We know that it is a fantasy and a comic because that is not a believable wakeup time for the purported subject.

Correct. He used to tweet at 4 AM.

Do you want to hear what other has-beens are saying? It’s not pretty.
(To be specific, Tucker Carlson & Charlie Kirk talking about American Military)

And are Trump ear pads still a thing?
I mean, I can imagine the crowd of his recent rallies stuffing their ears with them, but it is not the use the Trump campaign favors.

It’s hard to believe he managed to find a running mate who is less spineless than Mike Pence. I appreciate the T monogrammed pajamas detail, but the cult members aren’t wearing sympathy bandages to own the libs anymore.

[ @ ^ Would you like to break the habit of a lifetime and rather than trolling, tell us what Tethys “intended to express” instead of leaving us guessing? Their comment was perfectly clear and correct as far as I (and I think others) are concerned.
Also, why are we using square brackets?]

Also, why are we using square brackets?
For decades now, I have expressed meta-comments — that is, comments not relating to the topic at hand, but about the conversation resulting from the OP — within those square brackets.
Basically, what you just did, but explicitly marked up.
That’s why I used them. Meta tags, basically.

Not only I am not trolling now, I have never ever trolled.
What I do is comment.
You can poison the well all you want, but what I write is there for those who care to read what I write.
So, there is no habit I can break, outside your conceit.
I hereby elucidate, at your request.
‘spineless’ is the attribute at hand. Lacking a spine is to what the term refers.
It follows that less spineless means less lack of a spine; that is, more spine.
(Just like less unhappiness means more happiness, relatively)
The intention was, as I make it, to indicate even less than no spine (I know), not more than not spine, from this specimen.
(Akin to a double negative, but semantically rather than mathematically)

I take care not to watch coverage of Trumo speaking, but I am told even conservatives are noticing he is making less sense than usual.
If becomes president and goes gaga, J D Vance will become president, which is at once hilarious and utterly horrifying.
Tethyssays
More spineless sounded worse than less spineless, though it would have been clearer had I said even less spineless. Pence did manage to find a vertebrae when asked to commit crimes for the loser.
In any case, IMO both John and Bob owe Mano an public apology for their crappy behavior that required instituting a new comment policy.
I also find the prospect of JD being in line for POTUS horrifying. I didn’t elect Peter Theil and I absolutely hate the various douchbro venture capitalists who are bankrolling the misogyny ticket.

Tethys, it’s only fair to point out that John is correct. To be spineless is to be cowardly, so to be less spineless is to be less cowardly. ‘Vance has even less of a spine than Pence’ is the opposite of ‘Vance is less spineless than Pence’.

You have a strange notion of fair. Yes, John is correct in his nitpicking, but so what? Did you fail to read #9? Ignoring the topic because one feels it necessary to make pointless personal critiques of others comments is WHY the comment policy was changed in the first place.
Everyone knows exactly who [name redacted] is, and he absolutely owes Mano a public apology for his behavior.
As does Bob.
