    The reason Kennedy left the Democratic Party and joined Trump, is because Kennedy is a dangerous idiot and Trump os a gullible fool, and Democratic voters don’t tolerate his idiocy.

    Trump switched for the same reason. He said so explicitly: Republicans are easier to con.

    What is this “Democrat Party” that I keep hearing so much about from the crazies?

    No such party exists. If you cannot even get the goddamn name of the party right (many of them doing this on purpose, of course), then I have no need to listen to anything you have to say about them…it’s one thing for the average person on the 'net or whatever to do playful names, but prominent people on the right have been doing this for literal decades.

      It works as a good dipshit detector. If someone says “democrat party”, you know it’s about to be someone’s conservative uncle.

        Thing is, even their most prominent people say it, including Taco.

        Much like them arguing about who is more “maga” (a completely undefined term with no policies and no real principles - it’s just baby-talk) , it tells me that cons and the Republicans are entirely unserious people.

        When their spokescreatures and politicians open up their mouth to talk about “the Democrat Party”, it just sounds like they are just trying to troll the other party, or they are so deeply ignorant as to not even know what the name of the party even is. I’m not sure which is worse.

      Yeah, she sure does look like someone at least 45 with filler and botox. I think it’s a style thing, she got the filler and botox already for some reason. Perhaps evil does age people.

        • It’s strange, because to certain groups of people, “botox and cheek filler face” is the standard of beauty. To me, I can only see it as someone intentionally putting their face into an uncanny valley.

            This is just one man’s opinion but fake tits, bad nose jobs, or filler face often completely destroy a woman’s attractiveness. Filler face is to women’s faces what boob jobs used to be to their bodies. They look like trash and I understand that most of them are doing it for the delight of the dog shit monied douche set. So, have fun with that I guess.

            I also understand that these women don’t owe me anything and it’s their bodies to alter and their lives to live, but that’s my opinion.

            I wouldn’t be surprised if there becomes a “fetish” for natural women’s faces just like there’s a “fetish” for natural tits.

              I think when the surgery is good, nobody notices it. Two women at my work had to get eyelid lifts for medical reasons, and both came out looking so much better and not at all “done”. Really nobody would ever think they had plastic surgery and even I forget then think wow that was great work.

              That standard filler face though? I know the look it’s emulating and we cannot all look like that! I knew an old old lady who had been a Vogue fashion model in the 40s and 50s and she had that bone structure that ages so well, the high big cheekbones, eyebrows that had started out so high she had room for them to fall, I look at those overdone samey samey faces and it’s not going to work. I cannot take my wide round face and morph it into that with filler!

              Sunscreen. Retin-A. Sleep and exercise. Those are the way to keep looking good as you are getting old. I can’t understand botox because if exercise keeps everything else healthy how is it bad for your face?

                People getting hooked on cosmetic surgery looks really similar to how dysmorphic anorexics wind up.

                Sometimes a surgeon can do an amazing job, and many will consistently do so. Much like how people can look much better by loosing weight. You probably couldn’t tell if someone had their abdominal adipose tissue injected into their butt or breasts if it was done well and you didn’t know. But then they’re likely to decide it isn’t enough.

                Dealing with dysmorphia is hard. Changing to body neutral attitudes is hard. Seeing your body realistically is hard. I struggle with weight based dysmorphia myself and I know I possess the capacity to starve myself emaciated and still think I look fat because I have organs.

                I find it ironic in a way, that Ms loomer is a transphobe who probably thinks we need therapy to deal with dysphoria, while being clearly at the mercy of her dysmorphia.

                There’s a question I’ve seen posed in some circles before: “Do you need a boob job, or do you need to read some feminist theory?” It’s not meant to be accusative, the answer can be either and thats ok, but it’s important to actually consider that your perspective of your body and of other bodies may be skewed before you surgically go changing things based on your insecurities. Even if you pick the boob job, you’re more likely to go in with realistic goals and less likely to keep getting another procedure if you’ve seriously thought about it before.

                  Yeah I was an anorexic teenager and while I didn’t just keep getting smaller, was maintaining at 99lbs, 5’9" for years. I weigh about 150 now and even though I literally feel so good physically, and understand that’s kinda unusual at my age, and have managed to at least keep my bone mass (it’s low, obviously, but not declining, made it through menopause with all of it, and that’s also unusual) and logically understand that:

                  1. This is considered smack dab perfect weight for my height and age.

                  2. Losing weight now would be kind of dumb and counterproductive.

                  I cannot shake the fear and dislike and anxiety over being this big. I don’t want to be 99lb, no way no how absolutely not. But at every single point between that and this I feel too fat. There is no weight that will look how I want, though, and again, I suspect this here is ideal because nothing hurts and I’m strong, though not fast. I know it’s my mind that is the problem, and not my body. But knowing it doesn’t make me not feel too big.

                I think when the surgery is good, nobody notices it.

                I think some of them (weirdly) strive to look like they’ve had plastic surgery. It’s like a marking of their status or something.

                There’s some mixture of an uncanny valley and/or Habsburg jaw effect to the women that surround Trump in particular.

                When I heard Kristi Noem had to be rushed to the hospital due to an allergic reaction, my first thought was that it was from some type of cosmetic procedure she was having.

                  I think it’s more likely to be unregulated dysmorphia. Maybe they start with a bit to get the fox news look, but cut by cut wind up like that trying to fix every “flaw” with a procedure.

      Plastic surgery on a 60 year old will make her look 45, plastic surgery on a 25 year old will make her look 45. It’s really funny when young people want to look old.

    The fact that RFK jr and all his bullshit went unchallenged, and he could have landed in either party is the real problem.

    Trump and Biden were never seriously challenged either.

      Yeah, I mean look at Cuomo for mayor. Keeping around provably corrupt politicians became more common most notably with Donald Trump but it applies now to both parties.

      Cuomo shouldn’t be able to run for dog catcher after his actions, and yet he’s there at the top of the polls and getting endorsements from other establishment figures.

        Absolutely, and I truly believe it all comes back to money in politics. When money equals speech, money is represented, not the people. It’s nothing new & always been a problem, but Citizens United really accelerated it.

  • These people didn’t support Trump out of a selfless desire, out of altruism, out of a sense of love and patriotism for their country. They did it to benefit themselves.

    She just described the entire Trump administration. No thoughts, empty head.

    Also, when the talks, her mouth moves and her eyes blink but the rest of her face does not move and it’s freaking me out.

    The only reason why Kennedy left the Democrat Party, as he said, and joined the Republican Party is because he extorted Donald Trump. He extorted Donald Trump. He forced him under the pressure of – in the threat of a contingent election, that he wasn’t gonna drop out, and they were very calculated in the funding that they received to get on the ballot in certain states to take just enough electoral votes away from Donald Trump to force Congress to choose the next president of The United States. Okay? And Tulsi Gabbard made a deal with Trump too, to get a position in his administration.

    I can’t conceive of saying this about trump and still supporting him. A person susceptible to extortion is by definition not a good politician.

    It’s so annoying when people end their statements with an upward inflection like a question, okay? It makes you sound like a mouth-breathing moron, okay? It’s a sign that you aren’t a talented public speaker, okay right?

    Though I do miss that brief period where she and the orange bad were constantly photographed together and she was clearly chortling his junk, okay?
