Every so often, something makes me take a step back and just wonder how the fuck we got here. Like, really, him? He's a former president? That happened? What the actual fuck.
I do the same, but mine is: He's the frontrunner? Really? WTF?"
Yeah I gotta say I don't 100% believe he's really the frontrunner. I say it's all "magical thinking" but that would imply, you know, thinking.
I guess I should have noted Republican front runner.
We never hold anyone accountable for terrible shit. That and lack of education.
All with a heavy dose of lead.
Every single day.
You know that old trope of black people who owe $350 million from decades of corporate fraud. So relatable.
Next time he'll just say "Black people like me, because I'm a criminal. And they are also all criminals."
Black People: "We're constantly under threat of being killed by police and denied services because of our skin color. We're being discriminated against!"
Racist White People: "I'm being indicted for crimes I committed. I'm being discriminated against just like those black people!"
Meanwhile enjoying the wealth they accumulated as a result of their crime. Freely given positions of power. With an army of lawyers paid for by other racist rubes.
Yeah, just like a person of color.
Might as well keep it real
JFC, the mental filters are long gone.
I’m just waiting for him to drop an N bomb. It’s got to be coming.
I'd say that's too far even for him... But he's literally claiming black people like him because he's a criminal.
He's showing that he's more racist than we gave him credit for. And we already thought he was crazy racist.
He'll play it off that he was speaking Chinese to his Asian voters and saying "that one".
That's pretty racist ~~Colin~~ Donald.
Well, if he actually believes that shit, let him.
