My point in bringing up the Tea Party Protests was really to ponder what that mindset must have been like. This thread is a direct reaction to every asinine thing Trump does, with a very clear anti-Trump slant. I'm wondering if this is how the Tea Partiers genuinely felt when Obama was in charge?

lol someone at a local dentist's office near me shot himself in the leg a few months back because he was concealed carrying. Fishin' in his pocket for something, and shot himself right in the drat leg

You might ask "why didn't he have the safety on?" but you're already making the mistake of inquiring about logic with a man who thought he needed a gun to defend himself from tweens getting braces

We are reacting to the hilarious mistakes, breaches of protocol, and blatant dementia-inspired power-grabs of Trump.
Those people were getting their pants in a bind over Obama taking advantage of loopholes in law, consolidating power, and quashing rights of ordinary citizens that they were speculating would happen.

I occasionally fall into a hole of depression and I've found the best way to claw my way out of it is to browse /r/EDC and suddenly I feel better about my own life decisions.

For instance, I'm glad I've never met a 'techincal recruiter' that feels the need to carry a pistol, extra magazine, two to three knives, hand lotion, "tactical" MAGA and Gadsden flag patches, and, probably worst of all, a Kindle keyboard.

The biggest difference seems to be that Trump's detractors think he's a loving imbecile. And Obama's critics think he's too drat smart for his own good.

The major unifying complaint of republicans is that their opponents think they're so smart and are so drat smug about it. It's because most of them are idiots.

I think a lot of the mindset behind the EDC crowd especially those posting pictures of all the unnecessary poo poo people feel the need to carry around at all times is to show how much more responsible and prepared for stuff they are than the lazy liberals.

My favorite thing about POTUS Donny Yeeze Triggidy is that no matter how dumb the thread derails become he forges ahead, GLORIOUSLY, and soon all the trash bag opinions get steamrolled because he, like, just passively records his office because he's a demented creep, or tries to cyber-bully the the FBI and they respond by dunking on him so hard that it might have torn open a portal in time big enough for Samurai Jack to get back to the past and go back in time to stop Aku from becoming President.

Isolated and agitated, Trump rattles White House from within

Washington (CNN)A buoyant President Donald Trump reemerged into public for the first time in more than a week on Friday, offering few signs of the malaise that has gripped his administration since the hasty dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.

"It's such an honor to be here," Trump declared to a group of military mothers gathered in the East Room for a Mother's Day event. "So bright and festive."

Downstairs, the mood was anything but.

In conversations with multiple advisers, conducted on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, officials described to CNN a sense of dejection within the West Wing ranks, where most aides were caught off guard by Trump's decision and had little ability to develop a cogent response. Even Vice President Mike Pence, who found his public statements again undercut by Trump himself, was "a little rattled" at the events of the week, according to an administration adviser.

Through it all, Trump has remained largely out of sight, not leaving the White House once since he returned late Sunday night. He grew increasingly isolated and agitated, associates tell CNN, going a full week without hearing the applause and adulation that often brightens his mood.

AHAHAHAHAHA senile dementia worsening because Bonald Jajinga Truimp has not gotten his hourly dosage of applause and loving retard adulation BOO HOO

LOL

EDIT: "It's such an honor to be heee hu hu hu hu *breaks down into pathetic sobbing*" :laffo:

obama straight up alley ooped the party nomination for the 2008 election from political superstar Hillary Clinton using a platform of 'i'm black yall' and despite being a two term senator nobody with the name 'terrorist o muslim' who despite not doing much managed to get his dick sucked entirely through his eight years in office, win a nobel peace prize for figuring out how to bomb people with robots and, personally won the war in iraq by ordering the attack on bin laden. he worked incredibly hard on legacy and image and he's the best president we've ever had or whatever because of it. you really cant say the guy doesn't have a sense of smugness about him and i mean rightly so he played the game pretty well. trump isn't playing the same game though

what are the chances trump realized that obama was probably the craftiest and smoothest motherfucker in the DNC and that if some milquetoast rear end out of touch coastal socialite could half rear end social appearances with a stick up his rear end and get applauded like that then he could top it, easily. the actual government plan was secondary
