Make Adderall Grinding Acceptable?

“Donald Trump abused Adderall on the set & it made him crazy. He even snorted Adderall. Mark Burnett knew it. It’s scary,” he wrote in a tweet, accusing The Apprentice creator of knowing that the show’s star abused the drug meant to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

[...]

….allegations made by stand-up comedian Noel Casler, who claimed he worked on The Celebrity Apprentice for six years.

During a set earlier this month, Casler claimed that the president snorted crushed-up Adderall and called the commander-in-chief a “speed freak.” He also alleged that the president would also invite teen beauty pageant participants up to his room.

I worked on a bunch of those beauty pageants he had in the nineties too. That was a good idea, Miss Teen Universe? Yeah, that’s like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show. He would line up the girls on the side of the stage, and he would inspect them literally, he would stick his little freaking doll fingers in their mouth and look at their teeth. I’m not kidding, this is true, he would line them up like they were pieces of meat. He’d be like, “You, you, and you, if you want to win I’m in the penthouse suite, come and see me.” Yep. If Trump had a cooking show they’d caught the douchebag diet. McDonald’s, chocolate ice cream, and girls that look like Ivanka are all he ever eats.

I'm not going to assume it's true without corroboration, but... sadly, it's not far-fetched at all, given more verified parts of Trump's past.

I agree this might not be true, especially the Teen abuse story. I think that would have come out by now were it true.

But re the drugs, he has looked like he was on something more than once with that sniffing and slurring his words. It just wasn't clear what he was on.

There's actually very little about this part that hasn't been alleged before. And worse.

And all that's sorta a tip of the iceberg, for that matter. Hence, the not far-fetched at all assessment. I quite acknowledge that I"m pointedly being a bit cautious, regardless, though, in my preference for further corroboration on these new details.

Valid point...

Pelosi, relaying a message she received from a kitchen worker where she recently attended a human rights event: “This is a newcomer to America in the back of the hotel restaurant, saying, ‘When the president says the Mueller investigation is going on too long, just tell him not as long as your tax audit, Mr. President,’”
“The wisdom from the kitchen of the Willard Hotel.”

Link, not that you need it.
 
When you combine this extreme degree of corruption with a degree of sloppiness that puts a sloppy joe to shame, the great unraveling of 2018 was inevitable.

When Andrew Nutbag Napolitano explains to the effervescent Fox and Friends crew that no, their Trump excuses are bs, a corner has been turned.

And here's the other thing... walls don't work. The Great Wall of China didn't keep the Huns out, the Berlin Wall didn't stop literally thousands of defections,

Let us hit the "I believe button" here. There is a bunch of bad people heading our way from the South. There isn't but let's say there is.

A wall's not gonna stop them. So still don't build the wall.

Argue for more money for border control. Step up patrols and training. At least that would be pointless but make sense within its own pointlessness.

The wall was never intended to be practical. It is supposed to serve a purpose much like the Confederate statues. It is intended to be a giant symbol to non white people that they don't really belong here.

Two Trump-supporting relatives stopped by in one day. My aunt was claiming that a game show disrespected Trump with one of its questions. You'd think "Family Feud" would be a safe topic. Anyway, I told my aunt I had no respect for Trump but that after all, he is the president. Then she said, "He can't be any worse than Obama."

I was genuinely flummoxed. Turns out Obama refused to return soldiers' salutes and told foreigners that the American people were too weak-minded to govern themselves. I started to explain the whole saluting history, and how Trump disrespected John McCain and veterans' families. But then I deliberately cut myself short. I just said a) the way Trump talks about women is disgusting and b) he cozies up to the worst dictators in the world and c) I can now get health insurance because I can't be turned down for a pre-existing condition.

I think that last one made her think, and I was grateful we were able to have the conversation without losing our tempers (immigration was also brought up :( ; the hordes are preparing to rush the border, overwhelming U.S. security). The emotions are too raw, on both sides, for anything productive to come of it. We need some way to move forward. The status quo is a drag.

Earlier my brother came over (with breakfast :)) and said something about the wall, and stopping the flow of drugs. I mentioned that most drugs come through ports of entry and his answer was, "Yeah, but still!" Maybe just having a few facts at hand, calmly delivered, will help to offset knee-jerk responses, mine included.

I'm wondering if it could even be a good sign that supporters are feeling defensive. Because maybe they'll realize there's no particular reason to defend Trump. Any Republican will do for their purposes; they don't have to settle. I think the staff turnover is beginning to wear down Trump's saner supporters. He can't blame that on "fake news." Trump can't find and keep good help because he's a crap boss, and people can relate to that.

You do much better than I do. When I find out someone supported Trump I just go straight to yelling at them that they are evil and a monster.

I prefer the water bottle spray approach one takes with an unruly cat. Every time they say Obama, or wall, or immigrants, or China, or, well anything really, they get a squirt in the eyes.

From what I have gathered when encountering Trump wall fanatics, it seems they really believe the wall will stop what they see as a threat. As stupid as it is to everyone else, they don't see why it's stupid.
 
In sheer disjointedness, this takes the cake even for Trump. This is from his rambling defense of Flynn:

Trump said:
The FBI said that Michael Flynn, a General and a great person, they said he didn't lie. And Mueller said well maybe he did. And now they're all having a big dispute. So I think it's a great thing that the judge is looking into that situation. It's an honor for a lot of terrific people.

WTF?

It's like the scene in The Terminator where it searches it's memory bank for the right thing to say. Except Trump's software is broken.

Trump really needs to think outside the box on this one....

From: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25524155/jose-canseco-makes-pitch-chief-staff-job-tweet-trump
Jose Canseco is ready to take a swing at politics. The former major league slugger has made his pitch for a big job at the White House, tweeting Wednesday to President Donald Trump: "u need a bash brother for Chief if (sic) Staff."

I don't think I've every wanted something this badly before...

Doesn't the VP also traditionally get sent to events that are significant enough that somebody should be there, but which the President doesn't want to attend?

"Mr. President, you've received an invitation to Lithuania's 50th Annual Turnip Festival."
"Eh. Send the VP."

Yeah, that was what I meant with decoration/status symbol.
