    Kamala should do a long interview with Fox, and Trump should do a long interview with MSNBC. It’s what would be good for the American people.

        That let me too fantasize about taking said orange chicken on in a fight.

          When I had chickens I liked hanging out with them. The way the chased me when I had some food made me feel like I was in Jurassic Park.

          I highly doubt hanging out with Trump would be that much fun. Unless I ran around holding a hamburger while he chased me. Maybe.

            You could try dressing like a drag Ivanka. He’d come chasing you with tiny groping hands.

              The takeaway from this thread is dressing as a tiny Ivanka disguised as a chicken will allow me to eviscerate small animals and form emotional bonds with humans, creating a band of wicked hobos while pursued across the desert island by fantasy-Trump, who has T-Rex arms with sharp claws

    Brave Sir Trump ran away,

    Bravely ran away, away.

    When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.

    Yes, brave Sir Trump turned about

    And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,

    He beat a very brave retreat,

    Bravest of the brave, Sir Trump.

        I think it’s a good barometer when trying a new Chinese restaurant. Like if they fuck up on orange chicken they’re probably terrible in general. I do the same thing with Tikka Masala at an Indian place I’m trying for the first time.

    I get it though. The absolute safest thing Trump can do for himself is to shut the fuck up. I’d wager if he know how to shut up half the cases against him wouldn’t exist. He’d still have done wrong, but he would have slid like everyone other billionaire who knows when to shut up.
