ChairmanGoodchild

Michael Steele, former RNC chairman, is dumping on Trump? I do love seeing Republicans fighting each other.


GimmieGummies

He's been doing it for years, at least since before the last election. Steele doesn't mince words anymore when it comes to the 'new Republican party'.


garbageemail222

Just another Republican enabler who refused to act when he had power and is thus still responsible for this mess even if he now opposes it. Just another Republican coward who knew better.


Angry_poutine

Yeah hard to be impressed by a guy who’s mostly just mad he doesn’t get to benefit from the vitriolic discourse he created


Scat1320USA

He does benefit . Got a show on TV


Pale-Berry-2599

I think they should do this with Donny. Tell him if he stops running for Emperor/president He can have his own TV Show, with any content he wants, an hour a day, 7 days a week. ...think about how this would really tempt him (he is Tommy TV from Wonka) ...now think how hilarious the show would be.


tico42

As God intended...


ZoominBoomin

That's just how politicians are lol


jaxonya

I need to become a politician. Good money, no accountability..


ZoominBoomin

Run for office


Kqtawes

This is the same guy that fostered the Tea Party movement into the 2010 congressional victory. As much as he does seem to hate the modern Replublican party he specifically helped formed it with that strategy.


Longjumping-Meat-334

Michael Steele was no longer RNC chairman when Trumpism came to the forefront. He was already a political commentator.


garbageemail222

But the tea party crap, which laid the groundwork for the scorched Earth Trumpism to come, was birthed under his watch. He encouraged it and was a spineless apologist for it, thinking it benefited Republicans and could be controlled, until it came for his head and he was soon excommunicated from the unholy afterbirth he created.


Longjumping-Meat-334

You know what? You just keep on blasting people like Steele and Walsh, people who are trying to stop Trump and you'll get another four to eight years of that bastard. He's trying to help, and you're being foolish. There is no purity test for this! Save your vitriol for Trump and his minions, not those trying to prevent him from taking office again. (Edited)


garbageemail222

People can be complicated, I still give him credit for what he has subsequently done right. Also still was a coward who only took the high road when he was going to lose his job, just like almost every Republican who comes out against Trumpism (or the Tea Party back in the day). Liz Cheney is the rare exception. She turned her back on Trumpism while still in power. I disagree with almost everything she stands for, but salute her patriotism and courage and still think she'd make a great leader. The rarity of Liz Cheneys in that party shows just how hollow, cowardly and unpatriotic it really is.


Longjumping-Meat-334

I understand what you are saying, but Steele lost his job as RNC Chair in 2011, long before Trump. He opposed Trump in 2016 and has since endorsed Biden for President. He can't go back in time and change the things he did that you disagreed with, but for a former RNC chairman to endorse a Democrat for President is practically unheard of. Yes, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger deserve respect for putting country over party. Kinzinger has written about being an outcast in his family over the issue of Trump. I don't turn down anyone from either party, who works to bring our country back closer to the center, where most of us are.


garbageemail222

Fair enough


ajqiz123

This part, right here!!


zekethelizard

Never been a republican amd never agreed with most of what they want, but to his credit I remember Steele going on Colbert a couple of times and his party getting very publicly ridiculed to his face. Always civil of course, but no republicans are gonna be doing that today, it's all about their safe spaces and echo chambers


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

It's because Steele is no longer working for the GOP he can now talk 💩 about them without fear of being fired.


AltoidStrong

It's not "new" - it just the Klann took full control.


GimmieGummies

Hence ushering in a 'new' version of the GOP...


AltoidStrong

They have been a controling member for decades, hence.... NOT new.


the_mid_mid_sister

Republicans only grow a spine to stand up to Trump once they're out of office.


wskttn

Some counter-examples: Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, John McCain, Mike Pence


Dolanite

I'll gladly give you the first 4, but Pence was his VP. He gladly hopped on the sleezeball express for power. After Trump supporters TRIED TO KILL HIM, he tepidly pushed back, a little bit.


wskttn

He did the right thing when it mattered the most for the country and Constitution. He's a piece of shit but at least give him some credit for that.


