But this will go mostly unnoticed by his supporters. Cue Carr threatening NBC's broadcast license in 3, 2, 1...
Most villains have at least one interesting trait.. but Fuckbrains McCheeseburger is a generic villain from a dollar store comic book written by a team of slugs.
The fact that he spent decades fucking kids with Epstein is sort of interesting. He might be eligible for some kind of "bigliest pedo rapist" award. It's interesting enough that they should release the rest of the files like they're legally obligated to do.
The Epstein list is pretty big, he shares the title of "Kiddo Didler" with at least several dozen or hundred other people just as dumb & fat & old as himself. Maybe not as powerful, but that's not something he did. He's just a useful idiot/rapist/grifter/felon.
It’s pretty clear that he was also an “Epstein organizer”, which is, incredibly, even more bad than kid diddler
Imagine the worst thing you can think of, that cretan licked it first, then sold it to the wealthiest creep.
He's still doing it, only now under the title of the president.
written by a team of slugs. Don't insult slugs, even Vogons have poetry
I didn't know I'd need my towel for this conversation. Nice. I love you!
His interesting trait is being so impressed with himself that he can't delegate to smart people to succeed, instead delegating to those stroking his ego.
I know a fuckton of folks that act just like him.
I know someone that is like him a lot. She fucking hates him though to her credit. Acts just like him though. The bloody minded schitzo that she is, and also a narcissist.
Sounds like the kind of person I fall in love with before realizing I've wasted 6 years of my life. Maybe it's why my hair stood on end when he ran for president the first time. She wasn't orange or a rapist, but she was a narcissist and BPD. Nothing against BPD, but fuuuuuck narcissists. I know they say "crazy in head, crazy in bed" (which is true for me & many others), but throws up.. nevermind. My imagination wasn't ready for that metaphor. projectile vomits
unnoticed by his supporters
I think many of his supporters will applaud him for this. The maga crowd seem very immature and childish, which is probably why they like him. They think this is the right way to act.
If they haven't changed their minds by now, nothing will.
Might as well give up on those people, at least for now. They can't be helped and they won't help.
It's up to good people to do good things whilst the rest of the world ruins the final good things we had left.
When it's finally over, if any wit or wisdom or talent or honesty is left, it'll need to be carried forward.
..so stay hydrated with clean water! We need you in the future!!
I would characterize it as more of an angry shamble than a storming off.
Shits everyone's pants, waddles off in anger & senile confusion
He walked slowly away, not a storming off by any measure.
But this will go mostly unnoticed by his supporters.
His supporters will only know about it when their right-wing propaganda channels mention it in passing but spin it so hard even the anchors get dizzy.
I thought it was telling how he kept referring to it as “your country…” instead “this” or “our country”.
It was a dirty election, and it’s happening again right now in California.
For those out of the loop they're still counting votes for the primary election in California that happened a week ago. Top two vote getters in the primary advance regardless of party. The moderate dem Becerra has already advanced, it's now down to the Republican Hilton who holds a shrinking lead and the more progressive dem Steyer who's gaining on him. Trump wants to shutdown voting so Hilton can keep his lead even though there's still millions of ballots outstanding that could very well push Steyer over the edge.
Isn't there a provision that if any candidate gets a simple majority (>50%) in the primary they win the general by default? Or did I dream that up
Dear US Americans, how is this guy still in charge? Please explain - I don't get it.
The same way UK left the EU.
Russia + facebook + corporate news media being complicit and owned.
At least that’s how we got here for the first several years. How it’s still happening is more about the news media, and the absence of it (i.e. Xitter, youtube) I think.
And let’s not pretend it’s not coming for everyone. Canada - heads up.
Because the alternate reality the right constructed for their part of the population, along with the oligarchs cooperatively capturing the democratic party and turning it into Reek from Game of Thrones.
The oligarchs.
The DOW is at 50,000!
He is not in charge. The world is a lot more complex than Trumplethinskin supposedly running the US. To be honest, he can't even run a business unless it is into the ground.
A better question is who is actually in charge.
Take it as a warning of how little each of us really understands about the way the world works.
Absolute Pussy.
