😂

he does it more than anyone else, but he is not good at it.

… the question I have is why do so many people fall for his crap?!

Seriously, are so many Americans really that stupid/naive/uninformed that they swallow his garbage?

I think that far too many Americans are seriously uneducated and have little knowledge of the world. They live in their bubbles thinking the U.S.A! is the greatest country on Earth. In the real world, that’s not necessarily true. But they are impervious to reality, I guess.

What a country this has become.

Wish I had an answer

they say please sir may I have another.

they don't care what he says as long as he supports their hate.

There’s joy, excitement, challenges, adventures and happiness available all around us that can bring satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.

Living with those negative feelings must be a dark life.

along with the peer pressure.

They have never been able to look around, see the world the
way it really is, and think for themselves.

You're right. That really is a dark life.

George W. Bush got many similar passes. I remember hearing someone I knew describing why they liked W years back. He said nearly verbatim "Everybody's got someone looking out for them. George W. Bush looks out for white people." I'll just call him Clay (because that's his name), who happened to be a millionaire. I think Clay's framing on Bush was how he saw the republican party as a whole. And I know that this framing is as far from unique as you can get when it comes to white voters, and very often, Latino voters. Republicans get the age-old white man's pass in America. They get undue credit, the least amount of blame, and all of the passes.

To this day I appreciate Clay for his honesty.

Yes, but they are not swallowing it in a vacuum.

They have been conditioned for years to believe anything bad about Democrats, and conversely anything good about Republicans. And the GOP did not accomplish that without help from TVangelists and even pastors in churches all over the country. And, you know, that makes a difference. Beliefs about politics may or may not be held as sacred. Beliefs about religion always are sacred.

There is a former evangelical pastor named John Pavlovitz who now writes a Substack column which he calls "The Beautiful Mess." (Not that you need a title to find an author on Substack&gt His church kicked him out for being too Christian (he doesn't say it that way, but it's a fact.) He watched it happen a it happened, up close and personal. At least he wasn't caught by surprise - I'm afraid I was. Spinds as if you were also.

beyond bullshit to batshit.

He is a rapist, criminal, traitor.

He is an insurrectionist. Malignant narcissist.

Edited: not anymore. The introductory dead air has been removed, at least in the first clip.

Pro tip: watch these at 1.25x or 1.5x playback speed.

First contact:

the right side, and yet how his left shoulder is down, and shirt cuff not visible. And notice how dark his left hand seems compared to his right.

He'll fling an emboli or three. I'd love to see him try to give his SOTU in a wheelchair while drooling.

Who doesn't think Magic Mikey already has his lying lips warmed up to explain that to the American people?

He is hopelessly rooted in yesteryear. I would argue much of it comes from the 1920s in tales he must have learned from Fred. A laissez-faire world where government is evil, sort of an echo of the Trustbusters who got whacked. No surprise that real estate developers (Fred) and brothel owners (Friedrich) wanted the government out of their way.

They will keep him in office.

AArgh!!!

Too bad he couldn’t have played louder and longer.

His head is right on top of his torso.

How many times has he used the word "opulent"?

so he won’t forget it. Such an infantile jerk.

I would have thought "ostentatious" fits that- pretencious, better.

He has made us all look like fools.
Thanks Trump supporting, spineless republicans. We could have impeached this baffoon back when he was extorting Ukraine for dirt on Biden.

I thought Starmer this a.m. was a fierce bootlicker -- went way beyond courtesy. And we noted how djt called the king and queen by their "chummy" first names -- and kept referring to his rich friends and how he was a success on TV.

I'm nauseated.

They are basically just pandering to Reform with their insane immigration policies and refusing to tax the fucking billionaires, so instead screwing the poor and middle class.
I can’t vote in the UK yet, but there’s zero chance of me voting for them once I can unless they turn this ship around and stop blaming immigrants and the poor for every problem in the UK.

But this is a test. To suffer this fool must be painful. The endless bragging is just obscene.

I'm going to go get the treats, light some sage and pray for forgiveness now.

The media would be showing the clip over and over and Congressional Republicans would be on the floors of both houses demanding the 25th Amendment be invoked.

A technical term, but it seems like he lapses into it from time to time. Or maybe all the time.
Usually a symptom of some other problem of which there are several possibilities.

For the public, it creates the illusion of mental competence ("He can talk for hours!&quot . It reminds me of how confidence can create the illusion of workplace competence.

But then you probably knew that. 😉

And it completely ludicrous to want to reopen that place. They’d have to knock all the structures down and start new. Also, the bird population there is insane and the place reeks of bird poop. In addition, it’s an historic site, with a tourist industry wrapped around it. Such stupidity.

Renovate one cell, feed the sharks daily, and hire Arnold as Warden.

That's what I call it. There's no thought behind what he says. He just babbles on, like a a baby; incoherent.
The rest of the world is laughing at us.

so we don't have to
