    Pot tries calling kettle black but then reveals that they’re not even in the same room and the pot is actually a giant turd and the arguments are just fart noises and everything is shit because the pot won’t stop touching things with its shit-covered hands. Then it turns out that the kettle actually was black when it really was supposed to be black the whole time, so it’s really doing its job, but the pot is still a big heaping pile of putrid shit and acne puss and should stop calling itself a pot just because 40% of Americans are either loathsome or too stupid to be left alone with a box of crayons so they decided to elect their pile of shit-acne-puss to be recognized as a pot.

    I’m pretty sure I lost the thread there, but fuck Trump.

      I don’t think it’s fair to say 40% of Americans.

      He only had ~74M votes in the last election, and he still lost. That equates generously to around 1/4 of all Americans (329M), back then. If the support numbers haven’t shifted, that’s still significantly under 25% of Americans that are too stupid to be left alone with a box of crayons.
