    Donny’s just sad he’d never be able to get someone to spend 77 years with him.

    Where’s Melania?

      Waiting in the wings for her cash and prizes.

      (She might need to consider a Plan B for that.)

      I think it’s far worse than this. I don’t think there’s anything in the world that could bring him happiness. His pathology will not allow for it.

      You know the way that the love of your family, or love for your family, brings you happiness? Yeah, that doesn’t work for him. His parents fucked him up real good.

      Republicans played with the lives of hostages for political gain. They prolonged the Vietnam war for political gain. They are almost always on the wrong side of history.

    Mmm yes, let’s kick one of the last honest politicians in existence while he’s down. That’ll soften your horrific image, big boy.

      What’s wonderful is that the next few days are going to be full of coverage of the Carter presidency, and the Carter marriage, and the Carter family, none of which involve the many stains on the Trump presidency, the Trump marriages, and the Trump family – so many stains at this point that everything Trump just looks like the bedspread in a by-the-quarter-hour motel.

        Unfortunately, I expect it to be full of coverage of Trump shitting all over Carter’s presidency, marriage, and family. Trump has never passed up the opportunity to get one last kick in on someone who’s literally on their death bed.

          It’s cause and effect, lol. All Trump can see is the attention Carter will be getting, not the reason, and he has to strike back because in his warped worldview Carter is stealing eyes from him. Never mind that the reason all eyes are on Carter is because the man just lost his best friend and wife of 77 years – actually, that level of personal success at marriage probably just makes Trump hate him even more.

          That’s why I think it’s fantastic that the news will be full of the Carters and the Carter legacy: Trump can’t avoid it, it will be everywhere he goes, and he can’t stand it so he has to lash out. At this point I don’t think the particular POV of the reporting will make much difference since we’ve all already made up our minds, and no one actually expects Trump to exhibit a human conscience anymore.

          I just dig all the coverage because the whole thing is a wide shovel up Trump’s narcissistic, endlessly solipsist ass.

        Only one thing to add to that: his voice must be heavily controlled. Not taken away of course, but he must not be allowed to pontificate to his drooling followers. He’s never been shy about embracing stochastic terror while a free man; imagine his behavior when he has less to lose.

        The only people (other than fellow inmates) listening to him should be the prison guards. And when he complains that he’s being treated unfairly with his uncomfy bed or whatever, they can silently gesture to all the identical cells around him for the hundredth time.

        Maybe when he’s lost the one thing that gives him a sense of power he’ll be forced to attempt some kind of introspection, and hopefully find the tiniest kernel of empathy.

        Or I can just wake up from my daydreaming.

        It won’t end until the bigoted vitriolic overzealous self-aggrandizing assholes have something to fear again.

        The genie is out of the bottle and too many freaks have been emboldened to be open about their racist, misogynistic thoughts.

    It’s a party of hatred. When he got elected after mocking that camera man for having a disability, it should have been clear for everyone what the republican party stood for.

      As the parent of a special needs child I was completely aghast about that. Doesn’t even make sense because they want people to “pull their own weight” (which is just what that person was doing)!

    Conservatives delight in the suffering and misery of others. This is simply who they are at their core. It is not a trait they can change. They can supress the public expression of this trait when it serves them, but deep inside, they thrive on the knowledge that a vulnerable person is suffering.

    Be cautious in your dealings with conservataives. They do not value the lives of people or animals the way a normal person does.

      Jesus bud. The powers that be in the Republican party and a conservative are two different things.

    Stuff like this is why I consider republicans to be worthless filth.

    Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.”

    “Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.

      Which is really interesting since Jimmy Carter’s presidency was one of the most competent we’ve had in history. The only reason anybody shits on it is because of the smear job the republicans and the Reagan campaign did on it.

      Lack of technology =/= lack of sophistication.

      And hominids were unlikely to use caves as shelters for an extended period of time without working the stone.
