When my grandpa used to visit every Tuesday, he would join us for dinner, then some coffee after dinner. We would sit on the couch and chat a bit and at some point grandpa would fall asleep. The rest of us just went about our evening, watching some TV, playing a game, just chatting or whatever. After an hour or so, he would wake up, slap his knee, tell us it was a great evening and head home.

It was actually kind of sweet how that old man would fall asleep. That's why you don't fucking elect grandpa to run the country.

Back when I was in vocational school, I used to visit grandma often on the way home. We'd eat, play cards and drink coffee, then she'll start watching bold and the beautiful on tv and fall asleep on rocking chair while I'd take a nap on sofa. I miss those times

Did the pope even thank him for showing up to his funeral???

I'm genuinely shocked he didn't burst into flames on entering the place.

Ever hear people say they don't trust atheists because without God, they have no moral compass?

Well, I don't trust people whose only reason to not rape, pillage, and plunder is because they believe in a fairy tale that says they'll burn in Hell if they submit to their dark fantasies. That's a person who is inherently bad, but resisting it, and ine day, they may stop resisting. I prefer people who are inherently good, and dont need fear motivation to behave properly in society.

Technically that would be a defense if the god in question was actually as powerful as they say they are or that they are nessisarily good. There is always a possibility that Gods exist but are not on the hook to tell the truth and their goals do not align with humans.

A lying god telling the kids they have magic powers well beyond them and proving it like an uncle playing a dumb trick on the three year olds at a family reunion is a possibility. Maybe God exists and is just kind of an ass?

I've read the Bible. If he's real, he's the biggest ass. He's a petulant, jealous, and tantrum throwing prick. If he's real, I want both to do with him.

A place that has protected child abusers? Seems more like his place.

Oh the blue was his power move to make sure everybody knows he's not like the rest of them.

...and that was all the power he had. Being a full time dick is hard.

Yeah, amazing how that just gets glossed over. It's a funeral, everyone's wearing black and he shows up in blue? Goes without saying, but can you imagine Fox News if a Democrat did that?

Prince William also wore a blue suit, so did many others if you watch the actual video of the event.

Tan suit would be way worse for a funeral. It's just an etiquette thing

He’s being criticized too. Everyone that showed up in something other than black is a narcissistic dumbfuck.

More likely he shit his diaper and it ruined the black suit so he had no choice but the blue.

Did you see the pope's ridiculous costume? Couldn't even wear a suit to his own funeral.

How ironic would it have been on a scale of 1 to 100 if he'd had a stroke and died during the service lol

Another reason I'm glad to be off reddit. I still check the front page with no account, and they posted a wider image, With many in the crowd in blue. To me it looked altered, like one of those black and white colorized photos. I really can't tell. The comments were full of people defending this.

I truly can't tell whats real sometimes, but why tf would you wear blue? Even if more did.. why? Match your wife dude- culturally in the states we wear black.

As a mother it's giving: "I don't care what (your friends) others are doing, My "president" (kid) should have more decency than this"

Culturally in the states? I believe the funeral was in the Vatican, so follow their cultural rules (which happen to coincide), not yours.

Heads of state generally keep their cultural garb at meetings regardless of country. It's why it was double stupid to insult Zelenskyy the way they did. But this faux pas is a distraction. There's no use wasting energy on Trump's outfit when he's deporting infants who are us citizens.

Honestly. It's horrible that he's sending people who are legally allowed to be here to his concentration camp, but it is also equally horrible that he's sending people who aren't legally allowed to be here to his concentration camp.

Immigrants are good. Immigration is good. Everything about this is fucked up and goes against the soul of America.

3

Yeah prob, I was trying to highlight more absurdity but once you reach 100% It doesn't really go any higher

3

I was just reading an article saying it’s terrible we’re deporting a ton of kids who never speak to a lawyer. Then it said the proportion had gone up, and cited the old pre-fascism figure. The smaller number was also appalling!

