Well, I can give him a pass on that because he has all the best words so it makes sense he'd need to impersonate a spokesperson for himself.

Isn't it obvious Trump is a nutcase? Sometimes I just have to step back from the political news and ask the obvious: What The Fuck? How can anyone think this guy would make a good president or even a mediocre president?

I think the answer is that some people have been sucking down the crazy for so long they no longer remember that it was never meant to be taken for truth, it was just supposed to be a bracing shot of bluster. But now it all seems plausible somehow? I mean, it turns out there's folks out there who actually believe that Michelle Obama is transgender and a murderer, apparently, to keep her transgender identity a secret.

Maybe they are spiking the water with something? Who knows?

The funniest most ridiculous part, to me, is not that he sock-puppeted a spokesman for himself, but that he did it so BADLY. He didn't even attempt to change his voice even a little, his story made no sense and he kept forgetting it as he was telling it, it's like it just never occurred to him that people would know he was lying. Or would call him out on it.

I have met a lot of people, mostly men, who lie reflexively and just skate by on the assumption that it's bad form to call people out for lying.

Huh, how did that get to be a social norm? Doesn't seem like a good idea.

Well it's probably not, but since it doesn't usually harm the liar, there's not much impetus to change things. A lot of times what I am calling lies would fall under the category of embellishment, like "I was in training to be an Olympic athlete" when the truth is more "I am very proud of the swim competitions I won in high school." The other big category is self-serving lies, either lying for personal gain or lying to avoid something you don't want to do.

So, on my way home just now, I saw a person who looked like a man from the neck up, who was wearing a cute skirt and tights. I would love to know what their deal is! Man who likes skirts? Not a man? Even though obviously I have no right to know. So I'm posting here to get the question out of my head.

Timelies all!

Ugh, tired.

Everyone crazy enough to follow me on Tumblr today: it is full of reblogs and jackassery. It's like me here, but without intervening posts by other people to slow me down, or the need to post in different threads depending on what my topic is, WITH PICTURES.

IJS.
