You think the short-fingered vulgarian is going to pay attention to what that weakling Paul Ryan has to say, just because he found a berth at Fox? He HATES Ryan.
Hell, everybody hates Ryan, for their own reasons. Not the swiftest move on the part of Fox management.
Oh! I think it’s obvious to anyone who looks at Trump objectively.
I was shaking my head at these FB friends who can’t see that Trump has been a narcissistic conman his whole life who’s been showing signs of dementia, in addition to his lifelong anti-intellectual curiosity.
They were telling me how Trump is going to rescue the country from the scourge of liberals (who, by definition, are the ones who suffer for mental illness) and Make America Great Again! How he’s going to be the smartest, most honest, and most effective president the country has ever seen. And, how he just saved the country already from the horror of Crooked Hillary.
Apparently, their understanding of Trump came from watching The Apprentice, Fox News, and Breitbart, with some InfoWars thrown in for good measure.
The Trumpniks I know (there are only a couple, and they’re well-educated) see clearly that he is a demented, immoral, criminal piece of scum, but they don’t care. All they care about is the right-wing agenda that he is facilitating (he’s too stupid to be consciously implementing it). Supreme Court, conservative judges, weakening gummint. And they hate Hillary with the fury of a thousand suns. If a few brown/black-skinned people get their asses kicked because of thump, that’s just a bonus.
That’s my experience, also, with the exception of most of the Trumpsters I know generally have high school diplomas. Some are intelligent and are just politically conservative, but some are the dumbest people I’ve ever known and that opinion dates back to high school and earlier, so it doesn’t surprise me they fell for Trump’s con job. He was going to fix everything that was disappointing in their lives.
But, yeah, they all seem to hate “Killary”, and some don’t really care for non-whites and some actively hate the “Mooslims” (which, of course, is just one more reason to hate Obama).
German political leaders are not happy with the US Ambassador to Germany. The vice president of the Free Democratic Party (and speaker of the Bundestag) said, “If a U.S. diplomat acts like a high commissioner of an occupying power, he will have to learn that our tolerance has its limits.” He also called for the foreign minister to declare the ambassador persona non grata. The parliamentary manager of the Social Democrats Party, said Grenell is a “total diplomatic failure” who was acting like a “brat.” ‘Complete diplomatic failure’: German politicians call for expulsion of Trump's ‘bratty’ ambassador - Alternet.org?
Twitter automatically blocked Individual 1’s social media director because their automatic filtering thought he was a bot. They unblocked him and apologized, but now Individual 1 says he’s going to “look into” it. Uh, so, a private entity is not allowed to control its own access?
Because he’s got so much free time (excuse me, ‘Executive Time’) left over after gettin’ all that Presidentin’ stuff done. Although I should actually count it as a plus that he’s not trying to do more to enact policies.
Companies should be free of overbearing and burdensome government regulations, except when those companies hurt Republicans, at which point government regulations are the only thing that will keep America free!
