    ‘There is obviously no way that any one would have ever taken it setiously’ is exactly how we came into the shitstorm that is the trump administration. Twice. The public needs to hold politicians to their word, no matter how absurd. If they can’t be serious when addressing their base, how serious can we expect them to be when dealing with allies and adversaries?

    ‘Bro, your wife is so hot I dream of sleeping with her all the time’

    ‘Hitler wasn’t so bad, he was acting in the interest of the country’

    When does it end? Both those statements deserve a swift punch in the face.

      No one is rejecting the seriousness of whats going on. If you dont get that, then spend more time developing context for the comments you are responding to.
