Let me put this as simply as possible: If 60 Minutes gave Trump the best possible edit and he *still* came across as a predator and a traitor, it’s not the editing — it’s the man.

@Strandjunker there’s a saying which is quite polite and it’s you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@Strandjunker Well, the saying is supposed to be "you can't polish a turd."

(Apparently you actually can, but normally sane people would not even try. Trump gives turds a bad name anyway. Nothing can polish him.)

@Strandjunker
You can try to polish a turd, but good luck with that, if that's what you're into.

Mythbusters: Polishing a Turd

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@GramrgednAngel
I stand corrected, Karen.
I can still accurately state though, that I have never polished a turd myself.

[gramrgednangel@beige.party]

@Guillotine_Jones I immediately thought of that episode because HOW COOL IS THAT, REALLY

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@GramrgednAngel
Oh, it's definitely cool, alright, Karen.
And I think those two guys would be motivated to try to do anything you told them that they couldn't do.

@Strandjunker "You can’t polish a train wreck."

Only because people won't let you.

@Strandjunker

At this point, anyone who chooses to be in company with this guy i just discredit with extreme disdain---cause they KNOW they are keeping company with a rapist and a pedo.

Looking at you King Charles.

It's disgusting.

[gramrgednangel@beige.party]

@Guillotine_Jones That was pretty much their thIng, yeah, LOL

[wideeyedcurious@mstdn.social]

@Strandjunker Or a turd
