US Politics, October 2018: next week will be even longer

she likely isn't even the most bullied person in her husband's family tbf

i wonder if she realizes how huge and beloved a celeb she'd be if she divorced him right now, bigger than jackie-o

i doubt it - she has all the natural human warmth of a terminator

xpost And if she were to go full Judith, well...

Melania seems like an objectively terrible person but here's another thing: she's really fuckin weird

not as weird as Stephen Miller though

“Do you remember that character in Peanuts, the one called Pig Pen, with the dust cloud and crumbs flying all around him? That was Stephen Miller at 8. I was always trying to get him to clean up his desk — he always had stuff mashed up in there. He was a strange dude.

I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn’t have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.”

same for Donald

I mean...she voluntarily married Donald Trump. And like late-period Donald Trump, to boot. I wouldn't exactly call her a rational actor.

kids at my elementary school did that with glue all the time... not just some weirdo kid, either. the popular kids would all do it at the same time. it got so bad they eventually took away everyone's glue and locked it in a drawer.

The pouring and peeling, yes. The eating, not so much.

This Trump-Kanye exchange, after Ye talked for 10 straight minutes:

TRUMP: “I tell you what that was pretty impressive. That was quite something.”

KANYE: "It was from the soul. I just channeled it.”

the world is so fucking dumb I pray for death every single minute

trump looked into kayne's eyes and saw his tv channel. i mean, soul

the world is so fucking dumb I pray for death every single minute

― akm

real life lol

I get you, but think of the inexhaustible smugness you can still derive from knowing you're not one of them. Helps you cope.

trump looked into kayne's eyes and saw his tv channel. i mean, soul

some of his plastic still say kayne's soul

Citizen.

love that the president shrugged off the murder and dismemberment of a dissident saudi journalist by claiming 'we sell them 110b worth of weapons my hands are tied'

so kanye says he was misdiagnosed with bipolar now?

“If you’re building a floor — the Constitution is the base of our industry, of our country, of our company, right?” he said. “Would you build a trap door that if you mess up, and you accidentally — something happens, you fall and you end up next to the Unabomber? You gotta remove all that trap door out of the relationship. The four gentleman that wrote the 13th Amendment — and I think the way the universe works, it’s perfect! We don’t have 13 floors.”

What the fuck

You'll have to tell me which of those clowns said that, because I can't tell.

i assume that was kanye

Kanye. I think he sounds mentally ill and pretty different than he did years ago.

Kind of Trump like.

yes but trump isn’t currently fixated on the 13th amendment

this country is so fucking stupid

yes but trump isn’t currently fixated on the 13th amendment

Roky Erickson then.

welp I guess anti-intellectualism won out in USA, g night folks

i've always thought that trump was literally the worst person who could ever possibly be president. and by 'possibly' i mean that there's a chance that the people of the united states would actually vote for him, just because they've heard of him and he's on tv. but kanye might actually be worse, somehow

Ye / Trump Jr. 2024

Kanye has no fucking idea what the fuck he is talking about at all. yet he gets this fucking stupid fuck platform to babble to other idiots that nod their heads in agreement . i hate this shit

It's literally just an ego stroke for Trump. Someone is talking to him as if his opinion matters, as if he were a worthy vessel for such profound insights. Kanye could have been delivering little more than a stream of disconnected phonemes and Trump would've been honored to have been the recipient of those phonemes.

I mean obviously it works both ways. Can't we just lock them both in a room and let them overinflate the other's ego until they cease to exist?

We're at low point # what again?

(not sure Paddy Chayefsky could've come up with this shit)

"I love Hillary. I love everyone. But the campaign ‘I’m With Her’ just didn’t make me feel, as a guy that didn’t get to see his dad all the time, like a guy who could play catch with his son. There was something about when I put this hat on that made me feel like Superman. That’s my favorite superhero. You made a Superman cape for me.”

spelling it out. need it spelled out? here it is, spelled out

You'll have to tell me which of those clowns said that, because I can't tell.

um do you really think that Trump knows of any amendments besides the first two and *maybe* the 25th

Mr Trump was asked by a journalist if West could be a future presidential candidate, and the president replied: "Could very well be."
