So she's too black to be president and not black enough to be black.
Right... What a racist weirdo.
Many people are saying he's the weirdest. Tremendous amounts of people are saying it.
Also a rapist.
And a fraud. And a felon. Who shits himself a lot.
Yeah, but none of that bothers his supporters as much as calling him weird. Which is pretty weird if you ask me.
Maybe it's because they're weird too? Which is also a bit weird. Do we still call them Trumpers or just weirdos?
I've been pointing out how fuckin weird it is to care about half the shit they care about for years. I work blue collar so I've learned to keep my thoughts and beliefs to myself (it's too much fuckin work otherwise), but every now and then I'd chime in with a "Why should the GOVERNMENT care about what consenting adults do?" or "Why should the GOVERNMENT have the power to dictate women's health care?" etc
It works quite well if you point out the obvious disconnect between wanting "small government" and feeling like the State should be their personal nanny/drill sergeant. I've had quite a few stereotypical conservative guys go "hey yeah that is kinda weird, fuck the gubmint". They're also typically fans of my case that I don't care what color tie a politician wears, a crook is a crook. They nod solemnly, then leave before that reaches its natural conclusion.
My two cents
True, it is bugging them.
I’m still sticking with rapist and fraud since they’ve been proven in a court of law.
If weird were illegal, Trump would have been in jail since calling columnists, pretending to be someone else, to get it out that he was hot property in his dating life. I don't see anything that has changed.
In Trump's first election run, Trump continually stole the light by saying the weirdest thing possible. All the attention was on Trump, while the entire field of serious candiDates were out-rizzed, by the weirdest guy in the Republican field.
Now, he is just a creepy, weird old guy that needs diapers.
To be clear, if someone needs diapers - that sucks and that's nothing to hassle anyone about. Unless they're (supposedly) a billionaire, unfathomably vain, an enormous sociopath, an asshole, a rapist, and a convicted fraud, who pose a true existential threat to America and the planet as a whole. In the latter case, fuck those people.
He's the bigliest weirdo in history. Record-breaking. They're all saying it.
An adult diaper enbiggens the smallest man.
The best people...
The Republicans aren't sending their best.
Sadly, they might be.
They're being told this is the best they have and they believe it.
Good people on both sides.
He's going to start some birther shit at some stage as well. Claim she was born in Jamaica or some shit.
He's already claiming she's Canadian because she lived there when she was 12 and that's where her mother worked at that time. So we're aren't long now from demanding long form birth certs.
"I paid some detectives to go up to Canada and you wouldn't believe what they found! Why yes, they're the exact same guys that have been in Hawaii for a decade looking into Obama, why do you ask?"
Meanwhile, the guys are actually just Giuliani tripping over folding chairs.
Giuliani can't afford to go to Canada. Sadly, he probably wouldn't be able to find it even if you flung him over Niagara Falls with a trebuchet.
Would Canada let Giuliani in? Canada has standards, and 9 felonies, even when not convicted yet, is a red flag.
You can't get into Canada if you have a DUI. Trump would need special permission to enter Canada.
If you travel by land or from the US and don't need a visa/visa waiver, you can. I can't understand how that draconian law could be enforced if the Canadian Government wasn't able to do a background check.
I heard they can launch a 90 kilogram scumbag who's as dumb as a rock up to 300 metres away.
You could fling Rudy from just outside the state park and splatter him along Clifton Hill then.
Arizona called those guys back after Maricopa county got rid of Arpaio.
He'll probably say she was born in both Jamaica and India. She's Schrodinger's presidential candidate (and analogy that is even more relevant after Vance's stupid 'cat lady ' comment).
The joke on The Daily Show the other day was that she's too young to be president and too old to be a woman...
That joke was a fuckin BANGER xD
She turned black the day Trump found out.
Just like the Dems turned into pedophile, racist, fascist groomers only after Trump left.
And Epstein turned rapist-pedo-trafficker the day Trump left him.
