Actually most just think that the people who chant that stupid phrase are barely capable of forming a cohesive sentence structure and are not expecting much more.

you think that. doesn’t mean anyone else does.

ron desantis and dan crenshaw have degrees from harvard, and both use that phrase with humor.

it’s hysterical. the crowd was obviously chanting one thing, and the reporter ( quite symbolic of the entire media) came to the defense of biden and insisted they were saying something else. it’s a riot.

you want the entire media to
serve as the public relations department of the DNC, fine. we get to laugh about it.

exactly. where we respond with laughter, their only response is to spit hate.

it says a lot that one side has a sense of humor and the other has none.

Trumplicans never measured his success by what he did for them, they measured by what he did AGAINST people they don't like.
That's why they see him as being "successful" and why they will never abandon him.
His tormenting of "the others" sustains them.

Deplorable isn't it.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

i measure trumps success in terms of things he did to help everyone - tax cuts, net energy independence, ridiculously low unemployment ( especially minorities), increased funding for black schools, creation of economic opportunity zones in our cities, tax cuts, keeping us safe

because i’m not a liberal, i can also measure his failures in terms of things he didn’t do that would have helped us all, like lack of improving health insurance, lack of building the wall, not putting down riots in the summer of 2020. i don’t have to pretend he had no failures. he had some
doozies.

That is exactly right. If the right thinks they can "own" someone they are happy.

Deplorable seems to be the perfect word for today's R party.
