    Everything this administration say or does is bullshit, outright lies and filth. Keep writing articles about what that pus fountain press sec spews, or the open sore attorney general, or the torn bloody asshole trump, it’s all bullshit open sewer nonsense. Nothing they say means anything, we have to do our thing in spite of it, and not actually respond in any way, or treat them as though they mean anything, cause they don’t.

    We shall now refer to that one guy who golfs a lot and pretends to be president as Mr. Facism, man who pretends to lead the American Facist Party.

        You can fuck right off. We got a lot of bullshit going on and a lot of growth to do but I’ll be damned if my republic dies in my fucking life time

          I’m with you. Hope we can do it without violence but it is looking grim.

            It’s our Republic and I think while what is happening now is despicable it won’t push enough people. Suspending elections. … That will rouse the nation.

              Masked agents of the government posing as civilians are arresting people by the thousands - legal resident or not - across the country and we have not risen up. This man’s cult following literally attacked Congress Trying to overturn an election and we did not rise up.

              What makes you think suspending an election is going to tip the scales?

                What makes you think suspending an election is going to tip the scales?

                Mostly that at least right now there’s hope for midterms to change things in Congress and then the presidential election to get Trump out. Right now we still have the trappings of a Republic. I think if elections got suspended all belief in a peaceful solution will be erased and people will react.

                You have a point though, bread and circuses go a long way towards kowtowing the population. That and the risk of death at the hands of the state. I don’t know where the line is that people will readily accept potentially getting shot especially if they’re in white man suburbia.

                  I appreciate your measured tone - Looking at my previous comment it looked a little flippant/antagonistic, my bad.

    I’m terrible with names. I fully admit it. But if I forget a name I just ask “what was his name again?” or something along those lines. A normal person would just keep saying “the prime minister”, or I don’t know, just make the effort to remember the names of major world leaders since it’s your fucking job. Not Mr. Japan OR Tim Apple.

    Why some people think he’s intelligent is beyond me.

      I love Donald’s speeches. They’re the most tragic things I’ve ever heard …too bad he’s not one of those things you put 50p in at a fair.

        He has a way with words, but only for the dumbest purposes. “This has not been touched by human hands” -Trump Describing McDonalds.

        They enrage me to the point where I can’t even listen to him when people play clips to mock him.

      I used to feel that way, but Trump has done so much damage he’s just not fucking funny anymore, and I wish people would stop generating all the noise to point out how stupid he is. We know, and by now it’s WAAAY past funny.

        I honestly think so.

        Without Trump’s giant ego & do what I say because of who I am personality running the show I think there would be a lot more scrutiny on his actions and less “gotta do what daddy says”.

          Yeah, cults of personality tend to fall apart when the guy at the top doesn’t have one.

    I remember when George W. Bush was grilled on the names of world leaders at the time and he flunked it hard… but even he wouldn’t have made something as stupid as Mr. Japan…
