Agreed. I began a hectic day with coffee and elucidator’s commentary, and it was a fantastic start. Absolutely nailed it in every way.
Trump has begun to stumble, for sure. I can’t listen to his invective, but I caught a few scenes from his act with the sound on mute. Almost immediately noticed the crowd’s hearts didn’t seem quite in it.
You are blowing Rajoy’s instinctive reaction, which matched the instinctive reactions of millions of Spaniards, to think it had been ETA because horses not zebras, up into “grossly tossing hate in contradictory directions”. Please don’t do that.
It is true though that Zapatero became president on the corpses of 212 dead. On that, I agree (he doesn’t though: his party only counts 211 because one was aged minus a few days).
When you’re campaigning for office, you can always work up the audience with tales of the awesome things that you’re going to do once you “vote those bums out.”. But once you’ve voted them out and you’re in power… the tales of the awesome things that you’re going to do …any day now… fall flat… because why don’t you shut up and do them. Like you said you would when you won.
He thinks the country needs him. He thinks that he’s responsible for the last eight years of steady economic growth. (Insert laughing smiley number two) It’s like every night, after changing his diaper, Melania coos “Yes, yes, darling. Economy very big. Economy very good. All because of you.”
It’s time for a complete psych eval. This motherfucker is nuts.
Yeah, it could be a threat. But I’m not sure what he could do short term. Any ideas?
Anyway, it’s a bigger threat to leave him in office. Oh, he may be the lamest of the lamest ducks. But readily, enthusiastically even, electing crooked morons to the Oval Office should not be tolerated.
I recognize all of the individual words in this post, but not in this order.
Near as I can tell people thought there was one estimated time of arrival because horses are punctual and zerbras are not, and that 212 people died but one didn’t count because he was a few days from being aged?
Right, Pence may be a hateful religious zealot, owned by the corporatocracy and the gun lobby, but he’s a *stable *one, and he’d be contained. The world and the country would definitely be safer with him as President, as wretched a situation as it would be for as long as it lasts.
It’s an old adage that I’m fairly certain is used in medical community. When you hear hoof beats, you think of horses not zebras. Ie, when presented with a symptom, you’re going to assume it’s the most obvious thing first and not something ‘exotic’ or unusual.
You’re probably getting confused by her reference to ETA. In this context it has nothing to do with timetables. ETA is the name of a Basque separatist movement.
I believe the 211/212 casualties dichotomy refers to the fact that one of the victims was a pregnant woman only days away from giving birth. Do you count her unborn child as a victim or not?
