ort Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Yeah, it happens all the time. In a world where Trump is doing hundreds of things that are truly insane and outrageous and dangerous, we don't need to key in on stupid bullshit. We need to stay focused on shit that matters. It's especially important not to spread lies and misinformation. We don't need to. The actual info is bad enough all by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed pretty clear that he's either pausing for dramatic effect or confused as to why he was being interrupted by the music. Maybe I'm missing something , but I see no reason to make up a story about him freezing in order to dislike the guy; take your pick of any number of other reasons for that. Which also shouldn't be misconstrued as me trying to defend him or saying his brain isn't mush. I just worry that if "our side" propagates obvious falsehoods or cynical interpretations, it makes it all too easy for the other side to use that. Look, I just like the Simpson’s shitposts, okay? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments I've seen weren't that he was freezing McConnell style, but rather lol dipshit can't talk without a teleprompter after all the times he's said that about Biden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man’s name? Hannibal Lectar. He loved to have people over for dinner. You know, some say that Hannibal was the best… in terms of Cannibalism. Oh he likes to pair a nice chianti with livers, doesn’t he folks? Silence of Lambs! They say that these lambs are going silent because of the illegal migrants crossing our borders. They walk right up to these lambs and silence them! Oh, it’s terrible… terrible what they do to these poor lambs. Soon they’ll be silencing worms too. RFK Jr had a worm. BOOM silenced, just like that. That worm died before it even had a chance to eat a full meal. The way Biden has raised the prices at McDonalds no one can even afford to have a full meal these days.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve been playing that Downton Abbey music whenever Trump has a cognitive moment this campaign. It’s probably to give plausible deniability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairslinger Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 At best I think they are covering some mixup with a teleprompter. I think the Biden campaign was basically like, "We'll hit him on freezing and see if they admit it was the teleprompter." But the Trump campaign can't do that because Trump has turned the teleprompter thing into a big deal to his followers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s that in many ways, they are further right than Trump, but in other ways are still libertarian. There’s that no compromise attitude the LP has always had too which will refuse to see Trump or Kennedy as one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's pretty cathartic to see just how badly this man baby reacts when a crowd doesn't immediately give him complete adoration. The guy has been a politician for over a decade now and reacts like that to a rowdy crowd. It is insane how much retail politics have changed that someone like that is not just successful in the party, but their fucking presidential candidate. On top of that, you know what's even more insane when you think about it? After the incident with McCain correcting the lady about Obama I really think "Thou shalt never criticize your constituency" has essentially become the first commandment of Republican politicians(and has played no small part in the state politics is in). White Supremacists, murderers, domestic fricking terrorists.......they all warrant at least a "good people on both sides" deflection. And yet the crowd heckles Trump for 5 minutes and all of a sudden, "Fuck all y'all! Libertarians suuuuuuck!". I guess the one thing more unforgivable than pissing off the base is hurting poor Donny's little fee fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is, I think this guy genuinely believes he’s completely beloved across the country. Which explains why he couldn’t accept the results of an election he WON, because it drove him nuts he didn’t win the popular vote. And there’s the trial, and seeing that footage of people celebrating his 2020 loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
