No cap, I've kinda missed Trump telling on himself by saying the quiet part out loud. While horrifying, it's also childlike and endearing.

If I didn't have half a functioning brain, I could totally see myself getting swept up in a MAGA riptide and drowning in a Qanon rabbit hole, just like so many REAL Americans

2/23/2022 10:32:52 AM

That's why you're not part of real America.

Trump just lost his re-election bid. I don't think he's going to be able to recover from his remarks on the invasion.

2/24/2022 7:22:58 AM

Pfft!

His base doesn't pay attention to world events and has never not been able to rationalize any insane thing he's said in the past.

You really don't know how half of America (his base) thinks, do you? What you just said there is the 2nd most ridiculous thing I have read this week, with what Trump said being the most ridiculous.

Actually, what Trump said is beyond ridiculous. He fucking talks like someone with moderate mental impairment, not just the way he talks, but also the connections he makes that are just not there and the conclusions he draws that are just not drawable. WTF did I just read???

Trump, on the Russia/Ukraine invasion:

Quote :

"“As an American, I am angry and saddened,” the former president said of the conflict. “It happened because of a rigged election.”"

It is really funny how seeing putins actions helps sharpen the focus on what they were doing with trump and Russia and the gop. Between manafort, Flynn, Roger stone, Erik prince, Steve bannon, Maria butina,and the trump tower meeting, they were aggressively and successfully infiltrating the gop and far right groups to make them sympathetic to Russia with the goal of dismantling nato and letting Russia expand into Europe.

Zelensky is making himself into a legend, and he was the one who blew the whistle on trumps attempt to withhold weapons from Ukraine. I wonder if trump decides to run again what would zelensky do?

Fuck these fucking suited oppressors for killing millions and destroying many countries.

Now suddenly they remember violations, crises, and attacks. When they were doing it, it was all good.

And fuck Putin at the same time, and throw all five of them, along with Assad and other dictators into a sealed bunker with all the food they can eat, and a few knives and hammers as well.

WTF dude. I know 0 folks on the right who have ever sympathized with Russia, and I know a lot of folks on the right. I mean shit, Romney was screaming anti Russian speech in 2012, and correct me if I'm wrong, Obama excoriated him for it.

He gave a speech in South Carolina recently saying he wants to pass a law making all executive branch employees directly fireable by the president (basically a loyalty oath) and told people to literally “lay down their lives” to keep critical race theory out of schools. Seems like a big escalation in violent rhetoric.

Well today, the Washington Post decided to run a thing about Hunter Biden and China, but I'm sure that this paragraph floating in a teacup in the middle of the sea will track.

Quote :

"The Post did not find evidence that Joe Biden personally benefited from or knew details about the transactions with CEFC, which took place after he had left the vice presidency and before he announced his intentions to run for the White House in 2020."

That said, he sure as shit wasn't getting any of that business without his last name.

And of course, zero irony from finger pointing maga-types.

3/30/2022 2:37:13 PM

Doom post:

This is it.

This is how democracy in this country ends.

The DOJ will comb through every minute of Hunter Biden’s life, all the business deals, every tax filing and parking ticket, every fart he tried to blame on someone else in the room.

It doesn’t really matter what they find, the DOJ will leak the salacious parts to the media and the rest will be insinuated on the front page of every paper. Dip shit “businessmen” will appear out of the woodwork to let you know: “ If i DId hAlF oF WHut HuNTer dID i’D Be iN FedERAl SuPErMax!1!1!1!1”

Meanwhile the DOJ, with tight lips so we never get any details, will politely decline to indict Trump, Mark Meadows, or any of their blatantly criminal gang.

The GOP will run on “Dems are corrupt!!!” For 4 years straight and will take over everything easily. Using voter suppression, election fraud, and a rigged judicial system they won’t relinquish control again in our lifetimes.

3/30/2022 3:16:37 PM

Trump already polling at 47% against Biden for 2024

3/30/2022 3:39:23 PM

People often forget about Grover Cleveland because he was so inconsequential, but Trump is hardly forgettable. Really wish I had just snuck into New Zealand in 2016 and overstayed my visa like I threatened to do...

3/30/2022 6:44:42 PM

I hope people aren't this stupid, but I know they are.

Hunter Biden is a likely a criminal and definitely a fuck-up. But he has no part in the administration or the government. If guilty, he should be punished, but the double standard is hilariously depressing.

Trump put his children and in-laws in official government roles. The guy is a comic book villain.

3/30/2022 7:13:30 PM

^^^47 percent but prob 60 percent you add ppl that voted for biden in 2020

Twitter reminding me that back in 2020 Trump signed a deal with the saudis to raise oil prices 24% (and was praised for it by Fox...) because oil was too cheap during coronavirus and this was somehow bad for someone
