rolling “Trump is gonna win” containment thread

georgia is gonna have one polling place in the whole state, and it'll be in marietta.

Although I registered to vote by mail, the early voting site -- my local library -- for our local primaries was so quiet that on a visit last week I said fuck it and voted. I felt completely safe and was out in three minutes.

The Washington Post today summarizes all the pre and post election fuckery they are planning: Pre and post- election lawsuits in swing states, recruiting people to " watch ballots be counted", etc.

think this can only backfire on Trump

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING SHIT LIKE THIS

CUT IT THE FUCK OUT

honestly i think an important thing to do is be mentally prepared for the idea that this is going to continue all the way to january 2021. it doesn't mean it will certainly happen, or that we're doomed. but that sense of catharsis that so many people are looking for probably isn't going to come in a single moment on november 3

c'mon rush it's not like dumb shit like this doesn't backfire on him all the time

how'd the Ukraine/Hunter Biden thing go for him

i am just tired of people who have no particular knowledge or expertise on a subject making PREDICTIONS unsupported by any empirical evidence whatsoever and this is what passes for "political discussion"

The Biden/Ukraine thing didn't hurt him? If not for COVID the Senate would have been in 24/7 session discussing it and might be in October.

Why does he want to be president so bad when he despises America? If i was a 75 year old billionaire with a beautiful wife and young son I’d focus on having a fulfilling retirement.

He could golf, take guitar lessons, teach Barron about the real estate business. There is no reason to spend his golden years ruining all of our lives.

what makes you think he cares about his wife and son?

Are you asking rhetorically?

Why does he want to be president so bad when he despises America?

He wants to be President so he can siphon money out of the country and into his accounts while flexing power against the people who mock him.

Just a thought donald—i know you’re lurking.*

*i do know this by the way. dm me for my source.

Like it's pretty obvious to even a casual viewer that he is a damaged megalomaniac who cares for nothing except attention and money and pussy.

Exactly. He's president to enrich himself, and whether it's 2021 or 2025 he's start his own Trump network, which will eventually go bankrupt and he'll leave the debt to somebody.

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Obama made fun of him on stage, so now his life has to be dedicated to showing us all he's not a LOSER who'll sit down and take that

is he a billionnaire?

Obama A black man made fun of him on stage, so now his life has to be dedicated to showing us all he's not a LOSER who'll sit down and take that

I agree that making predictions esp in the year of our lord 2020 is folly

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Why didn't Warren Buffett retire to a private island after his first billion 50 years ago to snort experimental healthy cocaine off perfect butts for the rest of his life?

(my assumption is usually some kind of mental illness, but it could be just a lack of conscience and soul)

Big Mac face was reportedly worth $2.1 billion back in April.

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

Why do you think billionaires are billionaires in the first place?

Aside from maybe athletes or performers/artists, anyone who could spend a million dollars a year for the rest of their life without going broke but continues to dedicate their life to the accumulation of wealth is a soulless monster who can never be trusted.

Milo, thanks

That line of Bernstein's from Citizen Kane has served as a lodestar:

"There's no trick to making a lot of money if all you want is to make a lot of money."

i am just tired of people who have no particular knowledge or expertise on a subject making PREDICTIONS unsupported by any empirical evidence whatsoever and this is what passes for "political discussion"

there's also no evidence this will help Trump. there's plenty of evidence that fucking with the mail system is going to piss off a lot of people. this is bad because Trump has a very established ceiling. he can't afford to lose any of them.

to snort experimental healthy cocaine off perfect butts for the rest of his life?

i kind of want to start keeping a list of hypothetical heaven scenarios

to snort experimental healthy butts off perfect cocaine for the rest of his life

i mean hey, if jeff bezos wants to sell off amazon so he float in endless circles in a pool of expired pudding while nano-bots gently tug upward at his nipple hair, that's his right

Why would a virus rage on until it's killed the host it needs to survive?

Because gimme, that's why.

Gimme.

he isn't good at anything else. he's arguably not good at making money, either. but he thinks he is, and that's what people think he's good at. what else is he doing to pursue? good conversation?? lol

he likes to cheat at golf

plebs dream about making a ton of money so they can finally not have to work and do whatever they want. trump has always been able to do whatever he wants. there's no extra fulfillment in quitting "work" so that he can go do whatever he wants. he's always been able to do that

He is what happens when you cross 'sucks shit at everything' with 'possesses a bottomless well of spite and the will to keep drawing up the bucket'.

Like imagine if he'd ever applied that willpower towards, like, improving a single aspect of his shitty self.

i mean if trump wants to quit so that he can, i don't know, have a team of nano-bots tugging upward at all of his nipple hair fly him around his golf courses while he gargles expired pudding for the rest of his life, that's his right. but he's always been able to do that

He can't even improve his hair, OL

the question "how does donald trump think?" contains one too many words. it's also a boring question and one we all know the answer to. i know that this is a shitpost thread but i continue to hope that we can eventually attain a higher level of shitposting than this

xp - having nano-bots pee on you just isn't the same as having real human women do it

xxpost The day and a half there when he stopped slathering it in Cheeto dust was a slight improvement, I have to say. He almost looked like a human. Almost.

Who would want more money when they’re already a billionnaire?

this is adorable

i'm not sure he even wants money so much as he wants to be endlessly praised. the money is just capitalism's means to that end, but it certainly hasn't seemed to buy him even a modicum of happiness so long as the NYT or WaPo or god forbid ANYONE is criticizing him at any time. his only basis for determining whether a person is good or bad is whether that person is willing to publicly praise him at all times.

making him president was an insanely awful idea because when you're president, millions of people are going to criticize you and hate you and shit on you regardless of whether you deserve it or not. pretty much every other president has been able to grasp this concept (eh, maybe not Nixon so much) but it entirely evades Trump.

i'm not sure he even wants money so much as he wants to be endlessly praised.

Daddy issues are America's number one killer in 2020.

yeah the morning after he was elected that was my main thought, "how is the most fragile man on earth going to deal with this?" the answer of course....very poorly

i just don't get it, why certain people put SO SO SO much time and effort into trying to _understand_ horrible human beings.

if you want to understand someone, you need to walk a mile in their shoes. don't understand donald trump? congratulations! you're probably not as terrible a person as he is. why are you trying to change that?

when one of them is President of the United States and is actively making decisions to make everyone's life work I think it's worth a little effort

I don't think anyone outside of some #resistance accounts and people who want to write a book on him are dedicating their lives to understanding his interior life (spoiler alert: he doesn't have one).

But I mean we're all just animals puzzling over something we don't understand, like a chimp handed a Rubik's Cube.
