also kinda just seems like trump let his jaw flap a little too freely again cuz he's a fucking idiot who's failed upward because the standards of the rich seem based on appearance and illusion rather than competence. Again. The man is a smarmy grifter who failed upward until he popped the top and now he's either going to jail or the system is going to reveal that its corruption is complete, although since Clarence Thomas still holds his position despite his behaviour and his backsliding, retrograde judgments clearly indicates that time has past. The ouroboros was retarded and crawled up its own asshole and died - that's America right now.

Cuz like, have you listened to any of his recent speeches? It's the sound of a flatulent mind. They could be used as intelligence tests to determine how gullible a person is. Every single person who comes out of one of those going "yes yes he made some good points" needs to be collected at the exit and sent to a monastery in the Himalayas so as to receive an actual education since they obviously skipped out on the first pass. Nawm sayin?

Anyway the outrage isn't anything about a social media network, it's just that trump used a new dog whistle for the first time in that video. who knows or even cares if it was altered, he has damned himself with his own mouth so many times and the fact that it's entirely plausible that he said this, and consistent with other shit that has fallen out of his face, is the problem.

If you find the reaction hysterical, perhaps you aren't well-informed about the reasons for the reaction. Hysteria is not the correct response. Shutting down your government and replacing it is. All of you, at once, now. Fail at that and america's over, though it's pretty clear it was killed on 9/11 anyway. Y'all just feeding on the husk.
