Well, much like a stable, he IS full of horse jive.

I wonder what it would take for Futurama to go back and redo some Head of Nixon storylines with the Head of Trump.

I'd rather they not give him the attention.

Of course, I'd rather nobody but the Department of Justice give him any attention, but.

FB friend:
No one ever talks about how expensive it must be for a Trump supporter to maintain his pro-Trump bona fides.

Between the ridiculous oversized pickup truck, the stupid red-light scrotum-tanning machine, the weird Jordan Peterson webinars about masculinity and Bible study, the massive amount of meat they have to consume, the worthless stockpile of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, the endless string of campaign donations, the piles of made-in-China MAGA merchandise, the idiotic Trump NFT, the funeral for that uncle who died of Covid after the Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin didn't work, and the funeral for your dad who got Covid from attending your uncle's funeral, it must be quite expensive to be a true believer in Trumpism.

I've just realized how often this sort of thing happens. Trump is seen associating with this or that problematic person, gets called on it, denies he knows who the person even is... and he's just dumb enough that he always has plausible deniability. We could put the classified-documents incident in this folder too; a lot of people even on this board were saying it's just as likely he didn't realize (at the time, at least) that he wasn't allowed to take those.

But that in itself is a problem. Anyone who has a consistent pattern of unknowingly doing things he's not supposed to be doing isn't really any more trustworthy than someone who does it on purpose. And in Trump's case, it's hard to say which has been a bigger problem so far.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.
Citizen
Yeah, but the human brain is wired such that malice and outright incompetence trigger two different responses. When we think that person not only doesn't know better, but CAN'T know better, it triggers empathy. It quells the rage you should be feeling at such a gross overstep that apparently no one caught until too late.

Again, LET THEM TRY. It failed last time, and they even had the commander-in-chief on their side.

I'm absolutely more worried about the possibility of him winning the actual election than what his followers will do if he doesn't.
