Obama makes an ass of himself by throwing a hissy fit. We have one unnamed witness on the internets and no other folks coming forward. Must not have been one of those real publicky public places where people go.

Meanwhile, I flip on NBC or ABC or CBS or CNN or even Fox News, and there's President Trump, live on the White House lawn. Throwing a hissy fit and rambling incoherently about how he will prove debunked internet conspiracy theories. I'll tune in later.

Oh, look! There's President Trump on live TV inside the White House with the president of Finland. Trump is throwing a hissy fit and rambling incoherently.

Man! I sure am glad we don't have someone like Obama in the White House anymore. That guy was way too prone to flying off the handle.

I’ll bet the Venn Diagram of older folks who used to pick up the National Enquirer and Star in the supermarket before they became housebound and the readership of this rightwing tripe is a perfect circle.

Heck, if you can just plagiarize your way to big clickbucks I'm gonna start my own gramps site:

COP-HATING WOMAN KILLS WITH FROZEN LEG OF LAMB THEN SERVES IT TO POLICE!

DEMOCRAT LURES MAN WITH PROMISE OF WINE AND BURIES HIM ALIVE!

UPPER WEST SIDE LIBERAL GIVES BIRTH TO DEVIL SPAWN!

There's a wealth of material out there.

"whenever they have a stateside story about Young Punks Who Think They’re Above The Law, they lean on the vengeance angle"

Don't forget that America, even discounting Trump, is an increasingly punitive society. We seem to love punishing The Other these days, for whatever sick reason.
