Trump is a definite mortal lock to win the Ig Nobel prize, tho.
Trump retweeted a metric shit ton of dumb stuff within the last day including a super creepy video of Biden moving his tongue around (it’s a bit disturbing). The handle of the person he retweeted: Trump & Biden Are Rapey
Nah.
I’ve spoken with the guy who runs the Ig Nobel prizes. In order to qualify, you have to be funny. Not merely ironic, or whimsical or even humorous. He’s looking for things that are laugh-out-loud funny.
Of course, by virtue of his position, anything Trump does is notable, so he might get an honorary mention for his wildly inappropriate statements and tweets, and his clueless use of terms like “sarcastic”. But he’s still not “Funny”.
Y’know, I’m thinking about some of the kids I work with.
Some of them can’t handle what we call “painful affective states.” In layman’s terms, they can’t deal with emotional turmoil, so they lash out in some way.
And durned if ol’ Comrade Trumpski isn’t starting to look and act a LOT like some of my kids. He’s being LAUGHED AT, and he can’t MAKE them stop laughing, and he can’t get at them all and beat them all UP, and they won’t LISTEN when he says he was just KIDDING, and they’re BLATANTLY LAUGHING AT HIM AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT!!!
In other news, I hear that the Monday covid presser has been cancelled. Guess he doesn’t LIKE that nasty ole CNN lady sitting in the front row, getting ready to ask him questions about THINGS HE DID NOT SAY AND IF HE DID SAY THEM HE WAS KIDDING!!!
I think it’s ADMITTING you’re wrong that these losers believe is the sign of weakness. But of course, in their twisted outlook, it’s impossible for them ever to be wrong, so on second, thought, you’re probably right…sigh.
How does he explain his remark about the “Noble Committee”?
What blows my mind is, how so many people still defend and idolize this god damn stupid piece of shit.
My dad used to say of certain people, ‘He may not always be right, but he’s never wrong.’
A pun?
Or a parable. No? Onomatopoeia?
“noble” as in high class, worthy of esteem. That’s his current story, and he’s sticking with it until such time as he changes it.
My father used to say, “I’ve only been wrong once in my life, and that was the time I *thought *I was wrong, but I was really right.” He found that amusing. I didn’t.
We must be related - my dad would say the same damn thing.
They’re too busy eating their [del]hamburders[/del] [del]hambergers[/del] sandwiches to notice any faults.
I really want to send a bunch of postcards- written in sharpie, so maybe he understands- saying SARCASM IS NOT APPROPRIATE WHEN PEOPLE ARE DYING
But I think it would take a lot more stamps and postcards than I have.
Sarcasm is not a what? It’s not a pro parrot? I’m not sure that makes sense. Well, a parrot is… not many people know this… a parrot is a kind of bird. And we got bird flu from China. So sarcasm is not a Chinese flu. That’s what I’m getting. It shows I’m doing good. I’m the best President ever.
That’s OK, he’s apparently moved away from the sarcasm explanation, presumably after someone told that it wasn’t working. I can’t find the article again right now, but he has now glommed on to people thinking he was talking to Brix, when actually he was addressing his comments to Dr Bright from HHS who was seated next to her but mostly blocked from view.
Not sure how that makes them any better, but I guess it is mostly just his way of showing that the Fake News can’t get anything right.
That you, Bubba? Are you finally gonna tell me where you hid my Barbie?
In the “strange” sense (vs. ha-ha) tho.
It’s in the handbook - I’ve used the line on my kids (and I’m pretty sure you aren’t one of them, and neither is Thelma since I’ve only sired boys).
Maybe it’s just as well he didn’t try to spell “Pulitzer”.
