“Your Diet Coke, sir”

Was he drinking out of bottles that had caps like beer? Because bottles of Diet Coke have twist off tops. The old version had the metal caps but I haven’t seen those in ages. I don’t drink any type of soft drink so I may not be up on the latest trends of bottle caps.

I knew he was mercurial, but he decides if he prefers ice or not each day?

One of my favorite things is when a Trump supporter being interviewed said he liked some picture of Trump eating KFC because it made him feel like he was just like him, like they had some common ground. Motherfucker was eating KFC with a golden fork and knife on his private jet.

Trump is a paradox. On paper he is the epitome of a coastal elite - born into fabulous wealth, native of New York City, went to an Ivy League school.

Why would you name a steakhouse after a sandwich you don’t even have on the menu?

It was donated willingly to her. It’s stupid to take issue with something like that. Just like it was stupid to blindly donate money to something before money was actually necessary. And if you do, well you have no right to judge based on your own actions. Nothing deceptive was played here.

And so ends a chapter in the life of a good woman who did a silly thing who simply did what everyone advises: “Ask for help.” Which she did. Let it be on the conscience of those who always seek ill in others first. Listen not to their shrill tweeting.

“Y’all Qaeda."

The Vanilla Taliban strikes again.

To be fair, Republicans have always wanted to scrutinize young girls genitals. Now they just want a legal reason to do it.

Also, what would stop these assholes at athletics? Why not employment or housing or or or.....

This Trump cult is strange in that they believe that Trump is somehow fighting for their “Freedoms”, and yet led them into behavior that will result in the loss of those freedoms.

I think the rage started when a black man dared to occupy the white house.  Of course even back then trump had a hand in inciting them with all the birther nonsense.

I agree with Barada_nikto_byotch’s point downthread that they were a cult just waiting for a leader, and sure, some of them would have willingly gone to storm the Capitol 5 years ago. But I don’t think it would have been anywhere near as many people. They’ve had 5 years of total desensitization of violence towards the…

Are they fully “weak-minded” though? It’s more like “hurt and wounded.” Plenty of otherwise ok people get drawn into this kind of shit because their basic needs just aren’t being met in their regular lives. About 2/3 of the people in Jonestown were Black. Most of them were drawn to the movement because it offered them…

Trumper’s seem like a cult who were waiting on a leader, rather than being recruited by one to me and unexpectedly got a consolidating one in the nations highest office through Trump (and his administration). I’d think their mindset has always been there festering, probably subdued by a progressive societal norms, but…

I was too young for Jonestown and didn’t know much about it, but a couple of months ago I read a book called The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn (very good; recommend for people who want a relatively complete picture of what happened, though the last few chapters are almost unendurable to read). Spier is right, and…
