Holy hell, these people are beyond stupid.
Tell me again why we're supposed to try and "reach out" to them? Clearly they've lost any and all ability to see reason or logic (if they could ever see it at all).

There's three types of Trump voters.
A) the true believers
B) the "he's just taking about how things used to be. He's not a racist and neither am I, cause I used to know a black guy back in college" group (probably the majority)
C) conservatives who are too soft and insecure to vote for a democratic candidate, even when they know deep down that this shit is wrong. these are the worst types, as there's zero excuse.

Hoooo boy, yeah.
Even though you're white be careful out there. Don't look "liberulish" that day!
Omg! I saw that earlier on msn! Just fucking' woah'
? D) Those who are too greedy, and got tgeir, or their corporation's tax cuts?
E) religious conservatives who vote for the anti-abortion candidate/party no matter what.
D falls into spineless conservatives
Ok this is a fair subset.

Just don't bring up all the abortions we know he's paid for over the years.
Ya think Trump is just dumb (okay well we know he's dumb) and poked LeBron because he remembers how much people hated him when he left the last time?
No.
I think that Trump's tweets are like those farts that come out unexpectedly, like you bend over and there it is. No forethought. But the difference being is that most of us would at least have some sense of embarrassment afterwards.

This.
Abortion justifies *everything* to these people. Because the other side kills babies. So you could club baby seals, at least it isn’t killing babies.

Trump doesn't have any well thought out views on anything. His campaign, for example, was just a lot of stuff cherry picked from both sides to appeal to disaffected white working and middle class voters who will show up for GOP primaries and caucuses. There's no intellectual coherence at all.
If he thought the way for him to win was to say "Free late-term partial-birth abortions for everybody!" he'd say that. If he thought the way for him to win was to say "Death by torture for baby-killing whores!" he'd say that. Has has no center.

Also falls under spineless conservatives

One of the scariest things about Trump is his inability to show even the tiniest bit of empathy.
California is dealing with a natural disaster that has claimed lives, so a simple tweet like this would have been what a normal sitting President would have done:
“my heart goes out to those in California who are dealing with this disaster and we stand ready to help in any way we can.”
Instead we have Trump blaming California and its environmental policies for creating this disaster!

This. There's been a lot of natural disasters this year that he hasn't even bothered to comment on, nor has he taken any trips out to oversee the damage and suffering (and if he did, he'd probably just throw paper towels at everyone and consider it good).
But he sure manages to find plenty of time to sit around and rant about athletes for...reasons. And take golf trips, too, whose numbers are far outweighing the amount of golf outings Obama took throughout his presidency.
And neither do his supporters, which is even more troubling. We could point out all the above to them and they'd probably say California deserved those fires because, "LOL, liberal elites", and find some way to justify and defend his lack of action.
It's so fucked up.

Yup. And yet nothing about how this has been the hottest summer in CA in years. Also, he's wrong, we still do some controlled burns.

Trump reportedly likes to TiVo his rallies and watch them later like game film. He especially likes the lines that are "evidence of his brilliance".

As if we need more evidence that he is non compos mentis.
At this point the people around him are more to blame than he is. He's too far gone.

...ooooooookay, then.
I'm especially amused at how he thinks the PT Barnum comparison is apparently some kind of compliment. When people compare politics to a circus, it's not meant in a positive sense, after all. And this...
I honestly wonder how the hell he'd react if he ever were to actually go to prison for his crimes. Or how his supporters would respond, for that matter.

You can't negotiate with the GOP, you can't meet them halfway. This is who they always were. Trump's election just led them to realizing how much they had been selling themselves short. They don't need to bother with dog whistles anymore.
The Democratic Party has become the "normal" right wing, everything to the right of them is the fringe. Denying this is political, and more importantly moral, malpractice at this point.

Trump (especially when he smirks) and his sons are certainly up there on the "punchable face" meter.

They're getting rid of Trump's walk of fame star. Lol

I always liked the East Hollywood stars better, okay?

I wish it were that simple. First, West Hollywood isn't where the star is, it's in Hollywood (part of LA proper), WeHo is its own city. Second, the walk of fame is handle by the Chamber of Commerce and they haven't removed a star, like ever. I will however, cheer every time someone takes a pick axe to that thing.
