    Well then, you and others have succeeded in his goal. What do you want me to say? That I renounce myself? Sorry, that ain't gonna happen.

    A president, now a former president, behaves in ways that anyone who isn't an absolute moron would never accept on a kindergarten playground.

    People don't inure themselves to it because they don't want it to become an accepted social more.

    Nobody is overreacting if they point that he's a douche or an unbelievably idiotic person every time he acts like himself. The guy is a former president. Being a fuckwad, a dishonest shit, a liar, a crass jerk (and everything else you can say about Trump) is not OK when you sign up for that job.

    Nope. Can't help you on this, either.

    I go right back to the Fetterman-Oz thing. It's a political jab, one politician at another. And as far as getting outraged over it involving life and death, that's not taboo anymore. Plenty of comedians have proven that.

    I'm not outraged.

    Nor have I suggested you renounce yourself.

    I'm curious about the Trump phenomenon.

    Part of which is the collective decision made by many Americans to no longer give a fuck about manners or decorum or empathy, community or decency, as long as Trump is getting a rise out of the starched collars and finger waggers.

    Carrot Top and Barack Obama. This is where we are.

    That's the best point that's been made. Yeah, I'm curious about it, too.

    No, its not too early to express outrage and his clown act; that's exactly what needs to happen, to expose his followers for following such a clown act. Ridicule and marginalization is the only thing that keeps clowns from seeking center stage. The sooner it happens, the better.

    Never had anything to do with "too early," qt. It had to do with the subject matter on this particular item.

    Imagine the CEO of your company acting like Trump does, and how your coworkers would respond.

    Now imagine it’s the CEO of the country behaving like that.

    Justin, you sound like it's the first time you discovered Donald Trump is a buffoon!

    Great.

    Now you understand that a plurality of the Republican Party wants to nominate him again, a majority of the party will vote for him in 2024, and when he loses again, he’ll behave in the exact same way … right?
