I've actually always liked him, but the reality TV version of him less so. 80s-90s Trump was fine though. I wish he'd cycle on back to that, the Apprentice type with the yuuuuge reality show personality is annoying. But obviously that's not going away anytime soon :lol:
Anyway, I mean it disturbing in a many-fold way. Like I said, we'd have to go back and micro-analyze every dumb ratings grab thing he's ever done or said (think of the Pizza Hut commercial) and consider it from the stance that it was a political genius who said it. Similar to when we see Reagan's old movies (a lot of them were completely cheesy and mega lame) and we look at it as this enormously influential figure "in waiting," so to say. Does that make sense? Like, who knew that this joker in a Hollywood cowboy hat would end up discussing nuclear war or calling for the fall of the Berlin Wall. So we're forced to re-examine his early life and early choices and see it from this historical lens. And Trump has soooo many dorky moments: the WWF fights, the shills, the late night tv moments, and that's leaving out any controversy he's been involved in (sexual harassment, etc.)
If he turns out to be a magical unicorn that saves humanity, that's fine, I'm unconcerned with how people perceive him because ultimately that matters very little. But the inevitable re-writing of history that will occur from a successful presidency would be mega annoying and that was disturbing to me.
Maybe I'm beginning my midlife rightward slide, but Sessions doesn't seem that bad to me. You and I and Cory Booker aren't going to get who we want. Republicans won. We're getting an AG who opposes abortion. If by some miracle Sessions isn't confirmed, the next guy will oppose abortion too. No way around that.
A racist who opposes a blanket Muslim ban and calls gay marriage a settled issue is still a racist, but I think it's as good as we could hope to do under Von Clownstick. He at least knows law, spent his life in public service, and isn't another wildly unqualified "outsider" who was the CEO of godaddy or some shit.
That "is only mostly racist, has held jobs similar to this one, won't ban Muslims, isn't godaddy CEO" are consolations would have been inconceivable last summer, but here we are.
Fuck. If only Bob Parsons was Attorney General. Thanks for ruining my day...
I was a little bothered today when he reaffirmed that pornography should be criminalized as a "public health crisis," but I'm not too worried. We survived Ashcroft, who put a fucking $8,000 curtain over the Spirit of Justice because boobs are evil or something. And yet, we're still not living in a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel. It'll be okay.
It does beg the question, though. If we're not allowed to look at boobs, and man-on-man action is equally abhorrent, what are we allowed to do?