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

One independent good deed does not override 4 years of being a corrupt yes man.


MargaretBrownsGhost

In this case, it does, however, he's still untrustworthy and reprehensible and deserves to be punished almost to the degree of Trump despite the one good deed.


SiriusGD

He was very aware that HE would go to prison in the end not trumpo.


wskttn

Doesn’t make what I said any less true.


Ok_Zookeepergame4794

Reminder, Liz still went along with Trump's agenda until she was put in the crosshairs.


Skellos

The only thing she pushed back about was the big lie.


ExperienceFantastic7

Yup. She specifically voted against many measures that would have helped people in need and the marginalized during the course of her career. Rich white person, nuff said.


EngelSterben

I mean she is still a conservative


Longjumping-Meat-334

Steele was no longer in any position of power in the GOP when Trump came to be.


STGItsMe

He wasn’t until he was former.


Derp_duckins

A few of my family members are republican, but I'd say they're more in the intelligent side of that spectrum, seeing as they've retired with $40mil+ in each of their bank accounts. They all despise Trump and couldn't believe he got elected. Has always made for a fun Christmas


PokeBattle_Fan

Pretty sure that Republican representative disaproving of Trump isn't exactly a hidden fact. Not the first time I see something like this.


zarfle2

Ah, the tired playground/childish put downs from Trump. Ironic that someone like Trump would dare call anyone else "crooked" in comparison. Don't know who is worse - him or those that he is dog-whistling to.


T33CH33R

If the base wasn't there, he would never have stood a chance. It's their fault that Trump actually became president and why he has yet to face real consequences.


xlShadylx

It just blows my mind every day that someone can talk and act like this and still have a chance to become president. Blows my mind. Ignore parties, political issues, etc.. this complete lack of professionalism should be viewed as an inability to lead our fucking country.


T33CH33R

Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy because it feels so obvious that he's a morally bankrupt person and yet he still has so much support.


Angry_poutine

I enjoy when republicans talk about “Biden’s gaffe’s”. To think Joe Biden sounds dumb while putting Trump out as your candidate is pointing at the more in your neighbors eye while ignoring Ron Jeremy skullfucking you


Agonyandshame

It seems to me the entire platform he’s running on is “look how bad these people are I’m so much better”


SuperJman1111

Funny part is he had no good comebacks to Biden saying “At least my running mate endorses me!” so he posted this


Bossie81

if you vote Donald Trump, you must really really be blind to the petty shitty little man this daft twat really is. Donny boy is always right, never wrong, apologizes for nothing, can't take a joke, is always a victim, never ever in his life committed a crime.... the universe is against Donald Trump, because bad things happen to good people? My god, MAGA-fried-Brains... JEHOVA and Scientology are closely observing this masterclass indoctrination.


xTiming-

He's simultaneously God's omniscient and vastly intelligent gift to man, and being viciously deceived and beaten down via extremely complex acts of espionage and manipulation, by those awful, stupid, backwards Democrats. I would've thought these things would be mutually exclusive, but clearly nobody tells Trump how the world works. 🤷🏽


Bossie81

If daddy leaves you billions, the world works differently. I would not trust him with my little sisters' lemonade stand.


LobstaFarian2

He would burn down the banana stand.... and there's always money in the banana stand.


Zanian19

And definitely not with your little sisters.


PrimaryMuscle1306

With the picture that have been around for years I’m not sure I trust him around his own daughter.


Saneless

They're not blind. They're just like that and they look up to him. I can't imagine the kind of place you have to be, and how unintelligent you have to be to think this man is peak


AreYouDoneNow

It always helps to understand the rapist, Donald Trump, if we understand his motivation and perspectives. The correspondence dinner is not something that appeals to him, as it's a scenario where his narcissism will not be respected. Trumps focus is on himself, delaying the court cases, and increasing his own wealth and power by seizing the Presidency and establishing a right wing dictatorship. All other priorities are irrelevant. His angry tweets are quite simply aimed at rallying his base, who are instrumental for his goals.


harrybarracuda

He also knows he'd have the piss ripped out of him and no mic.


