Discussion: The Embarrassment-Averse President Goes All Out To Ensure Smooth Convention

Embarrassment averse yet extremely thin skinned.

How’s that?

I remember being at Disney World, 30 years ago, in a gift shop watching grown men try on mouse ears, and checking the fit in a mirror. In a world where mouse ears are normal attire, yours have to look just right, I guess.

The GOP is like that now. Everyone in the bubble is checking their mouse ears. And the rest of us, outside, are saying, “Those mouse ears look fucking ridiculous, no matter what size you decide on, because they are fucking mouse ears.”

NO…you do NOT put a definite article in front of “Wall” It’s just “Wall”

But, but, I used plural and uncapitalized… unlike Spankee, I have a pretty good understanding of English grammar.

Trump will “Fight Back!!” Trumpers and other Angry White Males love that he “Fights Back!!” I was at Midway Airport sitting at my gate the day after the Kavanaugh Meltdown and two middle aged white-guy attorneys seated across from me were so proud of Kav for “Fighting Back!!” One followed with, “I’m no fan of Trump, but I do love that he FIGHTS BACK!!”

They were loud enough to hear over the podcast in my head phones. It was like watching those influencers who get paid to go to hip bars or hotels and post on instragram how great the place is. Conspicuously trying to affirm the latent anger in those around them.

Mark my words “Trump Fights Back!!™” will be the theme of DJT 2020.

I’m serious. I think they are sending chubby white lawyers to airports to give people permission to vote their hate by jumping on the Trump Train.

LOL. That’s perfect. Things are different inside that big gate. Inside they say “There’s no evidence of collusion!” Outside we laugh and say “You have to be kidding. You just have to be kidding me when you say that. There’s no evidence that even slightly complicates the obvious collusion.” There isn’t. Have you ever stopped and said, "Gee, maybe he didn’t do anything of the sort? Did anything ever make you think that? Me either.

Quick! Register the phrase - so if trump uses it, he’ll have to pay you!

Ha! Good luck with that.

I’m guessing the model will be the Nuremberg rallies?

Imagine the GOP’s reaction if a Democrat did a “Joe Wilson” and yelled “You lie!” during trump’s State of the Union address.

It’s Dave’s to claim… @austin_dave

With donnie, it would need to just be a constant repetition of the phrase. One “you lie” would be extremely inadequate.
