Hard to be humiliated when you lack the mental capacity to experience humiliation.
Trump only wins elections when Democrats are in the White House. If they rig the elections against him they are fucking terrible at it. But then again, Democrats are terrible at everything so who knows
EDIT:I I'm removing my comment due to drunken rambling and apologize to anyone who read it.
“I don’t wanna be part of these theatrics,” says the drama queen putting on a show.
Ossoff, with his calm, cool demeanor, made this guy look like a total ass
The problem is, MAGA news cycles are going to editorialize it like "TRUMP nominee Jay Clayton DESTROYS RADICAL LEFT Democrat in SCATHING REBUTTAL! Woke Lib MELTS DOWN in TEARS" and the people who vote R in every single election are just going to eat it up and share it with all their friends and family on social media.
I've seen this so, so many times with my MAGA relatives.
Remember kids: unless you're a MAGAt, Donnie-worshiping drone, you're automatically a radical leftist.
Yes, thanks to Ossoff. I've seen too many versions of this conversation where the representative lets the issue drop, as though assuming that they should back off and hope viewers got the point. This was much better done and Ossoff's clear-headedness is a breath of fresh air.
I loved this exchange:
“I’m just trying to give you truthful and straightforward answe—“
“No, sir, you’re being evasive and refusing to answer a simple ’yes’ or ‘no’ question. You’re not being straightforward at all.”
That’s what he said right before he asked him if he thought it was embarrassing, not being able to answer. Called him right the fuck out, all nice and calm. Asshole‘s face was priceless.
Its great that ossoff is holding their feet to the fire but I feel like some opportunities were missed here.
When the guy said "I've already amswered", ossoff should have e quoted his answer and said "your response was not an answer, it was a refusal to answer".
Then asked whether his answer would be theatrical because it contradicted Trump, or because it contradicted the electoral college.
That said, it's easy to come up with witty retorts here in the comfort of my arm chair, ossoff did great. I enjoy watching them avoid this question. They're pathetic.
”Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
I'll give you an answer in the morning”
Republicans: That theatrical baby is a real man! MAGA!
But that's what they think. It's all performative.
That's exactly the right way to ask this. They should try various permutations of this question when Donvict's toadies ALL evade this simple question of fact.
Donvict LOST in 2020. He lost probably in SPITE of the cheating and the stealing being attempted by the cons. Not because he was cheated out of anything. He's a fucking baby and a sore loser.
So, Mr Trump, you're saying the 2016 election under Obama was better run than the 2020 election under your administration?
He's a wannabe tyrant who would absolutely put you to death for this comment should he have actually successfully stolen power and ended democracy. He's going to try again and the Republican party is ready and willing to stand by him for fear they might finally lose all the power they had only ever been afforded due to gerrymandering and the inherently undemocratic senate.
We're going to watch Republicans attempt to implement the Turkey playbook and they might just pull it off. An end to democracy as we know it.
Yet in spite of that, people still allowed him back in in 24. People are stupid.
Democrats did. Had the Democrats ensured he was properly prosecuted while Biden was president, Trump would be rotting in prison right now.
whats the fucking point of these if they just get the spot regardless? is this just majority/mob/nazi rule, no fucking disqualification?
tar and feather these tired shitdicks
All hail petty baby president poopy pants Donald the shit diaper trump
my kinda fucking comment
Tagging you as "likes baby poop"
ok, but just watch as they confirm him anyhow. The usa is such a clownshow now.
Yes the senate is weighted in favor of the rural vote which the GOP has spent decades capturing. Apparently no amount of obvious fuck ups will stop them from voting for the nazis each and every time. Pathetic.
I think the rural vote is dominated by people that peaked in high school.
I believe that's giving them too much credit.
But that cheetoh dust tastes soooooo good.
Spies live for the subterfuge. Asking this guy to answer just makes him that much more excited.
What spy? This fucker is just another nobody lolwyer that lives in Trump's ass.
