Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Republicans in disarray!

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Contest: 7 Words or Less

This post is in: 

Let’s have a *contest.  Describe Trump in 7 words or less.

Don’t complain about him, don’t worry about him.  I suggest we limit ourselves to just derision and mockery.

I am including my spirit animal for inspiration.

Open Thread, 60 Minutes, I Will Vote Concert

*Inspired by The Moar You Know, who who included the description “second generation slumlord” in a comment in the previous thread.

    I’ve always liked “Collection of cancerous cysts inside human skin”

    But “Seventy-four year old toddler” might be more accurate, if less emotionally satisfying.

    “Midas in Reverse”

    Though the Scottish invective “Ya Tangerine Ballsac!” has its charms.

    “Something Wicked This Way Comes” works too.

    @Baud: I really wanted to find an image of Paul Lassiter (from Spin City) making the loser sign.  I loved that he was proud of it – when people would make the loser sign at him, he thought it was the “L” from Lassiter, and meant as a compliment.

    The answer is simple.  In the same way “hoover” is a presidential insult, the word “trump” is going to be far worse.  It will be used whenever some shithead is a mendacious, narcissistic, and destructive loser.  Basically “Newt” on steroids.

    “Sociopathic” is a personality  disorder, so does it reduce Trump’s culpability to some degree?  I don’t want to describe him in a way that is just petty or inaccurate or has to do with something  beyond  his control and making…

    Soulless, heartless, greedy, dishonest, predatory, shallow buffoon.

    “second third generation slumlord”

    And from brothels (maybe) to Epstein..

    PS I’ve referred to him as Clickbait since 2016 so as not to provide him with clickbait by typing his name. But I like Baud’s suggestion at #1 the best.

    @eric: Friend of mine was telling me that his seven year old daughter uses “Trump” as a playground insult. Usage: “You’re such a Trump!”.

    I, of course, congratulated him on his parenting skills.

    I went looking for the name of the magazine that dubbed him “short fingered  vulgarian” (SPY) and found this glorious graf from 2015(!) containing several excellent qualifying entries:

    And of all the SPY celebrity villains, it was Donald Trump, the “short-fingered vulgarian,” they loathed most of all in those early years. Trump was also described as “Queens-born casino operator”; “ugly-cuff-link buff”; “well-fed condo hustler”; “joyless punk millionaire”; “employer-of-white-people”; “tiresome punk infidel”; “the wife-dumping Atlantic City strongman”; and I’m sure a dozen or more other descriptions I’ve missed in those glorious archives.

    https://pando.com/2015/07/23/short-fingered-vulgarian-cometh/

    “wife-dumping Atlantic City strongman” may be my favorite.

    @Baud: This is, in fact, the fucking answer.

    I’d also submit “Whiny Ass Titty Baby” and append “Loser” at the end of that.

    Infantile; therefore, sadistic, paranoid, and credulous.

    This also describes his enablers and supporters, with the debatable and obscure exceptions of those who are only looking for opportunities to steal.

    @Jim Bales: Festering colonic Abbess?  I think you meant “festering colonic abscess.”  Unless you’re suggesting that he’s some sort of nun with an appointment with a gastroenterologist?  That works too…..
