Have a Black trans-woman model start singing the praises of insulation and modern residential wiring.

All she has to do is declare arc-fault interrupters and proper routing of cables as woke and good, and the problem will solve itself in 3-5 years.

I don't know where that "Trump is objectively funny" as a serious right-wing talking point comes from, but it's been gaining a weird amount of momentum recently. I think it really might be all they have left as far as trying to push for him while trying to avoid coming across like a sociopath.

The covid response fell apart because chuds convinced each other that unencumbered breathing is woke.

And there's a subset of chud that thinks pasteurization is woke.

Should be much easier than convincing them healthcare, immunization, and healthy eating was woke and against their free will. Might have a greater compounding effect on the former three, too.

why are they attacking Taylor Swift anyway? because sometime in the future she will supposedly endorse Biden?

Taylor Swift is bigger than Jesus, and she hasn't worn a single swastika armband in any of her music videos so Republicans are mad. She's also dating an alpha male and not them, because they're too beta and already married to people they either hate or are bitterly divorced. It's mostly the latter.


Technically true, but it was only one fascist that worked out. The rest are all a bunch of drunk slobs who think that through by association alone they're just like the one fascist that has abs. See also: What you Think you Look Like vs. What you Actually Look Like Meal Team Six memes.

I'd imagine he'd do like my dad and nonstop look at the keyboard confused as if it's in an unknown language and then jab at it with his index fingers in hope that those actions will somehow construct legible words.

(I feel bad now because this is entirely insulting to my father and he's adept at using a keyboard and my joke was needlessly reductive of his abilities)

Its all part of the Trump show.

quote:

As the plane lifted its nose into the air, gravity pulled at the paper, and — as Trump muttered an expletive and tried in vain to stop it — the heap spilled fries-first into his lap. Though the scene was worthy of Buster Keaton, I managed to stifle a laugh, and instead wondered why this man traveled with Fibber McGee’s closet in the first place.

When he had managed to reconstruct the mountain and dispose of the waffle fries, Trump blamed the chaos on a disembodied group of tormentors he referred to as “they.” “They want me to look at documents,” he explained. But that made no sense. The world’s fastest reader could not plow through Trump’s mess in the time he would spend on his plane that day, nor would any half-competent “they” believe that the way to bring attention to a document is to bury it among reams of unrelated flotsam.

Indeed, Trump did not read anything from the paper piles. Several times during the flight he plucked a news clipping or report seemingly at random from the stack and peered at it with a puzzled look. Then he tossed it back onto the pile. The sequence repeated every five or 10 minutes until I understood completely why many in Trump’s orbit believe he is dyslexic.

But if the mass of material was not to be read, what purpose did it serve?

It was a prop, as much a part of the never-ending Trump Show as the make-believe coat-of-arms he had embossed on each leather seat. The mountain of paper showed how very busy and important its owner was.

Re: The Border Deal --

A couple weeks ago, there was a leak that Trump handed down the order that no deal could happen with Democrats in an election year. I think McConnell met with his caucus about how to change their messaging now to do this. I just do not understand how McConnell could actually go along with this. As much as I hate the man, there had always been at least an acknowledgement that he was intelligent. This path is legitimately bad. Is this just "gently caress you, got mine" turned inward?

The "mean tweets, strong country" or whatever image has been going around since the election and I think that and the "He's just joking!" poo poo won't go away anytime soon.

I'm very curious what effect the total collapse of the MI GOP is going to have.

It's a good question. It'll probably force the RNC, NRSC and the CLF to pump way more money into the state than they should have to make up for the loss of ground game and such, plus they don't get discounted advertising rates like candidates do so it'll be a fun experiment!

In addition to what other people have pointed out about how Trump isn't at all aware of whatever it is the person who set up this photo shoot placed on his desk so he looks busy, there is absolutely is zero chance in hell that Trump can type on a computer, in the traditional sense. If he can even find the letters at all (big "if") it'd be index fingers.

McConnell retains power by always doing what the majority of his caucus wants. When there’s a disagreement, they have a meeting and usually hash it out, but this time some of the MAGAs have been reportedly screaming in his face over this, which is not the usual dynamic.

Every GOP senator who is up for reelection this year doesn’t want to get attacked by Trump, and it’s a lot. Plus you have the true believers. McConnell probably personally thinks the bill should go to a floor vote, but I would expect him to do what the majority of GOP senators want him to do, because he is/was/has always been the political equivalent of a “company man.”

mcconnel probably does want to pass the ukraine stuff but i think his view is let it pass the senate and let the maga morons of the house take the blame when it gets sunk or barely passes or whatever.
