    This is like one of those dreams where you hear something that strikes you to your very core with how deep and profound it is, but then you wake up and realize it was all gibberish

    I kinda get Biden struggling to put this guy away, he was already gone afterall, but JFC is Kamala fucking up big time. If she loses it would easily top Hillary losing in 2016.

      I’m imagining them running the 100 meters to determine who will be president. Kamala is certain she can’t lose. How could she? The starting gun goes off and after Kamala takes three bold steps she manages to trip herself very badly. She falls to the ground, smashes her head, and knocks herself out. Trump hardly notices. He’s walking in various directions, going in circles, at times he comes to a stop then dances a bit to music that isn’t there, and he sometimes goes backwards. But after a few minutes - he does manage to make enough forward progress to cross the finish line.

      after watching the video he plays it off as vaguesplaining some environmental building b.s. to, i guess the interviewer? where the quoted bit says “YOU know about building, that’s what YOU do” (when I read the quote without watching I thought he was using a general “you” because he was rambling like a crazy person

    OP, c’mon video for the dunk tank, please. Grumble.

    Jump to ~2:04 - https://xcancel.com/KamalaHQ/status/1846747316633411673#m

    They shouldn’t have edited that stuff out. He sounds even more unhinged with it. Our Big Brain Melty Boy. His brain is leaking out his ears in realtime. If there were ~3 months until election day - I don’t think he’d make it without being on stage and saying something like “I need to poopie. I gotta go. I need to poopie. Why am I here?

    If he get reelected - his inauguration speech is gonna be total word salad that goes on for 4+ hours.

      idk if we watched the same video because, imo, the quote in the OP (partially by omitting like a minute of him talking) makes him sound like his brain has exited his body, but in the actual video he’s like 75% coherent and at least aware enough to keep going back to what actually matters- his shitty fascist talking points. like, I really do not think that any conservative leaning person watching this video would have even remotely the same impression of him, they’d just hear him say a lot of bullshit they agree with i.e. “can’t compete with countries that spend nothing on climate change!” and go YEAHH MAGA WOO WOO WOO YEE HAW

        Way back in 2016 - he vomited up a lengthy incoherent mess about his genius uncle at MIT. Libs liked the “run-on sentence” so much that Lin-Manuel Miranda made a song from it. The libs were sure Trump was going to get destroyed on election day so they loved that shit. Meanwhile Trump’s hogs didn’t care. If they did notice - it was their hero owning the libs because they care about shit that doesn’t matter.

        But today’s Trump is clearly a different person. He sounds like mere months away from being unable to draw a clock. I’m sure even the hogs know that in their heart of hearts.

        Donald Trump’s ‘Nuclear’ Speech

        "Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number.

        That’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago.

        He would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years.

        But the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

        Yeah, Trump’s way of communicating looks ridiculous written out, but it’s more cogent as spoken word. My grandma talks like that.

    Like yeah he did say all that but he was rambling for over a minute and a half after the question before the quote started and they cut like 4 sentences with an ellipsis before the second half of the “quote.”

    “I like… butt… smells” is just as accurate a “quote”
