    I stopped actually listening to his words in 2015.

    I leave to people with stronger constitutions to do this work.

      I feel terrible for people that are obliged to transcribe his word vomit for a living, or for historical posterity. Even with all that effort, I fully expect people in the not-too-distant future to wonder why the data of every single transcript of this one guy was somehow corrupted. I would struggle to believe it was real if I hadn’t heard it myself.

        In any sane world, he’d have been kicked to the curb the day he said he ‘liked soldiers who didn’t get captured.’

        Try listening to the elderly. This “sort” of speech is really common, but my family also has a history of mental illness, so, -(-_-)/-

      I couldn’t bring myself to watch video footage of him until he was out of office… feel that

      Why the fuck would anyone waste their time?

        I guess it’s like when you watch a Marvel movie and they start talking about an ‘arc reactor’ or ‘vibranium.’

        People know it’s nonsense but it’s okay because there’s a big fight coming.
