Makes me think of Muhammed Ali’s famous, “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Or as Niles Crane rephrased it, “Float like a lepidoptera, sting like a hymenoptera.”
This, this, and more this.
Cosigned.
It’s also important to remember that he is not a disciplined, on-message spinner like Kellyanne. He still has a craving that way predates his political candidate years to go on TV and play the “savvy pundit” role. So if he thinks she has a strong control over her party, even if he wishes otherwise, he has the impulse to show that he knows what’s up.
Tom Steyer’s new impeachment ad that will run on ‘Fox & Friends’ in D.C.
I think it’s a good idea, although I don’t think it’s a particularly compelling ad. I think the ad would be better just showing video clips, with a voiceover when needed, rather than mainly showing Tom Steyer sitting in a chair talking.
I think its a variation of Rubio’s “Let’s dispel this fiction once and for all that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.” He’s trying to tar Pelosi and the mainstream Democrats to their more radical elements.
This implies that Trump has guile. Trump is guileless. And too stupid to know the meaning of the word. He has two modes of operation. Either he instinctively & pathologically lies, or, he projects his own unfiltered fears & deep character flaws.
Pretty much this. He’s as deep as a paper plate. There’s no *there *there.
Even if we bought into Trump’s guile, Pelosi’s not going to throw him a life preserver. The House is going to continue methodically doing its work - she will see to that. And that will drive Trump insane, and he will do something radical to feed raw meat to his base.
In a couple years, we may look back at this time as the calm before the mass-shootings storm. :eek:
I’m starting to reconsider my opinion from a month ago. In the three months since the Mueller report, the Democrats have managed to get no fact witnesses to testify, and have enforced no subpoenas. If there is a strategy here, I’m at a loss for what the hell it is.
I wish people would stop saying things like this. Underestimate your adversary at your own peril. Trump seems to be a narcissist, a bully, an authoritarian, a vulgarian. He is indecisive, a waffler, highly reactive and thin-skinned and no, I don’t think he is a deep thinker or particularly well-educated on…well…most things.
But Trump is also con-man and a swindler of a businessman and you don’t succeed at those things unless you have some guile. If he lacks anything, it is probably not that. Native cleverness, animal cunning, the ability to read a room - whatever you want to call it, Trump has that. He is also not an idiot. Brilliant? Hardly. A drooling moron? Not that, either. He’s probably of average or a bit above average intelligence, with many, many blind spots but also some native ability as above.
Well, he’s proven one thing. He’s above average in intelligence when compared to his supporters.
Yes. More things that are planned. Add it to the pile.
I think we could eventually get there, but I want to see more public support for an impeachment before starting the proceedings. What I don’t want is for him and his supporters to say that the economy was fine until we started impeachment. I mean they’ll say that anyway, but I don’t want him to be able to even remotely make that case to independent voters.
Just look at this wonderful picture. I think the boxing gloves on the dresser are a nice inclusion.
(Pelosi/Ocasio-Cortez meeting)
“With a month of victories, Pelosi shows who holds the reins in a fractious House”
WTG, Nancy! Unity, or at least a show of unity, among Dems is critical right now.
Nice!
It’s that time again! Time to notch another victory for Nancy Pelosi over the Dipshitticus Majoris president.
Look at Pelosi, standing, towering over Trump, wagging her finger at him as though he were a petulant adolescent. It’s almost as if you could write the caption “Widdle Donny, I’m grounding you until your grades improve.”
Note how people to Trump’s right have their heads down – ashamed, no doubt.
They have no shame.
I’d forgotten about this thread! You go, Nancy! Making this the background of her Twitter and Facebook homepages-- pure genius!
That photograph of Pelosi and Trump is a work of art. Some say it’s a masterpiece.
