The conservative threw a tantrum for a tan suit. They are just too weak to be critical of Trump.

The real meta weakness of the US is this false equivalence thing - tan suit vs rape, felony, treason, and so on... yet the media is doing this 50/50 thing, focusing on impossible standards for democrats and letting everything Republicans do slide, no matter how bad.

I mean, in their imaginary conspiracy theory world the Dems have done all the terrible things that Trump has done so to them it really is "Well they already did it". They say this despite not actually having evidence that any of it happened other than their dubious sources.

Absolutely. It's the "yuh will what about" and the people who "don't like the Democrats either" that keep this country a perfect breeding ground for fascist oligarchy.

If it wasn't for double standards republicans wouldn't have any standards.

My grandpa told me the Obama family was a disgrace to the presidency because Michelle wore shorts on air force one.

Forgot her name, but the original trump administrations first blonde bimbo member had her feet up on the couch in the white house. Mightve even been the oval office. 

Biggest physical defiling of the white house until musks kid wiped boogers on the desk in the oval office.

I love the weird fucking rules these wack jobs (no offense... actually, offense intended) make up to justify their continued outrage. Shorts on AF1? Tan suit? Dijon mustard? Who gives a fuck?

u/Max_Thunder 12h ago

Why are Republicans so obsessed by clothes. Fucking Puritan zealots.

u/SycoJack Texas 12h ago

I don't think they actually gave a single flying fuck. They just wanted an excuse to hate the black man.

Ask them why the tan suit was bad, bet they can't give a good answer.

She also wanted kids to eat more veggies!

u/MBCnerdcore 13h ago

Now we can say the president has raped kids on air force one, and probably be right!

They are just too weak traitorous to be critical of Trump.

FTFY

u/Alpenglow_Snowsquall 12h ago

They’re not serious people. They’re actively working against America. Bunch of traitors. Should be purged

u/Ubahootah Arizona 12h ago

They throw a tantrum for whatever their TV tells them to. It has never been about principles, just opposition.

u/superbit415 11h ago

The democrats throw a tantrum over everything Trump does, does it achieve anything ? The democrats need to stop reading twitter and change because of it when they try to enact a policy they want.

u/random_cartoonist 5h ago

Riiight. "tantrum over a tan suit" = "protesting against jailing and deporting illegally citizens of your country".

u/Recommended_For_You 10h ago

Whooaaaa I want and read about that. Man, this country is weird. What Fox News is doing should be illegal, this as nothing to do with news, it's basically a political party network.

They are just too weak to be critical of Trump.

You mean kind of like redditors pretending the worst thing Obama ever did was wear a tan suit?

3

u/VastSeaweed543 12h ago

They’re mocking Fox News and the right News sphere in general for focusing on that so heavily, not because it’s actually the worst thing he did but because they often had nothing worse to talk about…

u/i_am_a_real_boy__ 12h ago

Yes, I get it. Like how it'd be incredibly silly to spend a decade pretending like the worst thing Trump he ever did was eat a second scoop of ice cream, even though the media really did spend time on that story.

Was it one program on Fox? Maybe two, for a couple of days? I honestly don't even remember the actual coverage. I just remember it coming up constantly, on this website, year after year, any time there's a thread about Obama.
