That and smiles. Feels like a superpower just giving people genuine smiles and watching their whole face change

If it were anyone else it's not a stretch to say nearly being killed would shake a normal person and cause some trauma. With Trump on the other hand that behavior seems almost masturbatory, like he is trying to re-live the moment where he was the center of attention

Shamelessly stolen joke but of course he's Tampon Tim, aren't tampons what you use to help stop a red wave?

Or aerosolized cooking oil if the house is open enough or possibly vape residue if they vape at all

Okay how about we stop calling it a meltdown and start calling it a temper tantrum just like the ones toddlers throw. The solution for both is the same, putting them in a corner and ignoring them until they act like reasonable people while the adults keep things running

Well yeah he fucked with rich people and their money, it was a foregone conclusion

I get that gradually tightening the screws and doing this extremely methodically will ultimately end up with the most amenable outcome. This is a fundamental test of our legal system and it has to be followed to the letter for it to work.

That being said that's pretty fucking small comfort to a country that jails people for decades for possessing a plant that is legal in many states and yet won't hold accountable a man who we witnessed stirring up a mob to attack the fucking captial building on live television. He's a cult leader that is given a chance to speak on a national media stage again stirring up his base until they storm the capital again.

This is what happens when you don't bring the fucking hammer down on violent authoritarian fascists. Who has to die to make it clear that this sack of shit needs to be bound and gagged while his trial proceeds?

It's a catch all just like "communism" and "socialism" were/are. Big words that people don't know the actual definition of that can sound scary

Will these stubborn old fucks just retire and disappear into wine country or something? You are creating a world you won't have to deal with the consequences of and the longer you hold onto power the less experience the next generation of leaders can attain and will ultimately weaken your party and has already weakened the country. Go. The. Fuck. Away. You. Old. Cunts.

Modifying the cliche phrase, good times make complacent people, complacent people want fast solutions, fascists promise fast solutions, fascists create bad times, bad times create aware people, aware people create good times
