President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I dunno...

 

I may or may not have typed something to this effect in the box and then thought better of it before I hit 'Post Reply' a few times because I really appreciate @Alma 's point of view. Brings thoughts from a place I'd never consider otherwise and Alma is way, way, way smarter and disciplined at sticking to a message and being consistent and principled with it than I'll ever be. And I'm sure my tics and hobby horses are really easy for everyone else on here to spot and laugh at.

But there is a weird fixation with "coolness" that is fascinating.

It's like the Theory of Everything, but everything turns out to involve the dynamics of a junior high dance.

 

@Alma annoys the shit out me with his sanctimony, but posts like this are pretty fucking shitty.

 

Is there a way to like and dislike the same post? I'm thinking this might come in handy soon.

 

I think I was in high school during a dormant period for "hipsters.' Lots of cool kids, however (who fortunately did not torment me).

 

If you find out, let me know. I'm not entirely happy with my post either, but it is such a weird dynamic. It's like he is chronically ashamed to be associated with the people he's obstensibly on the same side with.

 

Zuck's in. Bezos on the clock.

 

For the record, I wasn't referring to your post, or anyone else's specifically, dixiehack.

 

I can't link as it's behind paywall on this computer, but check out Alexandra Petri's WaPo column on Zuck. Cold and hilarious.

 

Well, I did say I would be in for an inanimate carbon rod over Donald Trump.

The rod's name is Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuck's other platforms will be that air is good to breathe and we should provide water to people through the utilization of faucets and other faucet-like dispensers.

(Oh and by the way, a minor thing: all your information, likes, loves, activities, location and financial information...and your photos, videos, and memories are communal property to be utilized by companies freely and without recompense or complaint. That part isn't as important, though.)

ZUCK 2020!

 

One for every occasion:

 

I just realized his presidency is like if Statler and Waldorf quite suddenly had to host "The Muppet Show."
