He posed for a picture smiling and giving the thumbs up while standing in front of tombs on dead soldiers not even a month ago.

He is a spoiled rich kid with no will to understand the gravity of the situations that don’t affect him.

I don’t think he really is that stupid (or at least used to be, IDK how much of his intellect he has left given the decline we’ve been seeing lately). What he is, is extremely intellectually lazy. He believes that he can make good decisions by “instinct”, without ever taking some time to think about it, do some research or consulting experts. He believes that this is what being intelligent is. He just says and does whatever feels good at the time, thinking that being “so smart” means he doesn’t need to do any work at all to make good decisions. And whenever whatever he said was inevitably revealed as false or stupid, only then he will actually make an intellectual effort to bullshit and manipulate his way out of it. And this ability to perform the mental gymnastics to keep himself in denial over his incompetence is something that he has become outstandingly good at. His followers are just people who buy into those mental gymnastics.

He has been insecure about his intelligence his entire life.

That’s a lot. They make money off of people having their app running on their phone. That’s why they push their app.

Yup, it has stuck.

So… The reason that they want the mic muted is because they openly admit they don’t trust Trump is incapable of maintaining self-discipline? And yet they work to have put him in one of the most powerful positions in the world. Good job, cognitive dissonant idiots.

The most damage isn’t even from the altercation their staff had with a worker. It’s the picture he had taken of himself giving the thumbs up and smiling like the tone deaf, sheltered rich kid that he always has been while standing behind of the tomb of someone who died because of the absolute trainwreck of a negotiating job he did with the Taliban.

He’s fine. All he has to do is pull himself to by his bootstraps, cancel his Netflix account and he’ll be back a billionaire in a year.

Never had that issue

I used to be annoyed by this. I’m running GrapheneOS so I denied Google Photos access to the network but it didn’t stop it from asking every few times I started the app. Sometimes it even ignored my response and tried to connect to the network anyway.

I just uninstalled it and installed Fossify Gallery instead from F-droid. Haven’t looked back since.

The aftermath of a dumpster fire

That was no secret. He is acutely insecure and copes by keeping himself wrapped in a shell of mental gymnastics and denial about all of his shortcomings and inadequacies as a political leader and a grown adult instead of working at correcting them. Insecure people hate to have their insecurities exposed and mocked.

Aaaand… Whatever company hadn’t pulled their assets out of Russia yet are now scrambling to do it.

Carefully dremel a slot in the screw head and use a flat head screwdriver.

Make sure you don’t get any dust into the electronics.

I must have missed something. Had it ever stopped?

And she pays them.

He’s pandering to his hard-right base who will actually believe this bullshit. The problem for him is that by doing this he’s driving everyone else away.

As Sun Tzu said, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

Fucking called it. That’s all he knows to do.

He’ll probably just call her a “communist” again for it.
