I’m waiting for him to call someone a motherfucker
Kamala came so close in the debate.
Well next time gandalf steals his bicycle we'll hear it.
When did bruh replace dude? I can’t believe dude is out of fashion :(
'bruh' is more incredulous, while 'dude' is more friendly
Also, "dude" will still be "dude" in another 40 years while "bruh" will have faded from the lexicon and been replaced by a succession of a couple dozen other things.
Bruh no cap?
Fr, skibidi ohio
I rizzed so hard
And gyatt so far
But in the end
Skibidi Ohio

calling something that is the very backbone building block of this nation a problem should give you all you need to know about the angry orange
does trump even remember he was president? i doubt he can remember last week
Don't you think he looks tired.
I wish that worked for men 😡
Keep repeating it over and over again and eventually it will.
I think my wife has said something similar. If someone said that to me I’d probably be like “yeah… I do need a long nap”.
I've been told that. I usually am tired so it's not exactly surprising that I look that way.
I wish it wasn't construed as an insult, I look tired because I'm tired. I ask if you look tired because you show signs of being tired, I'm not saying you look like shit.
There is some context that you are probably missing. This is a quote from a Dr Who episode where the Doctor uses 6 words to undermine the current prime minister’s administration.

IRL I think it could be an insult or showing sincere concern, depending on the situation
That however only works in a sort of sane, trusting and honest environment - basically something to undermine to begin with. If everyone is just utterly hellbend on lying and twisting reality, it becomes just noise and has no impact.
Capaldi and Matt Smith are my personal Favorites. I like Tennant, but the utter "sassyness" of Smith and Capaldis versions where sublime to me...
Is that a Doctor Who reference?
“He couldn’t solve the problem because deep state.”
There is no zinger, no matter how truthful, that will penetrate the average republican voter’s weaponized schizophrenia.
If he can't do anything about this deep state as president, maybe there's no reason to vote for him.
If the deep state is as deep as he says then they're the ones who made him president the first time.
It’s Mitch McConnells all the way down.
They've weaponized xenophobia too!
Too? I think that’s their entire arsenal. No positive policies. Just fear mongering based on immigration.

I’m glad the Democratic establishment has Finally stopped affording him any respect.
They should have taken this approach 20+y ago
44 years ago.
Reagan ruined everything.
Nixon certainly didn't help, that's when Republicans really ramped up stoking discord for political gain. Our decision to get involved and then dig ever deeper into the Vietnam shit sandwich derailed so much potential social progress.
A president that left countless people to die to a pandemic and recommended that they inject bleach. Trump is a monster.
While sending vital medical equipment to his sugar daddy in Russia.
And that was only a few of his many, many crimes in office.
If Trump had his wits about him and he definitely does not, his retort would be to lie about the things that he did manage to do. He would just claim that immigration was the best it had ever been and he took care of it while he was in office and it's just slinked back since.
It's a fantastic dig from Obama unfortunately it's only going to be received well by Trump's opponents. His base is already under the impression that he did a good job.
Trump is senile
