Many many French Fries!
I remember Donald trump going to a McDonalds in east Palestine, Ohio and announcing that he'd buy a big macs for everyone in the McDonalds to applause, then buying a big Mac for himself and no one else and leaving
Oh damn that was only last year, basically everything involving trump doing a trump thing feels like it happened in 2018 ngl
I remember Ivana Trump died so Trump buried her in one of his golf courses to exploit a tax loophole
Oh my god that's right. Did I even remember that by the end of the day?
I remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiating the wedding of two major DNC donors who basically hit the "you donated X amount so you can force a Supreme Court Justice to sing and dance for you" threshold.
They wanted to show the whole world how special they were, having The Notorious RBG officiate their wedding. That's how official a wedding it was.
And then she contracted a virus at the wedding and died of it.
Ah but do you remember RBG's personal trainer doing push-ups at her funeral in her honor?
I remember Katie Couric quietly admitting she had to cut out a lot of her interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, because RBG was being shockingly racist and Katie "didn't want to tarnish the idea of her."
I didn't know about this one either
Yet the public had no clue about the liberal icon’s even more inflammatory words. The protests, she argued, demonstrated “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life … Which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from … as they became older they realize that this was youthful folly. And that’s why education is important.”
I don't know, that's a boilerplate liberal line of thought. "You just hate liberal government because you're naive and uneducated sweety"
It is really funny and and admittedly somewhat surprising to me that someone as long steeped in this schlock as Couric was stunned that RBG, who was older than dinosaur fossils, who was besties with Scalia, was actually a racist dickhead and NOT the 'promoter of equality and justice'. I wonder if it was genuine surprise on her account, or if the 'surprise' was just a means of trying to deflect liberal ire herself.
Related to the thread title, I also remember RBG defending that she was friends with Scalia, saying something to the effect of 'we can put politics aside and acknowledge that we are both trying to better the country', and liberals ate it up because they believe that. So many of them don't believe that your politics are a core part of who you are, they just think it means you vote one way or the other every few years. Which I suppose makes sense if you have to defend voting for people like Joe Biden, you probably don't want to believe that's who you are.
So many of them don't believe that your politics are a core part of who you are, they just think it means you vote one way or the other every few years.
For many Americans, politics are just an aesthetic choice. There are no real stakes. A lot of people never really interrogate their politics, either.
This is true. I bashed on liberals in particular because they so frequently have an obnoxiously haughty stance, while simultaneously endorsing the politics of some of the most vile people on the planet.
I remember Kevin Spacey getting fired from House of Cards after getting outed as a rapist, and then he released a video of him, in character as Frank Underwood, vaguely threatening the House of Windsor if his demands weren't met.
I remember thinking it was the most "only happens in Bojack Horseman" level of crazy I've ever seen in an actor.
And then Jeffrey Epstein was killed.
And then all of Kevin Spacey's accusers were killed.
I remember him coming out of the closet at the same time as if it absolves his crimes.
I remember Rachael Maddow insisting in no uncertain terms that Trump was America's Hitler, and then she wished him a speedy recovery when he caught Covid.
I remember Trump shitting himself on Marine One as they airlifted his pestilent ass to Walter Reed.
I remember every single lib saying we can't wish death on him in that moment because of civility™
I remember Maddow boasting on having trumps tax returns and she had that big, prime time slot to reveal them, and it was nothing. As if his accountants would write "a bunch of crimes" as a line item
I mean we basically know now that he did. Which is hilarious.
I remember Michelle Obama and George W Bush being close buddies at John McCain's funeral, giving each other candies and hugging each other fondly. "Oh yes," says Michelle, "I'm his partner in crime." Her husband ran his first presidential campaign promising to charge Bush with war crimes.
I remember Kamala Harris making an impassioned argument that Bidens history of racism and support of segregationists made him unfit to be president. I also remember when she later pivoted to support him she said that it was just a debate.
IT WAS A DEBATE! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 IT WAS A DEBATE!🤣🤣🤣😂 IT WAS A DEBATE, THE WHOLE REASON- LITERALLY IT WAS A DEBATE 😂😂😂😂 IT WAS CALLED A DEBATE, 😂 AND WE WOULD TRAVEL TO THE DEBATE, 😂 AND THERE WERE JOURNALISTS THERE COVERING THE DEBATE, 🤣 WHERE THERE WOULD BE A DEBATE 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
this is verbatim.
that laugh. That "hahahaha, why would it matter what I said?" laugh.
