    Ugh.Stephen A. Crockett Jr.

    It’s a song that hates us all, and yet is loved by many, and I don’t know one person who has downloaded or listened to it fully with admiration, and today, it’s been nominated for a Grammy, proving that assholes stay winning.

    I finally heard this song a couple of weeks back. I was expecting some kind of transcendent groove or hook or something.

    I came away wondering why the fuck this song is so popular.

      Same here. But I concluded that it’s popular because it popular. People figured they were supposed to know it and maybe even like it, so they did and they did.

      It’s 2017, the 2010s needed a stupid song with no real meaning or point that somehow wins all the awards to end the decade on.

    Saw the title and was about to say “Who doesn’t think that 45 is an asshole at this point?”

    And then I remembered. And sighed.

      Even the people who like Trump the most would probably (and gladly) admit he’s an asshole. Half the reason they voted for him is that he’s an asshole. The other half is that he’s racist.

      “Who doesn’t think that 45 is an asshole at this point?”

      96,021,504* Americans, going by the current approval figures!

      * 38.4% of a 250,056,000 electorate.

    Lastly-lastly, what the hell does he expect to come from a meeting about which he announces on social media that nothing will come from said meeting.

    This. The fucking meeting hasn’t even happened yet, and he’s insulting the people who are on their way over, then is gonna smile and shake hands with them as if Twitter only exists in his head and no one else saw that Tweet.

    Hey “Chuck and Nancy,” turn the fuck around and the Asshole in Chief to fuck off.

      I think he got what he wanted, because “Chuck and Nancy” just canceled the meeting on account of this tweet. Now Donald can have his nap and not have to listen to big words about things he neither understands nor cares about.

      And he can wake up and blame the Democrats for not working with the GOP, thus giving his cult more reasons to hate the “lib’ruls.” People will forget this Tweet so the budget failing won’t be because it’s shitty, it’ll be because the Dems didn’t want to work with them. It’s a pretty obvious and simplistic strategy.

    ‘“Chuck and Nancy” as if they were a lounge singing group...’

    Point of order, Stephen: Chuck and Nancy are really more radio-gardening-show-host names.

    BTW, I just want him to say “niggers” and “wetbacks,” already, and get it over with. That’s all this “weak on crime” bullshit he keeps sluring everyone with is code for. Everyone knows what he means.

    Why so shy, Donald?

      One tiny point of disagreement: Donny Two Scoops is from NYC, and grew up in the West Side Story era. He’ll reach for “spic” instead.

    The Justin Bieber version of Despacito is horrible an asshole. The original is pretty okay.

      The only thing good about the Bieber version is the Randy Rainbow parody it inspired.

    The thing is... white america (those who voted for him) in general are assholes. Look at that coffee shop article. Look at their response to players kneeling. Look at their reaction to Charlottesville and Police brutality against minorities. Look at their responses to factual stats about ongoing racism in America. They are what they are. Self indulgent dicks who only react when it affects them or theirs. Hence the reason so many of them brush off his disrespectful actions. He’s everything they are except he can say it openly with no repercussions.

      Exactly. Thus their mantra “He tells it like it is” — they wish they could do the same with no repercussions.

    You shut your whore mouth. “Despacito” - “Slowly’, BTW; time to learn a little Es Pan Yole, yo. We do live in America, after all - is a perfectly serviceable pop song, and a helluva lot better than half the stuff that gets played on Top 40. Don’t you dare sully Senor Fonsi’s good name by comparing this song to the Asshole-in-Chief.

    Now Daddy Yankee? That’s an annoying asshole; I’ll give you that much, but no more than that.

    Trump’s so fascinated with crime. I’ve noticed that as people get older, they become ever more fearful about crime. Crime rates are at record lows right now, but Trump is trying to make it seem like it’s the late 70s and early 80s all over again. He knows his base, that’s for sure. Fearful and ignorant. He also seems to have no idea how “making deals” work. He confuses “making a deal” with “fleecing a rube”. Sorry, it only works if your mark is dumber than you are, Trump. You are in the biglies now. You are going to run into people with Ph.D.s, who have studied things their entire lives that you can’t even pronounce. You aren’t going to pull a fast one on these people.

    Using random caps doesn’t just denote that the president might be a highly functioning third-grader, it proves that he’s an asshole.

    Or that after three generations, he’s still mentally translating his rants from the original German before typing?
