I prefer dunks on actual people who say actual things, but sure, we can dunk on imaginary people saying imaginary things too.
Tell that to the current POTUS. He imagines a lot about not only people but countries and what he imagines the people in those countries say and do.
I will refrain from any comments or observations the POTUS has made recently about groups of people and their real and imagined affiliations of a US domestic nature.
You are most welcome to let your imagination run wild with what I wrote above.
The obvious difference between my flight of fancy and those of The Greatest Living Human and his followers is that I acknowledged that it was a flight of fancy.
Maybe if I'd stated that it was an Alternative Fact it would be more acceptable.
Possibly probable.

How about 'Pervert' when referring to homosexuals?
Homosexuals are indeed perverts.
Just trying to start a fight.

Makes you wonder why he’s hanging around a college campus at his age.
Same reason I would, but they gotta be 18+
There’s a story that has long floated around Hollywood.
Early in his career a director wanted him to do a scene in which his character was rejected by a girl he was interested in. Redford had have it explained to him what that was like.
It would be a variation on the theme of foreign agents setting up fake chapters of BLM or Antifa during the Floyd riots. American culture is trivially easy to troll in that manner. But they can't caricature the attitudes on those fake pages to an extent that doesn't exist in reality.
It is just a matter of time till well organized people do assassinations and get away with it. After that, they're free to troll by remaining anonymous, or by taking credit with well-chosen words and alleged affiliations and beliefs. Anything would work.

Not wrong! This is just the QQQ (basically tracks the top 100 nasdaq non-financial companies, I think?) vs the S&P.
It’s a good investment except when it isn’t. I very much remember its flat decade. That happened during my high earning / investing years.
The comparison is not inaccurate:
United States President Donald Trump’s latest wheeze for imposing further sanctions on Russia comes with a jaw-dropping catch: NATO must first impose tariffs of 50% to 100% on China.
On the surface, it sounds like a bold move that takes on two adversaries in one stroke. But scratch it, and what you find is less Winston Churchill and more Baldrick from the farcical BBC sitcom Blackadder — a “cunning plan” so hopelessly self-defeating that only its author could think it brilliant.

Apparently he apologized today.
I'm sure Jesus would be good with that. Those guys will forgive anything if you're sorry afterwards. It's part of what makes being a Christian so great.
In theory, Jesus knows if someone is being disingenuous.
Just finished a Taiwan series called "Light the Night". Quite good, I thought. Life, love, drama, and murder in a Taiwan hostess bar in the late 1980's Taipei city. Good acting and very atmospheric.
