Why would you answer the first question and then plead the fifth on the next one. I wasn't really thinking this will be something that could actually damage Trump, but all these things coming out, media being all over it (which makes you think why weren't they before) and it's starting to look like this is having real momentum and impact. | ||

He's also a convicted rapist, conman and various other absolutely horrid things. But he's also loud, ignorant and most importantly rich and famous, so a lot of americans love him. It's the same issue on the "left" where tons of people unironically want Mark Cuban, Michelle Obama or John Stewart to run for President. It's celebrity worship. Btw: Lovely to see how the conservative media sphere is now trying to go for the classic "Obamna - lock him up" and "but Hillary!" to not talk about Epstein. | ||

Alternative take: it's never been different and the internet and social media have just fueled the fire exponentially. In any case, it needs to die. Gruesomely or peacefully, don't really care. I'd be happy to take up arms to deconstruct the likes of Facebook to be honest. | ||

Because there is tons of evidence of Epstein to be friend of Trump. There is less evidence of him and Trump organizing events that include teenage girls - although Trump alone did it publicly, holding beauty peagants. And also Trump hiring teenage girls at his resorts and spas, especially for massages. His defence might be that he didn't know who hired whom for what in his establishments. But he is Trump, so of course he is on video boasting that he hires underage girls for their looks and to serve him. https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-teenage-waitress-beautiful-video/ | ||

I love that they know he's not going to watch the whole episode so they made this clip and published it specifically for his limited attention span, best use of AI I've seen so far, maybe sacrificing environment to feed the AI gods wasn't such a bad idea after all. | ||

If you think Presidents should not have the time or TV is beneath them, I think you have picked the wrong guy to make your hero. | ||

This is like fallacy 101 slippery slope shit that's actually playing out because nobody cares anymore about policy and everyone cares about the optics. I hate populism.

Gruesomely or peacefully, don't really care. I'd be happy to take up arms to deconstruct the likes of Facebook to be honest. I'm only in my 30s but I very much remember it not being like this before the Tea Party. Republicans have rarely been on the right side of history since WWI, but they had a few moments of honor transcending partisanship. George HW Bush encouraged people to vote for a Democrat in the 1991 Louisiana gubernatorial election because the Republican nominee was a Klansman. John McCain telling off a woman that was accusing Obama of being a Muslim. It's inconceivable that Trump would do either of those things. | ||

I never really understood people like you, I mean, sure, it might not be funny to you, but those guys have been making this for almost 30 years and made billions doing it, obviously it's funny to some people, it takes a special kind of hubris to to proclaim something like this. Same with blowhards explaining to everyone how Colbert got canceled because he's "painfully unfunny". Comedy is very subjective, why would anyone be going around explaining what is and what is not funny has always been beyond me.

I did not criticize Trump for not watching it, I criticized him for having a famously short attention span as documented by many people who wrote books about him, especially his first term. | ||

They're literally just saying he has a small penis. Let's say that he does, as Stormy Daniels famously testified to, so what? That's not why he's bad. Of the million valid criticisms of Trump they somehow missed all of them and landed on that. He's a ridiculous man, he stays up all night getting into social media fights with randos, he lies about lies, he calls people pretending to be his own friend to spread rumours about how rich and sexy he is, he cakes on makeup using a plastering shovel and literally dyes himself orange. He's wide open for ridicule from a million angles and they're out there making up playground rumours about his junk? | ||

But the the funny part is this is the type of shit that will bug him and his super fans the most. The Colbert style super intelligent burns while amazing mostly travel so far above his head that someone else has to tell him why he is mad. They are hitting him at his level. | ||

The point isnt to provide insight into anything about Trump, the point is very much entirely to piss Trump off. When theyre making small penis jokes its almost entirely because theyre trying to be insulting rather than providing any commentary. They did an episode where they made fun of right wing freak's unreasonable anger and the entire episode boiled down to "right wing freaks have small dicks, lmao." Picking at his orangeness, or about his lies wouldn't have made him nearly as angry as the incessant tiny dick jokes. | ||

Mr Garrison already was a dig at trump about the orangeness and how unserious he was years ago. Its clear the difference now is that they are poking him for the dick stuff plus the little dictator stuff with him being like Saddam. Curious to see how it plays out | ||

Imagining how triggered a straw adversary might be by something and then throwing yourself a parade to celebrate is not effective. | ||
