Glad you love Trump (and think anyone who wants to Impeach Trump is trying to set up a fascist state).

You might be sad to hear that you’ve aged out of his dating pool though.

Maybe you’ll win an award!

I think it’s Orange Krylon disease. Maybe he should try Rust Oleum.

Are you fucking serious? Do you _actually_ believe I support Trump?

FYI: The quote is from a song I heard on Dr. Demento in the '80s. It was supposed to be funny. I thought Dopers were intelligent enough to catch cultural references (even old one) and to, you know, maybe _think_ about someone’s posting history to ascertain whether a post is or isn’t facetious. Apparently, not all of them are.

I mean, you’re kind of new here. How could anyone be expected to figure out where you stand after only 75,000 posts?

OK let’s not get confused, Jane Fonda had nothing to do with this incident.

This really seems more like a Doctor Durand Durand announcement, tbh.

I could see that being the case. I used a cream called Efudex to treat a small patch of skin cancer on my scalp. It worked really well but the reaction while it was working was not pretty.

edit: I just looked it up. Efudex is fluorouracil.

While I knew instantly where you stand, I still have to quibble with the first part of this, because this is the Dope. The fact that you remember an obscure Dr. Demento song from 40 years ago doesn’t mean that anyone may have any idea what you’re on about. I tried googling and found nothing. A link would have been helpful.

I can but read what you write. the world has been gaslit before by Trumpists flip-flopping and saying ‘just kidding’. Kyrsten Sinema is my cite.

I never watched Dr. Demento; what channel was he on? I’ll look him up.

MSH says stuff like that, don’t let it get to you.

And MSH, you are awesome, I really enjoy you as a poster, don’t think I’m slamming on you. You are unique and a valuable part of this board.

Yeah people, I know I shouldn’t post like this in the Pit, but fuck off. I’m gonna be positive and you can blow yourself.

So s Trump. He just banned all trade with Spain.

( Don’t worry, I don’t think you are Trump.)

It was just such a stupid and random move; what did Spain do really? We’ll probably find out later that Trump had a Spanish Omelet with peppers spicier than he’s used to and it just blew up his pants.

“And I want Ice to find and deport all of those peppers! I’ll show them. A little more Aloe Vera on the left. Oh, that’s nice. Would you like a Medal of Honor? I’ve got an extra…”

I read his words on Spain: he’s a toddler! A little piss baby! I don’t know how anyone sees trump and thinks “strength”.

If Canada wanted to invade and liberate us, I’d be standing in the street with a little canadian flag.
