    But “basket of deplorables” was beyond the pale. Not to mention “smokey eye.”

    Edit: What the fuck?

    And in delivering that last bit about the tampons, it should be noted that Trump instructed the crowd to have any children in the room cover their ears, as to not be exposed to the word “tampon.”

    Weird is just the best adjective. It really is.

      He’s got the same logic as my sister did when she was 13 and a super sheltered Christian who still fully believed the mythology.

      She went to our mother to try and get me to stop watching a cartoon because it very lightly touched on the fact that women have menstrual cycles. And by that I mean “a girl started her period and had to deal with that for about five minutes” in an episode of braceface

      I never once got any sort of “coming of age” talk from either parent, but by then I already knew something happened every month that cause women pain and bleeding in their stomach and pants, respectively, and no idea why. The fact that they used tampons and pads seemed logical to me, as they absorb things. Like putting a bandaid on a cut.

      My tiny child mind was not broken by these things.

        By your logic your tiny child mind was not broken. By their logic you have been forever scarred by this knowledge as if you had eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

    Maybe, but we’re the fun kind of perverts. The kind that think consenting adults who aren’t hurting anyone can do what they want. Trump’s supporters are the weird kind of perverts. The kind that won’t stop thinking about the genitals of everyone they meet, including kids.

      The best thing about being a pervert that honors consent is you can really perverted and nobody will have a problem with it.

    Cool story bro. Now tell us the one about the size of your crowds that nobody cares about but you.

    I think people are beginning to ignore Trump’s crazy fits, so he is dialing it up a notch, which will probably only serve for people to ignore it as irrelevant and weird even more.
    His attempts at nicknames and scorn are losing their bite, and since that’s the cornerstone of his rhetorical method, he will probably decline even further for the remainder of the presidential campaign.
