    It’s not even close to sinking to their level. This shit is harmless. That makes it especially hilarious to see them blow a gasket over something so lame. Trump wants to take his ball and go home.

      No, convicted felon, and genuinely weird creepy Donald Trump, will take your ball and go home.

        That reminds me of a story of some business man who was playing at one of Trumps golf courses with his 12 year old son. Trump was right behind them and because he went with a golf cart he caught up with them. Now they had seen Trumps shot go in the bushes somewhere. You mark your golf balls so you know whose ball it is. Trump, undeterred, drove up with his golf cart, decided the best placed ball, the 12 yo kids, was his and continued playing with it to the absolute bafflement of the father and son.

        Now this story is from way before he decided to go into politics, but already showed exactly what kind of person he is.

        Like someone sleeping their way to the top of the presidential ticket? We’ve been dealing with their bullshit rhetoric for years so much we are all but immune to it. The magat snowflakes can go fuck themselves if they can’t take some in turn now.

            Hey, I wish “They go low, we go high” worked but 2016 proved that isn’t the world we live in. Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at, is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.

              There’s a difference in boldly criticizing and just lying.

              Even then, joking that Vance fucked a couch, which is a super fantastical claim which most people will at worse laugh at,

              You say that but it’s easily believed as something a teenager could’ve done. Also right after the last time I had this silly argument I corrected someone on here who thanked me because they literally believed it happened.

              is in a different league than claiming the VPotUS got there on her knees, especially when misogynistic magats will instantly believe it is true.

              Of course it is. “They’re worse” isn’t really an argument. Just an excuse.

            This is totally harmless and a total tounge in cheek reference to the only talking points MAGA can come up with. MTG says Democrats are pedophiles on the floor of congress, lefties are saying JD fucks couches on Twitter. There’s apples and oranges but this is oranges and pine cones and also helps lighten the mood overall which helps voter engagement and turnout.

            But most importantly, fuck em.

              It was never true, not even partially. I don’t want to measure how decent I am by the shittiest benchmark conceivable, i.e. MTG. Also btw this is based on a tweet that is believable and cites page numbers. Plenty of teenagers have done things weirder than fuck couches.

                You missed the entire point of what I said. The “lowest” the left went is an obvious joke, which is the oranges. MTG calling dems pedophiles is the fucking pine cones. They are NOT similar, at all. It is not something that can br used to measure a god damned thing. Don’t be obtuse because you have a bad take on an issue, it’s a bad look.

                And anyone who thinks someone would write about fucking couches in a grift book to Bible thumper is a fucking idiot. That is not believable.

                  Thanks for identifying yourself as someone I never would choose to converse with. You know I never implied the two were comparable.
