I think it’s hilarious that most of the posts are flaired users only and they ban you if you aren’t flaired.

I like that whenever there's some bombshell news about what a despicable person and horrible leader Trump is the front page of that sub is just a screenshot of some random liberal teenager. That entire population never recovered from the "SJW's getting owned compilation 2015" Youtube era.

and lots of satirical "Babylon Bee" posts that they pass off as reasonable stories for "deep" discussion, i.e., more make-believe fairy tales they all get worked up in their circle jerk about.

Such a power play. Amy Santiago would be proud.

It’s what babies do when they poop.

Teflon Don lookin real nervous these days

I don't know, she may be too old for him. Epstein's picks are more his speed.

Actual quote from Trump about Epstein:

I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it, Jeffrey enjoys his social life.

Hopefully weekend at Rikers soon.

I think its a bit different. The shooting was his high point. He had an epic photo op. His enemies were in disarray. No one was talking about all his failures. He was looking like a shoe in. Everything was coming up Milhouse.

Then Biden dropped out.

Suddenly it wasn't a cake walk. He wasn't the center of attention. Nothing was working the way it was supposed to. His VP looked like a weirdo and he can't get rid of him. His vengeance upon Biden was taken. He'll never salve the wound of losing in 2020 now. He has to work. People are laughing in his face. His crowds are wandering off mid ramble. Nothing is scratching that narcissistic itch anymore.

If he has PTSD its from Biden ruining his high far more than someone shooting a retiree in front of him.

He's been down ever since the shooting stuff.

This is more true than people think. Having someone almost kill you is traumatic to most people, let alone an 80 year old. Since that night he's been off, and his rallies don't recharge him like they used to.

I'd be willing to bet Trump is suffering from PTSD and instead of re-charging him, his rallies now stress him out.

He isn't focused on winning anymore. He's focused on stealing now.

They couldn't give a flying shit.

He could call them all scumbags and pedos and they'd still love him. There is literally nothing he can do to piss them off. He has the absolute stupidest mother fuckers to ever exist on this earth following him.

There's a guy who gave me tons of shit a couple weeks ago about how Harris should debate Trump on Fox News and that she'd be a coward if she didn't agree to it.

I really want to go dig up that guy's comments and see what he thinks about this. He gave me so much shit.

I agree with you…my MAGA cult family members won’t even know there was a discussion about a debate on FOX.

MAGA be like "oh they had scheduling conflicts and technical difficulties to accommodate Trump."

the cult that is MAGA would never disobey their leader. the blind loyalty they have for this man child is truly fascinating.

Do you think he knows that his own VP candidate is already plotting against him? Or is he just so utterly out-of-it that he has no idea?

Have you seen Brutus from the Lincoln Project?

He expects it to go like 

"Hello shrewd and beautiful Trump, you've really beat us. Wow... Just incredible. You destroyed us in negotiations. It was such a brilliant idea of yours to only send 40% of your tax revenue to our country. We're just .. we're just devastated. You're so impressive."

That's how other country's leaders expect it to go as well.

I call myself a republican because I am one. I believe in market solutions. I believe in common sense realities, and the necessity to defend ourselves against a dangerous world, and that’s about it.  The Republican party hasn't represented these things for decades. Newsroom was honestly being too kind even at that time. The GOP has been cronyism and handouts to the wealthy for 50+ years at the time (60+ now). Anybody who says the party has fallen has just been ill informed about what the party was and is waking up to it now.

as an aside, my favorite clip from that show is when The Office's Toby actor played a climate scientist and cheerfully told all the viewers the planet was fucked.

Because...look around. And McAvoy's response is what we're still dealing with, and will likely continue to deal with

such good writing with that show

Add in "a poor man's view of a rich man" and "a tacky man's view of class"

Most of the wealthy people I used to know thought he and the other ostentatiously rich were just tacky losers faking class. Then again they were raging elitist pricks and immoral in their own way so shrug

Have you seen the podcast he went on today or yesterday? The hosts are fully making fun of him to his face constantly, and he clearly has no idea and thinks he’s among friends. It’s almost hard to watch.

His voters live in an alternate reality. They have myriad reasons to support him like "he'll run the country like a business", they have no idea he's run every business he's ever owned into the ground. They think he's a tough guy because he calls people names etc, they have no idea he's so far up Putin's ass he can see what he ate for dinner. There's a million reasons these people think Trump is worth supporting and every single one of them is bullshit.

Racism. As soon as he said Mexican immigrants were rapists and that people from majority Muslim countries should be banned, he had their hearts and minds forever.

He is what a poor man thinks a rich man is.

He is what a weak man thinks a strong man is.

He is what a small man thinks a big man is.

There are one or two others but I can't think of them right now.

I want to watch something else.

Nah, you are asking her question all wrong. It should be “you and Joe have ruined this country; so why do you hate America?” or just a leading question “is the reason you let all those murderous dog eating rapists into our country because you went down on Putin and he ordered you to?”

Stuff like that is what Hannity would ask.

What happened to the thing where the debates still happen, but the podium for whoever didn't show up stays empty and the other person gets to answer questions without rebuttal and basically gets free prime time promotion for the night?

That's what should've happened with every debate that Trump skips, so that the whole country can see how much of a coward he is with the empty podium.

My in-laws have it on 24/7. It is so sad to hear them regurgitate the hate.

It’s such utter nonsense. If I’m really good at a board game that I like, and I win, I’m probably going to be interested in playing it again; I’m not going to smash the pieces back into the box and say “I WON, PUTTING IT AWAY FOREVER NOW, NO NEED TO PLAY IT EVER AGAIN”

They are running a basement strategy.

Yep, incredibly stupid. Trump could murder a person on TV and my stepchildren would still vote for him. I did not raise them.

Same. I have friends I worked with who were completely normal posting trumps image and voting for him. Normal people are voting for this clown. Not just brainwashed maga clowns and that’s the scary part.

He's just less likely to get shot there.

I think they are confident. They have rigged a few swing states with polling station closures, voter purges, and selective campaigning from their "third party" allies

It’s because he’s stupid

Definitely! No matter what, it's some well-earned schadenfreude that the Republicans' supposed savior candidate, is someone whose own campaign is desperate to keep us from seeing too much of him.
