cr0y posted:So this isnt a joke, does anyone else have a "he looks like hes on LSD or psilocybin" vibe? I cant put my finger on it but jesus the main players in this thing have this general detached from reality vibe that is really sketching me out. Maybe we could make this an HBO dark comedy series. Old senile man on LSD thinks he's president, but then — plot twist — he actually is the president.

Riptor posted:I mean, I don't disagree with the thesis that this is hugely sexist but this person is forgetting that an expensive haircut was famously a big attack story against John Edwards in the 2008 primaries Somewhat understandable in his case since his haircut looks like Lego hair and is indistinguishable from every other generic white dude haircut that can be had for $12.

Someone posted this verse from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in this thread. It was stuck in my head and causing me to laugh in meetings for the last few days, so I decided to complete it. Picture yourself in an oval-shaped office With tangerine skin and marshmallow thighs You pick up the phone, someone answers quite swiftly And brings you some burgers and fries Golden rain showers from platinum-blonde teens Outpouring over your bed Think of the girl with Ivan in her name And you come Donnie in Moscow with crimes Donnie in Moscow with crimes Donnie in Moscow with crimes Ah Follow him down to a golf course in Florida Where GOP nazis fellate Russian spies Everyone smiles at your grift superpowers That ensure a Kurdish demise New York Times op-eds appear and are sure You became POTUS today Read from the notes without making GBS threads your pants And they fawn Donnie in Moscow with crimes Donnie in Moscow with crimes Donnie in Moscow with crimes Ah Picture yourself in a Fox TV station Where wonder bread boomers tweet Markov chain lies Suddenly someone is there dropping freestyles The mayor with another surprise Rudy in Moscow with crimes Rudy in Moscow with crimes Rudy in Moscow with crimes Rudy in Moscow with crimes

Amazing Zimmo posted:https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1183460695578415106 It’s a Straussian comment on the electoral college. Support and enthusiasm is not related to people but to an unpopulated swath of land drowning in chemicals.

No way that is a real person on the bottom right. They just took that little mutant version of Marlon Brando from the set of the Island of Dr. Moreau and slapped a Republican wig on it.

oxsnard posted:I'm fully convinced that whether Trump goes out via impeachment or losing in 2020, we're going to see violence from the Cliven Bundy types and the Nazis. Trump will encourage it as well. The question to me is if it becomes a fringe thing (five percent) or more mainstream. I fear the latter Five percent of the US is sixteen million people. That would be a little more than fringe.

WorldsStongestNerd posted:Probably. He doesn't smoke or drink, though maybe he abuses other drugs. As lazy as he is, his lifestyle is probably more active than many people his age. He also has constant access to the best medical support in the world. Finally, he's powered by hatred, and if hatred can keep the literally heartless Dick Cheney alive for as long as it has, then it can keep alive the semi-sentient glob of trans fat Donald Trump.

Prester Jane posted:What a big rig driver is doing most of the time is constantly using their size/intimidating prescience to manipulate and shape traffic around them so that they always have at least one avenue of escape should they need it, doing this successfully involves a deep understanding of human psychology when traveling as a herd. Seems more like they're spending most of their time riding my rear end or boxing me in with other trucks. I suppose it still involves a deep understanding of human psychology in order to maximally terrify and piss people off.

Ice Phisherman posted:I remember having a conversation about this a few days ago. It was with a nurse who worked for twenty years taking care of patients so I take her pretty seriously. She said that Trump's behavior with being unable to recall words reminded her strongly of aphasia or maybe dysphasia, which is a more moderate version of aphasia. Aphasia is described as "the loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage." While I wouldn't be surprised if Trump is experiencing some form of brain degeneration, I also wonder how much of it is related to him being totally out of his depth and unprepared for everything. Yes, some of it reminds me of old uncle Leo who's losing his marbles. But it equally reminds me of some dipshit who stumbles into a meeting, zones out, gets put on the spot, and starts making GBS threads himself and spouting off incomprehensible garbage.

Zwabu posted:Given that Trump has tried to play it both ways "I'm with Hong Kong but ALSO with President Xi!" it wouldn't surprise me if this was a photoshop, especially considering the source. There have been a handful of nutters waving UK or US flags or Trump signs at every HK protest since the beginning of the protests earlier this year. They always attract a lot of attention on account of being ridiculous, but they don’t seem very representative and are about like Lyndon LaRouche people hanging outside a protest in the US.
