Attention Trump haters! If you’ve been starved for schadenfreude lately, there’s a blog for you: Trumpgrets, a small but growing compilation of Tweets from Trump fans now feeling betrayed by Orange Mussolini.
Granted, most of them are mad at him for terrible reasons, but hey, I’ll take what I can get at this point.
Speaking of Ann Coulter, the author of In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome! and yes that really is the name of the book, is also feeling played, big league!
While it’s always delightful to see Coulter redfaced — with “blood in the face,” as her white supremacist colleagues like to put it — some of the other Tweets are more sad than funny.
Ah, Bob. You know who else is worried, Bob? EVERY OTHER PERSON ON MEDICARE OR MEDICAID. Every American with pre-existing conditions who couldn’t get insurance before Obamacare kicked in. Lots and lots of people who are just barely hanging on.
You and everyone else who voted for Trump made a huge mistake. And we’re all going to be paying for it for years.
H/T — To the WHTM reader who linked to Trumpgrets in the comments here.
Funny, you’d think with the colder weather we’d have LESS bugs flying around whining in our ears. Time to break out the smudge pots, I guess.
*Giggles*
Miggs,
Yeah? Trump himself agrees with the leftists, sweetums.
Some Trump tweets after Obama won in 2012:
He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!

The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!

We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!

I wonder why nobody ever suggests doing the same at the state level. Electoral college for the gubernatorial race, ya know? I mean, the people of NYC and the people of Utica have different geographical interests surely. I’ve still yet to hear a EC proponent suggest it be extended beyond the presidency. And why not Senate races too? They’re statewide, just like the governorship. Of course, some administrative divisions are too small for an EC to function, but not a state. Not even a lotta cities
And as for the Electoral College not favoring Democrats, in my lifetime, we’ve had Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump. That’s 3 Democrats to 4 Republicans, not terribly out of balance.
Except for that whole thing where two of these elections resulted in Republicans winning the College but losing the popular vote. Such a split hadn’t happened in a century, and now it’s happened twice in as many decades.
I’m glad you liked it! It’s been making my day ever since I accidentally went to a so-called alt-right metal show last night.
Oh what a shock. Miggs is a Trumpkin. 329 year old engineers for Trump! Trump eats the best, classiest seagulls!
I already wouldn’t want to go to a Nazi metal show. Then I saw The Green Room and now I really, really don’t want to go to one. Glad you made it out in one piece!
@Kat Because Drumpf is a grifter. He knows the first part of any confidence gain to gain the confidence of his marks. So he appeals to their emotions, their grievances and prejudices. He makes them feel that they’re right to feel the way they do, and then offers a means to fulfill their dreams.
And then when he’s got what he’s wanted, he drops them like a hot brick.
@Skeptical Skully
Yeah, I LOL’ed when I saw it. As mentioned above, I don’t want people who voted for Trump to be cut off from vital safety nets, but there are a lot of people who didn’t vote for Trump in the same boat, so it seems to me that the Trump voters in peril can endure some of the ‘oh, I’m actually f*cked aren’t I?’ anxiety that others have been enduring since well before the election.
Oh I think I recognize this one. If I’m correct theydu’ll argue with everyone and then just split a bunch of insults that look like the results of a nonsensical insult generator.
How I post images/gifs? I think I have the prefect one for when a troll shows up.
BULLSH**TER OF THE DAY: Kimberly Guilfoyle, for equating higher education with Jihadist bootcamp
We know the Fox News host really meant it because she used the word “literally.” Twice.
“I mean literally, you’re literally corrupting people’s minds and making them mentally ill and turning them into jihadists. Seriously! . . . You can just go to school here in college and listen to this nonsense and let the college that we’re paying for with our tax dollars radicalize these guys.”
–Kimberly Guilfoyle, Fox News, Dec. 1, 2016
Another public figure who doesn’t understand the standard meaning of the word literally. It doesn’t mean, “Listen to me, listen to me, people!!!!!”
It means, “What I’m saying is real, not a figure of speech.”
Yeah, Webster’s does include “in effect” as a meaning of the word.
But according to my instructors, the careful speaker or writer avoids the word literally when she means figuratively.
Of course, I’m talking about Fox News, so why should I quibble?
Perhaps it’s because I remember when San Francisco attorney Kimberly Guilfoyle married notorious leftist-Democrat and gay-marriage-enabler-in-the-making Gavin Newsom — you would have thought it was the wedding of the twenty-first century.
Shortly thereafter, she became San Francisco’s First Lady.
Then — things happened.
Kimberly, was it something we said?!
PS: Newsom has remarried, this time to feminist and documentary film maker Jennifer Siebel Newsom. He’s the lieutenant governor of California and is running for governor. As in the old days, he still wears a lot of hair gel.

