A bit torn on this, tbh. 'Cause on the one hand, good - fuck that guy. He’s trash and he deserves to be thrown out for being trash. But on the other hand, as far as I’m aware, none of those priests that fucked children were excommunicated. So according to the head of the catholic church, slagging off the pope is worse than fucking children? Seems like a weird set of priorities.

It’d be wasted breath, really. Trump will never step down, because he’s trying to remain out of prison. If he loses, then there goes any chance he had at pardoning himself for his numerous crimes. So he’s not only the far and away favorite Republican candidate, but he’s also highly motivated to stay in the race for personal reasons. No appeal to his sense of patriotism will work to get him to step down because he has no patriotism. He’s in it for himself and himself only.

Biden, on the other hand, is just the default Democrat guy because he’s the incumbent, and the party figured that’d be enough to win, and so haven’t been trying very hard. And that has everybody terrified, because if he loses, then we get another 4 years of Trump, and probably never get to vote again. Basically, people are calling for Biden to step down because the stakes are way too high to fuck around.

Problem: the more people know about me, the more they despise me.

Solution: get angry at the media for telling people stuff about me.

Yeah. That checks out.

Oh, it 100% is. If being a total fuck knuckle didn’t consistently get them like ~50% of the national vote, Republicans would pivot. But they’ve realized that the worse they are, the more votes they can squeeze out of the hateful pieces of shit who infect us like a cancer.

Despite spending a lifetime living with this reality, it still seems so fucking wild to me that one of the two major political parties in this country is just entirely peopled with assholes. It’s like they have a secret competition amongst themselves to see who is the biggest bag of dicks.

I’m super disappointed in him. Was a big fan of his when I saw him run, and I really liked some of the things I heard about him, like how he got a tattoo marking the date of death for each of 9 people in his city who were murdered while he was mayor. It really made me think that he felt the heavy burden of responsibility and wanted to make the world a better place.

But this… I mean, this ain’t it. It does get a little complicated because of his stroke. I don’t know how much of the personality he’s currently displaying to the world was endemic in him before the stroke. It could be that this has been who he was the entire time, and he just hid it from the world. Either way, though, I think it’s clear that he represents a lot of unfulfilled hope. Granted, he’s likely still better than Oz, but that’s a pretty damned low bar. Fingers crossed he gets beat in the next election by someone who delivers on the hope that Fetterman originally promised.

I think you’re severely overestimating the average intelligence of the population.

This some real “Let them fight” vibes.

You certainly have a way with words, my friend.

It is true, though. If he were to run for president, he’d be the best candidate the Republican party has put forward in 2 decades. And he’s still a gigantic piece of shit.

Well, not that we needed one, but I really appreciate you giving us a reminder for why we should never ever make you president, Mittens. It’s very thoughtful of you.

Being unable to stay awake for his criminal trial is one of the least surprising things about a man whose aides had to dumb his daily presidential reports down to one page, with bright colors, pictures, and bullet points in order to get him to pay any attention to them whatsoever. You know who is surprised about him falling asleep in court? People who have paid 0 attention for the past 8 years.

Bro, it ain’t 4/20 anymore.

Looks like it’s related to this:

One thing that I was fascinated about after reading his manifesto is this part right here:

To better understand our form of government, I will point you to one of the most astonishing pieces of stand-alone evidence I’ve found: Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton’s 1988 DNC speech where he nominated Mike Dukakis for president against George H.W. Bush. The speech is a vile, mean-spirited roast of Dukakis that makes no sense whatsoever: For Clinton to ruthlessly attack a member of his own party should have been political suicide, and he repeatedly mocks Dukakis’ noble and earnest qualities.

I went back and watched that speech. It was just a really long list of reasons why he thought Dukakis would be great as president. The only thing approaching a “roast”, and not even a mean spirited one, was when he ribbed Dukakis for his loyalty to a non-Atlanta sports team.

So, like… I know this dude is totally out of this world bonkers crazy… but I can’t help but wonder what he saw in that speech that he thought was vile or mean-spirited.

I really have no idea how these two idiots aren’t in prison already. I mean, there’s the voter intimidation schemes and that time they fabricated allegations that Robert Mueller raped someone. And this is on top of Wohl committing securities fraud in 2015. The fact that they’re still breathing free air is astounding.

Ok? I fail to see how what you pointed out in any way changes my response.

I think it’s kind of hilarious that you’re arguing so angrily and vehemently that you are not throwing a tantrum right now to some random stranger on the internet who called you childish. You’re kind of making my day. <3

Honestly, my friend, you’re reading way too much into it. I expect in a desire to claw back some semblence of a win in order to salve your bruised ego, but hey - I’m not a psychologist. It was a really simple analogy. You’re just being pedantic at this point. You don’t need to find an exact parallel between every facet of the analogy and your situation for it to make sense.
