Politics The Trump Crazy Train!

Herp de derp

These Silicon Valley types are kind of scary. Because they’re intellectually in a completely different world than Trump.

As long as they keep feeding him money he’ll be their puppet.

I like how trump says “that’s great” as if just learning about this.

It’s hard to measure dementia in Trump because it renders you emotionally 9 year old, and that would be an improvement in him.

Nike was founded at a time when Oregon had back to back Republican governors, and subsequent ones before and after that. Hardly a “Dem state” in the hardline sense it has been in modern times, when you guys decided to let the inmates run the asylum and, coincidentally, Nike has begun to slip in this era along with other businesses.

And Nike grew most (by far) under Democrats... It was a small podunk company under Republicans.

It didn't grow because of Democrats. But Democrats certainly didn't hurt it. And it certainly didn't grow because of Republicans, either.

Nike grew by positioning themselves as Pro Gear for the Rest Of Us, a scrappy, inclusive “if you have a body you’re an athlete” message, and something approaching a stance on social equality. The new CEO doesn’t believe in any of that, and got caught trying to freeze out wholesale partners to get a bigger piece of the pie by selling direct to customers, not caring (until it was too late) that customers stop buying Nike if they can’t find it at the stores they shop. Hubris and greed.

If you’re gonna borrow my catchphrases the least you could do is not aim them at me.

Pretty sure that's from Trey Parker and Matt Stone in BASEketball, then used in South Park thereafter.

I obviously didn’t invent the phrase.

to be fair, searching that specific phrase ("herp de derp") in this forum, I found 3 posts by @julius, and none from you (except this most recent reply of yours to him). "Derp" by itself has many repeat users.

I searched too, lol. Found a herp derp from @DaLincolnJones from 2013.

Just reviewing the etymology of it. It's tough to claim it if you didn't invent it, though...

I think it's only fair that @jonnyboy posts his Venmo info and we pay 2 cents everytime we use it.

I’ve admittedly been a “Derp”er for close to 2 decades.

South Park was gold to me in my late teens/early 20’s

I'm going to give credit to the place I first saw it.

I found 7 instances of derp on my behalf when searching.

I digress though, @julius has quite the compilation of derps upon searching. Got me beat handily.

Some people are just naturally predisposed to derpitude.

So which one of you guys is Herp and which of you is Derp?

Nobody's going to admit to being the herp.

I'll give you props for calling it if it happens, but I'd be floored if it actually did. Nothing Trump has ever said or done suggests that he has the humility or self-awareness necessary to do such a thing.

There's no way.

it won’t be his decision

Interesting. Who would make that decision for him?

 

[crandc]

Agree

 

[jonnyboy]

I was thinking he’d drop Vance if anything. He should.

C.o.M.A. would be very upset.

Not familiar with that acronym…and I can’t think of anything clever right now it was a long work day.
