I just saw a news item where Melania Trump is “one of the most bullied people in the world”. [rolleyes]

I thought she might come clean about her domestic situation , but apparently the issue is that some people say some not so nice things about her. Which she totally does not deserve, unlike that slut Michelle. 😕

Anyway, move over Matthew Shepard, someone’s being bullied worse than you were.

Michelle isn’t a slut. She’s just secretly a man.

_Aliens_, 1986 (misremembered)

Alex Jones: Hey Michelle, have you ever been mistaken for a man?

Michelle Obama: No, have you?

Tell a lie often enough it doesn’t matter how big is is. He’s just setting it up so when the indictments start rolling in he’ll be able to bleat about how the Deep State is now trying to, “blame _me_ and my team for something it did.”

They’ll lap it up with a spoon and beg for more.

Wait a minute. _Has_ Trump _ever_ in his life uttered the phrase “my team”?

ETA: Wow, I can hardly wait for (a) the impeachment and the senate trial followed by conviction and removal from office, and (b) the state and municipal (New York City) indictments followed by conviction and incarceration. The joy you will see on my face when I laugh in the faces of the idiot trumpists on my campus will be epic.

I like the caption on that frame: “Trump holds news conference”… like a big boy!

Trump made a comment at his rally: _“Every Republican thinks they are going to win Pennsylvania, but I got it. I’d use an expression, you know there’s an expression, but under the rules of Me Too I’m not allowed to use that expression anymore, I can’t do it. It’s the ‘person’ that got away.”_

What expression was it that Trump wanted to use? The only expression that would fit that I’m familiar with is “the one that got away” but there’s nothing offensive about that.

Maybe he thinks that “the one that got away” is the one you were trying to rape but managed to fight you off ?

It’s a reference to a saying, which I’m about 33% sure I’ve heard before, that, for Republicans, “Pennsylvania is always the \*\*\*girl \*\*\*that got away.”

For normal people, this metaphor references a missed romance. For Republicans worried about their roles in the #MeToo movement, it’s a pussy grab or something.

You’re probably right. This wasn’t a reference to something that was genuinely offensive. It was just Trump feeding a lie by pretending that liberals are easily offended over trivia.

Trump always plays the victim card as a significant portion of his voter base is there out of fears of ‘white genocide’.

To be fair he probably does believe this bullshit.

Sure, for about ten minutes, until he believes something entirely different. Yesterday, he believed that black people really like him. Couple days ago, he was going to save Medicare, day before that, he was going to stamp out socialized medicine.

I wonder if he knows that’s unconstitutional…

Hell, what am I saying? :smack: Of COURSE he doesn’t know (or care) that it’s unconstitutional. He probably is only vaguely aware that there IS a constitution (I hear last week they had to show him the old School House Rock thing about bills, so he’d know what those are)…

I bet the same people who say students yelling down a speaker is an infringement on free speech will somehow excuse this as NOT an infringement on free speech.