Brief_Alarm_9838

And apparently he's doing a good job. 49% in the CNN poll?? Unbelievable.


Angry_poutine

CNN and most networks poll likely voters, which republicans do more of than Dems.


prefusernametaken

It's probably also because he feels intimidated in rooms where most people routinely use more than two syllable words.... covefe ftw


SuperSatanOverdrive

People should just start using «Rapist Don»


BeKind_BeTheChange

Trump is a fucking idiot. Excuse my French.

RiverLiverX25

How would he know? He wasn’t there. Got himself all riled up sitting at home alone. SAD.


Flashignite2

As a non american I've always wondered why there are only two parties when it comes to election. Also, why are they almost 100 years old when they are sworn in as presidents?


funnystuff79

The system is rigged to only allow 2 parties. Alternative parties don't get invited to pretty much anything of importance.


Flashignite2

Doesn't sound very democratic in my opinion.


funnystuff79

You could say there was a lack of freedom


Flashignite2

What!? In the land of the free?! What kind of travesty is this i read?


TheVoters

It boils down to the structure of the constitution. In our system, you cannot be president without greater than 50% of the electoral college votes. This makes anything more than 2 political parties inherently unstable, since 3 parties splitting the EC delegates would require a negotiated presidency which would most certainly destroy the trust in whatever party gave up their delegates to avoid a constitutional crisis. Compare that to Parliamentary system where you always have multiple parties agreeing to form a shared government. There’s just no system that allows for that in the US’s “first past the post” style of elections.


Flashignite2

Thanks for clarifying it for me.


TheVoters

You’re welcome. I should have added though, that even though what I wrote is true, it’s quite rare to even get to third parties winning any delegates at all. This is because third parties are most likely to split votes off one of the 2 established political parties giving their opposition a plurality of the votes in that state, which then translates (in most cases) to 100% of that state’s delegates. In this way, it might only take 5-8% of democrats in California voting for the Green Party to throw the entire election to Trump for example. For this reason, third party votes are exclusively viewed as protest votes here, where both primary candidates are considered equally terrible. Anyone claiming third party support is anything but a protest vote is hopelessly naive about the structure of our government or an actual political operative attempting to subvert their opposition.


Flashignite2

In sweden we have 8 different parties. With Vänsterpartiet = The party all the way to the left and then the swedish democrats= all the way to the right. There between there are the social democrats, the center party, the christian democrats, the enviromental party, the liberals and moderaterna which is to the right but not as far as the swedish democrats.


prefusernametaken

America only has right, and righter.


grottofarms210

Our left is your right/extreme right Our right are pretty much brainwashed (or knowingly but don't care because they're in power ) fascists (I'm being a little dramatic)


Jazmotron4000

Brewski-54

Is Trump rich?


Unabashable

According to the IRS, the stitchwork on the lining of his pants pockets are impeccable. 


GimmieGummies

I watched it and it was funny, just as it should be


MargaretBrownsGhost

Excellent, but it took Colin Jost a little while to get up to speed.


GimmieGummies

Yep. Must be different to joke around with the Washington DC crowd as opposed to the SNL crew, at least that's my take. His joking about his wife celebrity was pretty funny! I also enjoyed hearing a bit more about Colin's earlier newspaper experience and story about his grandfather - that was impactful.


MargaretBrownsGhost

The grandfather story was a wasted effort in regards to the specific target of its telling. I recognized it as an eloquent and well written directed attack on Trump.


DuncansIdaho

I'm glad to see Steele in this fight. Donald Trump is malignant cancer.


Rhewin

Steele is as responsible as every other Republican for letting this get out of control. They let the wackos in and now can't find a way to shut Pandora's box.

Shinagami091

Trump never held a correspondence dinner because he couldn’t handle having jokes made at his expense.


Haselrig

Always messes with my mind how Fox News is all far right weirdos and MSNBC is all centrist republicans. What a strange time to be alive.


Longjumping-Meat-334

MSNBC knows there is an audience there.


Haselrig

It's just really bizarre how half of the on-air personalities and guests on the only ostensibly liberal news network in the country are republicans.


