Narrator: it wasn’t
Yeah if he was the title would’ve said, “Slammed”
Sir, we’re calling it ‘schlonged’ now.
(Look it up, “Trump Schlonged”)
I know where this is from, but the images of googling "Trump schlonged " would cause most people to claw their own eyes out.
Understood. I should have specified that it’s a new Expression that Trump has… Redefined!?
He wouldn’t say he redefined it, more like he has tainted the word schlonged .
Is that the ball tanning thing?
Oh tainted gotcha ;)
It Was Also Political Suicide
DEAR GOD PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!
Narrator - “it wasnt”
Unless people go out an vote, it won’t be suicide. They’re just pandering to their base. The Dems need to participate and not go on good feels a la 2016.
he’s not planning to “win” by votes…
Yeah, but he’s not in power unlike 2016. Yes, we should watch for and be ready to react within the law to fake elector schemes, collaborating with hostile foreign interests, inciting coups and violence, etc but if we do, there’s fuck-all he can do about it. Trumpism dies with his political career. In the final stretch, let’s reject him with so many votes they can’t possibly claim another “stolen” election!
6 senators and 121 representatives (all Republican) objected to certifying Arizona’s results in the hours after the insurrection at the capitol on Jan 6th. He also has 6 justices on the Supreme Court who have already ruled that he’s above the law. Unfortunately he doesn’t need to be in power if he’s being propped up by those who do.
My concern is that Trump is defeated in the election, declared is stolen, and we do react within the law to fight it, but Trump is declared President by the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court anyway. Once Project 2025 starts rolling out as policy, how many of us are then willing to start reacting outside of the new law? Most Germans were not fervent supporters of the Nazi party. They just didn’t want to get in trouble with the ruling government. Are you willing to risk your life to fight the fascists? Are you willing to risk the lives of your family? Or do you learn to survive with your head down and not make waves…
Not calling anyone out for anything, but I often have to wonder about how I would react now that it keeps getting closer to reality.
Yeah man that’s probably what’s going to happen. It Worked for Bush against Gore when margins were close, and the supreme Court is even more stacked in their favor now. This is looking to be a similarly close race. My only question is will libs throw their hands up in defeat and let their last facade of democracy die or fight back in some way.
It wasn’t the rape charges, or saying he wants to fuck his daughter, or saying immigrants are eating pets, or that people are getting abortions at 9 months, or trying to build that stupid fucking wall, or banning Muslims, or botching covid, or the insurrection, or calling on proud boys, or having meeting with Putin, or having meetings with Netanyahu, or…
I will continue to say, and I mean no disrespect to you or anyone else who opposes this shitstain, the fact that he was President once and is very likely to be President again speaks volumes on who the American people are and it’s not nice.
A large chunk of you think this man is a good representation of you on the world stage. Someone who is weak, overweight, obnoxious, loud, a bully, sexist, racist, I can go on. This is who a large chunk of Americans feel best represents them.
Of course. I have always found it astonishing that anyone can behold DT and think he should be in charge of the country. Of course, same for Limbaugh or all the people in Fox who act like disingenuous assholes nonstop.

On Sunday at MSG, Donald Trump engineered what will be seen by political analysts and later by historians as the coup de grâce that killed forever his prospects of being president and may well have set him on a post-election course on which he finally may be held accountable for his actions.
That is wishful thinking.
Yeah, I want this to be the end of Trump and his cult. But I don’t think that it will be.
Like Emperor Palpatine, I don’t think he’ll actually die or stay dead…
That man is politically immortal. There is nothing he can do to “commit political suicide”.
Exactly. Just like the other hundreds of disqualifying things.
I came to say something like “too bad this guy is a zombie, smells like one too.”
He can lose, repeatedly. But that doesn’t really end Trumpism. It just mutates the brand into Republicans who can pitch themselves as “winners”.
A big problem with Lincoln Project Republicanism is that it doesn’t refute the fundamental fascist tenants of Trumpism (the xenophobia, the white nationalist Christiandom, anti-Democratic sentiments). They just pitch Trump as on the wrong side of foreign policy (not hawkish enough on Russia or China).
So we end up with Trump on one end and Ted Cruz on the other, as our range of conservative options.
Things have definitely changed and there’s republicans agitating to just blow it all up and start over. The old party wasn’t great but it was at least loyal.

