Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

hilarious the right trying to blame the loss on "wokeness" as though they weren't woke when they won the World Cup twice

Liberals are weak and get nothing done but also they are omniscient puppet masters.

Liberals are stupid but they also easily stole an election.

Democrats go to college to get more knowledge
Republicans go to Jupiter to get more stupider

how mean a thing to say!

I am totally going to hell for that.

I came across this thread and found it a pretty compelling encapsulation of rightwing/reactionary rhetoric:

I'm stuck waiting on someone, so a quick 🧵I've been meaning to write, pulling together a few strands.

In his book The School for Dictators, Ignazio Silone famously called fascism "a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place." There is much wisdom there.

Trump (like Musk and plenty of other ludicrously entitled rich dudes) just utterly refuses to accept that any rules ever apply to him. And he’s usually maddeningly right. But judges tend to be very much not amused by that kind of shit.

1000% OTM

Boris Johnson says hi.

Kind of funny how there's been and still is so much effort spent reporting and guessing when and where Trump will be indicted next, when each time he's been, like, "I will be indicted today at 5pm!"

This sure is a pretty unique defense strategy:

Attorney John Eastman, an architect of Donald Trump’s last-ditch efforts to subvert the 2020 election, is asking a California judge to postpone disbarment proceedings lodged against him, saying he’s increasingly concerned he’s about to be criminally charged by special counsel Jack Smith.

such a freakazoid

“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him V.P., has gone to the Dark Side,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.

“I never told a newly emboldened (not based on his 2% poll numbers!) Pence to put me above the Constitution, or that Mike was ‘too honest.’ He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy,” Trump added, denying information that was contained in the indictment. “I once read a major magazine article on Mike. It said he was not a very good person. I was surprised, but the article was right. Sad!”

he can use "emboldened" in a sentence

jeez Mike who could have possibly seen this coming for you huh

glad he's back to 'Sad!'

I once read a major magazine article on Mike/
It said he was not a very good person/
I was surprised/
But the article was right.

Sad! by King Missile

Didn't he already use "liddle" for Rubio? Or was that "widdle?" (And even by his standards, those are pretty lame putdown words, something you might expect in an Our Gang episode.)

Donald "Spanky" Trump

MAGAlfalfa

"I'ma He-Man Woke-Hater"

it might choke artie but it aint gonna choke donnie etc

I once read a major magazine article on Mike

Now his lies have gone too far.

I want to point out that it wasn't just "liddle," it was "liddle'" with an apostrophe after the e.

have lurking suspicion the linked article is not really worth the time, I just dug it up for reference, but I will never know for sure

I hate how it's Trump Trump Trump in the media again, every day. "what's the election going to be abouTRUMPTRUMPTRUMP" - there's that creeping inevitability again, isn't there? Who else is going to win in 2024? Nobody, let's face it.

+ all Putin needs to do in Ukraine is keep going until then and all the NATO help is going to dry up.

Stop

That Atlantic article was interesting... I didn't realize just how dishonest CNN was until Trump pointed out that they had deliberately misspelled "Liddle" by taking out the "hyphen" just to make him look dumb:
To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word wrong."

LOL

The stable genious strikes again.

stable genius needs to be put out to pasture

you left out the hyphen 'cause the hyphen ain't in you

To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word wrong.

Maybe the dumbest utterance in the history of human utterances.

weird guy, seems like he’s losing it

What an Iddiot'

Because I got hyphen

What a moron, doesn't know a hyphen from an ampersand.

Given his diet, maybe he should be a bit more concerned with the colon.

Tip your waitress.

Trump is soooooo dumb
How dumb is he?
He's so dumb he thinks putting air quotes around things makes them inadmissible
He thinks Question Mark means his chief of staff has to testify before Congress

It's almost impossible for me to comprehend the minutiae and the endless petty grievances that must circle his head 24/7, like turds flushing in a gold-plated toilet bowl.

have you hung out on right wing social media? That's all your neighbors and relatives do.

Even amongst his followers, I wonder what percentage see that tweet and think, "Yeah, Fuck CNN for leaving out that hyphen."

guarantee you it's happening

have you hung out on right wing social media?

I used to check out Freerepublic occasionally to see what they were on about, but quit long ago. I try to stay away from the comments section of the media I consume as I don't care what garbage people think, but sometimes I feel the need to correct utter lies/bullshit.

I haven't thought about Freerepublic since we liberals were all lying about how great the Iraq War was going

There's one blogger I read who still reposts Free Republic comments as if that proves anything other than that nursing homes shouldn't have internet access.

I found out a friend has a Truth social account to see what kind of stupid crap is going on. What entertained me is that all of the Trump posts max out at around 800 likes. Not a high engagement platform!

Sad!

It’s not that we liked or enjoyed or found Trump funny. It’s that we understood what would make him appealing to other people. As much as I wish the man would vanish into a black hole, on, like, the very basic charming con man level, I get it!

With Captain Florida, there is just … nothing, nada, zilch. There is no charm, or soaring oratory, or grace, or even a sense of being comfortable in his own skin.

i created a Gab account after it launched. Dunno how much traction that still has amongst those types but it was wall-to-wall racism and insanity.
