Perhaps he’ll appropriate public funds to have a solid gold pyramid built for himself. The upside is, perhaps certain individuals will have the honor of being buried alive with him!
Redhats (aka Trumpsters) literally believe anything.
An American started a fake news website to see how ridiculous a story had to be before Donald Trump supporters realised it was untrue – and ended up concluding that some of them would believe absolutely anything.
Despite aiming to write stories no-one would believe, James McDaniel found Trump supporters who believed that Barack Obama had been plotting a coup from a secret bunker near the White House, and that the British singer Adele had demanded he be jailed for such treachery.
They believed that Obama had tweeted “Trump must be removed as president by any means necessary”, and when one commenter, ‘Truthseeker’, dared suggest the story ‘Obama ran paedophile ring out of White House’ might possibly be fake, he was told: “Really “Truthseeker” if you had ANY clue of the truth, you’d KNOW that Wikileaks hasn’t published ONE thing that has been false. So please use your own mind. Stop listening to MSM [mainstream media] and realize what the TRUTH really is.”
Another commenter, ‘Mary’, said caustically: “Truthseeker? Really … but the truth is bothering you?”
She then – apparently without irony – posted a link to the now notorious ‘Pizzagate’ fake news story, about an alleged a Democratic child sex ring in a Washington pizza parlour, which had prompted one credulous reader to walk into the restaurant with a semi-automatic rifle and open fire.
This was pretty great
Well Fuck You worked on his tax returns; why not for everything else?
Did anyone honestly believe him when he said that though? We’re talking about a guy who’s stingy enough to stiff a teenage dancing girl group out of a few thousand bucks. Of course he’s not going to pass up hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The tweet replies to that are great.
This link here goes into some detail:
Yesterday on my late-to-the-party viewing of West Wing, Hoynes’ election bid was blasted by an allegation of unwanted sexual advances made upon a staffer. Remember when crap like that mattered? Ah, the good old days.
I don’t think I could bear to watch The West Wing these days.
It’s somewhat akin to watching Leave It To Beaver in the age of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.
Shit, even The Wire and Oz feel crazy dated now. Both are terrific, but watching them now it’s so hard not to see the chintzy sets, bad lighting, and often rushed acting.
Are you kidding? That’s ALL we’re watching these days.
Don’t binge. Take a weekend to cleanse with something light like Wag the Dog.
We’ve actually not seen Wag the Dog. Also, this is a rewatch so we’re fine binging.
The wire was originally aired non hd, partly why it looks cheap in the new HD version.
Jesus, Microsoft, stop trying to make binging a thing!
I was talking more about sheer moral disillusionment and despair, rather than production values. Also, it’s not a linear path backward in time – the West Wing had good lighting. So did The Outer Limits!
