Even after winning he cannot stand to be mocked. He even believes moreso that mocking him as president might be unlawful. He is such a small little man. Mock mock mock.

(865 posts)Indeed, a cheeto is a cheap, packaged, empty-calories kind of thing. Inelegant.

Of course, that would leave us with President Pence.
As for the Electoral College -- I expect no help from them. Whatever they were intended to be when Alexander Hamilton wrote them into the Constitution, they long ago devolved into a rubber stamp.
Never forget, though, Hillary WON by a large and growing margin. She's above 1.5 million votes and expected to hit close to 2 million. Don't let ANYONE, Dem or Repub, tell you we "lost."

(11,243 posts)They function like small children who just want to get a rise out of you. But they are VERY sensitive little snowflakes themselves. Do not attempt to debate or express true feelings. That is weakness to them. Just point, laugh and question their manhoods. It works!

(24,718 posts)My favorite political viewing now is Samantha Bee, smart comedians. We don't get that much viewing in but I'd watch Trevor Noah, Colbert, Myers and Maher if I got them.
That's all there is for now.

(32,710 posts)Let the creep come unglued! He wants equal time after SNL, I say give it to him. The more he shows his true colors little fits and snits the more bored the media and even the repubs will become. Picture the indulged toddler with parents that just want their little Donnie be a good boy, but he won't! Now all the parents want to do is push him off on teachers, relatives, babysitters - trouble is they they don't want him either

When will we see all those who insisted Trump's running was simply a prank tell us again when will he drop out? Will it be before
or after inauguration day?
The quote about insanity is expecting different results by repeating the same actions may be apocryphal but it is true.
I will divide my efforts between trying to mitigate the damage to come and work towards 2018 by giving people a reason to vote FOR Democrats.
If mocking is all we have, we deserve to lose.

(6,635 posts)We have so much more, including a landslide popular vote mandate, so mocking and satire are perfectly acceptable companions to our fight against fascism.
And yes, mocking has worked well in many places, just not the red-necked, racist, homophobic areas that voted for Trump.

(13,081 posts)It took too long, but I firmly believe that ridicule is what eventually made Bush sob unpopular. We need to keep ridiculing him and his ridiculous administration as much as we can. We need to do everything peaceful in our power to stop him and his agenda, and if funny people can mock Trump well, then more power to them.
