Tim Whatley posted:Mass shooting an hour ago at a church here in NH. The church was full for a funeral of a pastor who was shot and killed a few days ago. America. It feels to me like someone is imitating the double tap, which has been made popular by the military. Kill someone, or many someones, then kill people at the funeral. It's wildly disruptive to the social fabric of a community and if applied widely, a society, if people are assassinated and then people can't grieve afterwards.

I can't watch these Trump rally clips for longer than 5 seconds. It's like the AUG thread when someone posts a nerdlinger youtube clip or something. I can't stand to listen to or look at Trump at all. He's in that realm of "people I can't stand to even hear speak" that's occupied by people like Sean Hannity, Nancy Grace, Ben Shapiro and Pat Robertson. Even reading transcripts from Trump rallies hurts my brain and lately I've just been scrolling his twitter posts in this thread. I've been teetering on the edge of this for a good while but "my unmatched wisdom" was the tipping point. And to think, the State of the Union speech is approaching. My god.

Kill Bristol posted:I think Barr is probably just a true believer. I think the GOP is more full of true believers than we’d imagine in general. True believers in WHAT? I think they're true believers in money and power, but in any specific ideology I don't think so. All the good con artists are leaving because they see how poo poo is going, the former good con artists are getting up there in age and getting dumb. And they're trying to protect the dumbest man on the planet. And it's just all falling apart. The con has worked for a long time because everyone involved has understood it's a long con. You can grift, you can con, but you have to keep the status quo and be smart. But then dipshit comes in and is just trying to a short con where you leave town in the middle of the night with a bag of money you got out of the local rubes, but you can't leave town when you're president of the united states and the town is the planet. I don't know which way things are going to go, but I think we are really finally coming to the end of this chapter. Literally the least of my concerns at the moment.

If you're seeing this on a mobile and able to do so, just put on spotify or whatever music player you use (I have a preference for the BlackPlayer EX since I still buy like 90% of the music I listen to off of Bandcamp or Google Play) and take a walk for like an EP, an album or a playlist, depending on your condition/health.

Trump is a absolute loving dimwit and is probably going to destroy America due to his outright blatant stupidity, and people in the country are too ignorant to care about that. That's my rant for the day. I look forward to the talking heads in four years time saying "of course his brains were leaking out, everyone knew that"

Wark Say posted:Please don't become your AV. What, an incurable alcoholic or eaten by a shark? I unplug a bit from time to time but I'm like a junkie who's surrounded by heroin. I live in NE Florida and there a LOT of Trumpists here along with mega church going types who constantly trigger my desire to use. I don't mainline it as of now, I'm just snorting it and scheduling off days and down hours to control my disease. I have an 8 year old son whose future concerns me a great deal and, like most people, am overworked, underpaid and feel utterly powerless. I work 40-50 hours a week and am still in debt, much of it from my son's medical bills brought about from his epilepsy. I listen to a lot of comedy and funny podcasts at work to at least keep me laughing so I'm not "using" 24/7. It's just frustrating is all. This president is a loving joke and a criminal and was a criminal joke before the election who never should have been taken seriously on any level, let alone elected. The american populace is a dangerous combination of willfully stupid, terribly under educated and overworked and busy to the point of a sort of desperate ignorance that's almost impossible to ignore. I feel sometimes like I live on an island where I'm the only person who thinks that FB, Twitter, reality television and Instagram are all poo poo poison - teetering on the edge of being a cranky old man - and just can't figure out where people's loving priorities lie anymore or how to relate to a world where 2 out of every 5 of people not only takes this President seriously, but think he's AWESOME. Roughly half the people I speak to about it suggest I either go to church, work harder or get therapy (as if I can afford therapy). I DO suffer from depression but at what point is it my illness and at what point is it genuinely depressing poo poo? These loving rallies, man. And tweets...I just...this is the president of the united states not some radio jockey or cable access loon. I'm just floating in the sea after the Indianapolis sinking, watching people around me screaming while being eaten and hoping none of those sharks feel like biting me next even though they're nibbling and circling. TL/DR: Quint went down fighting

Uh, he reads teleprompters. He's incredibly lazy and incurious, he can't be bothered to read documents because there aren't TV cameras or a cheering crowd to reward him for wheezing through teleprompter lines. He doesn't get any narcissistic supply of attention so he's not going to read anything.

He can read, but it takes a ton of mental effort for him to do and he's lazy as poo poo so he avoids it if possible. When it isn't possible like when he's going off a teleprompter he has demonstrated that he can't read and think at the same time.
