      We saw what he’ll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he’s not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

    I don’t find this funny, I find it terrifying. We know he’s a narcissist but I’m wondering if ge sees himself as a deity. He did this cos he thought he’d get away with it. Does he think he inspires religious fervour?

      Narcissism often comes with an aspect of omnipotence, this idea that they must know all there is to know because the idea that something might be outside their sphere of knowledge would make them imperfect and since they believe they are perfect beyond reproach it would be impossible for it to be true. They really do believe they know everything and if you say otherwise it’s because you’re stupid and wrong.

      All narcissists believe they are a deity in the sense their world view is what they believe to be omnipotent which is a trait only a deity could have.

        I wonder if he does genuinely believe he has godly powers, or is Jesus himself. I wouldn’t put it past him

      Your average maga will say he was hacked by Iran and write it off, then commit adultery in the church parking lot before being absolved by a priest who’s getting his tally whacker sucked by a 9 year old boy in the confession booth. You have no idea who these people are

        This is why you should always say “and then he defended it publicly” in the same breath.

        Will you win the argument? No. Will you increase the amount of mental gymnastics they perform for your own personal entertainment? Yes.

    I have been looking at r/conservative on and off over the years. The Jesus backlash is the first time where every single comment was calling Trump out for his bull shit.

    Fuck it took a long time but maybe many of them finally see it.

        Mostly yes but there were a few comments like “ugh why did he do something stupid again” so mostly you’re right, but there are cracks. And in the last 10 years, it’s the second time we’ve seen any cracks. (Epstein files was the 1st thing they started calling him out on)

        When those cracks start to form, I’m coming through with my seeds of empathy and compassion so they can learn to stop beng dickheads. I’m gonna grow empathy trees in those cracks that destroy the foundation.

        (Unrelated but the floor in our garage cracked a plant started to grow in the middle. Can you tell? Also I’m rewatching The Good Place)

              my accountability partner right now is Jack, my son.” The pair receive a report on one another’s internet use once a week, Johnson said, although if “anything objectionable comes up”, Johnson or his son will receive an immediate notification.

              Imagine getting a spank report on your dad/son.

    I think people would respect the media more if they stopped reporting on everything from truth social.

    It’s just a bot farm made to stroke the ego of a geriatric rape ape

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
