I was wondering if the actual quote was something more weaselly than that but nope.
Beck: "If you become president will you lock people up?"
Trump: “The answer is you have no choice, because they’re doing it to us.”
Fascists always do the ole ‘he hit me first waah’ gambit. All you can do is ignore it and treat them like the crybabies they are.
Perhaps if someone gives trump a dummy (binky) and rocks him gently we’ll all be able to sleep for a while.
‘It’s okay, you were the bestest president, sleep now, everyone lubs you. Shhh.’
Followed by a brick.
If someone gave him a brickin' early on in life, we wouldn't be here. Just enough to slow home down a little, nothing grave, take a few points off his IQ
He doesn't have a few IQ points to spare!
On the other hand, baby Trump brains splattered over a crib sounds pretty sure fire. If only
That's too old testament for me. Specifically these instances. The author's "explanation" at the end is way off, but it is a good collection otherwise.
It's nice finding another listener. All the Cool Zone Media peeps are great, too
This sounds very "Robert Evans"-y to me.
I did miss the attribution, my apologies. It is Robert Evans.
Haha, no worries. It just sounded like something he said awhile back or would say and I wasn't sure. It is nice though to see him popping up here though
That’s how you split timelines, then before you know it, everyone’s fucking their aunt.
I think you need to spend less time on Pornhub.
It was a DarK reference.
Not sure on the reference, but I'd risk it
DarK.
Thanks! I need to go back to finish the series
100% worth it. And the moment you’re done, you’ll want to watch it again to try and untwist your mind. Best series in ages, imo.
