Deficits only matter when Democratic Presidents desperately try to reign them in, not when Republican Presidents balloon them without need or cause.

You are fucked up for that one!

apparently there was a vanity fair article yesterday that said “Trump is apoplectic...” in the headline. Sounds like donny learned a new word

It’s even worse than that. This is Trump, in a backhanded manner, publicly pressuring the DOJ to follow his orders. By law he’s not allowed to go to them and order them to do something. But there’s no law that says he can’t go out publicly and say “I sure wish they would do the thing I want them to do.”

Trump absolutely does not know the word “apoplectic”....

So, “We’re not serial rapists. We’re just a pair of frat boy hacks who built their careers on fraud and misogynist fan fiction.”

I’m betting ‘apple-septic’

My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.

It’s so hard to really know; because men who hate women often also want to have relationships with and/or sex with women so their hatred is stealth.

He claims its “satire” because in the book he admits to multiple rapes (including to that of an underage girl). What do you expect him to say? “Yes, I’m a rapist?”.

Let’s just take his assertion that this is incredibly misogynist satire at face value. He also threw coffee and stalked a reviewer who didn’t like his book. He also had to leave another job for harassing a coworker based on her gender. Why do people keep giving this guy a chance?

“Throw her over,” Johnny Jr. advised me.

They profited by their “maybe it’s true maybe it isn’t” coyness once they started attracting the wrong kind of attention, and Ames’ Observer interview is, as you note, offered as purely factual.

Right. It doesn’t feel like “satire” if it seems like the “satirist” actually feels/does the things he’s “satirizing.” And what were they “satirizing” exactly? How Russian women are raped/threatened into abortion by expat douchebags? Hilarious!

All I can say is that reading this gave me flashbacks to the Seventies and Eighties, where ‘irreverent’ and ‘counterculture’ ‘satire’ were so often conflated with bald-faced misogyny. I feel like this is something that has actually gotten better.

Yes, it’s their justifying the abusive behavior smugly as satire, that’s repulsive and , what abusive people do when they want to continue their abusive behavior without shame, remorse, guilt or accountability.

Thats... unreal. I have truly never read anything that disturbing. Shit like that makes me think “Is this the way men really think??” Which is disturbing in and of itself. Satire or not, words like that shouldn’t exist in print.

I’m sorry but I actually had to stop reading this article. I found their own gleeful descriptions of their actions to be so repulsive. Who found this type of writing palatable or interesting. Being a self absorbed asshole in a country where you hold enormous power to violate impoverished girls sexually doesn’t strike…

There goes my appetite. I feel physically ill. How could anyone read those excerpts and think this is a joke? Those sick fucks! I want to crotch kick the shit out of both of them until their dicks don’t work.

Sexual assault satire, like rape jokes, are not funny.
