I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I want to spend some time with you

Chorus

Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I

I get why people use satire to cope with absurd situations, but I don't understand why many people are so addicted to impressions of Trump, whether its SNL, or talk show hosts, or Youtubers. It stopped being funny a long ago.

The orange Trumplethinskin agrees with you... (which is funny considering he recently kicked Iran's hiney)

But here's the thing... ya see it's show biz... and with Trumpanzee the writer's union has grown lazy... because they don't have to write anything... comedians pro and amateur..they simply riff ... with an impersonation... no matter how awful... and use his exact words... so it's not so much satire as mimicry.

Besides... it hurts his feefees

and that's what makes it funny...

Pedos deserve bullying... fek him

Wow... Ferrell stole my haircut!

It's cool, though. I can pass for him again now.

Anybody who actually believes this is too incompetent and too impotent to breathe.

People like him feel vindicated every time someone makes an ode to him, whether it's done earnestly or sarcastically.

There's no such thing as bad press for this type of person.

The only thing that would hurt him is if no one ever gave him any attention again.

Trump just threatened to have Robert De Niro deported for talking trash about him.
He's recently called MTG, Boebert, Thomas Massie, and Mother Tucker everything but white people.

It gets under his orange-sprayed skin no matter how much attention it gets him; attention to his scams and corruption and Pedo Pal Past is no longer all that good for him... a wash at worst now.

I mean, his endorsement is a death knell in quite few Republican Districts for quite a few GOP Candidates these days.

Except Texas, maybe, where Paxson is another of his corrupt cronies.

I think it does because he's narcissistic.

I think his antics are derived from a business concept for problem solving back in the 80's when he was in his prime. It went like this... ahem... You can easily solve a problem by creating a bigger problem.

It was a staple of seminars and workshops... voodoo economics...

He is struggling to keep people from finding out his perversions... unless it's manly and a sign of prowess to pang a 13year-old... outside West Virginia or the Arab Emirates...
Stormy Daniels was a score because she was an attractive, blond, busty, successful porn actress and an ADULT fantasy for men... to wax their beans to... especially men of a certain red hatted demographic...

I think his feefees get hurt... BIG TIME... that is why he can't man up and admit a mistake or loss.
He threw a ring tailed hissy fit ... throwing shit at the walls the day he lost... smashing things in the West Wing... He would not appear in public... because he was crying... wailing.... bawling... and the whole world knows it. The world cheered... Notre Dame rang its bells...

He knows he's a failure... unlike his father who had business acumen... he is a professional turd polisher... like his mother... who he resembles.

Right is right.

- resembles.

That's one of the freakiest, weirdest, most frightening things I've EVER seen!

Thanks?
