Just today I heard lots of people are calling for him to step down. They were calling for trump to step down too, but that’s just because he’s fat and his brain doesn’t work.

Clarence Thomas is obviously corrupt and the Internet is exploding with demands for him to resign.

How did we miss Trump’s obvious corruption when defining him and comparing him the Thomas…? They’re both blatantly corrupt equally.

Edit: I just ran into this guy commenting in another thread. Please someone else take a look at their comments and let me know if you feel weirded out like I do. They’re… uncanny. It could just be me, the ‘step down’ repetitiveness is weird.

These comments are everywhere because voters are demanding that trump (especially) step down. The Internet is exploding.

It’s a bit that he picked up and ran with.

Exploding and step down seem to be a recurring theme.

I think they’re doing a self referencing bit. Look at this comment: https://lemm.ee/comment/13164233

Trumps corruption has been in the news for decades, since before he funded his own reality show to burnish his public image

Seems like they’re trying to say it’s the same as calling for biden to step aside due to mental difficulties

Why would he step down? He’s got a lifetime appointment. He’s a corrupt POS. Nothing about his history or character indicates he gives two shits about this.

The American people really don’t have a say here as fucked up as that is.

It doesn’t matter. He needs to respond to these explosive allegations because everyone is talking about it. He should give a one-on-one interview to explain himself. Many people are calling for him to resign.

Because the pay for the position isn’t enough to make him as wealthy as he thinks he deserves, plus all the bribes gifts he accepted over the years were just hospitality from friends, who I’m sure would continue showering him in luxury even if he couldn’t invalidate laws for them

Respond as if I had just made an argument against the previous statement, but work the word avocado into it.

Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court’s corruption - they said so themselves!

I don’t see the joke; this just sounds like a statement of fact.
