    Funnily enough, this very thought came into my head a while back; I'll bet you that Trump plays 'Fortunate Son' at his rallies. Lo and behold, there's a clip on YouTube of Trump arriving to one of his shindigs by helicopter with Fortunate Son playing. Such was my disbelief that I was actually expecting him to whip it out and piss down in Rapture and Redemption on the toothless rubes below.

    But then again, Trump probably doesn't know what the song is about and just thinks it sound like 'Murica a la Toby Keith.

    Having said that, I recall Paul Weller lamenting that Eton-educated David Cameron counted The Eton Rifles as a favourite song of his. I'd be absolutely certain that Mr. Cameron understood explicitly the sentiment behind that song, so who can tell with Trump?

    The media really needs to start pinning him down on his BS. A decade of acquiescence to his rambling stream of consciousness has only borne rotten fruit. Every single time Trump, or a Trump surrogate tries to peddle the man's bullshít?

    Every single interviewer should nail them to the floor and drag out the explanation and refute it. Fact check everything he does in real time to his tangerine gob!

    Yet Trump won in 2016 and performed far better than most expected in 2020. I think it that complacency could cost Biden the election.

    What is so unbelievable about this? This is where we are now. Trump is the new Jim Jones and his supporters are the new People's Temple.

    he’ll be back in court in a few years time when it transpires that Russia paid for the pizzas.

    They are trying to do what the Dems did with "let's go Brandon" and own it....

    But are failing miserably

    Of course complacency could cost Biden, or any politician an election.

    Do you think Biden is being complacent?

    (According to MAGA, he's both sleepy Joe and simultaneously organising a multi-jurisdictional series of prosecutions of Trump to stop him from campaigning while sullying his reputation)

    Not sure how you could look at the US and see 75% of Republicans believing the 2020 election was stolen; see the most (hypocritically) religious people in the country treat a rapist who is currently being tried for fraud related to payments to a porn star (who mocks him about his dick size and performance) as a christ like figure; see the stupidest people in America like MTG, Gym Jordan, Comer and the borderline paedophile Gaitz be de-facto leaders of the Republican party; see huge support for the fascist Russians from the party of Ronald Reagan; see all that and think Democrat complacency is the issue. The Democrats are trying to figure it out but the country is so f***ed up with disinformation it's almost an impossible job.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,248 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I think the risk with complacency would be where one side has a big lead in polls, and their supporters think they don't need to vote. And the polls have missed silent supporters of the other side. The tight polls mitigate against that.

    MAGA candidates seem to have been underperforming versus their polling in general elections of late.

    So I don't see that here.

    The actual Biden campaign itself seems to be geared up to have a good go at it. Apparently they now have campaign offices in nearly every state, with multiple offices in the swing-states + the staffers to run them all. So they at least seem to be organised for November. With any luck that organisation with keep the voters motivated and with any luck get the vote out, which is critical to beating Trump. If the voters get out there and actually vote, then Trump's chances are greatly diminished, but a lot of that is down to getting people out there help make it happen.

    On the other side of the coin, the Trump campaign has spent its money on Donnie himself. Apparently they have no offices, anywhere and everything appears to be pinned on the rapist "Truth"ing stuff and going to whatever rallies he can be arsed to attend. The MAGA crowd are numerous and feral enough to still go out and vote regardless of what Donnie does however, so he might be hoping / banking on voter-apathy to give him the presidency with little effort put in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,028 ✭✭✭Rawr


    Also, I bet you this kind of "support" must be driving Donnie mad. He wants to play-act as a perfectly healthy alpha-male, but these overly supportive MAGAs are publicly highlighting how old and dysfunctional he is. It's not a great look, even if they are trying to claim that "Only Real Men" wear adult diapers. I don't think this is a particular angle that they can successfully market to anyone beyond the most commited MAGA cultists.

    "VonShitzinPants" and "Real Men Wear Diapers" 🤣🤣🤣 i just cant believe this….my co-workers thought i was having a siezsure i was laughing so much!!!

    yo! donnie vonredactedpants,vlad putin,benji netanyahu,vic orban..you sirs are the skidmarks on the jocks of humanity!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,521 ✭✭✭randd1


    People being proud of wearing adult diapers because Donald trump wears them.

    I honestly cannot fathom the level of cultism and stupidity amongst the people that support him.

    Idiocracy is now reality.

    Is it actually confirmed that he wears nappies then? Like, actually proven?

    To paraphrase Dara O'Briain, "When the world knows you wear adult nappies, no more affairs with porn stars for you".

    a large proportion of people his age have incontinence, so from stats alone it would be likely enough. What is more, even if the incontinence were not severe a public figure like him couldn’t afford to be caught out occasionally with patches or stains, so it would make common sense to wear protection. There are medical interventions (eg bladder Botox) which friends of mine with MS avail of very successfully, and I’m sure he’d be offered that, and surely he would would undergo a safe effective procedure like that 🤔 If bowel leakage is an issue there’s a method to deal with that which I won’t go into, and maybe he wouldn’t cooperate and just resorts to protection and a lot of perfume. 🤣

    Surely were just a step away from them drinking kool aid laced with poison because he told them to… oh no wait that already happened when they drank bleach because he told them to…..

    I’m not sure why you are responding to my post with this “Not sure how you could look at the US and see 75% of Republicans believing the 2020 election was stolen;”. I never suggested the election was stolen, quite the opposite in fact. I’m simply stating a fact which is that Trump performed better than most expected in 2020.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,072 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    He was wearing them when he appeared in WWE. He wasn't THAT old then.

    He's famous for having an abysmal diet so I suppose it makes sense. It'd be nice to have it proven instead of just being meme material.

    🤷🏻‍♂️ do you want him to pull his trousers down? Hold a press conference? What’s proof.

    As much as I don't want to think about the contents of Donald's trousers, something more than someone telling me to research their claim.
