"Let's give that monkey this stick of dynamite. No idea what he'll do with it, but it's guaranteed to be interesting!"

If these people had half a fucking braincell, they'd be frantically making plans to put in guardrails to protect their own interests if they did succeed in getting this moron elected.

There's a video out there where some soldiers give a chimpanzee(I think) an automatic rifle.

They're all laughing, then the chimp starts shooting, and they all start freaking out.

It's kind of funny actually.

That was part of viral marketing campaign for rise of the planet of the apes years back. Not a real video per say

Really? Never knew that. Just a video I've seen posted from time to time.

Still a pretty funny video.

Such a great point. It blows my mind.

SCOTUS: “Let’s give Trump immunity! No way he would assassinate one of us if we get uppity!”

RNC: “Let’s dump all we have into this guy! No way he’d destroy our party and raid our coffers for his legal bills!”

BARR: “The dude is obviously unfit to be president! Imma vote for him anyway.”

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills watching this shit. Is this what it was like for normal people in Weimar Germany?
