This. He’s Biff Tannen, not Niccoló Machiavelli. In some ways it would be more comforting to believe the country had been duped by an evil genius, but the truth is even more terrifying.

The truth is, americans in large numbers really are that hateful and stupid. Giving them the benefit of the doubt just gives them a head start at being abhorrent.

How are Trump’s misogynists doing? (Four women, just a coincidence I’m sure…)

It’s like republicans will die if they ever self-consciously process a word they say.

I’ll take up that signal for amplification:
Trump is a child molester, just like his good friend Epstein
and
Trump is beholden to the Russian mob and has broken the law
Rotting in prison or dead? Pretty please?

not just a few months ago people were complaining about nazis getting punched in the face.
so i guess we can pushback. we just have to find really nice and polite ways so nobody gets upset.

not if you’re a person of color, or one of the freshmen congresswomen he targeted
people are already getting churches firebombed, getting shot and stabbed, getting death threats and daily harassment
words matter. it’s only the unique privilege of white people that we can pretend they don’t.
yes, of course: congress and prosecutors keep piecing the puzzle of his crimes together.
but that’s not enough. he should be held accountable for his words and current actions.
he should be run out of office, russians or no russians. sex crimes or no sex crimes. he’s completely unfit.

They’ll remain gerrymandered and vote-suppressed in power.

Stephen King is right. If your skin is brown it better be a tan because the armbands are next. At least I had the satisfaction of voting against him in 2016. See you in the camps brothers and sisters.

Oh, the results are bad, but my point is that the evil it does is not the main intent. The main intent was to distract from the fact that
Donald Trump was a willing participant in Jeffery Epstein’s raping of underage girls
because that can actually land him in jail, and has a chance of pissing off even the racists who still stick with him. It is evil, but this Biff Tannen clone is only concerned with getting the spotlight on something else. Because saying hateful, evil things that harm others is not as easy to prosecute as rape or paedophilia or even his money laundering for the Russian mob.
This evil bastard does not care who he hurts.
He only cares about staying one step ahead of the law.

i see your point and don’t disagree with those fundamentals.
i think for all we know, it’s in direct response to his lack of ice raids this weekend.
but, i also kind of think: he’s just always a spiraling shambles of a man. he can’t close his mouth, and he’s very uncomfortable whenever anyone is talking about something he hasn’t put his mark on.
because he’s a crook, not very smart in the ways of the world, and a racist, and because his “technique” requires a constant ratcheting up to work… whatever he does or says this time, is always worse than before.
i really don’t think it’s a plan though. it’s more visceral for him than that. it’s like some underlying sense of a lack of control with a skinner box ( tv edition ) loop where he attempts to regain that high again

This exchange is why the BoingBoing BBS is my only social media. It is because of happy mutants like you that give me hope. Instead of attacking each other, we complete the picture.
And I do agree, it’s less of a plan than an animal instinct that drives him. I just want to see the bastard behind bars and stripped of his mob money, and his worthless children reduced to has-beens who nobody cares about any more.

Yeah, he is just as much of an idiotic asshole as he appears to be. But there ARE people with an agenda willing to get covered in poo to try and push him to get the things that THEY want done.

Hypothetically speaking…besides the inevitable tackling, beat-down and/or gunshot wounds from the Secret Service, I wonder how much prison time one could get for milkshaking the orange circus peanut?
