Yeah but watching the President have a twitter spat with Kim Jong Un was pretty funny.

I was about 30% convinced that that Twitter feud was going to lead to North Korea firing nukes at the US. Trump just wouldn’t shut his mouth and I was freaking out.

Imagine getting put into a coma at the end of 2015 and waking up going online. You have to contend with the fact that yes, Trump for president was real, that people voted for him, that he is running for his second term and its an inconsecutive term. And that is all shit related to the elections nothing about 1/6, covid or ukraine.

I'll admit that for a week I said, "he won, let's see what he can do" and quickly learned that he was absolutely the douche everyone was saying he would be.

For me it lasted until the first press conference.

My god when Trump did his presidential announcement way back when, I was thinking this is going to be a weird few months while he does this publicity thing and then doesn’t get elected and we’ll never talk about him again until his next weird announcement. Here we are 8 years later. What a ride it’s been. I literally don’t think we could have come up with this in 2012. We wouldn’t have been creative enough.

I loved the interview when he was like ''mexicans, man fuck all of them racially'' and the wet nossle shit stick interviewing him is all ''oh that sounds quite racist... try saying hispanic or Latino people and say it's only the illegal ones you hate, it sounds less openly racist''

Like, good job asshole, you just helped him convince the stupidest non racists around that he's not openly racist. We really needed that to happen. His constant grooming to say shit that ment what he still always ment but wasn't just unbelievably blatant really pissed me off. How about DON'T help him, ask questions like 'what IS wrong with the blacks' and let him speak his mind. Why are you fucking helping him!!

But you know. Ratings were so good....

A heartfelt "fuck you" to everyone.

This. I felt so betrayed by who was on the ballot that I changed my political party to Green Party, voted for Jill Stein, took a job near a hippy little town in the woods, moved my kids, told them we were cutting off corporate America and changing our diets…only to eventually lose my house in foreclosure after not being able to provide on one income, with an unemployed spouse. I’d like to just say that it’s tough being new in a small town, but that wasn’t it. America f_cked my family over so bad in 2016, and politics/the election were just the tip of the iceberg of it all.

I took election day off and went to see Dr. Strange. I had been waiting 33 years for that movie so it is no surprise that it was a disappointment. Then, to see the exit polling was like a stab to the heart. What a crappy day.

"Maybe. But who am I to judge?"

Such an underutilized character, shame they killed him off.
