buckle in for 3-7 more years of people saying "pee tape" daily
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 10 January 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link
oh hell yeah
that one really confuses me because the dossier does not say that trump got peed on or wanted to get peed on. he wanted the prostitutes to pee on the bed that obama slept in. yet everyone that says pee tape, they think it's a tape of trump being peed on or even peeing on the bed himself? no. wtf? how did this happen

yeah and when you step back from this for a moment, it's like DEEPLY insignificant other than just being Exh. 82036691 in the case that Trump is kind of a dick. Yet people are like "OOOOH PLEASE LET THIS NEW REVELATION BE CONFIRMATION OF THE PEE TAPE THAT WOULD BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT!" Supports my theory that a lot of Russiagaters are just the "oooh he said a bad word!" kid grown up.

Similarly, I always felt that the extreme obsession with the "grab her by the pussy" quote was about more than just sexual assault and betrayed a fascination with the sordid and juvenile, even though it's certainly also about sexual assault.

I don't disagree. And clearly the pro-Trump contingent is all like, "I lofe that Trump drives the pearl-clutching libs and the 'civilized' political profession crazy." So every time we appear to be merely clutching pearls, we do play into those people's hands to an extent. "Yeah! He's upsetting the swamp dwellers, and that's exactly why we voted for him! NO, it's 'not normal,' he's shaking up the conventional orthodoxies that have gotten us nowhere." Etc.
BUT, I'm also so opposed to him that I don't care what it is that gums up the works and/or takes him down. Russia, Rwanda, Rhode Island, whatever. Any and all ammunition to hand.

I'm immediately exhausted and awkward whenever anyone wants to talk about how amazing the Baldwin impressions are, or some other late night talk show joke about him- to the point I worry people might think I'm a Trump supporter. It's more that the those things make too much light of the whole situation and it feels as shallow as anything his supporters/GOP latch onto that's aimed in the opposite direction. Both too petty and too lighthearted. Only Vic Berger can effectively capture the horror show in the way I see it, by pinpointing the idiocy/ridiculousness and amplifying it. And Tim Heidecker's character in On Cinema & Decker is mostly a perfect portrayal of that exact kind of delusional asshole but in a setting that is more believable than the real life one Trump somehow occupies, without being the typical OMG Trump Impression LOL get rekt 800 million views

maybe four years off would do us all some good, we could come back refreshed with bold new zings, a great repository of saved-up petty complaints about life in the end times, and ready to poll everything all over again.

“Veg” (for “vegetables”; “to veg out” is fine)“Kit” as in “a good piece of kit”Hate both of these BrEisms.AAVE-originating slang when deprived of all meaning by white ppl and brands.“Punch up” is now a thought-terminating cliche and sounds childish.

Evan - there's chuckling at the boorishness in our spare time, and regarding it .
Hah, he can't spell, his hair looks ridic, he eats shitty food, Bannon wears multiple shirts, covfefe, Diet Coke.
If the #resistance began and ended there, that would be one thing, and it would be pretty weak-ass.
The thing is that most decent people are ALSO horrified about "tax reform," Dreamer shenanigans, travel ban, relaxed environmental regulations, poking North Korea with a stick, and defending Nazis. I mean, I feel like we CAN mostly walk and chew gum.
― mime kampf (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 10 January 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link
Well I'm not actually angry at anyone for wanted to joke about the situation in that way, it's just that it feels so insufficient and easy that I end up having no patience.

We've had plenty of crude and profane presidents. Both LBJ and Nixon loved crudity. But this was on a different level than mere crudity. There was (and continues to be) an element of shock and incredulity that a man capable of casually bragging about assaulting women was a major party nominee for president. Among the thousand awful or inane things he's said or done in the past 20 months, this still stands out as one of the ugliest of his self-indictments.

Not just an indictment of him himself, but also of everyone who yawned and said "oh, that's just boastful locker-room banter" and voted for the fucker anyway. Because, y'know, her emails.

"I moved on her like a bitch" was the sleeper hit of that tape, in that it makes no sense... what does that mean?
Evan I feel the same way about people in the Trump & GWB admin being 'rehabilitated' in the eyes of the public. the most egregious example being Sean Spicer at the Emmy's. larfing about GWB being a clown is not as maddening bc that's just the way time works, people forget easily, but damn, Scaramucci on CNN? Spicer at the Emmy's? totally baffling

"Gravity always wins"
Is this ever more than a meaningless expression where banal poetics are meant to invoke an ostensible poignancy?
'See also ppl thinking "craven" means shameless"
Thank you! I've recently had to look it up to make sure I was using it correctly.

i like it, but the threat of finding myself on a mall food court with a bunch of teenagers is pretty distant tbh, and even if it wasn't i have no bad memories -- or indeed good ones -- to have set up the association in the first place
tbh my attitude to most stuff in this thread is: go for it! not only don't get OFF my lawn, get ON it! my generation left yours an utterly fucked world, even if most of us don't acknowledge this yet, and i'd rather spend time being charmed by the babble of the invention of new silly habits than aggrieved that it's no longer something i get to do
