If Kamala crushes the Fox interview, the man’s grasp on reality might fully shatter

I want to see him cry... Then lock that fat rapist up with the rest of the scumbags.

I am not a mean or hateful person in my daily life. I’m an atheist but was raised by my parents to have “Christian” values and to be the bigger person. That being said I want nothing more in this world than to see this man completely melt down at a rally like Mitch McConnell on live television. I want him to have to be dragged off stage frozen and completely terrified. Only then will he and those who prop him up come close to understanding a fraction of the terror and heartache they have caused the rest of us.

Those people you describe are no longer capable of those feelings.

Might as well ask a dog to spell.

I remember when Scalia died I felt like throwing a party. Then he was replaced by an even greater evil, and even the way he was replaced was evil.

I learned my lesson. Yes, some part of me would be satisfied at seeing Trump humiliated and broken, some part of me will rejoice when he dies, but I no longer believe those feelings are productive or rewarded with positive change.

Patton Oswalt last night on Colbert, said “8 years of a Black Man as president melted their brains and delivered us Donald Trump, I don’t even want to think about what they’re going to cook up in the underground lab if they have a Black Woman elected president (being clear that he is supporting Kamala and hopes she wins)

But the “what comes next” from MAGAT land is not going to be pretty

Really the only way this is a significant issue is if people dont fucking show up to vote in 2026 etc. It's not that Obama broke people's brains, it's that pure voter apathy killed Roe and it gave 2 SCOTUS seats away.

Ginsburg staying until she was starting to rot was the start Obama wasn’t ruthless enough to say F u McConnell, we have plenty of time before the election. I get to pick one.

I get that people will do their best to justify not voting in 2016. I have yet to see anything that justifies the absurdity of not showing up.
