    Those weird sycophantic meetings where everyone takes turns praising Trump for the cameras always remind me of a classic episode of The Twilight Zone called “It’s a Good Life” (s03e08). For anyone out of the loop, it’s about a six-year-old kid who had god-like powers and used them to hold his small town hostage. Anyone that failed to tell him what a good boy he was and how everything he did was good and special would be “banished to the Cornfield.” The similarities are disturbing.

    Not true. He falls asleep when a group of grown ass people sit/stand around him while falling over themselves to fellate his ego. There is only one place he doesn’t fall asleep and that’s when there are children present.

    I do hatethis guy as everyone else but I have hard time to believe a picture like this out of contest.

    People do blink, so it’s easy to take a frame where it looks like he’s sleeping when he’s just shitting his pants

    he was greeted by kids cheer squad with flag pom poms. They should stay during meetings. It is rumored that Trump likes kids.

      Even worse, one of the videos they made a huge deal about was doctored to make it look like Biden was crazy, by cutting out some of it.

      Whereas, Trump is openly crazy, and we’re literally waking up every morning to something weird he’s done

    Abandoned key issues? For American people maybe, however I’m sure more financial goodies for himself and his family were confirmed. That was the only part that would matter to him.

    When you put up two people nearly 80 years in age and an 80 year old gets elected its time to look internally.

      Keep your eye on the ball or you’ll keep getting played.

          It’s an attempt to deflect and downplay the damage currently being done by saying “oh but both parties ran 80yr olds” as if that’s the problem and we don’t have an army of 50yr old fascists eager to take center stage.

            None of this damage could be done without Democratic help. They could have used the “nuclear option” when Biden was President, for example. Trent Lott ® started calling it “nuclear option” in 2000s, and bOtH sIdEs adopted the term quickly because it scares the proles half to death.

            It’s a simple majority vote, a parliamentary rule. Before Trent Lott ®, it was called “the constitutional option.”

            Democrats are playing good cops, open your eyes and see. They are all looting us right now.

            Please vote! I do too, but you should know the Ds won’t save us.

        “bOtHSiDeS” are absolute shit, how can you be so blind?

        They’re not the same, but they are both absolutely embarrassing.

        Oh, sorry, forgot. “eMbArAsSiNg TaKe”.

      Yep, from my perspective as an Australian, he might be making the world more racist, but on the plus side, the AUD is climbing against USD and we’re making major trade deals with China and Europe
