Don’t you just hate it when you’re so hard up on money thanks to losing multiple lawsuits that you can’t afford to buy new bronzer, so you dig the emergency supply out of the basement only to discover it’s expired but have to use it anyway since you’ve got to make a TV appearance nobody will take seriously?

He’s like… 85% of the way to blackface here. Is that the next step?

Trump should be in jail. Duh. He shouldn’t be in jail because he isn’t an aesthetician and/or doesn’t hire or listen to one.

He does indeed look ridiculous. Ridicule is appropriate.
Tying his appearance to his first of multiple criminal trials is also ridiculous.

It’s his actions that are criminal.

How about you keep your focus on that, O’Donnell, rather than filling video column inches with this petty, if apt, analysis.

I always liked this explanation.

Smearing Nutella all over your face isn’t a healthy look.
Palm oil isn’t good for your waistline. Or your hairline.

If you can’t get even semi-pro with your easy peasy video set up and meme-shot, what does that tell the average voter about the shambolic ineptitude that was so f’ing awful that tRump incompetence killed more Americans than Hitler!

That’s not mud, Lawrence. He’s drinking from the toilet again.

That assumption that T will not be saying anything… I wouldn’t bet on that happening.

I think they just mean on the actual witness stand.

We all know he wont be able to keep his mouth shut while he’s sitting at the defense attorney’s table.

Mud brown is not an appropriate way to describe any person’s skin color.

Probably true, but nobody is describing anyone’s skin as being “mud brown” here. That was a description of whatever the hell it is that he’s smearing onto himself.

Agreed; it’s too close to ‘mudshark,’ which is an old racial slur.

I’m ok with making fun of bad cosmetic use, but this description was too close to a racist comment for my comfort. I’m not saying O’Donnell had a racist intent. I do understand the distinction between skin and lousy makeup.

Yes, thank you, we have indeed noticed that Donald Trump looks ridiculous. Maybe the media could try to report on “news” that’s less than a decade old? There’s always his rapidly escalating dementia, or how his reelection is literally promised to bring about a dictatorship, if you can manage to pry yourself away from the “Biden is an old guy” narrative long enough.

Ugly people deserve the same justice in court as the pretty.

That is true, and his physical appearance is the least monstrous thing about him, regardless of whether many of the stranger aspects are a result of choice rather than birth.

I dislike bringing anyone’s appearance into the debate, but one can make the argument that this kind of weird, half-assed makeup job illustrates his tenuous grip on the difference between real and fake (among other things.)

A longtime friend appeared unannounced at 11:38 last night, and this was one of the first videos we watched together.

None of us had laughed so hard and so long for quite some time.

ETA: Those who are saying Lawrence should have been discussing much more heavy duty topics re: merkin von bankrupt are evidently unfamiliar with his work. 99.9% of his mvb criticism is heavy. He also criticizes those who say Biden’s too old, or question Biden’s cognition, etc and shows the evidence that mvb’s the one in major cognitive decline.

I’m all for hitting the apricot antichrist (thanks, Raw News and Politics!) with anything and everything. Point out the shite job he did as “president.” Talk about all the zillions of laws he’s broken. Bring up the horrific loss of life during mvb’s thorough mismanagement of the plague crisis. Show the videos of his gabbling utter nonsense and mixing up people’s names. And yes, by all means, please do satirize and ridicule the evil, ignorant ass.

Evil doesn’t know how to react when it’s laughed at.

fascists deserve the worst we can give them, because they are invariably among the worst of humans.
