    The story of the emperor with no clothes has a very optimistic view of society because in real life the boy who shouted out that he had no clothes would be beaten with a stick.

    I’m fine waiting for 4 years to pick up whatever is left of our society if Congress doesn’t have the balls to impeach this guy back to ruzzia, but I want to see legislation introduced to specifically ban anyone who is a racist asshole from ever taking office at any level in our government. What is happening is not acceptable.

      As someone who’s neck is potentially on the chopping block in the regime, can we not with the “these Nazis are so gonna get it in 4 years” shit? It absolutely screams “this doesn’t effect me but I want the other liberals to know it upsets me a little bit”

    If I got to piss off that orange rapist you could suspend me too. Heck, I’m a straight man, but you could sodomize me with a pineapple in exchange for getting a solid punch in his face.

        Yeah, I think the thought went on sort of a little walk there. It started out by just getting good ol’ regular sodomized, but then the thought stumbled over “Inguess getting a dick in my output port isn’t bad enough, to convey the intensity of my desire for punching the dude in his stupid lying face” thus we end up with me getting a pineapple up my rectum.

        But then again we shouldn’t rule anything out, rule 34 and all

        Its not! I hope he pays his house and finds a better job. Paying off your house to stop being a slave is the American dream.

          He will not struggle to find work. I’d hire him in an instant already and i don’t even know his work ethic. He has the confidence and intelligence to call out the pedophile president like that, he is a good candidate.

    TJ Sabula shout “Pedophile protector!” at Trump, before the president responded with a middle finger and a “f*ck you”

    Pre-Trump, a President would have to resign with such a behaviour…

      Geico fired R. Lee Ermey because he gave a speech claiming Obama was bankrupting the country on purpose so he could bring socialism to the US. Just saying.

        I truly don’t understand that line of reasoning. At all.

        Putting aside ideological stances on economic and social structures, how does someone reason that the country being broke makes socialism more achievable?

          If I can remember correctly (and I probably can’t) I think they figured Obama would cause mass unrest, bankrupt the country with insane economic policies, then use that as excuse to implement martial law, then use that to pass a law that says we do socialism now.

          I’m pretty sure I remember that rhetoric going around during Biden too.

      While I agree with the sentiment, there’s always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
      Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president “go die in a shallow grave.”

      The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.

        I guess, Obama didn’t respond like this:

    I could just imagine some rando touring the White House, and they stumble across him. They start out so excited. Go in saying:

    Oh wow! Look at that! It’s the president! It’s great to me you, President Pedophile. Oh. My mix up. I mean, President Insurrectionist. Oh fuck, slip of the tounge! I’m just so nervous. Ha-ha! President Trump! It’s a pleasure to meet the Rapist-in-Chief. Oh fuck. There I go again.
