It wasn't Bieber, no...just can't remember who it was.

"Weird" Al Yankovic

That was it: I'd been calling him "Wired" Al Yankovic since "Eat It," and no one ever bothered to correct me.

A minute ago, Trump earnestly asked his audience how they can stand all the daily Clinton and Obama scandals. (Obama?) "It must wear you out." Pretty clear by now that having to deal with daily craziness and scandals would not be part of a Trump presidency.

i think it's time, it hasn't been said for awhile

"good luck lolmerica"

it's like half the country is holland and the other half is russia

Which country has more absurd self-mythologizing? In our case, the mythologies come in both barbed wire and picket fence varieties.

1/3 Holland 1/3 Russia 1/3 somewhere less depressing in Eastern Europe, maybe the Czech Republic

ok i can get with that

Jon Schwarz ‏@tinyrevolution
After Clinton beats Trump the Democrats will, as with George W. Bush, politely never mention him again

huh?

u know, every shitty thing HRC does will be met with WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE TRUMP?

as in every drawback of O's admin can *actually* be traced back to W

that... what?

Worried that morbz has lost the ability to read

I mean that tweet says the exact opposite (for reasons i cant fathom) of what morbz posted

it's called sarcasm

lol yeah Dems NEVER bring up Dubya, just like he says! what a Shakey world.

Jon Schwarz isn't famous enough to have earned the ILE Neolib Contempt Badge

so do they bring up dubya or do they not bring up dubya i'm still confused

they don't not bring up dubya, or do they?

smdh

who is jon schwarz

i think you mean DUMBYA

Morbs, sorry not sorry to let you know this, but you are too blinded by rage to be any good at sarcasm.

Jon Bermuda Schwartz

sorry WmC i am blinded by age

But how is the situation analogous to dubya if trump is never president idgi

Xp

Like how do u blame stuff on someone who never did anything

And since when do presidents ever blame anything on their vanquished, non-office holding opponents that is literally a thing that has never happened

/scratches head/

i hope they bring trump up again in 2018 to remind everyone who the assholes currently running supported

that's the beauty of it... Democrats will find a way. Look at the insane obsession with every scrap of trivia about him chronicled above.

There is a gay Hillbot blog where one of the droolers called him TRUMP THE DICTATOR. I didn't realize he was already a head of state somewhere.

it's called sarcasm

Shakey, it's the Dem rank-and-file i'm talking about

c'mon man

i'm sure you and i will both be voting straight working families, but let's not pretend that there's no difference -- if less than we might like -- between hills and donald

your instinct to antagonize has been totally overtaken by actual white supremacists antagonizing

Morbs has the political acuity of a really, really bad SNL election sketch

i have complete faith in the democrats' ability to somehow fail to brand the republicans the Party of Trump for the next 20 years (the way republicans succeeded in doing with Jimmy Carter for so long, with far less justification)

the Tories in England are STILL talking about totally made-up overspending by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as justification for their austerity budgets (fyi this is how the real players play the game)

In fairness what both systems have in common is that both the left and the right conclude after any defeat that they must move to the right.

Yes, the key that unlocks it all

That was true for a historical period, pretty much for the 40 years from 68 to 08 I guess. But Obama was - at least when he was campaigning, Morbs :) - more left wing than Kerry, and the GOP can't get much further right at this point. The official response after 2012 was that they needed to move left on several topics such as immigration, though of course at that point they'd been caught in their own bubble and could do nothing but elect Trump. But they'll pivot, even Trump is trying to pivot back into a more subtler and implied racism, though he's spectacularly bad at it.
