"Well, Trump’s a bad person. He’ll get his.” You know, some people never get theirs. Some people just fail up. People are like, “What goes around, comes around.” No, it don’t! Sometimes, it’s just keeps goin’ around"

The premise is that Donald Trump is essentially what a Hobo imagines a rich person to be:

I'd love to hear him riff on your version.

13296925, i feel like i read an article a couple years ago that
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Sat Nov-10-18 06:47 PM
said something like 30% of their budget goes to fight 1% of their fires and the rest is for the other 99% of the fires and preventive work

i feel like unless they are mismanaging the actual money that giving them less money is gonna make the situation better

(that is of course you arent a petty partsian idiot thats looking to "win" against the derr derr libruls)
13296927, F' it I will say it.

13297087, too many facts in that reply.
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Nov-12-18 04:32 PM
It lacks the punch needed to cut through in madness on social media.
13297089, i hate the fact that people gotta call this knucklehead mr president.
Posted by Reeq, Mon Nov-12-18 04:39 PM
like after all the ignorance and blatant disregard of basic humanity in his comments/tweets...people still gotta reply with respect.
13297092, It's great when they don't.

Lebron calling him a bum is a top 3 moment of the year.
13297095, me too but they don't want to get caught up in 45 sideshows
Posted by Mynoriti, Mon Nov-12-18 04:55 PM
Cali fire depts/associations have enough on their plate right now

i'm sure Trump would rather one of these guys clap back on his level. then the story becomes about them being unprofessional by disrespecting the president.

it's in their best interest right now to keep it professional.

2 years in, i still haven't fully got my head around it that this guy is president
https://twitter.com/TheContemptor/status/1063888277516820480

13298124, He's president becuase he says what GOOBERS think
Posted by handle, Sun Nov-18-18 01:51 PM
Trust me, about 85% of the white people in the South at the bar this Sunday morning agree with him 1000% on this issue.

And the smart Republicans who know this is wrong accept it so they can get their anti-human agenda pushed forward.

It's ignorance and cynicism.
13298129, he offered solutions
Posted by Mynoriti, Sun Nov-18-18 02:52 PM
they're not solutions based on anything resembling reality but he sold people on how these empty suits in washington and "scientists" (fuckin' nerds) over-complicate every problem that could easily be fixed with a wall or a rake, or some tough talk. to your average know nothing knowitall american, they just think finally someone who gets it!

13298132, You right. And it's hilarious how defiant these people are.
Posted by Brew, Sun Nov-18-18 03:51 PM
In the face of their blatant stupidity. I mean these people think they know EVERYTHING. I got a guy on facebook right now talking about "Trump was TRYING to say that some of the people marching in Charlottesville aren't even Nazis he just didn't phrase it right" like these people really think they understand him and can explain his every move/word/decision. That's how stupid these people are.

13298136, that's where it gets cultish because a lot of ppl like that know better
Posted by Mynoriti, Sun Nov-18-18 05:18 PM
I mean, being able to say 'imagine the reaction if obama said/did X' can literally be implemented multiple times a day.

the people like the guy you described seem to always start out with disclaimers like "look I don't agree with what he said" or talking about how Trump wasn't their first choice, but they always manage to find a way to take his side, which makes them just as cultish as the loons that show up to his rallys, because in the end, NOTHING is worse to them than some smug liberal being able to tell them i told you so.
13298152, EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY. You nailed it.

I've constantly responded to people on social media the last couple years with "for someone who claims he doesn't actually *support* Trump, you spend an awful lot of your time online finding ways to defend him/make excuses for him" or something to that effect. It's weird. If you know he's trash and don't agree with the things he does and says, why do you spend all your time trying to normalize the shit he does or explain it away ? Makes fucking zero sense. Seems to me that you actually, uh, DO support the guy but are just embarrassed about it.

And like you said, those people are actually WORSE because it's obvious that they know better. They're just not secure enough with themselves (and/or lack character altogether) to feel comfortable aligning themselves with a group of people that includes minorities, gay people, Jewish people, etc. They're cowards.
13298134, Oh, you mean his con man routine?
Posted by handle, Sun Nov-18-18 03:58 PM
Yup, I agree- - people in this fucking country can be conned by a salesman this shitty.

Reagan did it too - and he crossed over to Democratic voters too. I didn't understand it then - I don't understand it now.
13298125, Like Finland.
Posted by stravinskian, Sun Nov-18-18 02:05 PM

A rainy country where the hottest summer temperatures are typically in the low 60s.

They clean up the debris and they don't have forest fires. So apparently this is all Jerry Brown's fault.
13298128, also Finland pres: "uh.. I didn't say shit about no rakes"

13298179, Anybody else catch the "forest nation" reference?
Posted by The Real, Mon Nov-19-18 12:57 PM
I was laughing so hard when he said, "Finland said they're a forest nation." Because it's so clear that the President of Finland said de-forestation.

I'm laughing about it now just thinking about it.
