There's no stopping this orange POS

He's been in our faces every day for the last 9 years.

The "Mexican rapists" speech didn't sink him.
The Access Hollywood didn't sink him.
The popular vote in 2016 didn't sink him.

Starting to realize there's no removing this orange stain from our politics. He's never going away.

You can't prosecute him, impeach him, bankrupt him or vote him out. And there's no separating his supporters from his vice grip.

He's like an STD or Wile E Coyote. And his entire identity is playing the victim. Meanwhile he's gotten away with his criminally and corruption for 5 decades.

Lastly I know his MAGA cult loves the fact Trump drives liberals like myself nuts.
They're just as abhorrent. And have no excuse for their willful ignorance.

So much they dont even know he isn’t president anymore, apparently, what with all this talk about him never being defeated.

20. His father was relatively healthy
Tue Mar 26, 2024, 11:24 AM

This was what he looked like at the age of 84:



He looks far healthier there than his son does now at 77.

It probably helped that he's of the age that he didn't live on junk food. Nothing's ever come out that he abused various drugs or even drank much alcohol, and not one peep that he lived a high-risk sex life, either.

Even if your genetics are conducive to longevity, you lose years off it if you live an unhealthy lifestyle.

but he ended up with dementia. Donald's lifestyle is extremely unhealthy and he is already showing signs of early dementia. With his temperament and lifestyle, I'm surprised he hasn't had a major stroke or heart attack yet.

The odds are not in his favor. One way or another, he will not be in our lives for much longer.

Is the forehead of daddy. That will push him into a mental institution. Maybe out of sight at his command. Only AI videos of him in Stallone’s body. No forehead pix allowed.

Because they wanted him to suffer an embarrassing election defeat. I thought at the time it'd be better to be done with him, because I was worried he'd never leave. Things have proved me right.

We beat his ass at the polls. And must do it again.

I've been copying and pasting this a lot today.

Amateur therapist! I hope it helps.

Control/influence what you can. The rest is like sports talk radio. Anything said before a game is meaningless, and anything said after it is pointless.

Courts have repeatedly failed but the ballot box has succeeded. They're the only power we have, which we can influence.

There are many ways we can help, even out of state.

The is a large section of our country that believes in their heart of hearts that this orange buffoon is the only hope for America, a true "man's man", that Biden is the one with the mental deterioration, and that all the charges against Trump are bogus.

We look at that mentality and laugh at the idiocy but they truly believe that shit. We have a huge part of our country that has been completely brainwashed and bamboozled. Undoing that damage will not be an easy undertaking, if it can even be accomplished. I believe we're going to be stuck with the "MAGA" type Republican for the foreseeable future, even after Trump is dead and gone.

In prison, he would still be making noise, he would still be on TV and in the papers everyday. One of these days, his tiny black heart will explode, and the entire world will rejoice.

22. He won't be making much noise out of prison
Tue Mar 26, 2024, 11:49 AM

His access to television and radio are limited, and he can't receive calls from the outside world. That means he'll be cut off from current things to talk about.

He won't have anyone at his beck and call to post things for him to social media, like he does now. He'll have to do that himself. But wait--he won't have access to a cell phone, and prisons don't allow access to social media on computers for inmate use. The computers, when he could get access to one, do allow email (text only) and some have a messaging app, but --only to a pre-approved list of contacts. Even with the pre-approved contact lists, All activity is monitored. Plus, he has to pay to use what few services he can access.

Most prisons allow prisoners to make unlimited calls, but only to 25-30 people on a pre-approved list. So he can't call whoever he wants, or whenever he wants. Lights out and all that. Prisons are rather serious about enforcing that one. So no more 3 am rage-tweeting.

Prison will do a great deal to shut him up. Maybe not entirely, but enough that communications from the evil one will dwindle to the point that people can start forgetting about him.

Are you sure you're in the right place?

There is no invasion at the border. Refugees aren't coming across in tanks or flying over in fighter jets and bombers. They're escaping situations that, for the most part, we created in their countries. Learn some of the history of US-Latin American relations before even trying to argue that one. I promise what you think you know about it isn't what reality indicates.

DEI & Cultural Marxism? Are you for bloody real, mate? Addressing gender and racial issues is a good thing, not cultural Marxism. Anyone who uses that terminology has no bloody clue what Marxism even is.

Again, are you sure you're in the right place?

As will his enablers.

Because we, the still sentient American voters, will make it so.

Chin up, as they say. We're going to get this done.

Someone did tell me it would be easy to raise a child and I'll never let that person live it down.

Seriously, I think that living under a Trump dictatorship would be harder than fighting him, so there is that comfort.
