I think they all meet with Trump on a regular basis and get schooled on his lying philosophy, the same way Roy Cohn did with Trump long ago. He probably presents it in a very convincing, almost motivational way and they eventually forget about how despicable it is because it becomes a way of life

This is really sweet, but I have a nerdy issue hahah. I remember vividly at 12/15/95, Trey said his first concert was Jethro Tull at the Spectrum. I hope someone gets fired for this continuity error

I went to a modest No Kings protest yesterday. I saw clever signs. I saw singing and chanting. I saw positivity and hope and strength.

The opposition’s response? A video of the president dropping diarrhea on Americans.

It’s tough to live through, but I know how history is going to view this.

The implication that Trump could’ve closed it if he wanted to sure sounds like “You guys should be thanking the king”

This isn’t worth wasting your time or energy analyzing. There is no defense here. It’s not funny. It’s not strong. It’s not “triggering” because it makes absolutely no sense. Trumpt is deeply, deeply unwell. I see no reason to take him seriously if this is his idea of being “presidential.”

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Not sure what they’re doing? Hating America, obviously

Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Well put. I’ve been saying for a while, if you’re mean, this is the party for you, plain and simple.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

It is impossible to see this and not think it’s completely deranged. If you aren’t bothered that the President bragged about surviving an assassination attempt at a memorial for someone who was assassinated, you yourself are deranged as well.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Not that he ever put much thought into what he says, but you can see the thinking-before-speaking diminishing every day in real time

Vanilla Sky is on tv and I’m remembering a writing class in college where some dude wrote an original story that was the exact plot of this movie, including a dude jumping off a roof at the end for no reason, and then acted like he had never seen or even heard of it when it was called out

Great metaphor, haha. I think my favorite usage of fretless is like when you don’t even realize it IS fretless for the most part and then they throw in something really tasty and it’s like, hey wait a minute! As opposed to that constant whiny sound you referred to

I’m deeply concerned that as soon as Trump says “ok, enough, I’ll give you whatever you want,” she’ll hop right back on that train. Unless she had some kind of near-death experience and saw the actual god and is truly reformed, whatever she’s going though is likely very very fickle

I am sorry to announce the end of our friendship.

(Jk, haha. Fretless CAN be used horribly, no doubt about it, but for the most part i love it)

Aren’t these the people who have spent the last 20 years demonizing the idea of every kid getting a “Participation Trophy”?

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

(It doesn't work like that lol)
