    This is what professionalism is these days. The good thing is that they are open about their views and it’s easier to identity what type of person they are.

    The eating of trumps ass by his maga moron is out of control. They named renamed the Kennedy center. Who memoralizes themselves while living? Dictators. Only Dictators do this shit. My family is lost to his nonsense. There isnt a single free thinking person in my family anymore. Dad mom, brother all lost to his bs. Wake up America, im begging you, before he takes all your rights away

    Petty, childish, juvenile, mean, pathetic.

    The equivalent of drawing a mustache on someone whom you dislike on their yearbook photo and expecting everyone to laugh at your work, too.

    And we have all of this because Obama made fun of Trump at some big presser, makes you think, right?

    Before that, Trump was a Democrat, mocking Republicans, playing golf with Bill, and endorsing Hillary for senate.

    Just imagine who the bankers have selected as our future candidates! Remember when the Bush presidency was the worst ever?

      He did get roasted, and it didn’t help, but don’t kid yourself that it was the catalyst, he flipped a couple years before that happened. I read that same story, and it was just an fluff piece for the media.

      https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-was-once-a-registered-democrat-and-party-donor-why-did-he-jump-ship/wj85mj5yq

      He’s changed affiliations 5 times now

      Before he ran, his investments were petering out. He owed a substantial amount of money to multiple places. (notably a couple of billion to Deutsche Bank) His contributions to whatever party he was sucking up to were in the couple of thousand-dollar range.

      He registered Republican near the end of Reagan’s run. He flipped to Independent in the middle of Clinton’s presidency. He switched to the Democrats when Bush took office. He flipped to republican the year Obama got in, even though the roast was two years before the roast in question.

      The Republicans knew that once Obama got in, they could weaponize race and he turned out to be the face they were looking for to empower the right extremists and moderates.

      Trump knew he needed an enemy if he wanted his populism to take hold, Obama was the obvious choice, it wasn’t really anything Obama did. That he’s black is just icing on the cake, let him spin populism and racism together into one tapestry of bullshit.

      Only on paper. In reality, the authors of the bill wrote that Trump and Bondi get to decide what to release and can withhold as much of the documents as they want under the guise of “national security.” It was just more kayfabe.

      It’s so much, I can only imagine. Was in DC recently and you can see his name just boldly prepended to stuff that looks way older lol, sticks out like exactly the absurdist, garish, self-evidently temporary sore thumb that it is.

      I haven’t gotten the sense any of his kids have anything like the weird Trump charisma the fucker does have, so even if the country doesn’t magically get better when he’s gone, it’s just hard to see anyone taking seriously the idea that any of the renamings and such will last even 10 years.

      Exception for if he gets (foolishly) martyred and they can turn his name into some weird gross symbol for a longer term hatefest.

      Damnatio Memoriae as the Romans called, the removal of a person not just from life but also memory. Though I say we keep his actions and consequences recorded, just remove his personhood and likeness. Every picture and video of him should just be mess of static and fucked but understandable audio. Things not related to his presidency should be destroyed in their entirety.

        That sounds pretty difficult to do in the modern world.

        In contrast, I like the idea that before he croaks he could know that his name will be cursed and his grave pissed upon for generations.

          The argument I could see is that a person’s personhood is relevant to their actions, but Trump doesnt really fall into that category in my opinion. Hes more a void of a person existing on base impulse and desire further amplified by his narcissism. Seriously is there anything Trump actually like? And not in a way that could be explained by scratching his base impulses at any given time?

            I’ve always been disturbed by the descriptions of his inability to enjoy humor and music. Those are like core to humanity, in my estimation.

            I’ve known at least one legitimate dangerous psychopath, knew him quite well. He had a rich (if dark) sense of humor and legitimately interesting, opinionated taste in music. And he was the kind of person it was unsafe to be near if he was merely bored (to say nothing of angry/frustrated or worse), and you were sufficiently weaker and isolated (I never was, to be clear). He also was barely literate and mischaracterized by lots of people as profoundly unintelligent.

            I’ve known other interesting individuals damaged in different unrecoverable ways, and everyone I’ve known (that remains able to interact even somewhat smoothly with others at least) has those core human pieces intact.

            Trump is truly a bizarre human being, and not in one single way I can call positive. I wonder if there are others in history who were notably “deaf” to the emotional meanings of music and humor (minds structurally incapable of empathy, I’m guessing) yet still adept at social interactions and even possessing a strange almost bewitching quality among the general populace.

            Even cult leaders, known for that latter quality and also lack of empathy, they tend to understand music and humor and even use them for effect in their abuses. Trump alllllmost gets there with humor, but not quite, to him it seems like just a way of attacking people that is somehow more publicly tolerated, he doesn’t ever seem to find it funny himself - just another weapon/tool to use. Weird fuckin brain on this guy (very weirdly damaged/malformed, I suspect).

      the democrats would never run anyone who had the balls to do that. it would be too ‘mean’.

      but if such a candidate did get to run, they’d probably be incredibly popular.

    Social media and media aggregation has promoted trolls into places where they’re stuck sucking their own dicks to shock people, while also being incompetent leaders and managers.

    What kind of fucking fanfiction is this whole thing. Satire truly is dead.

    Also

    California Governor Gavin Newsom, no stranger to mocking Trump online, slammed the stunt.

    Stop “slamming” and similar terms because they fucking mean nothing
