Wow, that was a hot mess, wasn't it?

I think rather than 'speech', it should be 'speechLESS'. Because that's pretty much all I can come up with. o_O

There are no words...

Wrong! There are many words. It's going to be yuge. *hand motions* They will be the greatest words you've heard. It's a fact that you'll hear words like you've never heard before. You're going to say, "I've never seen words like this." I've been told I have the greatest words. People say "No, I think I've heard that word before." They're wrong.

Everything he says sounds like a parody.

This fucking guy. What a clown canoe. Like, I can't even understand his ranting when I read it. When I hear it I understand even less. How do his hired actors even know when to cheer? He never makes any points or winds to any kind of conclusion. I wonder sometimes if there must be something wrong with my ears because I can't believe 60 million Americans can listen to this diarrhea and think "yup, totally agree, that's my pres". What kind of emperor's new clothes reality did we just step into?

Holy shit, the sheer Night and Day between Pence and Trump's speeches is just...mind boggling. Yeah, Pence is a shit-stain of a human being with repugnant views, but at least he's capable of staying on point and maintaining a coherent thought process.

I'm not sure who to be more afraid of, tbh. If we impeached Trump, we would get rid of the aggressive, incredibly incompetent demagogue...and replace him with a hateful, bigoted person who might use the platform to really go after queer people and the other groups he hates?

[beoweasel]

Thing is, though, Trump has picked people like Jeff Sessions, Stephan Bannon, and a slew of other hateful, bigoted people for his cabinet. I honestly don't think that much would change policy wise.

[sabrinita]

Indeed. Honestly, I feel like these people will be mostly running things regardless of whether we have Trump the figurehead as president or Pence >.>

It's word salad.