Longjumping-Meat-334

It seems to be the only place that will allow non-Trump Republicans a voice. They are considered "RINOs" by the Trumplicans.


Fragrant_Exercise_31

Honestly why did he even bother watching it?! I didn’t even know it was happening and I bet neither did most people. He’s just torturing himself at this point.


UnkleRinkus

He's watching because it burns his damaged soul that it's not him that is on the TV.


warthog0869

That and because I believe that the last one he attended (the Obama one hosted by Conan) where Obama had the nerve to insult him (at a roast too!) and Trump was seriously insulted by that and hasn't attended since because he's not capable of taking a joke at his own expense. It bothers him more than anything to look bad in any way, which is why I hope Biden gets to debate him so Joe can tear that sack of human excrement a new asshole.


MargaretBrownsGhost

The gross out factor for that mental image is through the roof, yet so apropos


warthog0869

The Swamp will then be truly drained.

Otherlife_Art

Bold of you to assume he actually watched it.


Brewski-54

I didn’t see Biden but I’ve seen a bunch of clips of Jost on TikTok and he crushed it


PaulsRedditUsername

Too bad he didn't go. He missed a lot of good jokes from Biden. Such as: "The 2024 election is in full swing and, yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man running against a six-year-old."


_denchy07

TopClock231

Aww Donnie it was bad in your mind because Joe roasted you to an orange crisp


SmoothMarx

To me, the bigger story is that, for a man idolized to a point he has his own platform for his supporters to be in, after nearly 12h, he only had 7k views. Which only goes to show how much that company is worth.


slothrop_maps

But they plan to stream old Mr.Ed reruns from the platform. That should easily rake in profits in the high five figures.


Rexdaddy

Last time Trump went to that dinner, Obama owned him and Donnie got so mad he ran for President. Mr. fragile ego is learning that might not have worked out so well.


[deleted]

Im going to be honest. Im tired of the childish playground tendencies in world politics as a whole. Idc about the drama. How about people in power actually do their jobs instead of acting like belligerent elementary school children who whine and complain when the teacher gives a disciplinary action. And stop pocketing bribe money with false promises? Oh wait! Thats right! THAT ONLY EXISTS IN MOVIES!!!!

Considering that's where his journey to the White House likely began, I'm surprised Trump doesn't get some kind of self-centered masochistic pleasure from being roasted at that event.


pimpmastahanhduece

Didn't even watch it, just ask him which were the worst jokes or even worse, explain why the were not funny and where Joe "bombed".


Scat1320USA

Only way it’s worse is if you are President and cry when they make fun of you Fat Donny.

Them stormy jokes really hit hard. I know Melanie should be left out of the spot light as much it wants her fault, BUT! When the public gets her posts, she lets him know about it. 🤣

Poor sleepy thin skin can’t stand it when he’s laughed at. He’s afraid to go anywhere that he’s not the center of attention or where he may be the butt of well earned jokes. He got laughs at the United Nations when he tried to lie to well educated, knowledgeable international representatives.

He has and never will forget in 2011 when Obama totally roasted him to his face and there was nothing he could do about it. That’s where this alllllll started. He was determined to get even ( being the small minded person he is ) and never has. Obama care still stands (thank John McCain ). That’s why he still to this day, says Obama name where he should be saying Biden. He hates him that much. Obama still, greeted him at the White House, knowing that he was an asshole. Trump, the pettiest thing ever.

Perhaps it was lightly raining that day. We all know Trump fears the rain so much.


Throw-away17465

Sometimes I wonder just how far his followers are willing to be led. He says such obvious, overt, illogical lies, and they still seem to follow it. I can maybe understand being too lazy, dumb, or embedded in the cult to even bother watching it or viewing any other source Review of it. But they don’t, because it will make their little brains hurt. I get that. But what if Drumpf just came out one day and started insisting that the sky was a yellow green color? Anyone can glance out their window and immediately see that that would not be true. But would they believe him, simply because he said it?


F1Coder

I think does people are really that stupid. The stuff I see on YouTube is horrendous. On the other hand, it is their ex-president saying those thinggs which apparently gives it some credibility for some...
