Prolly 'cause no Russians watch it.
No! Don’t YOU start the “prolly”!
I know how everyone, including me, wants to shove icepicks in our ears at the sound of his voice. But believe me, it’s worth a few seconds to hear the tone. He sounds drunk and, well, defeated.

Deutsch Bank isn’t the only one looking the other way when dirty money swims through their system, but they are among the most reputable - or at least they were.
The whole story of DB’s connections to the Kremlin opened my eyes to how easy it is for the wrong people to pose as rich capitalists and bend financial institutions to their will.
Welp. Second verse, same as the first?
Not yet!!
A whole lot louder and a whole lot worse.
It’s not over til the big orange turd toad croaks.
It didn’t look right but I was in a hurry.
Apostrophe abuse.
It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
Deutsche Bank is the one that Anthony Kennedy’s son works for, right?

I’ll take sentences I never thought I’d read for $1000 please, Alex.
This is the truly sickening part. In 2016 DJT was an unknown as president. He was going to “drain the swamp,” “run government like a business,” blahblahblah. Unfortunately he ran the government like one of his businesses, i.e., into the ground.
In 2020 he is no longer an unknown. Yet 60+ million people want four more years of this unrelenting shitstorm. I cannot fathom it. I do not know this country any more.
…But no matter how this election concludes, America is now a different country. Nearly half of the voters have seen Trump in all of his splendor—his infantile tirades, his disastrous and lethal policies, his contempt for democracy in all its forms—and they decided that they wanted more of it. His voters can no longer hide behind excuses about the corruption of Hillary Clinton or their willingness to take a chance on an unproven political novice. They cannot feign ignorance about how Trump would rule. They know, and they have embraced him.
Sadly, the voters who said in 2016 that they chose Trump because they thought he was “just like them” turned out to be right. Now, by picking him again, those voters are showing that they are just like him: angry, spoiled, racially resentful, aggrieved, and willing to die rather than ever admit that they were wrong.
…
Yeah. I think I want a divorce.
People seem to like bullies, possibly because we’re monkeys more than we think.
Re: Trump as a sociopath.
I imagined this exchange today:
Me: Trump is a sociopath.
Trump supporter: You can’t say that. You’re not a psychologist.
Me: I’m not a meteorologist either, but I can tell when it’s raining.
Maybe I’ll meme that.
This is what I feared when I posted in the “Biden Is President, Congress Is Blue. Now What?” thread in Politics and Elections:
That’s undeniably true. There is some large fraction of all humans who are attracted to bullies.
The aspect that no one predicted before 2015 was that they could be attracted to a bully who is clearly insecure and cowardly. “Stupid” was okay—born-toadies have toadied for stupid bullies before. But before Trump, no one knew that absurdly incompetent bullies could attract toadies.
This fact must be very confusing to prominent Trump-enabling Republicans who cherish their own hopes of reaching the top someday. Do they try to be as childish and petulant and needy as possible? Obviously they have to be good at dog-whistling both white supremacism and male supremacism, but do they also have to climb into the cabs of big trucks and make “zoom zoom” noises?
It must be very distressing for them, trying to figure it out.
