POTUS 45.08: Suckers

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

Anyone that can make it to the end of that deserves a prize. I think I made it about 1/3 through yesterday before I ran out of gas. Reading shouldn't be that exhausting.

Im a third of the way through...oye.

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

I couldn't even make it past the first part.

I am at the part where he talks about how the Dems have an advantage in the Electoral College and how difficult it is for a Republican to win the EC. Every Civics teacher in America is dying right now.

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

I'm really glad you said this because I felt guilty; I pegged out at about 2/3. It's a combination of banality, childish narcissism, and gibberish.

I am at the part where he discusses NAFTA...I am forcing myself to read all the way through but I can feel my soul dying!

edit:

AP: But that didn't mean that you supported what Assange is doing?

TRUMP: No, I don't support or unsupport. It was just information. They shouldn't have allowed it to get out. If they had the proper defensive devices on their internet, you know, equipment, they wouldn't even allow the FBI. How about this — they get hacked, and the FBI goes to see them, and they won't let the FBI see their server. But do you understand, nobody ever writes it. Why wouldn't (former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John) Podesta and Hillary Clinton allow the FBI to see the server? They brought in another company that I hear is Ukrainian-based.

What?

edit: I love this!

(An aide talks about the president's address to Congress.)

TRUMP: A lot of the people have said that, some people said it was the single best speech ever made in that chamber.

Good lord...

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

The Beeb had a couple of French voters on today. I gather neither backed a candidate who advanced to the final. One basically said "I'm voting against Le Pen because she's awful." The other, who was farther left, said "I'm not voting at all. Le Pen is worse but I can't vote for somebody I don't agree with at all."

So this isn't just an American thing, and I don't think it's just a left thing either. There are voters who are strategic and voters who need to be in love. We're not gonna change that, so we need to concentrate on the former.

I think its more of a left thing for a simple reason. The left is always looking for some sort of socialist utopia where everybody loves each other. The right is always looking for enemies to rail against. That's why lefties are often too disappointed to vote, while righties can always find a scapegoat to vote against to put in their place.

Ah yes, this gem:

The Democrats, they have a big advantage in the electoral college. Big, big, big advantage. I've always said the popular vote would be a lot easier than the electoral college.

That makes sense, given which party won the popular vote but lost the electoral college in 2 of the last 5 elections.

I'm sure Flaggy will correct the globalist lizard-people math I'm using there.

I feel especially bad for every career staffer or those employed in Washington that have to deal with this buffoon.

I don't feel bad for any of them. They chose a career where this was possible.

One of them is my wife. She works with the office of civil rights and civil liberties facing down these do-chebags every day and trying to stop the surveillance state.

You don't have to "feel bad" for her, no. But she's fighting the good fight, right up against that detestable f-ck and his braindead minions. Put it this way: she's doing more than I or you or anybody we know will ever do to keep the lights on. I'm pretty d-mn proud of her.

"But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs." -- George Eliot, Middlemarch

Sure. Melania, Jared and Ivanka, Beavis and Butthead, probably even little Baron.

The Middlemarch quote is such a good one and something we need to hear. People like your wife are out there doing the right thing for the right reason. And there are many of them, though perhaps not many like your wife, and they do make a difference.

Leave the minors out of the conversation. If the children appeared at campaign events, and are over the age of 18, then they're open game. Otherwise, leave them the hell alone. People were right to cry foul when it was done to Chelsea, and they were right to cry foul when it was done to the Bush twins during the 2000 cycle (still in high school then). Leave the kids be.

Don't be so dammed sensitive. I mentioned his name. Does Donald Trump not have a kid named Baron?

They called Chelsea "the White House dog" among other things. Did I even come close to that with he whose name shall not be mentioned? No. Quit being such a snowflake.

Yes, I'm a snowflake.

I just don't think it's wise to mention underage children in anything happening in regards to what his/her parents do because the kid has no choice in how close it gets to the process. Maybe Baron did tell Daddy Dearest his speech was the greatest ever, but it's not like there's much else he could say on the matter. Lumping the kid in with the others you did in that short list, it's clearly not meant as a complement to the child.

My grandmother's early stage dementia was more coherent than that. She didn't have access to nuclear weapons, though.

I didn't even know that he was doing an interview, and quite frankly, I am glad I missed it.

Anyone asking SCROTUS to give an interview longer than 5-10 minutes, is just asking for "a total disastuh".

I'm glad someone is doing it. It's not a job I envy, and I say that as a guy who increasingly has to tell clients, "I'm sure we have a previous client use case that I can reference to make recommendations".

Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

kind of sad he is still falling for that false equivalency crap.

Clinton would have been a fine president. Certainly orders of magnitude better than that orange sack of **** we have now.

I never have said Hill would be worse than Trump. Ever. Trump is horrible. So please, stop putting words in my mouth. I think she would have been bad. Period. That's it. That is where it ends.
