I mean, when these brainless chuds call him the greatest president ever, what "achievements" can they even point to to justify it? His reign was one of pathetic failure and spite and failure and self-sabotage and failure. How Herculean must self-delusion be, to take you that far?

he was the most persecuted, the most attacked

That’s easy, he was the greatest to them because he made them feel validated, and spoke directly to their worst impulses, and affirmed their own feelings of being righteous yet constantly wronged by others. And he clarified a confusing and frightening world into simple dichotomies that made sense and reinforced their tribal inclinations- us vs. them, good vs. evil. And he played up the conspiracy theories, subtle winks and secret codes, making them feel like they were part of something big and secretive and important, like some real life Da Vinci Code shit. In short, he made them feel like they’ve been right all along, and like all the worst things about them, that they’ve always been told were bad and should be hidden away or stifled, were actually their greatest virtues.

I mean, tbf, he did make America great again, even if he failed to do it again again.

Dropped that corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 % along with many other tax perks for the executive classes. Who gives a shit about the rest, the plebs are easily led by the piper.

Greatest economy the world has ever seen iirc
But obv epistaphanus is correct. HL Mencken "downright moron" quote n all.

He built THE WALL... he said he was gonna do it, and he did it!

It blew over, and destroyed tribal lands and desert habitat, and it wasn't finished or properly funded, and kids with backpacks can shimmy over it with ease... but he did it!

He was so badly mistreated and yet he won, I mean we won

The real wall was the one he helped us build between ourselves.

he built a wall of his own feces

He rewrote the Quixote word for word on the Wall, and still it became his story.

affirmed their own feelings of being righteous yet constantly wronged by others.

This showed up from a friend of a friend on FB today:

I AM TIRED and It is time for me to vent, please allow me to share my thoughts with you!
I’ve worked hard all my life, most times I put in 60-80+ hours a week, sometimes holding down three jobs. I sacrificed being away from my family for days, and sometimes weeks at a time, to provide for them! I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. I juggled being a father, a husband, a grandfather, a teacher, a bus driver, a business owner, a community servant, an elected official, a friend, and an employee. It wasn’t always easy. I'm no saint, but I DID IT, and I made sacrifices to do it. Sometimes I missed my wife’s, children’s, and grandchildren’s birthdays, school functions, or being able to spend holidays with them! I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic, sometimes to people that have sacrificed nothing.
I'm tired of being told that the government will take the money that I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people that are too lazy to work!
I'm tired of being told that I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which I am not allowed to debate.
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of all parties, talk like their opinions really matter to the common person.
I’m tired of any of these people even pretending that they can relate to my life and circumstances!
I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, whether they are rich, OR poor.
I’m upset that I’m labeled as a racist because I am proud of law enforcement and believe in border security!
I’m tired of being told that I need to accept the latest fad, or politically correct stupidity, of befriending a group that is intent on killing me, because I won’t convert to their religion, or their laws.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions, especially the ones that want me to fund it.
I'm tired of hearing them blame their problems on discrimination, or the government.
I’m also tired of hearing that, because I believe in putting America First, that I’m a racist.
I’m tired of hearing that if I believe in Legal Immigration of Immigrants, that I’m cruel, bigoted, insensitive, uncaring, racist and an elitist, just to name a few.
Yes, I'm really tired.
But, I'm also glad to be in the second half of my life.
Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world that these people are creating.
I am thankful that I'm on the way out, and not on the way in.
I just hate knowing that my children and grandchildren will have to face this screwed up world, which can only be redeemed by putting God back in our homes, schools, and country😪😪😪🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸
There is no way that these thoughts will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
Surely, the politically correct Facebook cops will try to quiet us.
If you're “tired” too, feel free to copy and paste.

glad this person's on the way out!

I juggled being a father, a husband, a grandfather, a teacher, a bus driver, a business owner, a community servant, an elected official, a friend, and an employee.

Sure you did.

listing out a bunch of totally common roles like he's working 10 jobs at once

"There is no way that these thoughts will be widely publicized"

I've literally heard this same screed, with slight variations, hundreds of times in the past few years alone.

I avoid posting on the annoying phrases thread, but I am tired of "I am tired"

I'm tired of being told that I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which I am not allowed to debate.

I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement

hmm ok

"of befriending a group that is intent on killing me"

what could this be alluding to?

So he owned the bus, drove it, taught his son and grandson how to drive it, was elected transportation czar on his Facebook neighborhood HOA page by a friend, and a clown as well?

i think the group is muslims, they keep asking him to convert to their religion and be subject to SHARIA LAW

I am sleepy

"I'm tired of hearing them blame their problems on discrimination, or the government."

wait I missed this the first time...wut?

can the following people die in a one huge plane crash:

Trump
Anthony Sabatini
Giuliani
every former press secretary of DJT
DeSantis
Abbott
Rubio
Aubrey Huff
Kevin McCarthy
Mo Brooks
Boebert
MJG
McConnell
Cotton
Tucker Carlson
Sean Hannity
Dan Bongino
Hawley

and then we can call it the day the fascists died

and we'd be singing

What a surprise the "fuck your feelings" crowd wants the world to bend to the will of their feelings

He’s on his way out, tough. Soon sweet death will arrive to fix everything for
him

These people hate Facebook but can't quit it

i kind of want sarah huckabee sanders back though

I fear Neanderthal's plan would give us President Ben Shapiro

Fun fact: in the Harry Potter universe his name is also a spell that summons a bench out of thin air

loooool A+!

I do like seeing this thread hover in tandem with the obituary thread. As anxious as the latter makes me, it's worth it!

what time was he getting reinstated again today?

I juggled being a father, a husband, a grandfather, a teacher, a bus driver, a business owner, a community servant, an elected official, a friend, and an employee. I’m a bitch I’m a lover I’m a child I’m a mother

A child and a mother, I'll give you.

TIL what a sundown town is

one of our more egregiously ugly parts of American history amidst an admittedly overwhelming selection of choices

can't believe it was only 7 years ago that tim mcgraw released an album called "sundown heaven town" without any controversy

In the run-up to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Donald Trump is doing interviews with conservative media - in this case, Hugh Hewitt - suggesting Osama Bin Laden wasn't that big of a deal and wasn't a "monster." pic.twitter.com/3xJXVn2AIM

"The guys I got were bigger!"

"bin laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center"

of course, the USS cole was another classic bin laden hit

Not many people got killed on 9/11, but each and every one of them started a band.

i'm sure hugh hewitt pressed him closely on this

pains me to admit it but this guy could say some deeply funny shit from time to time

no

"bin laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center"

Bin Laden more of a singles artist; never really put together a cohesive album.