I remember Kamala Harris being the only DNC candidate to say she found Tara Reid's story credible and worthy of investigation...
Hey remember when Tara Reade was called a Russian agent for saying Biden committed sexual assault
Remember when liberals sent her so many death threats she actually had to flee to Russia for her personal safety
I remember Ghislaine Maxwell going missing after a warrant was put out for her, and then a photo of her at an In-n-Out was posted on Twitter, where she's holding a book called "The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives". The same day, the entire nationwide system that monitors flight risks for air travel was down - the system that would have flagged Ghislaine as having a warrant out for her arrest, the same system that her twin sisters own and contract to the US government...
I spent so long assuming she either fled the country or would turn up in an oil drum somewhere. But it turns out she was just laying low at some friend's fishing retreat in Maine.
If I recall correctly the book cover was a photoshop, but everything else is correct she was at the cafe etc.
the movie poster was also shopped (to Good Boys I think?), and the outdoor advertising company said they had never had a poster for that film at that location. so maybe they did it to obscure the real date that the photo was taken rather than trying to find out what poster should have been there. and/or to send a message with the film title
I remember Sean Spicer literally hiding behind some shrubs to avoid taking questions from the press, even though they were only asking questions like "Isn't the President using the Lincoln Ballroom for a Daughters of the Confederacy reunion a bit uncouth???"
I remember him being the White House Easter Bunny under Obama.
I remember the biggest mass shooting that's ever happened in the US, the Vegas shooting, having a baffling number of suspicious details ... the Saudi prince, the shooter's private plane having once been owned by the CIA, the reports of gunfire on the tarmac as if the shooter (or someone) was trying to stop someone from leaving by plane, the really inconsistent reports from the Vegas Police and the hotel security guards ... and then one of the security guards was brought onto Ellen, where they had a full sized 3D replica of the hotel floor so they could walk through the official story one more time for the audience, and Ellen was really insistent on clarifying the official story that definitely proves it was just one guy and nothing nefarious happened in a casino with Ellen-brand slot machines.
That security guard moved to Mexico shortly after that Ellen episode was filmed.
That whole event got memory holed so fast...

True Anon episode 146, Mandalay ft. Felix
It's all quite the rabbit hole.
To this day there's still no conclusion as to why he did it
It's truly one of the wildest mass shootings in the US. A man just literally raining fire down on a concert blocks away from his hotel. And the best guess the investigators could come up with is "dunno maybe he just snapped"
I remember Scaramucci missing the birth of his first-born child so he could take an unpaid internship at the White House, which he'd be fired from a week later.
I remember the 9/11 episode of Well There's Your Problem where Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in the middle of their mid-recording break, and when Justin is the last one to hear the news he just starts cackling maniacally, like actual instant jokerfication in real time. Still my favorite episode.
my friend had the same reaction when i told him, and i couldn't help but join in
They didn't get it on video, but there is photos of this:
Pete Butt tried to do a photo op with Al Sharpton. Pete's team picked the most stereotypical black soul food restaurant they could find. They sit down and Pete orders fried chicken, collared greens, and mac. Al ordered tea and toast.
Show
I remember Elizabeth Warren taking Trump up on his challenge to take a 23-And-Me test, to prove whether or not she was part Native American as she had been insisting for decades. The test results showed she actually had less of the blood quanta that signifies North American indigenous ancestors than the average population would in general.
She has a published cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow."
She didn't publish the cookbook; it's even dumber than that. She had a "family recipe" for "Mexican oatmeal" published in the cookbook. The recipe was lifted from a foodie column in the New York Times.
She has a published cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow."
She only submitted recipes to that book, however they weren't even remotely Native American lol
The past that gets memory holed is that it took the Dem messaging machine as a whole a day or two to realize, oh, this is not good, in response to social media backlash from individual progressives and especially Native Americans.
It was very much SHE SHOWED HIM for two days to an avalanche of this ain't it comments before they realized how badly they fucked up.
I remember Hillary Clinton pulling out a tiny bottle of hot sauce from her purse to prove her street cred.
It was so dumb.
She was asked what she always has in her bag. Her every day carry so to speak. And she said hot sauce. Later after the media had done a bunch of stories about how this was embarrassing pandering or it was totally real guys she's always been down with the hot sauce, her campaign came out with an official message specifying the type and brand of the hot sauce she normally carries and stated that they also always keep chili flakes and jalapeños on hand
Honestly the subsequent news stories about her always having been in to hot sauce we just all assumed it was fake were what got me.
