Exactly. We are loading the weapons that even moderate conservatives, the people we need to be persuading, will use against us if we are not careful. I actually think the “battle fatigue” and “trial balloon” ideas being floated around are quite accurate. If we aren’t careful, active instead of reactive and selective…

Georgia tried it in 2012 and lost $140 million because there was no one to pick produce.

A+ Running Man Reference.

I guess we’ve reached the check your papers stage of fascism.

Yes at 30 you are too old to get some of them. Welcome to the club, put on a shawl and pull up a rocking chair.

So true. Almost everyone in my line of work is like that. Some are actually good people (most are pure succubus with serious vitamin d deficiencies) yet they’ll gladly watch millions of people burn and starve and suffer so long as their taxes don’t go up.

Seeing that video makes me feel a whole lot better about wearing one brown shoe and one black shoe today and not noticing until after lunch.

It’s funny I hate people, but I want policies to help society. And some right wingers are nice, sociable and friendly, yet they don’t want to help their fellow man at all. It’s quite the dichotomy.

I’m starting to think there’s a huge number of people that can’t distinguish tv and real life. He seemed like a tough, brilliant business man on The Apprentice so people thought he really was that.

The hand patting came of as condescending

he insists on making it like a weird power challenge. If you watch him, he does this stupid tug of war thing every time and I’m sure, without a doubt, he over does it on the pressure. I hate men who do that because it’s such a stupid thing to want to prove. Especially since I usually wear a lot of rings and it fucking…

Same. Although I literally LOL’d when I saw the Prime Minister’s reaction after the “handshake.” Then I wanted to cry with embarrassment when I wonder what our allies think of us now.

I have never been in the Eastern Hemisphere - and even I know the Japanese don’t like excessive eye contact and touching.

He sure as shit spends enough time telling people how he’s a successful businessman...and I guess that makes some people believe him? 

I am clumsy, socially awkward and I don’t like touching people but even I have mastered a decent handshake.

Yep. He’s forced and awkward and artificial in every way. Almost like he’s always lived in his little bubble his whole life and just projects the image of a worldly, down-to-earth human being adult male person.

Well, we know he’s been bankrupt a couple of times and we’ve learned with is EO’s that he’s not reading or fully aware of what he’s signing so I wouldn’t call him much of a businessman either way.

Jesus Christ. One tiny upshot to this whole national embarrassment is that I now know, without a doubt, that I am not nearly as socially awkward and embarrassing as I thought I was.

He’s not actually a successful businessman.
