I prefer the brothers who don't die

tweet before that one is great too: "He was my friend. And I guess they say 'best friend.' And that's true,"

turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 17 August 2020 13:55 (three years ago) link

Hell, let's just say "only friend." Because he was my brother and he had no choice. Plus, us assholes got to stick together. Family! Sad!

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 August 2020 13:59 (three years ago) link

Even saying something as simple as "my brother was my best friend", god forbid he not frame it as something where he is in agreement with a widely-held consensus opinion. Its like has to constantly remind himself out loud that nothing he says or thinks is unusual.

looking back, it's amazing that he was able to fake any interest at all in other people's fortunes during the campaign. or it is amazing that enough voters thought he gave a shit about anything other than self-promotion.

tobo73, Monday, 17 August 2020 14:04 (three years ago) link

xp to myself: ...or he could just be so unfamiliar with the concept of a friend that the terminology still feels new to him. "When I hear people talking about friends, I notice they often seem to use the term 'best friend'. And what I guess that term means, it seems to apply to me and my brother."

honestly when he does stuff like this i think he's extremely funny.

Yes. In an alternate universe he has zero power but is a charasmatic perennial talk show guest

calstars, Monday, 17 August 2020 14:14 (three years ago) link

it does feel like a comedy bit. he takes self-centeredness so far beyond any other person i've seen.

treeship., Monday, 17 August 2020 14:16 (three years ago) link

They should totally give him his own reality show.

Ask yoreself: are you're standards too high? (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 August 2020 14:41 (three years ago) link

The thing I find most hilarious about this human black hole is watching human civilization get sucked into his inescapable gravity well and obliterated. It's sick, brah.

Ask yoreself: are you're standards too high? (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 August 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link

he had his own reality show for years

it was called "the fire man" i think. he fired people and american viewers rejoiced in the humiliation of unemployment.

treeship., Monday, 17 August 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link

i remember his famous catchphrase "you have become fired"

Because you can't say "Cohen" (phonetically) without "ew:"

Josh I'm very confused about how you say Cohen, phonetically or not

change display name (Jordan), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:01 (three years ago) link

Jordan, you dolt. It's cue-an. Q Anon. Michael Cohen is Q! the jailing was just a cover story for what he is actually doing--hunting pedophiles at trump's behest. a one-man army.

Donald's thoughts on his dead brother, in full (as someone who transcribes interviews a lot, I can only imagine how many times the transcriber had to re-listen to this flood of mouth-diarrhea; no wonder the NY Times so frequently opts for "[indecipherable]" when posting Q&As with him):

Not to state the obvious but it's clear that Trump has never felt empathy for another human being in his entire miserable life.

healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:08 (three years ago) link

So fucking bizarre how QAnon has now spread to the rest of the world. I fail to see its 'value' for non-Americans (except perhaps for Canadians, because living vicariously through the US is the closest thing we have to an identity, or so I tell myself in my more despondent moods).

xposts Weird that Trump recited a passage from Naked Lunch to eulogize his brother but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Ask yoreself: are you're standards too high? (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:13 (three years ago) link

"well we did interact" is a normal way to describe a relationship with your sibling

contorted filbert (harbl), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:14 (three years ago) link

I didn’t know it had spread. But conspiracies that the world is secretly run by an elite group who partake in depraved rituals is a trope that never really goes away. Usually it’s explicitly antisemitic—I don’t know to what degree this is true of Q Anon.

These newer groups and pages also demonstrate the spread of QAnon around the world. They include groups dedicated to QAnon followers in the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. The largest international QAnon groups documented by the Guardian were German, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Australian and British.

all the great countries love QAnon, ladies and gentlemen

contorted filbert (harbl), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:17 (three years ago) link

I like the subtle implication that Northern Ireland isn't really part of the UK.

Yeah well America has also exported hip hop and coca-cola—a lot of cool stuff. They can’t all be winners.

His fluency in oral cut-up is without peer. Truly the most avant pop performance artist since Kenneth Goldsmith.

I should have specified, without the "e" sound and without the "w" sound. coWEn.

lol. A grosser person than I would intersperse that run on sentence of a paragraph with pornography a la "American Psycho."

Gov Walz says as President prepares to visit Walz’s hometown of Mankato, MN says he “spent this weekend trying to tell the White House why it was a really bad idea to have Pres Trump go down and stand at the George Floyd memorial and use as a backdrop” #tptalmanac @tpt @NewsHour pic.twitter.com/eXEqo3ZrkQ

So it's definitely going to happen, then.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 August 2020 15:45 (three years ago) link

maybe it would help if trump holds up an anti-racism book that belongs to someone else, while he speaks

The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:49 (three years ago) link

Holy shit, out of nowhere I suddenly had the strangest epiphany: "covfefe" was him channeling a message from the future! He was actually trying to say "covid" but it got garbled in the process. Trump tried to warn us!

I for one encourage Donald Trump to make more ill-advised trips to places where lots of angry people despise him. Like daily, if possible.

Ask yoreself: are you're standards too high? (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 August 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link

I assume that's already true of every place he goes.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 17 August 2020 15:57 (three years ago) link

so did his brother die of covid or what?

His brother had taken a fall earlier in the year and suffered some cerebral bleeding and never recovered.

DJT has had lots of mysterious bruises in the last year, Robert was released from neurological intensive care into Charles Harder's custody to act as a stalking horse for Donald's lawsuit against Mary, and their father died with dementia.
