my teeth were smashed out in a transphobic hate crime a while ago and i’m trying desperately to get them fixed in whatever way i can, and now that youcaring is gone i need to find a new route. i was able to get one piece completed but the rest of the damage is severe enough that we’re having to figure out temporary means to prevent my jaw from forcing itself out of the socket with chewing and biting motions, and even speaking has been painful this last week. i’m going to get a new fund thing set up as soon as i can go through the lot and see the fees and stuff, but in the meanwhile i’m hurting bad and might have to make another emergency visit very very soon. the one bright spot right now is that i have a job interview for a spot that i’m really qualified and experienced at tomorrow, so fingers crossed that i can possibly get insurance that will help me soon, but i still need to figure out what i can do right now. if you can contribute anything, i’m at paypal.me/awesomandias, or manicpixietransgrrrl@gmail.com, and every little bit adds up. thank you all so so fucking much for sharing this or donating, i appreciate it from the bottom of my lil black heart ❤
still haven’t got a new official fund for this set up and i’ve got a job now but it’s still just not enough for what i need done without some outside help, so i’m sending this around again. with my insurance they’re really only willing to cover extractions right now which will just not help at all with not having enough teeth to eat with, so i’m kinda stuck. any little bit adds up and helps me get closer to being a human again 🖤
I’m sick of temporal plans. I don’t want to hang out next Wednesday, let’s chill after the next thunderstorm. Meet me when it’s 75 degrees. Time isn’t real.
I just read an interesting story about the way Trump likes to golf. At first, I thought it was an inconsequential puff piece, but it turned out quite revealing. Trump loves golf. He plays it constantly. Even when he probably shouldn’t. Many of his golf buddies have been interviewed about his skills on the course and they all had basically the same thing to say.
He cheats.
Not a little bit.
He cheats A LOT.
It starts with the initial drive. He will often take several mulligans until scoring his first stroke. Meaning he keeps hitting the ball until he is satisfied with where it lands. However, if he does hit it into the woods, the ball will somehow magically appear back on the fairway by the time he reaches it. Due to his caddie rooting around in the tall grass and tossing the ball back to civilization.
Then Trump gets into his cart and since the rules don’t apply to him, he drives it straight onto the carefully manicured green. No one is supposed to drive on this delicate grass. There is video of Trump doing this. And he drives with gusto too. I was surprised he didn’t do a few donuts.
And to finish the hole off, Trump never actually takes his final putt. He calls this a “gimmie.” If the ball is close to the hole, that’s good enough for him. I guess he just assumes he would have hit the ball in.
Some of the people who have golfed with Trump say he often brags about winning championships and setting course records. After seeing him play, all of these people say that is most likely bullshit.
Pretty much everything about Trump’s golfing experience is a lie. Not only that, he doesn’t even try to be sneaky about it. He cheats in plain sight for everyone to see. It’s like a card hustler pointing to the cards hidden in his sleeves before a hand. I’m not even sure why he plays. I mean, technically he doesn’t really play. He just goes through the motions to make it seem like he is playing. The whole point of sport is to challenge yourself. That’s what makes it fun. I don’t understand what Trump gets out of the experience.
I remember back when the original Doom came out for the PC. I loved that game and played it nonstop for weeks. One day I found cheat codes on the internet and at first it was very exciting. I had unlimited ammo and turned on God Mode. Nothing could touch me. Initially, it was kind of awesome. I was plowing through demons like they were paper people. I was getting to levels I couldn’t reach before. But that excitement quickly faded as I played. I discovered that I was getting very, very bored. Overcoming the odds, fear of dying, progressing through the game using my skills, reflexes, and wits… that’s what made the game fun. These cheat codes had turned this once exciting game into a total yawnfest. After years and years of playing in God Mode, how is Trump not totally bored with golf?
I guess this article struck a chord with me because it showed that Trump doesn’t even take the things he claims to love seriously. Even in a game where the outcome means basically nothing, he cannot stand to do poorly. He must lie to himself and others while playing. Nothing is more important than maintaining his ego. It seems like there is nothing too small that he will not lie about. There is nothing so inconsequential that he will not try to cheat. In every aspect of his life, that’s who he is. A liar and a cheater. Nothing is sacred.
And it just makes me think, if he is willing to lie about pointless golf outings… if he is willing to perform these lies blatantly in front of others with absolutely no shame… what items of actual importance is he willing to lie and cheat about?
I don’t think I have ever witnessed anyone as hollow, needy, and pathetic as Trump. Someone so empty of anything save a clawing, desperate need not merely for validation, but veneration… and even the thinnest, most ethereal kind will do.
See, Trump isn’t using golf as a game. He’s using it as a system to test participants in his circle.
First up, he’s brazen. So brazen, people call their own world view into doubt before being willing to accept how brazen, blatant and obvious the cheating was, to the point, some will refuse to process that it happened.
This is the first buy in for the con. He can test if you’re willing to exert consequences for his actions, or willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. If you were to inform Trump that you’ll not be having this bullshit from an biped Cheezles packet, you’ll find yourself in a circumstance of either being escorted from the scene, or having those people who have bought into the previous bullshit make an excuse for the Orange-a-Tan.
Alternatively, he may offer you some deal or reward, to buy into the bullshit, or threaten you to comply.
That’s phase 2.
Once you’ve drunk the Tang, being waterboarded by the Kool-Aid or pocketed the benefit,, you’re going to have to either live with consistency to avoid cognitive dissonance, or you have to face being complicit when you try to break rank.
And then we get to round 3 – Trump has consistently worked to create circumstances where there is no consequence for his actions that cannot be mitigated by lies, fraud, or other means. He’s not playing a round of golf, he’s working out and training his primary core system – brazen bullshit buy-in, and every one of his recurring golfing buddies are recurring enablers of this bullshit because they value what they think they can gain over forcing consequences, even tiny little consequences like golf scores. So when they let Trump slide that little thing, and then another little thing, he’s setting them into the patterns needed to accept bigger and bigger things until they’re either full invested in backing their man, or they’re in so deep, they’ll have to face themselves if they try to back out.
Which is why he does what he does – the benefits to Trump outweigh any consequences, because very few people have ever made the man experience a negative repercussion for his actions. It’s economic rationalism cost-benefit calculation take to a moral free logical conclusion – does this benefit me? Yes, then do it.
What stephendann said. And, trump uses this same game in any circumstances.
