puddingbrain.
LOL, he always goes back to his personal grievances. He hates that Obama was voted in. Him and so many other conservatives lost their fucking minds over Obama being in office. Not just one term, but two terms. He also cannot stand it that Obama and Seth mocked him at that White House Correspondents Dinner. Utterly humiliated him. He is still has raging butthurt over all of it.
Also, Obama was approved by so many more, had a much bigger and girthier crowd size, AND got a Nobel Peace Prize.
He also hates that he lost to Biden. He just cannot take it.
Surprised he didn't throw Rosie O'Donnell into the mix, too.
If I was on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, I'd push to give the next Nobel Peace Prize to Obama again.
Same. Just to make sure that Obama has one more than even the 1 that donnie stole from that woman.
Also, JFC, can you even believe he kept it? That fact alone is just....staggering.
And I'm sure he's someone that thinks participation trophies are stupid, meanwhile, he has something worth way less than a participation trophy. He is just beyond stupid.
He really is a complete embarrassment to the country, in every single way.
That's okay, his biggest records are yet to come: First president to go to go to prison, first president to get executed.
Well, I'd much rather the first part. As for the second, I'm against the death penalty, but if the justice system felt that was truly the only way that conservatives would ever learn a fucking lesson here, then I would reluctantly agree with it.
That's why I strike a middle ground on the death penalty. I think it is used far too much, and often for all the wrong reasons, but OTOH, I also believe that some people have EARNED their death penalty, and who are we to begrudge them their earnings?
It should only be used at the Federal level, and should apply to only a handful of cases in an entire decade, across the entire country. It should be reserved for the most heinous crimes, like serial killers, child killers, torture killers, child molester killers, etc., as well as those who have committed high treason. Even then, it should be reserved for those whose cases have no doubts by anyone at all. And before the execution takes place after a reasonable cooling off period, the entire case is automatically reviewed by a panel of judges before being carried out.
I don't like the Death Penalty, either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a responsible place in our society.
Some needs are better served by free individuals acting alone in a field in Pennsylvania, instead of a bubmbling government operation
No doubt still pissed he lost the popular vote to Hilary, too.
He literally does not understand that they're supposed to be independent and not just do whatever he says.