There are Republicans who lost their primaries and want their seats back. But they aren’t going to throw away Reaganism to defeat Trumpism.
Everyone calls it Reagan, but he just did what Republicans were saying they wanted for decades already. In fact I’m not sure where the Republicans could fall back to ideologically. Ever since the Dixie Flip they’ve pretty much built their entire party around racism and religious extremism.

At the heart of every Republican is a British Tory who desperately wants an American King.
Ever since the Dixie Flip they’ve pretty much built their entire party around racism and religious extremism.
Republicanism, even back to Lincoln, was a theory of Industrial expansion. Modern Republicans simply have nowhere else to expand into.
Racism and religious extremism are about re-colonizing the interior a second time, with a smaller and more “pure” cohort of settlers.
But without the large locus of dense population like the party had when it was dominant in the metropoles, that’s increasingly difficult to accomplish.
What the GOP needs is a new Mecca (or, perhaps, a New New York). A large, population dense center of power to expand out of again. Maybe they’ve found that in Salt Lake City. Maybe they’ve found it in the increasingly right wing Texas capital of Austin. Or in Silicon Valley. Or in Tel Aviv. Maybe they’ll rediscover New York (Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo certainly suggest fascism still plays well in the Big Apple).
But Settler Colonialism 2 is the dream.
A new Mecca? The f’n MAGATs should shove off to Moscow.
That’s an interesting way to look at it. I’m not sure they need a single city though, the analogy kind of falls apart if you take it too far. But the whole restricting voting rights to white Christian men married with kids could certainly be described as a new form of colonialism. It’s essentially apartheid, and that was an outgrowth of colonialism.
aka “We’ve got Trump and Trump Lite, which would you prefer?”
Well what’s the difference?
Same calories Same awful foam Same horrible aftertaste Same miserable aroma
But the light version says the quiet part quietly.
Do you guys have trump zero?
It’s a week before the election. Mark my words, he WILL shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any voters.
It’ll be the final sacrifice, the saying was just part of a larger prophecy.
Paywall. Archive link please.
Donald Trump could walk around NYC naked and shrieking the n word and he wouldn’t lose a single follower from his base. He’s s got a cult of personality around him that is basically indestructible.
It seems that is what he’s committed to. There isn’t much talk of policy anymore from anyone on his team. They’re going all in on explicit xenophobia and transphobia and so on for this final stretch.
If he wins I swear I’m going to post a collage of these moronic article titles claiming gg ez a week before elections.
Feels 1:1 like 2016.
The headline was stupid and it doesn’t match the article. The article was not nearly as categorical, And said that the points in the speech are red meat for his base but likely to turn off undecided voters
That’s because 3/4 of the FSB intelligence department is rotting in a crater somewhere in Ukraine.
Trump literally can not be too racist for his followers. How has a headline editor for a daily newsletter not realized this?
The Daily Beast is essentially Fox News for democrats, and I say this as a democrat. I wouldn’t take much of what they say seriously. Especially their sensationalist headlines.
they seem like a sister pub of dailyKOS
I mean if ‘grab em by the pussy’ didn’t do it…
Dude commits political suicide for breakfast daily. His voters don’t care.
Exactly.
Donald Trump has committed like, a couple dozen political suicides and stood back up, which is fucking alarming.
It helps him drastically that his supporters do not consider the same things that the media does as “political suicide”. They instead see it as yet more reasons to support him, because he is everything they want to be: rich, powerful bastards with the willingness and shamelessness to be the most terrible version of themselves as possible. All because they hate poor people and minorities more than the rich fucks who are ACTUALLY fucking them over.
Lol, mocking a disabled reporter, bragging about sexual assault, praising Hitler and trying to overturn an election wasn’t political suicide, stop trying to predict last straws for his career, there is no bottom.
I think trump could go on stage, strip naked, turn around and shotgun ass blast on the front row crowd and they’d still give their lives to vote for him
Damn dude, there’s not enough xanax in the world to help me cope with that mental image.
The next rally would charge a premium to sit in the “splash zone”.
Thanks hadn’t laughed like that in a while xD
