Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

And you all are shocked? Or maybe just tired?

Anyway: it's also why he's losing, because even his cult is tired of him not having ******* anything except bitching.

I am surprised by the question, particularly aimed at a Republican. Few balk at the idea of having a plan to make medicine or gasoline or housing more affordable, because it seems like fantastic piles of money are being made in those industries, but ain't nobody getting rich off of child care. I do understand that it is a difficult expense for working class families who have to keep their eye on whether both parents are taking home more than they are spending on it, but the people doing the work aren't making a big margin either. If we are talking about some kind of subsidy for it, there is no way a Republican running for office is going to do that. I guess there is some value in pressing them to admit it.

Can we stop pretending he'll ever face consequence now?

I'm willing to keep the pretense going a bit longer.

Or defeat?

hug that noise. He's finally on the ropes, and your doom-and-gloom ass still wants to throw in the towel? Here's a novel idea: how 'bout you stop being such a mopey mother****er, make sure that you and all of your Trump-hating friends and relatives are registered to vote, and then make sure that you all goddamn vote?! Or are you so committed to this bit that you'd rather everyone get sentenced to life in a Trump regime just so you won't run out of jive to bitch and moan about?

hug, dude. Just... enough already. Post that jive somewhere else.

Maybe Paladin is a Russian agent, hired to post cynical takes and discourage people.

Remember how it turned out Russia had paid people to go on Tumblr and pose as social justice types, poisoning the discourse with anger and divisiveness? I do.

 

[KidTDragon]

It's the only thing that makes sense at this point. I mean, I'm a pessimist, but goddamn...

 

[wonko the sane?]

God damn, the kid snapped!

Thing of beauty right there.

 

[Pale Rider]

My God, this was beautiful.

In other news, a Trump campaign jet carrying Vance strayed into restricted D.C. airspace.

J.D. Vance's Campaign Jet Inadvertently Buzzed The Washington Monument

Washington, D.C.'s skies are some of the most heavily restricted in the world and the airspace near the White House is totally off-limits.

[wonko the sane?]

That's not surprising: these are some of the most entitled people in the ******* world.

"Greetings, fellow human! I am also a human, and I will demonstrate such by engaging in the introduction ritual of touching my upper appendage to yours, as is traditional among us humans!"

"A successful fistshake! Congratulations are claimed by all involved!"

Restricted air space and restricted cemeteries are talking about regular people. Not extraordinary people like them.

"A successful fistshake! Congratulations are claimed by all involved!"

I'm not really sure what we're looking at there. If she didn't want to shake his hand, she could've kept it in her pocket. She doesn't look like a demographic that would prefer fist bumps by default. Is that a thing to stick out your fist to create an unsuccessful handshake?

 

[wonko the sane?]

No, it's not. She was going for a fist bump, and got a handshake. That's a surprisingly common thing.

Fistbumps have become a lot more common post-COVID, for sanitary reasons. As easy as it would be to paint Vance as being out of touch (and probably a COVID denialist), they reached out at the exact same time and then she just kind of ragequit rather than wait the one second it took him to catch on.

 

[abates]

I'm just amused by the two men in the background who decide they definitely don't want to interact with Mr Vance and head for the hills.

Oh, I get it. So she probably felt like he was being insensitive. One of THOSE guys.

I think they especially didn't want to interact with the camera.

I wonder if Trump believes that Biden and the Justice Department are behind all of his legal stuff. I don't have enough access to gauge whether he is doing political calculus in his head or whether he really thinks that is the simplest explanation. When someone is a fool and a liar, it can be tricky to tell which one is prevailing at the moment.

 

[Pale Rider]

His brain has cobwebs because he does all of his thinking with his gut.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

He blames Biden because he sees him as the only person important enough to actually threaten him. The idea that it could actually just be all those little people in the actual criminal justice system doesn't occur to him because they're not important enough to remember their names.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Blaming biden worked politically for trump because now his base has another reason to hate biden. Doesn't matter that trumps own actions have caused the litigation and threat of imprisonment: he's a malignant narcissist, nothing is ever his fault.
