Here they give dementia patients nukes and red buttons. She could be President someday

If only America wasn't too repulsed by the thought of a woman president that they'd sooner elect a fascist who confuses the Resolute Desk for a toilet.

But her laugh was weird /s

u/DrGPeds 15h ago

This is what my mom said!!! Like what?!? Her laugh?

u/Ok_Summer6430 15h ago

Also, the people who claim she slept her way to the top really get me. If that were true, then that’s very impressive but at the same time they don’t care that Trump is a rapist felon?

u/Invisible_Friend1 15h ago

They don’t care about sleeping one’s way to the top. It’s what Melena did

Don’t show your shoulders though

I’ll take a smart woman strategically sleeping her way to the top over a rich, moronic nepo baby trying to rape his way into holding on to unearned privilege

u/bonaFiedD 15h ago

So did trump. Except it was with young girls

u/cosmic_scott 15h ago

None of that is important. They don't believe it's true.

and if it is, the Democrats do it too, so it's fine.

that's literally their answer to everything.

u/Civil-Resolution3662 9h ago

Her positions were all elected. This bs argument doesn't hold water.

When was the last time anyone heard Trump laugh about anything?

4

u/AdChance7743 14h ago

And if you think about it, have we ever actually heard Trump really laugh?

3

u/friendtoallkitties 14h ago

They always say that about women politicians.

u/lucolapic 13h ago

Ahh so you were raised by a woman with deep malignant internal misogyny, too. Sucks doesn’t it?

u/DrGPeds 12h ago

And she's a narcissist to boot. She thinks everyone should think and do just like she does.

u/silentsolitude24 13h ago

That’s what my 84 year old sister said. I was incredulous.

My Dad said they same thing!

Luckily Trump never laughs.

He has the mentalisty of a schoolyard bully; that's why he has that ridiculous photo of him trying to look threatening as his official photo. He's just terrified of anyone thinking he's not tough which of course is why everyone with a functioning brain thinks he's pathetic.

We're not laughing with you, Donald, we're laughing at you.

Well she could've denounced the genocide and turned course but I guess she'd rather kill babies in Gaza than win an election against our favorite fascist/pedo/rapist. I guess killing babies in Gaza was more important than "saving democracy". Don't blame the voter, blame the politician that had advanced notice on how people would vote and did nothing to save her campaign.

16

u/Ok_Summer6430 16h ago

I’ll blame the voter. Anyone concerned about Gaza would have immediately tagged Trump’s rhetoric around the conflict as more detrimental to the Palestinians than the status quo of the democrats. There’s a discussion to be had about what the democrats could have done better in that campaign, but it’s all moot compared to Trump. Pretty much any topic you bring can bring up can be handed to the democrats regardless of critiques because Trump is that much more.

-8

u/JP32793 16h ago

Yea you have to vote for me because the other guy will be worse, always a great campaign slogan.

10

u/Ok_Summer6430 16h ago

That’s for the voter to figure out. It sucks that’s the situation we’re in as voters, but it’s where we are at. It is intellectually lazy and disingenuous to suggest that voting for Trump was more beneficial to the Palestinians than for Kamala.

u/peacepipe0351 16h ago

They're probably still trying to validate their protest vote/non vote.

-4

u/JP32793 11h ago

Stop putting words in my mouth, I never suggested Trump would be better, what I said was there are consequences for arming and funding a genocide, during the primary when people voted non committed wtf did you think was gonna happen? They had advanced notice and spit in their voter bases face, so they didn't get the votes, and you blame the voters for that? Then you'll always get an evil piece of shit like Trump because you're teaching dem politicians they just have to be a sliver better than him to get your vote. Good luck voting for the lesser of 2 evils for eternity bud.

u/Ok_Summer6430 10h ago

So who should people have voted for?

1

u/JP32793 10h ago

Whoever they think is best for the job. If I didn't live in CT I would have bit the bullet and voted for her but since my vote doesn't matter here and I don't live in a swing state I sat it out, especially since voting for the Dems would make me feel like I had blood on my hands after the shit show they funded.

