They went crazy! They were eating the dogs! They were eating the cats!

It was the best Haitian barbecue they ever had!

Ok I’m gunna be thay guy:

In the context of what we’re given in the article he could have very well been talking about the people at home and how mad they are about him(and all of his obvious lying) being corrected. He does know now, well after the debate ended, that the MAGA losers are foaming at the mouth over this.

So he’s probably not imagining an audience that wasn’t there but I’m still not ready to be 100% confident in that.

This is white washing his crazy. There is no reason to give someone who constantly babbles nonsense the benefit of the doubt. If it sounds like he meant something crazy he probably meant it just so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

The problem with that is that, being on the reasonable side, if we just assume the obvious and then are somehow 'proven' wrong on a specific topic (there are thousands of them, so it's bound to happen sometime) we legitimately lose actual credibility in the eyes of people who matter.

Like the 'they're eating the dogs!' things. It's perfectly reasonable to mock him for it being an issue, but insisting it has never happened and that even the idea is ridiculous, opens the entire side to being wrong if even one crazy or oblivious person of color has ever done it, which it almost certainly has. I mean if you look hard enough, you could probably find a crazy example of that from any cultural group. One example and pretty much all the mocking gets flipped around in the minds of anyone only half paying attention, and certainly from the other side next time we insist something doesn't happen.

I was gonna say this, actually. I hate trump with a passion, I think he is a jackass and a moron, and I can't stand his brainwashed, braindead cult of idiot followers. That said, I'd like our hatred and anti trump rhetoric to stay valid and focused in this reality. He was clearly talking about the people watching the debate across the world. Let's not stoop to his level by misrepresentation.

Funny how "we" always have to interpret and deduce WTF Trump is talking about... you'd think that a candidate for President would have a coherent thread of thought and, at least, a modicum of clarity in his speech

[–] FlyingSquid 47 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

You and I are seeing very different contexts:

“And they didn’t correct her once,” Trump told Greg Gutfeld. “And they corrected me, everything I said, practically. I think nine times or 11 times. And the audience was absolutely– they went crazy.”

That really sounds like he's talking about an audience he heard. I'm not sure how else he could make such a claim.

9/11? I wonder what the Qlerics would say about that.

[–] Soup 10 points 6 hours ago

I definitely see that too, which is why I’m aaying I’m not 100% confident. Man’s insane and I wouldn’t put hallucinations or a broken memory past him.

Anyway, I don’t want to get too involved in defending that shitheel so I’ll leave my thoughts there.

[–] Iceblade02 -1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, Trump already looks bad without us making shit up. The only thing that would do is cast doubt on the veracity of real critique and ironically give him more legitimacy.

[–] Burn_The_Right 34 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There are absolutely no limits to conservative gaslighting attempts. Conservatives are simply incapable of honesty.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme 7 points 4 hours ago

Literally millions of them are about to vote for the most pungent pile of shit they ever stepped in simply because otherwise they would have to admit they made a mistake ever. To themselves.

Is the crowd in the room with us now?

[–] Darkard 50 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He's IRL doing the rambling made up story from Facebook that ends with "and everyone clapped"

In his next interview he's going to talk about a fan of his that he met and end with "and that kid was Albert Einstein"

"That man's name? Hannibal Lecter."

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 8 hours ago

A wonderful man!

[–] [email protected] 87 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

He just can't stop inflating his crowd size.

[–] FlyingSquid 30 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I just hope we don't start hearing about how all the people cheered when he took a shit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 52 minutes ago

Aren't those the stars people give on Twitter or Truth? (Or whatever Truth Social uses for upvoting.)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

The biggest shits of all! Yuuuge!

Bigger than Jesus, Bigger than wrestling. Bigger than The Beatles, and bigger than breast implants.

I took a shit the other day - they don't want you to know this but it's true - took a big, big shit, a really beautiful, big... big shit, I stood up and said, "Wow, that's a big shit." People are saying it's the biggest shit they've ever seen. Lots of people are saying it, it's true. People come up to me and say, "Mr President, sir, we've never had shits like that before." And Kamala Harris, Fartin' Kamala - I call her Fartin' Kamala - she wants to take your toilets, folks. No more toilets, that's what they want, it's crazy. I had more toilets - thousands of toilets, beautiful toilets. And now you have - they're killing us on toilets. It's a disgrace. My plumber, he's the most amazing plumber, folks, he's always doing the pipes and the... Y'know what he tells me? All our plumbing is coming from different countries, bad countries. Why aren't we using good American pipes? We're gonna bring back American pipes, people. It's terrible what these foreign pipes are doing to this country, awful. We had a beautiful deal with China, it was a perfect deal, but now they're killing us - you know what goes in those pipes? Gas, and many, many other things, but gas - really powerful stuff, very powerful. They wanna take our gas, folks. It'll all be electric, electric cars and... all the other things, electric. If I win, we're getting rid of the electric, no more electric, folks, it's terrible, it really is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

That's coherent. Otherwise it wasn't bad.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He just can't stop inflating his everything.

Seems he really had trouble to accept his penis size and wants to compensate with...everything

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's true. Google "Donald Trump inflation " for more information. Make sure you turn safe search off, the GOP has been trying to cover this up for years

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I'm good. Thanks though...

[–] AtomicHotSauce 19 points 8 hours ago

Ok, look. The only reason these douchebags put up with his inane bullshit it’s because they all know, even as stupid as most of them are, that he’s also incredibly stupid and is easily manipulated by people who are really pulling the strings. They’re hoping he’ll be dead not long after actually stealing an election, and they can move forward with Jorkin DePeanus and their master plan.

Even if he lives for the term, he’s still malleable to what advisors tell him to do anyway.

[–] danc4498 27 points 9 hours ago

Wow, a Fox News interview. So brave.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

I’ll stop calling them fascists when they stop being fascists.
