Maybe we should just elect Trump president

I'm not sure which is funnier…

The story of Trump's call with the Australian president, or this?

I am not understanding the meme movement anymore.  like when you said, in that other thread, i'm bored of this conversation.  that, is how I feel about memes, now.

How can you be over memes

I just think memes are current day parodies….

Most memes are dumb and worthless, but dickbutt will endure forever

realistic dickbutt is horrifying though

True that.

I may be taking a sabbatical from this thread.. i'm just overwhelmed by it all….waking up this morning to read that Trump is now picking fights with Australia of all places….australia?? are you frickin' kidding me?

He has turned out to be even worse than my worst fears.. remember all that stuff about how the system would contain him.. his advisers would contain him.. he wouldn't really be able to do any of this crazy stuff? guess what? he's doing it all at the same time…

As my Trump supporting sister-n-law said "What's wrong with praying for Arnold?"

Those motherfuckers.

i'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that terrorists of all flavors, including those that claim to be muslim, should be fought and defeated.

the problem with trump's ban is that is doesn't stop "radical islamic terrorism", it stops EVERYONE who happens to be muslim. 

there are plenty of christians who commit horrible crimes - why don't we stop the immigration of all christians?  even those who aren't practicing christians, just happen to be born to a christian family, were baptized and have a christian name?

oh, right, because punishing the 99.999% to get the bad 0.001% (all the while turning the 99.999% against you, decreasing its share) is stupid.

this is a fascinating read:

The Data That Turned the World Upside Down
How Our Likes Helped Trump Win

remember back before the election, how we thought trump's campaign was ill-prepared for the realities of a presidential campaign?  per this article, we believed that because we were operating in an old paradigm.  trump was being out-spent on advertising, in fact he wasn't spending at all on TV ads - that's because he didn't need to.  he was micro-targeting.  the days of one-size-fits-all messaging is over.

He can't just be diagnosed as an asshole who is also a sexual predator?

That describes quite a few men. One needs to be more specific than that.

Whoa whoa whoa
As a card-carrying member of the sexual predator asshole club, I take offense that Trump would be lumped in with us. We're awful, terrible, disgusting, vile, handsome people, but we're no Trumps.

relaxer, does hank belong to the club?  or is just part of douchnozzles anonymous?



(apparently rollins said this regarding the whole trump thing we're caught up in)

Rollins is just a big nerdy dork. I love the guy, but he's fucking nuts.

I love the fact that he's published like two dozen books all with the same message of "I hate people and communicating and I wish everyone would leave me alone but please buy my books first"