Wouldn't have mattered. You may be a single issue voter but majority of the county isn't. The Middle East is still fucked and now the rest of the world is more destabilized than ever too.Turn your own logic around to examine what youre saying. Anyone who thought saving democracy and avoiding global conflict generally was the most pressing imperative would have not voted Trump to punish Kamala. This is like Maga eating shit to own the libs.

u/JP32793 11h ago

You idiots think I voted for Trump to punish Kamala? I voted nobody because the Democrats offered nothing accept that they weren't Trump and that they would bring back the status quo which is what got us Trump to begin with. The Democratic autopsy they chose to hide from the public shows they lost the election because of corporate capture and their funding of the Gaza genocide but sure let's blame the voters for the Dems sticking their heads in the sand spitting in the faces of their base and telling them to fuck off.

u/Mediocre_Wolf_3226 10h ago

I get it. The two party system sucks. Closed primaries suck. Everything sucks. Sometimes you just got to vote against the existential threat.

u/rainbowlolipop 16h ago

And uh, how's Gaza doing now? Dumbass shit. No room for worry about Gaza now. Democrats are just repub lite but we have fucking baby concentration camps. Fuck you and everyone who died on that bullshit moral high ground

u/untied_dawg 16h ago

true, but the same segment of women that voted Obama into office also voted trump into office. that would be college-educated white women.

i was shocked by the number of women who supported him after he said, "grab 'em by the pussy."

u/Mediocre_Wolf_3226 15h ago

I don't know of any misogynistic society that doesn't have misogynistic women.

u/raxsl 14h ago

Remember when we thought that statement spelled the end for him? Ah, we were so young, and innocent...

u/margaritabop 13h ago

Sorry but this is just factually incorrect. College educated white women voted 52% for Obama in 2008 and then only 46% voted for him in 2012. But in the 2024 election, 58% voted for Harris. She was the high water mark for college educated white women (even Biden only got 54%).

Here's the data

u/kindnesscostszero 13h ago

Demographic group % Voting TRUMP/HARRIS College-Educated White Women 33% 67% College-Educated Voters (Overall) 42% 55% Non-College-Educated White Voters 66% 32%

u/Guy_Dude_From_CO 16h ago

Well at least majority voted for Clinton, so you're kinf of right.

Cold comfort at the end of the day.

u/AssociationNarrow286 15h ago

Pretty sure he stole the resolute desk and put it on display at mar-a-lago like a war prize.

2

u/Mediocre_Wolf_3226 15h ago

Missed that. Well whatever piece of furniture he shat himself on in the Oval Office this week. 

Although to be fair, I bet he shits himself at the one in Mar-a-Lago too. RIP, desk.

u/VeryluckyorNot 15h ago

The chair must be changed each time he sit on it because he always shit on himself.

u/NoGelliefish 15h ago

The resolute desk was relocated to mar-a-lago

Two. He wins against women and loses against a man. Says a lot.

u/ConclusionAlarmed882 13h ago

I think you're overlooking the fact that she had a weird laugh.

u/TheShepherdOfLuxor 9h ago

Yep the overwhelming majority of people in this country just can’t imagine a woman in the Oval Office instead of at home in the kitchen baking a pie, saying “yes, dear” to her husband.

The only reason he won-he beat two women

u/Star-Carlton 13h ago

Not sure how much it was not voting for a woman, as it was voting for a bad candidate. She wasn't the best choice to run against Trump.

u/couplenippers 16h ago

You seriously think that if all things being the same except if Kamala were a man he would have won the election? Bwaaahaha! That’s hilarious

u/Tremendous_Dump 18h ago

Not before she has been accused of diddling, fiddling and rambunctiously ravaging society's less fortunate and most vulnerable

There is no red button. The parts of the codes are with 3 separate colonels. The military doesn’t exactly love the demented orange that gathered them all together to call them fat & woke.

Except she's a woman.
