This thread is a great summary of the last four years.
The one where he dumped a whole box of fish food in the koi pond is hilarious. Such a toddler. :lol:

The beauty is that unless you know the biography of the writer, you can't tell whether it's snark or earnest.

I think the pardoning of Steve Bannon is especially fun. Bannon defrauded Trump supporters over one of Trump's big "things" and Trump gives him the get out of jail free card. Just a giant "Fuck You" to his supporters.

I agree, it's a total FU to his supporters, but hey, they've never been the sharpest tools in the shed. I'm sure they'll put some sort of Kook-Aid inspired spin on it and all will be forgiven for their Orange Turd Master.

Exactly these people are so far out in fantasy land. Trump could personally murder their friends and family and they would still give him the benefit of the doubt.

Early into the Trump years, I read a piece from a behavioural psychologist who said that one of the reasons why conmen succeed is that the kind of people who get sucked in by their promises don't respond with outrage at being fooled—as we'd expect—but assess what happened to exonerate the conman, to preserve the illusion that they haven't been duped. It takes a major shock to break the spell. We're battling not a desire to appreciate reality so much as a desire not to proven a dupe.

Something their leader has too.
