    I just now realized… T**** hates Obama because Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

      Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

      It was so cool, the way Barry turned a blind eye to a decade of financial crimes while overseeing the automation of the Pentagon’s mass surveillance and automated their preferred tools for repression and assassination overseas. I loved how he prosecuted whistleblowers all casual and sexy, kept the torture prison in Cuba open indefinitely, and unleashed the FBI on the largest movement of black civil rights activists since the 1960s.

      Trump will never be as suave or as sexy while committing war crimes, suppressing domestic dissent, or papering over the horrors of the plutocracy. I ❤️ You Obama!

        Genuine question: why is this something so many people latch onto? He has done and is doing actually horrible things. Who cares if he needs adult diapers? He’s old, a lot of old people need them, along with other people with other issues.

        My rights are being eroded, I do not care about his diapers.

          I think mostly because Trump would care, as would a lot of his followers. That makes it an effective attack, even if it shouldn’t be.

          Because he already did horrible things for 4-8 years and literally nobody gave a single fuck - nothing ever happened, no consequences were ever met, and it’s clear that people don’t actually care about those things. So we focus on him being weird and dirty, which right-wing weirdos oddly actually do seem to care about.

          They’re both losing strategies, to be clear. You don’t peacefully get out from under fascist government.

          The problem is that people who need diapers are generally too old to see that the world is not as it was 25 years ago…

          Such old folks are just too obsessed in trying to turn back time.
