Still can’t describe him as anything less than saintly. But the fucking President posting that absolute garbage will, I’m assuming, be perfectly ok! Even really funny to a lot of people. There was a time, like literally any time prior to 2016, where a President saying something like that would have been the biggest story in the world. Because it would have meant that the most powerful person in the world was objectively insane. And the discussion would have been how to remove him from office as fast as possible.
I forget who it was on one of the Sunday shows, but they said yesterday morning that “Officials wouldn’t be speaking about the suspect so definitively if they weren’t sure they had the right guy”. Oops.
Taylor makes a good point there that I wish more would make. "I am more of a republican that Trump is."
I really wish it was talked about more that he suddenly turned into a republican when he wanted to run for office. Because he's a conman, and knew he could con republicans by pretending to be one.
Not like it matters at this point I guess.
Shit's already normalized. We're probably six months away from one of these cretins saying "All brown people need to leave the country before we start killing you all."
I have actual family members who viscerally hate Obama, and love Trump. Like if you ask them, they will tell you that Obama is Satan and that Trump is a good man. It completely blows my fucking mind.
Imagine trying to sell being close friends with Epstein for 10-15 years and NOT knowing what he was all about. Like, his main thing. His reason for living.
Like being best friends with Tiger Woods. "Wait, he was a golfer??? Well this is certainly news to me!"
Historians/teachers/students are going to be so confused in the future, if we have one.
"So they had by far the most gun deaths in the world, and they also had by far the most guns?"
"Yeah that's right."
"Um... they couldn't see--"
"Yeah, yeah, I know."
"Don't be ridiculous, he wouldn't pardon the 1/6 rioters who spent the day beating up cops. He's not a monster. Geez, don't be such a dick...."
(he pardons all the violent rioters, literally the first day on the job)
"Oh well it's perfectly fine then. Moving on...."
You know, if this were 2016, I might have a little bit more patience with these absolute fucking morons. How can you still be saying shit like that?
Trump won't go away. He's been in our faces 24/7 for over a decade and we still have tens of millions of people like "golly, I can't imagine why Trump would do something like that....". Because he's getting fucking paid, dumbass. I just don't get how you can still be confused on this after all this time.
