Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

If you're Putin you don't let go of an asset as potentially valuable as Trump.

Useful asshat

who the hell is moustache guy

"The late, great Freddie Mercury..."

a live-action cartoon character of some sort

I vaguely recognize that guy as I recall he performed the most offensive roast of Tom Brady as part of the Netflix special. I was like "who is this racist dickhead and why are they letting him speak?" It was probably to "both sides" the comedy and allow a "not woke" comedian on stage. Pretty sure he called Brady a gay slur as part of his bit and overall his set was gross as hell. Don't judge me too harshly for watching it. There were some good bits!

Good bits in other sets, not his!

The New Republic has an article about how disastrous that appearance was, and how the hosts were cackling at Trump bragging about his "weaving" but clicking around the video it's a bunch of stuff like "Everyone I talk to, no matter what race, loves you, sir."

News outlets don't seem very good at covering comedy podcasts or comedy in general imo. I wish they just stop doing it. I also read The New Republic article and it completely mischaracterized the tone of the podcast.

Okay I saw a trailer for this Trump movie and the premise seems to be that Trump was some sort of winsome naïf before Roy Cohn set him on the straight and narrow path to hell? Do I have that right?

I believe the movie dwells on his family dynamics, too; I know Fred Trump Sr is a character (played by Martin Donovan!)

this is being forwarded again - that first call happened, but did the rest?

7/31/2019 Trump meets w/ Putin. 8/3/2019, just 3 days later, Trump requests a list of US spies. By 2021 the CIA reports a high number of their agents are being captured and/or murdered. An FBI search at Mar A Lago finds more documents
w/ lists of our spies on them. Treason?

it doesn't matter anymore, if it ever did

he's a felon running against a prosecutor and all the cops are supporting the felon

you either support trump or you don't; facts are beside the point

Not to overestimate the competence of the CIA but if that report were true then one of the recent assassination attempts wouldn't have missed.

Also it was an official act, so totally legal!

everyone knows that trump was undercover trying to get enough evidence to put putin away forever when joe biden STOLE the election and trump couldn't finish the job!

Guys he was a quintuple agent!

Look at the background behind him

What the ever living fuck is he saying?

Kamala told the gangs: "Go ahead, kill the police; I'm giving you the green light."

"Deport Now"

it's fucking surreal, like some satirical movie ala 'wag the dog' or something

How can he even form sentences at this point

He saw it on television!

Have we all forgotten "get a brain morans" guy?

This is straight up Hitler shit

I feel like he’s about to overplay his hand. It’s a gut feeling but he’s about to go too far.

We've been waiting eight years for the Judge Welch moment...hope you're right, but it just never comes.

I wouldn't underestimate American's thirst for outright fascism.

You can't get good secret service protection because they're using all the agents to protect migrants.

jeez, he called harris "retarded". not sure i was capable of hating him in a new way

oh. he's mad about not getting to play golf.

That tension has become more acute since Mr. Trump’s campaign has had to adjust some events because of heightened security threats against him. Because of those threats, he’s given up playing golf, his favorite method of relaxation, for the remainder of the campaign.

seriously, that's it. he's becoming even more angry and repulsive, partly because he wants more money for his campaign, but 99% of it is that he wants to play golf

I’ve noticed a huge uptick in right-wing people using the R word online.

"repulsive"

Republican

Retardican

Two can play at this ill-advised game!

Let's not tho eh?

When "libtard" is your put-down of choice, you are not only comfortable with that word, you are going out of your way to find opportunities to use it.

What caught my eye from that NYT article was a bit different:

His campaign has been more clearly yoking Ms. Harris to President Biden and making the case that she failed to get her agenda through in three and a half years as vice president.

Thx NYT reporters for blandly repeating a totally bogus criticism of Harris. VPs do not have an agenda of their own, in part because they have exactly no power to enact their own agenda. The closest any VP ever came to that was Dick Cheney, owing solely to Dubya being such a malleable, self-deluded clown.

I dunno. Holding a sitting Vice President running for office for the Presidents policy is a pretty standard thing to do. Especially because Vice Presidents almost always champion the policies of the President. It’s happened every time a Vice President has ran from either party.
