  • Ugh. I hate it when geriatric populist fascists accidentally stumble into a halfway decent joke.

    “I notice it keeps tilting to the left,” Trump joked, “Like too many other things!”

    I guess he is an “entertainer,” so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that his jokes are better than his platform. Double entendre definitely intended.

    Of course, to everyone watching—at least, to everyone watching who isn’t behind Trump—it’s pretty clear that everything is actually tilting to the right, and becoming a whole lot more unstable.





  • “If there’s no massive cheating” is such a meaningless phrase that they could use it to mean anything afterward. “Oh no, I heard someone say that their cousin was a cashier at a store where their coworker overheard a customer talking on the phone about a letter that their post office received from Russia on election day, so obviously there’s massive cheating and Trump should just be in office.”

    That said, I don’t know that this rises to the level of “outrageous” in modern political discourse, sadly. A “foolish” position, definitely. “Corrupt,” perhaps. “Morally bankrupt.” “Anti-democratic.” But the position is much more reasonable than most Republicans are willing to grant these days, and that’s what’s truly outrageous.
