You're forgetting that not only did he look, while squinting without protective glasses, twice, at the eclipse, he also pointed at it with arm and finger to aid others in locating the sun.
Yeah I got banned from r/politics because, I shit you not, someone said “orange is sus” and I responded “Does that mean we can push him outta an airlock?” … I mean really?
I was checking on reddit, found a story about Feinstein's death, and apparently you're not even allowed to say you're indifferent to someone's death from natural causes now.
If I had the choice I’d rather we build something where no one like him would ever hold public office ever again, and him living in the 200 years. I don’t care about his miserable little life nor person. Fix the loopholes so the rest of us improves.
He is and always had been a symptom of a deeper problem with American culture.
I don’t know why so many people are celebrating deaths here (cf Feinstein’s death). It’s bizarre and macabre.
The whole thing was, if possible, even dumber than people think.
Can't find the video any longer, all you can see now is Trump on the podium saying stupid shit, you miss the context.
Trump's taking the stage, ill prepared as always, when he stops for a few moments to read a CDC infographic on ways to sterilize surfaces. Then he just turns on his mouth and lets it run.
God help me, there's nothing more I can add to illustrate how idiotic it all was.
Indeed, being seen as "too" smart can hurt you with the GOP base, which suspiciously eyes intelligence as a gateway drug to rationality.
This is an epic quote. Succinct, biting, and true. When I was growing up, the left was demonized for putting feelings over facts, but now the shoe is in the other foot. “Don’t confuse us with facts,” is clearly the sentiment of the Trumpet base.
I think he might actually be starting to crack under pressure, he's been saying some weird shit for him to say lately, and he says some weird shit as it is.
Agreed. People should have a look at old videos of him in interviews. He could string coherent thoughts together.
What's really stunning is reading a speech transcript. When you listen all you hear is, "bla, bla, bla". Reading it is a whole 'nother experience. Fragmented, incoherent, rambling, frightening.
Don't take my word for it folks! Give it a try yourself.
His crimes were committed while he was President, so the fact that he wasn't removed from office under the 25th Amendment should be prima facie evidence of his fitness for prison.
Obama essentially single-handedly made Trump do all this because Trump couldn’t handle a joke at his expense. Trump got voted out, including by fed up members of his own party, and somehow Trump has beaten Obama in any way whatsoever? LOL
edit: also hard to believe he’s beaten GWB in any way considering how many people were like “wow GWB seems kinda reasonable in hindsight now”
Trump was in narcissist hell there. Trapped, literally nothing he could do but grit his teeth. Keep in mind, a narcissist is literally incapable of self deprecation, unable to even pretend. Probably hadn't been so impotently humiliated since his school days. Those 5 minutes changed history.
The question is whether Trump can beat ALL 91 felony indictments. Trump may get 4 more years, and another 4 more years, repeated 90 more times. Other claims, easily disproven, are smoke and mirrors.
That still doesn't preclude him from serving as President. Federal charges would have to end in conviction before he's potentially elected or he'll just pardon himself.
Also, one trumper on a jury is all it takes for him to escape justice. I doubt he'll be convicted. Unfortunately.
He was always a moron, from a very young age. If his daddy hadn't given him money, Trump would be nowhere. He'd be the dumbest, laziest guy in some prison somewhere as a repeat offender with a history of fraud.
Shut the fuck up with the both sides are bad shit. One side wants to raise taxes, the other one wants to kill trans people and take away minority rights. Here's a hint, its no the democrats that are trying to kill trans people or do other groups harm.
Yet those same Democrats that you claim want to protect the trans community have done fuck all to protect the trans community. How long ago did bathroom build conversation start, and what exactly have Democrats done to protect their rights in regards to bathroom use? When have they tried to increase wages so that those in marginalized communities are not living in abject poverty, without access to health care without access to mental health care, without access to affordable housing? They may talk about protecting marginalized and the trans community but they don't know shit to enshrine those rights. Someone that's openly hostile to marginalized people is less of a danger than someone that claims to be an ally that hides among us that does nothing to help our cause.
That side that you say wants to raise taxes worked directly with Mitch McConnell when he was vice president to make the Bush tax cuts for the rich permanent, they have made no effort while they control the senate in the house and had the white house to remove Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
