"The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves," Donald Trump told rallygoers. "And when they do, I finish up quick."

      For me, sad requires sympathy. He’s pathetic.

      I love this thought, but something has always bothered me about the phrase “living rent free in x head”

      I can’t even explain why I just hate it

        That phrase doesn’t bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same “clever” phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don’t particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

        In my case, it’s “looking at you, X” where X is not a person. E.g. “I’m looking at you, Unity framework!”

        Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment “See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs.” At this point, I’m inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of “First post!!”

        This seems like an attempt to point out his racism towards black tenants but poorly phrased enough that people have to wonder if you’re being racist yourself.

    Quote from the article applied at the relevant point of the prayer.

    The Narcissist’s Prayer

    That didn’t happen. <— “The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,”-Trump

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <— “people were actually lining up in the back for photos since he couldn’t pose for pictures earlier.”-Trump

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal. <— “And when they do, I finish up quick.” -Trump

    And if it is, that’s not my fault. <— Trump then suggested that his staffers were to blame for the apparent departures

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did, you deserved it.

      Totally agree. American people have proven that they will vote for the most rotten cunt possible as long they’re racist and misogynistic enough. You here are dozens of mini-trumps all over the US. This election is a short term requirement that he loses but the work will take years or decades. I hope for the future of mankind

    “Theyre just so excited they can’t sit still. These people they have to get up and run around. We have the fastest runners. They get up and run and sometimes they leave but they come back they always come back. I met one guy he left and he came back he said “they’re not doing it like you over there. They are not good.” And I said I know.”
