Trump said something incredibly stupid? Wow, that is news!
I mean vote a retard in and he does this, how can you be surprised?
People get mad about the word "retard" and I understand that, but holy fuck has it been difficult to spit out a more fitting word than "retard" these days when dealing with anything MAGA. It's all just so removed. (I see I can't say it with the ed on the end)
Naw, playing it off as that fucker having a limited mental capacity takes away from the culpability of his actions. Hanlon's razor absolutely does NOT apply to global leaders: the only assumption we can make is that everything he does is calculated and the effects of which are 100% intentional.
People with mental retardation might do something harmful because their DNA dealt them a shitty hand and their mind isn't equipped to self-correct in a socially acceptable way.
When Trump does something harmful, it's because he wants to cause harm, cuz he's an evil sack of shit.
Demented, at his age it is what it is and we call it dementia
I mean, the dementia and the neurosyphilis and the chronic drug damage don't help, of course, but Trump has been mentally challenged all his life.
Willfully ignorant.
Yeah it’s fucking retarded, man. Fucking retarded.
I may start using that word again, only in the context of MAGA.
Do not conflate willful and spiteful ignorance with mental disability. Only one is a choice.
Sure, but one doesn't exclude the other. Trump's got both.
this is America.
a zombie state that doesn't realize it's already dead.
and nobody is willing to do what must be done to stop it.
Gotta cut off the head
The fish rots from the head. The status... is not quo.
Can’t go off the rails if you’ve never had rails
He's done a lot of rails at least
He claimed Los Angeles limits residents to just 38 gallons of water a day, and referred to some mythical "valve" that could bring limitless water to L.A., but that officials instead diverted to the ocean.
"They have a valve, think of a sink but multiply it by many thousands of times the size of it, it's massive. And you turn it back toward Los Angeles. Why aren't they doing it? They either have a death wish, they're stupid or there's something else going on that we don't understand," Trump said.
Just turn the giant valve?! Why didn't I think of that!
Maybe hes thinking of the fact that ~80% of California's water goes to irrigation for crops instead of to communities.
I don't know if I can handle 4 more years of this.
We will all endure.
Block social media that centers on him or politics. Find like minded people. Do things you love.
or there's something else going on that ~~we~~ I don't understand," Trump said.
He was so close to realization.
They either have a death wish, they're stupid or there's something else
You know what they say. Everything that comes out of their mouths is either a confession or projection!
Stupid does apply here, just not in the way he thinks it does. Also, who is "they"? Is he just referring to liberals?
I hate “they”. Whenever someone at work says “they” I immediately ask “who?” and don’t get off of it until they actually name a person. Does wonders for stopping the random boogeyman.
