When his cost of living goes way up and he is unemployed, he will have a change of mind and no doubt blame Biden.

I have a couple of Thai friends who came here on student visas, a little over 10 years ago, and never left. They’re both married with kids, and their husbands are undocumented, from Mexico.
They are petrified.

Most are just too stupid to know they’re stupid.

Dunning-Krueger Effect

Sad to see such a once great nation dragged to these depths. What I find depressing is that many of these trumpanzees are boomers who lived through the Cold War. For them to have their brains so thoroughly wiped of memories is horrifying and testament to the power of brainwashing.

Surely they would consider the likes of Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Casper Wineburger, Don Rumsfeld etc. to be RINOS. Madness.

Where’s the pontificating Looper ?………… maybe he’s been stung
by the snake oil salesman 555.

Anyone with savings has probably been stung by the tariff kerfuffle. Americans chose Trump despite his unsuccessful first presidential term and Biden's very solid economy. Americans looked at what the other mob were offering and said "hell no". Not all Trump voters are Trumpsters. They can be unpinned from Trump (but insulting the deplorables makes this less likely).

The Dems don't give a fxck about many Americans on Struggle Street. They're too busy cozying up to Hollywood, feminists and other fxcking woke trash. They had told those losing jobs from globalization to learn coding. I'm not surprised the grievance industry is booming. Hollywood is loathsome (e.g. Rachel Zegler). The Dems are unappealing. I quite liked Biden but there's little or no sympathy for masculine frailty in the modern world.

Republican, Democrat, Independent doesn't matter. They are all bought and paid for and have only one single goal. Get reelected! George as ever is spot on.

They can't get re-elected without kowtowing to sponsors, which of course are usually corporations, and who now can donate freely after a conservative SCOTUS said they are "people".

I see Suzie Wiles, Trump's campaign chair, thought the Democrats ran a very flawed campaign. She said voters want authenticity and Harris wasn't offering that. One of Clinton's former chiefs of staff, Panetta, said you can't tiptoe like Harris into the Presidency. That looks too weak.

Biden's aids and cabinet should have stood up and convinced him that he could not run sooner, so that a proper Democratic primary could have taken place. That primary would have chosen a real candidate who could have defeated the orange moron.

It wasn't just her. She was relatively centrist.

It's the whole democrat platform. It (or should I say It/They) is fucking barking.

Why do you think they lost everything.

Which Trump impression is the best?



The first one was the best for me, although the hosts disagree.

Shame they did not play more of the Shane Gillis studio segment as it is quite good

If he's getting his cues from those two chimps, no wonder he spouts so much bollocks.

If you are unable to find humour in someone doing an impression of Trump (and quite a good one) then I humbly submit that you are truly a reactionary, blinkered and blind partisan.

Trump is obnoxiously conceited in many ways (although part of this, in his second term, has become self-aware self-parody I suspect) so most people, particularly opponents, would normally find impressions of him (i.e. lampooning and making fun of him) to be amusing.

I think you have truly lost the political plot if you are no longer able to find humour in parody, which used to be apolitical neutral territory and common ground for the masses to share a viewpoint, regardless of their political neural wiring.

Which is precisely what you are, you trumpanzee dullard.

^I will happily admit that Trump is riddled with faults and problems in his personal style and many of his policy strategies.

Will you admit that there are some aspects of Trumps governance and policy that are actually good?

e.g.

1. Securing the US southern border
2. Deporting the most dangerous illegal migrants
3. Pushing back on the badly thought out DEI policies of recent years
4. Pulling the rug from under the Trans nonsense
5. Focusing on a process to improve government efficiency
6. Dismantling some of the more farcical US AID programs

You don't have to agree with all of them but do you agree that some of them have some merit?


If not then who is the blinkered partisan?

The question is not whether you are able to find Trump himself funny.

The question is whether you are able to find humour in somebody doing an impression of Trump.

Doing an impression of a political leader is lampooning them. Almost anybody would normally find such an impression funny, if it were well done, regardless of their political preferences.

.

It wasn’t the impressions, you simpleton. (although the world has grown tired of Trump impressions) It was the two humorous turds, that were rating them.
And by the way, you don’t have much credibility calling someone “reactionary, blinkered, and blind partisan”, when you post links to two of the most partisan hacks, in Michael Knowles, and Ben Shapiro.

I don't think the 2 hosts were trying to be funny themselves, but if you want to subtract them from the equation, did you not find any of the Trump impressions themselves funny?

This was an overstatement. I do not think people have lost the plot, if they do not find Trump impressions funny, but I do find it curious.

Given that impressions are making fun of someone, i.e. belittling them, I would think that normally their political opponents would relish such parodies even more than their political sympathisers. It is curious if a leader is able to evoke such a negative reaction that even their opponents find simply lampooning them to be without humour.
