I had this same thought, but I'm assuming he also has to have Secret Service standing directly outside the door while he's in there knowing they can hear his rear end blowing the place up. Trump is in some temporary bit of hell and he deserves every second of it.

Isn't it even worse than that for the Secret Service? I remember reading once (don't remember source, so might have been BS) that in situations like that with the president they have to go in afterwards and make sure no...evidence...is left behind that an enemy could use to get medical info.

I want to know the point in Christian empathy for others where the viciously open hatred that Trump espouses causes them to finally question whether or not they're truly following their book's message of love and acceptance or follow a hate-monger who does anything possible to poo poo on the message that book teaches.

But we all know that point clearly doesn't exist for them. God be damned. Fat hate man is their new messiah.

Christianity is a way for them to be less scared of death. There is no greater rationale to it beyond it also being a "cultural" marker for them to base their identity off of.

If these people didn't have the white Christian American identity and metrics to live their lives by, they would be completely lost. The appeal is that there's a social structure that tells them everything they "should" be and what constitutes being happy and fulfilled. IE, married, children, owning a house, a car, having a job that pays decently in a "respectable" career (in other words, something that wouldn't be embarrassing by that same social metric), wearing certain clothes, liking certain things, having certain beliefs, etc. and that in the end they will be rewarded for hitting all the bullet points.

This is why they're insanely sensitive about people being "anti-white" (lol) or how they think diversity is destroying their identity, because they place the entire value of their lives on that extremely narrow status quo. You're attacking all the things they consider important and essential to life, which scares them because it undermines the thoughtless way they go about their identity. If they ever had to think about what they actually wanted, or thought about how arbitrary and meaningless most of the social mores and expectations they abide by are, it would tear down their entire sense of self and they'd be forced to think and feel about the world in an honest, genuine way, rather than brushing those questions off by using dogma and tradition as a shield.

It's why those "conservatives are happier" studies are bogus, besides them being done by entities with ulterior motives, to these people happiness is a quantifiable state of being achieved by reaching certain goals versus an actual, persistent emotion you feel.

So really, all of them are just scared shitless that the world is complicated and doesn't vindicate all their beliefs, so clearly there is a conspiracy undermining the truth because accepting that they're blobs just living the lives they do out of fear and a need to have someone give them all the answers is far beyond their ability to emotionally process.

They’re setting the stage for a Jan 6 redux. It doesn’t excuse those cretins, but they were so siloed in the rear end in a top hat of conservative media that they literally couldn’t comprehend Trump getting less than 80% of the popular vote. Ergo, Biden could have only won by cheating. How he managed to pull this off with Trump in charge and Republicans controlling most of the machinery to run the elections is… HEY THE GREEN M&M ISN’T WEARING BOOTS ANYMORE

Good, let them try. Jan 6th only had the marginal success it did because the guy who was in charge of deploying the defenses didn't.

Let the chuds try to breach an actually defended Capitol and see how far their military cosplay gets them.

I saw a (possibly apocryphal) story once about a construction crew that accidentally hooked their industrial air compressor to a sewage line, pressurizing the line and causing toilets in nearby buildings to flush backwards. Energetically.

Not sure why I remembered that just now.

I'll tell you a true story that happened to me. Some plumbers were doing some work next door and pumped some air into the pipes to flush em out. Due to some illegal plumbing the previous owners of my house (and current owners of next door's house) had done our pipes are connected and I came home to find my house full of sewer gas and a toilet that had exploded. Thank God I flush religiously.

Yep. Thank you. It's incredibly frustrating to be on the other side of their coin but I've been repeatedly told by some family members to please give up and stop trying to use things like facts and reasoning with those in the family who are still fully invested in their cult. I've repeatedly been told that facts hold no power against those who have dedicated their lives to a cult but I wanted to believe otherwise. I wish I could have done more but it's not in the cards.

Also great that for literal generations now, no Trump has figured out how to look busy other than dressing up and sitting at a desk with papers.
