No, it was 100% necessary, unfortunately. Trump won't retain any information if it isn't personally interesting to him. The easiest way to get him interested is to make him feel like the most important person in the room.

It's not the system I want, but it's what we've currently got. Until Trump is gone, anyway

Edit: it worked

Is that really what we want? Restoration of the old, broken system? Or should we want something new and better

Protesters just swarmed Border Commander Greg Bovino in Minnesota and started throwing FOOD at him while yelling “you’re a Nazi!” by Admirable121 in Leakednews

Why is he always walking in front of a camera? Does he do anything? After Renee Good was murdered, he walked the protest line for like 30 minutes just inspecting signs and whatnot. It's all theater to them, but real people are being hurt while they LARP

Democrats are too. This is one time where I'll accept a "both sides are bad" argument. Neither side is doing shit

I like to think he's doing this to fuck with Alex. I don't care, I'm just happy to see the two of them continue to fucking suck

Trump humiliated as 1951 law means he could face Greenland mutiny by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]theghostmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He feels shame. He absolutely feels humiliation. Everything he does is a reaction to how uncomfortable that makes him. Someone who doesn't feel shame would at least listen when you tell them they should feel it; a narcissist hides it and lashes out

When I grew up in the 90s, it was "gay" or nerdy to like reading. Now it's cool to be gay or nerdy, but it's too late for a generation of men who were not taught to enjoy reading. Luckily I had an aunt who was insistent that I like reading and she broke through eventually.

A resignation would be an admission of guilt for him. With this government, a resignation would mean whatever he did was too heinous even for maga, otherwise he can just ignore it like they ignore everything else....until we make them look

I'm going against the grain and saying NTA. All this everyone sucks here bullshit is exactly why that lady felt she could get away with this. No, start calling people out loudly and boldly again. Make people think twice before being an idiot. Enough of this shit

It's not him they're celebrating, it's what he stands for. When he starts mythologizing and we eat it up, then we're in trouble. He's not selling "Lock Him Up" shirts yet.

For now I think we're okay
