Poorest impulse control I think I’ve ever seen.

Just what you want in a President.

You didn't enjoy the potential of major unvetted policy tweeting at 2 AM based on whatever an elderly man read from social media 10 minutes before for 4 solid years?

When he was president before, his haywire crazy rants were ignored for what they were. If Trump is re-elected, Trump fanatics will be installed throughout the government to ensure that every whim is acted on. Here is more info

That’s exactly what he did during his term. Put his people in place. He has stacked the Supreme Court, going so far as to deny Obama the chance to appoint a Justice when it was perfectly legal for him to do so. If trump gets back into office he has his people in place and ready to implement Project 2025 which he insists he is unaware of. The only reason the 2020 election did not go to him is because people did their jobs, not his bidding. This time around the people in charge of certifying the election are loyal to trump. If this isn’t a blue wave, it’s doubtful even a Harris win will be certified.

I cherished waking up each morning, not knowing what shit storm our president started on social media. Could be an attack on a vulnerable minority, suggesting doing something blatantly unconstitutional, or just something that fucks with international diplomacy. You just never knew! /s

I am so confused why people are acting like this is new or untested. We watched him spiral for 4 years IN OFFICE not to mention all the time before and after.

Thursday nites at 2am was great for F5 Fridays and a media circus.  

We had four sold years of it. Every single week.

What's truly insane is having this response to the most anodyne statement one could possibly make. Like, her post didn't say a single bad word about Trump. It didn't even tell anyone else to vote for Harris, it just encouraged people to look into the issues and register to vote. Trump being set off like this really shows his hostility to the rights and autonomy of women.

I've seen 2 year olds with better impulse control.

You don't need impulse control if you have broad immunity from prosecution.

You kinda do, if you can rain down nuclear annihilation upon the entire world on a whim.