So, clearly sickening all around.

Anybody know what the proper path forward would be? Say the proper interim path. If giving the best representation to all kids means thankfully more get to stay, might it change the calculus of parents put in impossible situations and lead them to strategically abandon their children here hoping they’ll get a better life? And maybe it’s an entirely rational decision at least at first—but eventually even more kids might slip through the cracks. And as costs for anything balloon, negative attention does too. Negative attention sucks oxygen even when you’re willing to fight.

And public defendants already have like negative time to spend with their clients, we desperately need more.

Fucking sucks

He wore a blue suit and had an old man nap is a much bigger problem than his arresting judges and ensuring the torture and death of fellow humans. The society as a whole is fucked.

Ah yes, Thatcher. Famously not a woman and famously not the subject of any kind of sexism /s

There are a lot of reasons to not like Thatcher that have nothing to do with her being a woman.

... yes, she was a real monster. However, using sexism as a weapon against her would still be using sexism as a weapon against her. Do you see how it being a reference to Thatcher doesn't really change my point?

The Doctor has intimate knowledge on the inner workings of time and, through a small action, can cause monumental change by knocking over a single domino. Yeah, I got that. Just so happened the domino was sexism and it's power on culture. Isn't that neat!

Hey just a heads up, You may have toggled the Bot account in your account setting. Not that it degrades the experience in anyway but you have this bot icon when you make a comment, funny if you did it intentionally.

At least in the the coffin they close your mouth.

They need to do the equivalent of a bouquet throw at the wedding to find out if Trump is next

And we're talking about him. That is exactly what a narcissist wants. Doesn't matter if it's good or bad, he wants you to talk about him.

Fuck that orange cancer. Let's ignore his disgusting ass.

Hmm I thought he was having an inconspicuous wank. There is allegedly not much to wank so he could probably pull it off without raising much trouble.I am só so sorry.

Me hearing about Trump.

Hope he meets a violent end soon. Hope this country gets some competent leaders soon too. That criminal and his associates deserve the worst form of justice.

This situation we are in is the culmination of Capitalism and two nearly identical parties driving the United States for the past 2XX years.

Do we have a video of this pose for like 30 seconds or anything?

Or is this like a mid-yawn capture?

Even then, have some decency and at least yawn behind a hand or arm, and don't sit like a petulant toddler.

Which is what this guy basically is.

Biden was a couple of rows behind him, and I was really hoping he'd reach forward and flick HitlerPig's ear and then sit up straight and look innocent.

I would agree, except his "Sleepy Joe" attacks makes this go from relatable to being evidence of how much he sucks.

If his cult hadn't made comments about Zelensky's choice of clothing when visiting the White House, I'd not give two shits either.

More than happy to point out the hypocrisy, however.

Hypothetical doesn't mean unrelatable lol

But yah, the guy is a fuckwad for sure

Update:
Idk why this deserves down votes. I'm not sympathizing with him, and what I said doesn't support him.
We've all been in a boring meeting or class where we've struggled to stay awake, having that one thing in common and mentioning it for lulz doesn't mean there are fewer reason to hate him or more (any) reasons to like him.

Everyone when Biden barely strings a single coherent sentence together; OMG Joe good job.

Trump breathes; Why won't you die already you old creep?

I'm not a huge Biden fan by any means but I would argue he conquered his limitations where as Trump is defined by his.

The difference between persuasion and force. Or on the other end of the spectrum, the difference between mere arrogance and unabashed malice.

Trump breathes... while sending people to death camps; Why won’t you die already you old creep?

The man is at the Pope's burial ceremony and falls asleep.

For the god fearing Christian he claims to be he should be honored to even be in the vicinity of the pope.

This man is no Christian. He has no respect. None.

If you defend him (even a little) you're a terrible human. So imho the people wishing he would die, though not right, show the same respect he does towards others.

It's not about Biden anymore. Open your eyes.