TW: Mention of rape
“Sounds like the big sell-out is coming. Oh well, the voters did what we could. If Trump sells out, it’s not our fault.”
A con man and a scam artist, Ann dear, does not sell out. A con man and a scam artist cleans up instead. Trump is cleaning up right about now. His brand has been rescued and he can borrow whatever he wants or thinks he needs. For him there’s nothing but blue skies and gold bricks as far as the eye can see. His money troubles are a thing of the past; he’s found a way to vault over them on the backs of the American people. You, Ann, aided him in this feat, to the detriment of your fellow-citizens, and you strained every flaccid fiber in your bony body in order to do it. You invited them to repose their faith in a man to whom deceit is as mother’s milk, and to that extent, considering that you helped sell as true gold that which you must have known to be pyrite, I’m afraid I think some part of what’s going to happen next is your fault (sorry to say).
@PoM
I can’t tell what you’re doing; are you still going on about that little 329 years mistake I made? Was that the point of a vampire movie?
@wwth
I didn’t vote for Trump, I live in a red state so what’s the point? So I did third party. Care to complain about how I’m more responsible for Godzillary’s loss than the people who voted for Trump (or the Berniebros or whatever?). Please regale me with all of your John Oliver/Samantha Bea talking points.
@PeeVee
Again, didn’t vote for Trump. Anyone with more than two brain cells could’ve told that the guy was a sell-out from day one. Seriously, people complain about Hillary being controlled by corporate interests, so they put the corporations directly into the seat of power? That’s like deciding that you don’t like candidates being pressured by the KKK, so you put David Duke himself into office.
All I’ve learned from this is that you people think that Trump is every right-wing person’s king or some shit, and apparently you folks really don’t care for states’ rights.
Why do conservatives think the rural vs coastal states argument makes any sense when it comes to presidential elections? Are they confusing the electoral college with the senate? The number of electoral votes is based on the population of the state. People from rural states don’t get “less representation” than anybody else. The president is only one person, ffs. Hillary/Trump don’t suddenly become Alabamans just because the electoral college exists. I’ve never been able to understand why they think this works as an argument. It’s a complete non sequitur.
An election where certain people’s votes are worth more than others, is not a democratic election. No wonder the US is slipping out of the “full democracy” range of the EIU Democracy Index.
@IP
By your logic, if the majority of the population moves into a handful of states, than those states should be able to determine the fate of the rest of the country’s states. That person might be “everyone’s” president, but not everyone lives in the same state or has the same geographical interests, culture, etc. You are advocating for mob-rule, something Europe clearly just can’t get enough of.
Also, why do EC proponents always talk about the state of Mississippi but never the city of Jackson? Cali and NY supposedly overwhelm the rest of the country without the EC, but doesn’t the DC Metro already overwhelm the rest of Virginia with the EC? Outside of ME and NE, the voices of hundreds of thousands, tens of millions even, are made meaningless in each state by the EC. They simply aren’t counted. And it’s not like how ME and NE do things solves that problem either, but it does highlight how stupid the whole thing is
I find it poignant that they keep tweeting their disillusionment right at him, like they still believe he is listening and may intervene on their behalf.
Yeah, nah, not real likely. But he may have another late night Twitter meltdown, and lash out at one of them.
People from rural states actually get more representation in the EC. The number of votes is the same as the size of the state’s Congressional delegation, and the Senate is weighted in favor of less-populous states. The EC inherits that weighting.
@Kat I probably match you for late to the news. This may be because I really had no thoughts about Last Tango before this. The only time I ever saw it, I was in college, and very very drunk, and couldn’t focus on it. The dude whose house I was at yelled out the butter line when Brando said it, and that is honestly all I recall of the movie. That was the evening I made out with a woman for the first time thereby freaking out the dude, who hadn’t realized I was bi, and apparently thought he ought to intervene, in case I didn’t realize she was a girl or something. (I had noticed.) And then I threw up on his rug. It was an eventful evening.
And I’m babbling like this, because honestly, the quotes from Bertolucci upset me badly. I’m pretty fucking sure it would not have occurred to him to deceive and psychologically damage Marlon Brando to get some kind of genuine deep emotional pain on film. The extent to which he considered this woman disposable. The fact that Brando went along with it, apparently without any qualm. The mess of her life after…who the hell knows if it would have been different without this, but it can’t have fucking helped. That Bertolucci knows she hated him for it, but is still talking about being ‘free’ and doing art.
I want to beat up a seventy-six-year-old film director. Help.
Oh god that sounds terrible and disgusting.
Why do assholes have to taint everything we love?
With regards to the guy who called Trump a cuck, Donald Trump was a man who was afraid that Michael Moore was going to go hard on him on a TV interview.
Their great white hero couldn’t stand up to Michael Moore on his best behavior. What makes them think he’ll do anything they want or stand up to anyone?
Even the guy who wrote the art of the deal admits that Trump can only negotiate when he holds every single advantage and has frequently settled in court ond highly unfavorable terms.
I can only shake my head at those people.
Trump’s a con artist.
What did they expect???
@Podkayne Lives
I’m seeing red myself.
So the only help I can give you is encouragement to demolish this guy — nonviolently, of course.
Verbal zingers?
Witty songs aimed at his ego?
Perhaps an oil painting of Bernardo Bertolucci’s brain on an ego trip?
Sky painting: Bernardo Bertolucci Is a Sexual Assaulter by Proxy?
Bertolucci brags that he “didn’t tell Maria about the scene in advance because he ‘wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and the humiliation.’”
My layperson’s understanding of acting is that an actor acts. She doesn’t live through an emotion in front of an audience. She acts the emotion. And that is the difference between life and art.
