That makes no logical sense! Obviously you can get down from an elephant. otherwise, all those tourists in India would still be up there! And they’d run out of elephants.
Damned if I can remember where I saw it, but I recall a parody about that time:
[Solemn voice] Man … woman … birth … death … infinity …
[Bogus German accent] And dees ees a pussycat!
better make it “Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow. 550” just to be sure.
There is a way to get more elephants. Rather hard on the tourists though.
Don’t forget about Birth, School, Work, Death - Godfathers.
It may have been posted already, but the best takeoff on Trump’s fake ‘memory test’ words I’ve seen is:
Putin . Russia . Bounty . Troops . Silence
The new Republican stimulus package includes $1.75 billion to rebuild the FBI headquarters instead of moving it to the suburbs, as has been planned since 2012. The reason why Individual 1 wants it rebuilt in place is because if it’s moved, the land could be sold to a new hotel developer, and a new hotel would compete with his, which is just a block away. Also, Mitch McConnell sent out mixed messages as to whether he knew that the money was in the stimulus bill. At least two Republican Senators, including Lindsay Graham, have said it’s inappropriate to put into the stimulus bill.
oh wow shocker the Republicans fucked up governing again because of self-interest… oh what a strange turn of events…
Individual 1 considers Twitter trending pieces about him are illegal.
I think I’ve found something better. And there’s a video about his ramp encounter, too, which is even better.
That darned first amendment! How inconvenient!
I commented on that tweet in the “Butt-hurt trump takes to twitter again” thread. My observation was about how he again for the millionth time complained about how it was “very unfair”. I said, I can’t believe his supporters see a strong leader in a guy who constantly whines about how “unfair” people are to him. Who else over the age of around 10 complains about unfairness all the time? I remember when I was a kid and I complained about something being unfair…my parents, teachers, any grownup who heard that would say “life’s not fair. Get used to it”.
Trump claimed to have “cancelled” throwing out the first pitch at the Yankees game. Problem is, they didn’t actually ask him to do it in the first place; he just said they did because he wanted to imitate Dr. Fauci.
I know it’s nothing compared to impeachment and a thousand other truly consequential Trump atrocities, but somehow the infantile patheticness of this encapsulates so much of what is wrong with that scum-of-the-earth.
Here’s the lead story on the AP right now:
He slammed Fauci too (via surrogate, of course):
I think his hard-core base feels that THEY have been treated unfairly in life, too, and they want to say it out loud to the whole world, but no one listens. I’m not promoting the validity of this position, just giving my take on what I think it looks like from their pov.
He voices (or tweets) what they’re thinking and have thought for years but have had to stifle. And that goes for the hatred, bigotry, the feeling that minorities get an unfair advantage, and the general notion that they’ve been kicked off the American Dream gravy train and forgotten.
His appeal to the deplorables is that he says out loud what they want to say but can’t. He is expressing their rage and they love it. They don’t have a clue who he really is-- a spoiled sociopathic rich kid who wouldn’t last five minutes working in a mine, on an assembly line, or at a Wal-Mart. He’s not one of them, but he talks like he is and they don’t care as long as he shouts out loud what they’re thinking.
Write and publish a grammar/spelling textbook.
They begged me to throw the first pitch but I said no /imitation tweet
That’s got to be it-- his hardcore base loves him so much BECAUSE of his most outrageous words and behavior, not in spite of them.
I don’t think he learned the same socialization lessons and skills that most people do as children. That was apparent even before his niece’s book came out.
