He’s managed to take simple boiler-plate commemorative occasions, like Holocaust Remembrance Day and Black History Month and make a complete hash out of it. I hope somebody in the West Wing is going on a rant right now, to the effect of “never let that nincompoop loose without a teleprompter.”

It reads like a 10-year-old who has to give a class talk but didn’t do the reading assignment.

Aye; that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. They want to destroy it so it can be rebuilt the way they want it to be. Is that not as obvious as I thought?

Pretty sure the plan is to rip everything down and then blame the Democrats for letting them do it. Party of personal responsibility and all.

He wouldn’t use the damn thing. Can he even read? I’ve read/heard rumors that he is functionally illiterate, and bought his way through school with daddy’s money.

Besides, a script might deny him the chance to insult someone.

Bannon is on record as saying he wants to destroy it all. And now he is president in all but name. He is the one calling the shots, not the Big Orange Retard.

Doesn’t even wonder that there might have been a reason to not have done the raid.

And where did he pull the “pocket veto” crap from? Does he know nothing about how the government work?

Maybe that’s why he wants to meet with Kim Jeong-eun: to commiserate over holding the highest office in the land but not being in charge.

Trump’s a birther so I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if he believes Obama is Muslim and that’s why Obama didn’t take action against “other Muslims”.

He’s heard the term. Yes, he knows nothing about the government.

“Hey isn’t that Frederick Douglass?”

Now, now, just because, by the end of next week, we apparently are going to be at war with Iran, Australia and Mexico, that doesn’t mean we’re doomed. Hell, there’s a whole shitload of nuclear-armed countries out there. Give the man a couple months to stir up that particular hornet’s nest, then get back to me.

I’m just glad Australia doesn’t have nukes. I’ve already apologized to **Noel Prosequi** for the call.
