I really wish the “reasonable person” angle had been pushed much sooner. His insanity could have been addressed much, much sooner.
His supporters don’t care. They love the government dysfunction until it affects them directly.
And when it does affect them directly, it’s one of:
- See? The government doesn’t work so we need more privatization. Vote Republican to dismantle socialization.
- This dysfunction happened under a Democratic president who was left with a fucking mess to clean up by the former Republican POTUS, a Republican supermajority SCOTUS, and a divided Congress whose Republicans stonewall meaningful progress. Vote Republican to get the Dems out.
- It’s the (non-white) immigrants’ fault probably for stealing my socialist benefits (non-whites in general, but making it about immigration gives me plausible deniability for my obvious racism). Vote Republican to get the immigrants out.
And the damn republicans do this shit on purpose. Like fix a problem only to have it expire for the next president who likely wont be republican to fix so they can start the blame game all over. Or vote against something so they can blame the current administration for not fixing the problem.
It’s like they don’t have any useful ideas at all and run on dysfunction, fear, and hate.
“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting” told me everything I need to know about his supporters.
They’ll support literal death camps. They’ll watch you and your family crushed under a tank. They’ll say you had it coming.
They never believe that the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party meme is all about them. Even after their lose their face.
And it’s not a matter of “if” it will affect them, it’s “when”. His dumbass policies and ideas fuck it up for everyone. Well unless you’re stupid rich and maybe even then when he starts some asinine war that destroys everything.
I wish the “reasonable person” angle actually meant something in these elections. Trump has been spewing crazy unreasonable shit since the beginning of his political career and it did nothing but help him.
Incorrect …
Trump HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO, MARKETED AND PROMOTED TO spew crazy unreasonable shit since the beginning of his political career and it did nothing but help him.
There are a lot of bat shit crazy people and even politicians out there … the only difference is that most of them don’t receive million dollar marketing promotion to get to the point of leading an entire nation.
This the fallacy of thinking that one single person as the persona and power to influence entire groups of people … it’s the other way around, entire groups of people influence one person to lead them
This isn’t one shitty person … it’s an entire community of shitty people funded by a core of very wealthy shitty people
His insanity could have been addressed much, much sooner.
“Insanity” doesn’t mean anything from a political perspective. Its a generic invective that politicians use on one another routinely. Sanders was “insane” for being a Far-Left Antifa Socialist. Rick Santorum was “insane” for taking the bible as literally as the rest of his Opus Dei fan club. McCain was “insane” for repeatedly advocating we escalate conflicts with Iran, Russia, and China (oops! looks like he was right all along). Hilary was “insane” for something something her emails Comet Pizza Benghazi.
Trump got caught dead-to-rights bragging about sexual assault and he still won the majority of white women voters. There were no magic words you were going to say in 2016 that would have made him not be President, after that. It was purely a question of volume (sheer number of people screaming at Hilary versus people screaming at Trump) over content. MAGA was louder, so he won.
Too true, the cult of personality is real.
No reasonable person ever voted for Trump in the first place. Nothing he could do well even l ever change their minds.
The first time I can sorta forgive. They at least had hope he would be decent and do things differently. Even though any semiconscious person could see the writing on the wall. The second or third time, there is more than amble evidence as to what as asshat he truly is.
It’s not like Trump wore a tan suit or asked for dijon mustard.
Never Forget.
The $100,000 watch was made in the part of Switzerland that’s in China. Beautiful sweatshops, very special.
No… Not made in Wyoming. That’s where the LLC is, but not the actual manufacturing facility.
Its amazing how much they hated him and how normal he was to the point they never even got an impeachment thing really going even though they try to impeach at the drop of a hat.
I mean, I only every noticed quick impeachments happening after Trump was rightfully (in my opinion) impeached, and Biden took office. Since then, it has all been retaliation for impeaching Trump.
Clinton was impeached for giving an intern a cigar.
Clinton should have been impeached for the ridiculous power imbalance but Repubs are pretty comfortable with rapey situations and full-on rapists so they went with something else.
that happened from a side comment during an investigation he was completely cleared for.
Only Republicans would say someone is unfit to run the country because they fucked their intern, and then hand the keys to a idiot so that he can fuck the country. I was making the point that the Republicans have always been like this.
well that was not the reason. it was honestly sorta stupider. it was because during an investigation of questionable merit to begin with he lied to congress about his relationship with his intern. That is what they impeached on when the investigation completely cleared him of the original thing (whitewater).
Obama would have been in neverending impeachments. Shit, they probably already have paperwork ready to go for the second Harris becomes president.
I’d be weary of Obama cracking jokes about Trump though. Last time he did that to a crowd of people (who all laughed in Trump’s face) it was shortly before Trump became president.
Ehhh, Obama was a bastion of professionalism through some of the vilest shit said about him in public by other “professionals” for more than 8 years. He can say whatever he wants about Trump or anyone else, and he’s still super tame about it.

that was
like 1013 years ago and trump is becoming more senile by the day. I think they are trying to goad him into more public appearances to highlight that.Last time he did that to a crowd of people was shortly before Trump became president.
well, no. last time he did that was about a month ago at dnc, where he laughed at the size of trump’s dick 🤷♂️
The pedantic wing is that way ->
If he had, liberals would right it off and excuse it
Nope.
Edit:
Menendez? Where’s he now?
As the other commentor said, Blagoyavich?
How about Anthony Weiner? Didn’t see anyone come to his defense. Do you even know who that is?
Stay on topic now, this post is about Obama
Are you for real?
Yes, colonialist is that stupid.
Can you not read the post title?
Removed by mod
No judgement intended here, English might not be your primary language, but it’s “write it off”, not “right it off”.
Voice typing doesn’t know the difference
So then why not proof-read what you post? If you don’t care enough to proof-read it, why should we care to read it?
It could have been spelled correctly with every I dotted and every T crossed and it wouldn’t matter. Liberals often deflect from the topic to arrogantly correct something
Aren’t you deflecting by your response to their question?
No, that’s the reality
If anyone is being an arrogant son of a bitch It’s you.
Yeah… That certainly says a lot now.
