    He doesn’t give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he’ll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don’t honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.

    And the sad reality is is that he’s got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.

    Trump is a deep cover Democrat trying to force conservatives to be gay through the music of the Village People.

    Trump […] answered a handful of questions from supporters before pausing the town hall due to the attendees requiring medical attention. At some point, Trump joked, “Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds.” He added, “Would anybody else like to faint? Please raise your hand.”

    Whaaaat the fuck is he talking about? Glibness about his fainting attendees’ health and barely veiled annoyance at them aside, what does that even mean? What did this have to do with losing weight? Is he losing weight by having to stand longer while people are medically attended to? If that’s what he meant, it’s a weird way to flex, implying that you are fat from sitting all the time, but ok.

      I think maybe it’s because the fainting was presumably because it was hot? And if you sweat enough, you can lose a couple pounds or something? Still, pretty gross.

      Kinda want to displace “weird” with “gross.” Weird can be good. Gross is never good.

        Somehow that’s even worse than “won’t be fooled again”

        At least Bush could think to the end of his sentence, even if it takes half the sentence to get there. Trump has to say it out loud before he can think about it.

          To give Bush his credit, he said that “won’t be fooled again” line because he realized he was about to say “shame on me,” and that would have been used against him for the rest of his presidency.

          It actually showed real on the spot adaptability.

            hence my entire comment? He realized halfway through what he was going to say and changed it. Trump said the dumb thing, THEN corrected afterward.

    At this point … Turnip is not the idiot

    America is … for putting up with this clown show of a so called ‘political choice’.

    I gave up about a year ago debating about dumb politicians … at one point you just have to look at the entire situation and ask yourself, how dumb can everyone be? How collectively dumb and unaware does a nation have to be to get to this point?

      Improving the education system needs to be priority #1 for the dems. We need it more than ever now and all they need to do to enhance their base is get iQs above 80 before kids Graduate high school.

    Just another stunt to stay in the media for any reason, no matter what.

    Edit: having unwillingly thought about this more… no, this is just his overcompensation for the sick burn that people leave his rallies early. He’s too petty for this to be staged media attention performative art.
