    Remember when I lied and said I have a great job, a lot of wealth, and love outdoor activities? I was being “sarcastic.”

    Can this fascist geezer hurry up and die? I will make a special trip back to America to piss on his grave, after the fascism dies down.

    He said that while campaigning to become President. It’s a campaign promise. If he didn’t intend to promise it, then he shouldn’t have said it.

    Also, it seems Trump doesn’t understand what sarcasm is.

    He lied. He’s always been man enough to lie but a coward never to take responsibility for his lies.

    The Narcissist’s Prayer

    That didn’t happen.
    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
    And if it is, that’s not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.

      Signs of an abuser:

      • Dominating conversations
      • Suggesting they are the victim
      • Isolating the victim
      • Acting as if they own their partner
      • Lying to make themselves look good

    “See, if I am right about something, i was right about it from the start, even if I never said anything about it, ever.
    If i am wrong about something, i was clearly making a joke, was sarcastic or, on purpose, exaggerated the issue.
    It’s your fault, if you don’t understand or recognize what i do.”

    Aaaahhh, I want to hit his ugly face so bad my hands are itching. I want to see teeth flying out of his mouth, I want to see him cry.

    Right, violence is never the answer, but rarely are men quite as deserving of a beating as this piece of shit.

      Violence is the only alternative to fascism. You can’t negotiate with people who only negotiate in bad faith. The only end to fascism is to end fascists.

      Violence never solves problems, it only replaces them with new ones. However, at certain times in human history, violence has been used to replace an unsolvable problem with several solvable ones.

          Why do we need to wait to know that violence against fascists is the appropriate response?

          They killed over 100 million people the last time we didn’t give them the treatment they deserved. Do they have to kill billions before we learn the lesson?

            Why do we need to wait to know that violence against fascists is the appropriate response?

            This sort of thinking makes me “sound like a teenager” because I’m “trying to be Edgy”

            Lol no, anyone who genuinely thinks violence will not be needed because we will simply vote soon and it’ll all be over is either sticking their head in the sand, naive as fuck, or their lifestyle depends on things continuing as they are and stand to benefit from it.

            Like holy shit go to the 1800s and tell all the slaves if they want real change they need to keep their heads down and quietly protest in the back where nobody can see them. Similar vibes.

      And if he accuses someone of something, he is absolutely doing that very thing.

      And if he says “Nobody knows” he really means “I don’t know.”

      And he never laughs. What a psychopath.

    It was a hyperbolic statement by someone who is engaged in constant hyperbole (which is the word he meant even if he’s too stupid to know it). I’m going to give this one to him and blame any idiot who actually believed him. Also price of eggs but that one is sticking to him and I love that for him.

      Trump doesn’t do hyperbole. He’s a narcissist. He genuinely believes his own bullshit. It only becomes hyperbole/sarcasm/a joke/a negotiating tactic/[insert some other excuse] when he comes up short against his own limitations and reality.

        I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive, but I’m not going to fight about it. I’m sure as hell not here to stand up for him. I’m just way more pissed at the people who look at him and see leadership material than I am pissed at Trump for being Trump.

        Everyone knew exactly who he was and fucking chose him. What an indictment of our society that this was even possible.

      People now are saying ‘oh he doesn’t mean it’ and ‘its just a negotiating tactic’, ‘he’s just trolling’ about trying to annex Canada and Greenland. It’s one of his manipulation tactics, where noone can ever be sure if he’s serious or not, which gives him an advantage in that he can advertise the most shitty actions in advance and its still a shock when he does them, and he always has plausible deniability if he doesn’t do them. ‘Duh, it was obviously just sarcasm! As if trump would use the richest man in the world to dismantle the government!’
