it's more comfortable for some people to imagine that people like trump are some geniuses pulling strings rather than the truth that most of the world is controlled by old white greedy men who are also complete dumbasses

That's why he's in bed with Russia: They were the only ones who would finance him. RIGHT NOW he's clearly a walking corpse suffering from advanced dementia, but back then, he knew what he was getting into.

padijun posted:he's legitimately too dumb to know what's going on around him though. what's going to do him in, if anything, is the obstruction of justice(?) for firing comey. like you can't fire the guy investigating you to turn the heat down, even if you didn't actually meet with boris badinov during the RNC And I totally agree, the Russia thing probably doesn't hold enough water legally to have him hanged for treason, in spite of my wishes. Obstruction of justice that he admits to on tape in the Oval Office and lets get put into official memos and then also literally tweeting about the subject braggadociously? That's pretty clean-cut impeachment poo poo. Which is sad, because if Trump goes down for that, he doesn't take everyone else with him and we get President Pence. If the massive web of Russian money gets traced and it ties in to Ryan and McConnell and Pence and poo poo, we might stand a fighting chance.

Trump asked Russia to hack the Democrats in a speech or a press briefing. In public I mean. There's a lot that he's said that is given the benefit of the doubt because everyone knows he's too stupid to be truly nefarious.

He's always been a dumb conman trying to crack into the old money scene but he's not exactly subtle about it.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think he was ever particularly smart. It's just that his brain is riddled with holes now.

Except even if it did, liberals wouldn't push the issue in those cases. They don't want Trump out because he's evil, they want him out because he's an idiot who disrupts the decorum. Smart political operators who maintain decorum are to be given every professional courtesy regardless of ideology because liberals believe those are people who can be reasoned with.

Neither is GOOD and both are scathing indictments of what a failure of a man Trump is, but one is Actual Treason and the other is just kinda normal espionage happening with a hilarious context.

There are still people who think the scene where he yells at the sorority bimbo is powerful. They didn't get into the Sex and the City fanfiction subplot.

Henchman of Santa posted:Yes. There are still people who think the scene where he yells at the sorority bimbo is powerful. The sketch where he has a lecture at two extremes was kind of huge for a while and was kind of a weird prelude to the "Make America Great Again" stuff.

Haven't listened yet but Newsroom is a classic example of "journalists love thing that fellates journalists" and explains at least some of its unearned status.

One of my best friends has recently been going to Sacramento pretty often to work on getting government support to unionize Telsa after being injured working there. She's been dealing with California legislators and recently gave a speech at some gala. Yesterday she was trapped in an elevator for a few hours Just putting that out there
