    Wait, isn’t this the same asshole who was going to walk with his supporters to the Capitol? Isn’t this the guy who was talking about “fighting?” Why the FUCK didn’t he make this speech yesterday? He’s only being conciliatory now to save his skin, because his attempted coup fizzled out. He needs to be impeached AND 25thed, and prosecuted by all the jurisdictions waiting for him to no longer be shielded by the office of the Presidency. He needs to be shamed and humiliated, along with all of his Republican enablers.

    I won’t believe him until he’s in an orange prison jumpsuit.

    I assume he’s doing it only because the few remaining people who work for him have been slapping him around the face telling him he has to or they’ll 25th his ass.

    They should do that anyway, but I think that’s the only possible motivation.

    That was almost a normal coherent presidential speech for a surprising percentage over 2 and a half minutes! Granted the bar to clear is insanely low but he managed to clear it more than once which is freaking me out.

    Too bad they hadn’t started slapping him around four years ago…

    The party was in full swing then, and they were having too good a time; before the neighbours had not started banging on the walls and calling the cops. And meanwhile the SS Trump was much then higher in the water, with a full load of rats, who had not yet decided to take their chances and dive overboard.

    I thought he was banned… Or did they just let this one through because of its content?

    That was just delightful…

    He just threw all those motherfuckers under the bus

    He was banned from Facebook. That was Twitter.

    Nice try, Ophelia, but that’s a doctored video. Fake news!

    Here’s the real one:

    Fine words, given he ordered it in the first place. Literally ordered it, as in, he gave them instructions to storm the buildings of the federal government and to be “wild”.

    “I immediately deployed the national guard and federal law enforcement” – actually, Pence did. Trump was still urging them on while they were sacking the place.

    I could probably go line by line and find lies or evasions in every sentence. In fact I was going to, but by 25 seconds in I’ve already heard enough that it would take paragraphs to take apart, so bugger it that one will do.

    I can’t bear to watch Trump being reasonable. I’m afraid my head will explode.

    Question: Will Biden get security briefs now?

    Security briefs – are they like chastity belts?

    I’ll see myself out.

    It was weird watching this just now with the sound off–he literally looks like a marionette being jerked around by an incompetent puppeteer. His neck extends and contracts, his shoulders weave back and forth, he’s suddenly jerked bolt upright and then slumps again.

    guest, that’s just what I thought. I wondered who was on the other end of the strings.

  16. guest Avatar

    I don’t actually know what physically makes a person move like that. Some of it is just squirming, like he’s itchy or needs to pee, but the neck thing and the jerking upright thing I have no idea.

  17. Ophelia Benson Avatar

    The snapping the head to one side and then the other, repeat repeat repeat, drives me absolutely CRAZY. It makes watching him even more painful. WHY DOES HE DO THAT?

  18. guest Avatar

    I noticed in this clip the head-tilts are much reduced, and the handwaving is virtually nonexistent.

  19. Ophelia Benson Avatar

    The tilts are very small – just an inch or so in either direction – but I don’t think they’re less frequent, are they? Mind you I can’t prove it either way and oh god the agony of trying.

  20. guest Avatar

    Oh yeah maybe you’re right. Not sure I want to do the quantitative observations, not even FOR SCIENCE.

    Any idea what’s making him jerk bolt upright every now and then? I guess people do that when they’re really tired and almost falling asleep. Or maybe someone’s put a shock collar on him.

    Re #8, as I understand it, Trump was allowed back onto Twitter.

    guest, no idea at all, I didn’t even notice that part. Too horror-fixated on the head snaps, I guess.

    Was the video saved somewhere? All I get is an “account suspended” page at that link.

    Sort of; they’re what Mormon men wear.
