It's all petty bullshit, and HW was a war criminal who should have been wheeled into a furnace while still alive. But it's still fascinating how much of a Martian Trump is, totally incapable of faking the decorum stuff. Affluenza is real, it just means you should be punished 20xa as hard

Dapper_Swindler posted:agreed but i'll be cool with any opportunity the media has in taking shots at the stupid rear end in a top hat. End of the day Trump isn't funny for the same reason cancer isn't funny. It's too real and too personal and too impersonal and too awful and too terrible. Of course you can make jokes around cancer and jokes around Trump and I watch Colbert every night and it helps but the horrible reality remains regardless of your coping strategy.

You gotta remember that conservatives have been branding themselves as counter culture since the 90's political correctness push. Like, they're not, they're profoundly regressive and rigid, but they very much have convinced a huge amount of their demographic that ACTUALLY they're rebels and cool and if everyone's calling them a stupid rear end in a top hat that just means they're winning baby

Deified Data posted:Trump being bored out of his mind and completely zoned out at a dead rear end in a top hat's funeral is like one of the few relatable things about him and his completele unwillingness to lie about how lame he thinks it all is is at least marginally more worthy of respect than everyone else in the room tripping over themselves to perform

I think it's worth mocking trump for the not putting his hand on heart thing because that's precisely the sort of thing his supporters (and him) would have pounced on Obama for. Anything that highlights his hypocracy is a good thing imo.

Yinlock posted:political correctness is a conservative concept, because they kept getting in trouble for saying the racist parts out loud no the 90's for sure had a 'pc age' element to them as neoliberal ideals pushed people to focus on extremely easy public facing efforts to show they're accepting and nice. Of course it was mostly completely meaningless things and the 'rebellion' to them was just tantrums over nothing but the 'pc culture' thing was a concentrated push.

BarbarianElephant posted:But doncha know he wants to have sex with his daughter quote:This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas. The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumor campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his own barnyard sows. I don't know, LBJ was ok with doing that kinda of poo poo.

A United States President not understanding how to attend a funeral mass, which is what we're seeing, is funny enough to make a few jokes about, I think, but the idea it's outrageous and disrespectful is the liberal nonsense sexpig is talking about. It's really not hard to move your mouth like you're singing the hymn, it's something most fourth graders learn when they have to attend a friend's grandparent's funeral. It's illustrative of how out of touch he is and it's funny/horrifying to watch his doddering solipsism, even at the funeral for a war criminal CIA rear end in a top hat.

The media is the one pearl clutching over disrespect; those of us here just think it's funny to watch Big Boy Donny try to avoid making GBS threads himself for two hours, and the idea that the media is at all liberal is pretty drat funny.
