The “beautiful, soft towels” part must have been in response to comments to the effect that hurling projectiles at disaster victims was a somewhat un-Presidential thing to do. But, it’s okay! The projectiles were both beautiful, and soft! ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > …I wonder what percentage of republicans agree… Bunches, but what can they do? We warned them about this shit, in these very pages, years ago. Yeah, we said, you can keep bullshitting the Troglodyte Right. Keep telling them just one more election, and we’ll give you everything you want. But sooner or later, the bill will come due. And it has. If they ditch the nutbar vote, they will lose. You know it, they know it. They can hold their own in a fair fight, but just barely, even with their help. And some genteel cheating, here and there. But without it? If they decide to be the honest conservative party, they will have to rebuild from there. Hell, I would totally respect that! Wouldn’t change what I think about their views, but sure as shit would change what I think about them as Americans. Won’t do us that much good either, 'cause sure as hell, every ruthlessly ambitious sumbitch will lie about his progressive views rather than lying about how conservative and “family” he is. Reptiles will flock left, rather than right. ---

When Trump was elected I was actually pleased because I hated Hillary so much. I was willing to give him chance to show what he could do. Well, he showed what he could do and it was not much and that not much not well. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I now freely admit there’s a prize idiot in the White House, a dangerous idiot. So how has he pissed me off today? His crazy tweets have pissed me off. I took some time to sit down and read a whole bunch of them, hardest reading assignment I’ve had in my life. I suddenly recognized where I’d seen this stuff before and why it seemed so familiar. It is identical in tone, writing style and lack of any intelligence to the stuff you always see in Youtube comments. I sat there stunned letting the truth sink in.\* An internet troll is the fucking President of the USA!!!\* ---

You might be the only (former) Trump supporter who has come forward on this board and admitted that Trump has not behaved the way you expected him to (to put it mildly!) when you voted for him. If I’m not recognizing other (former) Trump supporters who have made a statement like **aldiboronti** ’s, I apologize, and by all means, correct me. ---

I hope you take this as a chance to examine some other beliefs you have, particularly ones based on partisanship or dislike of the outgroup. Also, yeah, I wish you had figured this out sooner, but better to be wrong before and better now than still be wrong. Y’gotta give a person a way to come back to rationality for them to take it. ---

I don’t know what to say when people express Trumpgret. I mean, I’m glad they are finally starting to see reason. But I am frustrated that they weren’t able to see reason _when it counted the most._ I suppose after-the-fact rationality is better than nothing. But dammit to hell, people. You drove us into this ditch, so I hope you’re doing something to get us out of it. Feeling bad just isn’t enough. ---

I’m torn between **ThelmaLou** ’s and **Monty** ’s responses and which I prefer. On the one hand I want to go all “Prodigal Son” on **aldiboronti** and welcome him into the fold, but on the other hand I have to wonder why it took so goddamn long to notice something that has been blindingly obvious to most of us for years. Trump’s moral and intellectual failings _even compared to Clinton’s_ are neither subtle nor obscure, nor have they ever been. ---

Let’s not beat up on **aldi**. Trump was so masterful at concealing his true nature for so long, how could we have possibly known what we were getting? If only there had been some sign… anything! But the man was a black box. Ah, well. No use crying over radioactive milk. ---
