It’s funny how whenever Trump goes on one of these tangents it’s always reminiscing about some woefully outdated way of handling whatever he’s complaining about, just like the old man he is struggling with understanding the modern world, too bad his voters are every bit as lost in modern life.
That’s the difference between someone like him and Biden.
Biden is old as fuck and has some old fuck ideas, but he also realizes he’s an old fuck and his old as fuck ideas are outdated, so he relies on experts and not quite as old fucks to advise him.
Someone like Trump (and pretty much everyone on the right these days) will only take advise from anyone that simply re-enforces his own old fuck ideas.
As much as I would like a younger president, I would much rather have a body there of any almost age that listens to the advice of experts. Someone who surrounds themselves with the best minds and makes decisions based on their expertise is better than any one person. I still would prefer a younger person that did that though.
Which is funny too considering how many of Trump’s friends were stand-ups or in comedy in general, like how Trump was a good friend to Howard Stern, whom is mostly friends with comedy or music legends, Howard even talks about Trump being one of the last people to leave Howard and Beth’s wedding. Although now Stern thinks Trump is a huge un-american piece of shit after Trump’s election and presidency.
So Trump has been around enough comedians to know a thing or two about stand-up, but his material just isn’t good at all.
This shit ain’t even funny anymore.
I didn’t know you had flies in Iowa. I hate flies! Now they’ll. I’ll get in trouble for saying that. Cruelty to animals. No it’s true.
(laughter)
You know, I said the other day I was at a place and it was a beautiful place, but they had like, flies. And I said, get flypaper! They said, “Sir, they’re not allowed to sell it anymore because of cruelty to animals.”.
They actually said that! I don’t know. Can you get fly pa-? Used to be great, right? But they said, “You can’t do that anymore, sir, it’s cruelty.”.
What the hell is going on with this country?
The GOP frontrunner for the Presidency of the United States is clearly falling deeper and deeper into dementia.
Yea, I feel like people are always trying to find some medical reason to explain Trump and why he is the way he is. But I think we don’t need one, the man is dumb, he is cruel, he is selfish, and he was given enough money to get away with being like this for his whole life. We don’t need a diagnostic tool to figure this guy out, he is exactly how he seems.
No. Hard no. I’m old enough to remember when Trump was the laughing stock of the entire country in the 90’s. He has not been like this his whole life.
He’s been eat up with Narcissistic Personality Disorder his whole life, but now he’s straight senile. This is not the same bullshit.
This sounds like some “how much is a banana”… he’s so disconnected from reality.
OK, the guy is crazy and I don’t like him or his politics, but really do you think Biden isn’t going senile? The guy can’t even finish a sentence half the time. Can we not get someone that isn’t over the age of 70 in the whitehouse!? Seriously even 60 is getting to a “retirement” age and should be slowing down, not taking on the most important role there is in the country’s government…
Ok, but that headline is weird. I can tell you exactly why he said that shit and it’s not bizarre, it’s just gross.
Trump’s rhetoric relies on a wide variety of in-group references and cultural touch points and pretending to be the reasonable one while framing anyone left of him as an absurd caricature is how Trump do. It’s what his base likes. They want to pretend that their opponents are ridiculous people concerned about cruelty to flies instead of basic necessities like pest control. They’ve built this whole narrative where Democrats are simultaneously weak, ineffective losers and also somehow a grave threat to the very fabric of our nation.
To his base It doesn’t matter if the specifics are factual, what matters is that the broader gesture feels true (by affirming their existing biases).
Classic fascist playbook tbh.
Flies love shit.
I bought fly paper last week to get rid of some gnats. It was from amazon, not the black market. The guy lies with every breath.
You mean I didn’t need to give a guy a blowjob in a back alley to get some flypaper? I’m definitely going to keep that in mind next time I give someone a blowjob in a back alley.
If you’re doing back alley blowjobs, at least make sure you keep getting something useful out of it.
Walmart sells Raid flypaper. Got a strip hanging up right now because I had a party over the weekend and of course got a bunch of houseflies. The guy is off his rocker.
