    I mean, people saying things pro trump are crazy, we’ve all just kind of acclimated to it, sadly.

        IDK man, did you watch any of Jordan Klepper’s coverage of Trump events over the last several years? Most of the highlights for me land somewhere between unbelievably batshit crazy and herniatingly hilarious.

      True but it got old. And more importantly half the posts that ended up as the top post of the day there were just… Yay Trump. Not any kind of fun crazy like rambling on about that worm medicine or whatever the fuck it was.

      I want fun to read crazy like this. Not crazy that reminds me of reality lol

        Exactly this.

        The other night I burst out laughing when I remembered Giuliani’s 2020 press conference at the Four Seasons Philadelphia. Doofuses saw “Four Seasons” in probably an ancient paper phonebook and thought it was going to be the upmarket hotel or the upmarket restaurant.

        Cut to America’s Mayor in front of a green warehouse run by Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

        They could not have tried something this audacious on Veep let alone House of Cards. It would not have been believable.

        On the other hand, then, everything wild, unlikely, overwrought, and ethically appalling in Veep and House of Cards is now within plausibility and reminds me too much of reality.

          We’ve gone past ‘plausibility.’ The lead character in House of Cards clandestinely commits murder in the first season. We have a former president and possible future president who brags that he could murder someone and get away with it.
