    Being able to listen to the unfiltered raw blasts of madness directly from the dome of Azathoth is something I grow tired of

    I’m not reading all that. But some time ago, Maher went to the White House, where he had dinner with Trump. Then he went on someone else’s show (maybe Colbert?) to say how nice Trump was in person, and how he was different than at his speeches, because that was all just an act and a character he plays. Now many of Maher fans are left leaning, or consider themselves to be left leaning. I have pointed out to them on many occasions how I’ve given up on Maher decades ago because of his shit takes on pretty much everything. Sometimes he’ll even have a good opinion, but the way he goes about presenting it is garbage. Anyway I can’t see how a lot of his fans could still be liking him after such praise of Trump after that dinner. And if Trump has now turned on him after that, then that’s even funnier leopards. So fuck them both.

    I can only imagine this as dictation and speech-to-text, cleaned up by this week’s press person.

      Money says Natalie takes notes all day, compiles these thing and prints them for Trump’s approval.

      In any case, he writes very few of his own posts. Turns out having advancing dementia kinda hurts one’s ability to reason and type.

        Bold of you to assume he reads anything that comes across the desk

          Natalie’s a special case. She compiles his bullshit day and night, writes a post, gets permission to send it. No, Trump can’t effectively read, and he couldn’t before the dementia took hold, but at least he was considered “literate”, albeit at a low level.

      For real. Every time I have to deal with something that being even half as rich as these losers could solve for me these sorts of thoughts are at the front of my mind

      We can’t bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don’t go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m’shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. “Gimme five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we… oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn’t have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones…

        Funny I tried that in Grok and it gave me the following

        the post in question describes bad people inflicting evil on the great and glorious Trump. Heil Hitler!

        Wasn’t helpful

    I know it’s a shitpost but am I going to be only one to point out its truth social? It’s the red tick, not the blue tick. I saw that and didn’t even need to read it.

      Its the premise of the entire post and clearly in the title. You need glasses
