Define "cuck" ... then attempt to rationally apply it to any POTUS. We can do this all night, SFP.
All I'm attempting to do is sift out the CNN-inspired bullshite

I may be wrong, but my comments are not as likely as the opposite. Outlier events do happen (see; Trump, 2016).
Rationality is all about percentages and costs per percentage. Nothing is ever 100-0 other than death (and even that may be changing).

I'd imagine an attorney dismissing and ignoring the technically equal possibility in front of a jury that his position may be wrong as much as it may be right would be someone I'd happily call on to defend me.

What % of the crowd do you think that was?

I'm curious what percentage of Cult45 has Scottish ancestry.

I’m not aware of a courthouse in Louisiana with a Sonic in it, but I’m sure there’s a Popeye’s in NOLA City Court. Surely so.

Why did you respond this way?
Now I feel compelled to remember when I started watching Red Dwarf

I’m more talking about opposing counsel hitting you with “ambushing” you with something in the worst case scenario trial setting, something that you didn’t see coming even though you probably could have had you not been too overly confident and arrogant to consider otherwise. Something that ultimately loses you the decision. And I’m just speaking in generalities there, not referring to anyone specific. But it’s not at all an uncommon scenario.

I used to be a semi professional poker player who primarily played with Vietnamese people, so there's nothing that can be thrown at me that I can't imagine or conceptualize within a strategic setting. Nothing.

Because reading this board makes me feel autistic at times. I can't even pick up on subtext anymore.

Just curious, what do Vietnamese have to do with it specifically. I’m a little confused.

In middle school I found a show called Red Dwarf, which was my first real foray into comedy that wasn't your typical kid "ouch my balls" type of stuff. I was much more of an action-adventure and sports kid, anyway.
It was one of those things where the physical comedy was funny but the other stuff I knew was funny or I'd say "that was funny" and not laugh. I read 2 Red Dwarf novels even to get a fuller understanding of why it was funny. British comedy was just great for learning language and how to use it to seem bonkers while subtly being referential. It taught me a lot and basically was how I adopted being funny for a LONG time. Seinfeld really got popular around that time and had a similar referential-absurd sort of tone.
I later found out the guys who did Red Dwarf were basically ripping off Douglas Adams, once I discovered Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Lucky for me, this period was a big one for spoofs, also. You had the Naked Gun movies, the Hot Shots movies, and other movies that have been lost to time (like Loaded Weapon). Spoofs were great because you literally had a 1:1 showing you the absurdity of that type of movie. All of these were spoofing the very type of action-adventure-crime movies I watched as a kid.
Also lucky for me, SNL during this time period had some really good absurdists like Farley, Sandler, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, etc. They all kind of developed spoof characters, too.
Seeing past what was normal and why it was absurd was just perfect.
*ETA: here's a random reference, for example. Been playing Fifa 15. Started a career managing Arsenal. Cannot utilize Santi Cazorla correctly at all
