      Everyone has a daily allotment of fucks to give however they choose.

      It’s a resource like any other, and understanding that is the key to fighting the gish gallop method trump prefers.

      Taking a few seconds to go off on how fat he is even with Ozempic is worthwhile, because trump fucking hates people talking about it. And since zero people can hold him accountable till at least midterms, there’s no reason not to piss him off now. Because he can only focus on 2-3 things at a time max.

      People talking about how he’s a pathetic sack of fat is one of the few things that he actually gives a fuck about. So talk about it and stress him out.

      Same with the reflecting pool, if he wasn’t focused on that, he’d be doing some truly awful shit.

      So keep him focused on shit that doesn’t matter.

      Just throw “tan suit and grey poupon” level shit at him all day so he spends all his time and energy responding to that stuff.

        The trouble is that sometimes hard to know which is what we should focus on and what is just a distraction. This is of course on purpose.

          For some people doing long division in their head is impossible task.

          If you don’t feel you can lead, don’t be afraid to follow.

          But try to pay attention to what people are priotizing, especially when they take the time to explain why

        I’ve no more fucks to give.

        My fuck fuse has just blown.

        I’ve looked around for my fucks all day but they’ve up and fucked off home.

        I’ve no more fucks to give.

        My fuck rations are depleted.

        I’ve rallied my fuck army, but it’s been fucking defeated.

          The effort has just not been worth the time or the expense
          I’ve exhausted all my energy, for minimal recompense
          The distinct lack of acknowledgement has now begun to gall
          And I’ve come to realize that I don’t give a fuck at all

        Frankly, I wish the conversation would focus on the Epstein files. Obviously they don’t exist in a vacuum, this administration does too many awful things on a daily basis to never examine them, but if there is one thing we could do to induce cardiac stress, it would be to hammer him with being a pedophile. Every. Single. Day.

        The reflecting pool is emblematic of his failures. As is the Iran war. These are all things he can and does blame on others and attack them for. Being a disgusting child abuser is the one thing he fucking owns. I wish he wouldn’t experience a single day for the rest of his life without someone questioning that to his face.

          I think the difference is that his issue with the child-fucker accusations is the bad press, not that he considers it a failing. Iran and the pool are objectively something that visibly went wrong. He doesn’t want people to give him shit about his involvement with Epstein, but he doesn’t even want people to acknowledge the other two being failures.
