The Trump Presidency: Part 18

[WilliamSeger]

2020 is going to be a damn long year, isn't it?

I hope so. 2018-2019 went by way too quickly.

Last year before the civil war -- drink up.

When grabbing them by the pussy doesn't take him down, and crapping on POWs doesn't take him down, and colluding with Russia doesn't take him down, and praising neo nazis doesn't take him down, I'm not sure that there's even such a thing as an October surprise capable of taking him down. But seeing how sloppy he is in his dealings, maybe there's some juicy surprises already in someone's back pocket waiting for October that will put a nail in his coffin.

I hope so. I also hope that I'll get a pony for xmas.

I think there is a slim chance that President Trump will October Surprise himself by saying something he thinks is innocuous but will prove to be damning.

In addition to his December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August and September surprise(s).

“Donald Trump was framed back in 2016.” @MariaBartiromo
100% correct, Maria, and we can never let this happen to another president again!

Great writer and historian, Doug Wead, has written a true (not Fake News) account of what is going on in Washington and the White House. His new book, INSIDE TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE, is an incredible description of a very exciting and successful time in our Country’s history. Buy it!

Is he trying to get more attention to take away from the impeachment hearings?

Brazil and Argentina have been presiding over a massive devaluation of their currencies. which is not good for our farmers. Therefore, effective immediately, I will restore the Tariffs on all Steel & Aluminum that is shipped into the U.S. from those countries. The Federal....

.....Reserve should likewise act so that countries, of which there are many, no longer take advantage of our strong dollar by further devaluing their currencies. This makes it very hard for our manufactures & farmers to fairly export their goods. Lower Rates & Loosen - Fed!

U.S. Markets are up as much as 21% since the announcement of Tariffs on 3/1/2018 - and the U.S. is taking in massive amounts of money (and giving some to our farmers, who have been targeted by China)!

“The United States has outperformed the rest of the world in an eye popping fashion. I don’t think we’ve seen numbers like that.” Mohamed El-Erian, Allianz Chief Economic Adviser.
But despite this there is tremendous potential for growth, far greater than most have understood!

In other news...

TN legislator called for ridding US of higher education in order to "end a liberal breeding ground"



This is the annoyingly influential anti-education wing of the GOP, so one probably shouldn't be too surprised at the inanity, but still... it's actually something of a backhanded compliment. People who actually know what they're talking about are very, very likely to act to protect abortion rights. Therefore, he's advocating for getting rid of people who actually know what they're talking about. It's a very current Republican Party way of doing things.

Law school must not count given how many of the legislators are attorneys.

Heading to Europe to represent our Country and fight hard for the American People while the Do Nothing Democrats purposely scheduled an Impeachment Hoax hearing on the same date as NATO. Not nice!

In the 3 decades before my election, NATO spending declined by two-thirds, and only 3 other NATO members were meeting their financial obligations. Since I took office, the number of NATO allies fulfilling their obligations more than DOUBLED, and NATO spending increased by $130B!

When Lisa Page, the lover of Peter Strzok, talks about being “crushed”, and how innocent she is, ask her to read Peter’s “Insurance Policy” text, to her, just in case Hillary loses. Also, why were the lovers text messages scrubbed after he left Mueller. Where are they Lisa?

Trump's perverted obsession with the "lover of Peter Strzok" is... perverted.

Trump Acting Out 'Orgasm' To Mock FBI's Lisa Page, Peter Strzok Was Last Straw, She Says

Lisa Page — former FBI lawyer, and one-time colleague and romantic partner of fired agent Peter Strzok— has lashed out at President Donald Trump and his attacks against her in an interview with the Daily Beast.

The final straw in a series of unprecedented attacks on the couple by Trump was what Page characterized as the president’s performance at a campaign rally in October of an imagined “orgasm” between the two, Page said. That’s why she finally decided to speak out publicly.

I was about to post a prediction that he'd soon be whining about NATO funding, but he's beaten me to it.

Not only that, but they went to law school after graduating from college.

When I saw Trump's pathetic "fake orgasm" stunt at the rally, it thoroughly repulsed me. It was such a childish and disgusting thing to do. Trump never fails to embarrass this country in the eyes of the world. His low behavior has become the new norm. The man has no dignity and no class. None.

Redneck humor. Appeals to his base. Nothing else matters to him.

Sadly, that is exactly what appeals to his base. That they lap it up and think it's funny just supports the stereotype of the Trump base. It's another reason I think "idiot" when I discover someone is a Trump supporter.

Who in the blue hell introduced this bill?

And what if the procedure fails, as it will? Will the doctor and mother also be held accountable?

To quote from the Guardian article linked in that...

In addition to ordering doctors to do the impossible or face criminal charges, House Bill 413 bans abortion outright and defines a fertilized egg as an “unborn child”.

It also appears to punish doctors, women and children as young as 13 with “abortion murder” if they “perform or have an abortion”. This crime is punishable by life in prison. Another new crime, “aggravated abortion murder”, is punishable by death, according to the bill.

The bill is sponsored by representatives Candice Keller and Ron Hood, and co-sponsored by 19 members of Ohio’s 99-member House.

Does that help answer your questions?

6% of Democrats said Trump is better than Lincoln?

The Fox Democrats, likely?

Neither is 46.1%, but he still won the electoral college.

To poke at some numbers...

In 2016, 61.4 percent of the citizen voting-age population reported voting,

46.1% of 61.4% is 28.4% of the voting-age population, to help give perspective.

To poke at a couple things...

Trump won't send lawyers to impeachment hearing despite all his complaints about being excluded

I note a pattern here.

Trump administration's proposed gift to America for 2019: 3.7 million more hungry people

Just in case anyone needed more evidence of how harmful the Trump Administration has been.

Here's the actual interview. I didn't realize how extensive her experience in national security issues is. She must be sick about Trump. But there's no evidence that she's ever been anything but professional.

At this point, all I can do is shake my head in dismay, distaste, and discombobulated disgust.



The fat pig could rip open his trench coat on Fifth Avenue, start playing with the teeny weeny distorted mushroom-shaped flap of skin dangling between his legs....


And his brain dead trumpettes would screech in celebration: "Take that! All you triggered snowflakes!"


The Pig™ and his adoring minions all proudly position themselves on the lefthand side of the Bell Curve.

Trump and his supporters appear to have zero sense of embarrassment. As described in the book “I Claudius” no “sense of smell.” They really need to look at the soles of their shoes to see what they stepped in.

 

[Lurch]

Back in '73 or '74 John Dean pointed out the "cancer on the Presidency." Today this cancer has mestastasized to the Cabinet, House, and a good portion of the country. When you see deplorables proudly sporting shirts proclaiming that they'd rather be Russian than Democrat, you know something has gotten frightfully inverted. And perverted. In the comparatively short interval of a person's lifetime he US has to a fearful degree descended to a state where willful ignorance is a virtue, conspiracy theories abound, scofflaws are rewarded and cultish obeisance of a North Korean flavour is in progress.

The greatest nation? Maybe once. Not now. And possibly not for a good while to come... The MAGAhats appear to not even dimly perceive that their clownish slogans under a clown President are having a quite opposite effect. And while they chant and adore Dear Leader, they're unwittingly ensuring their place among the biggest losers in their decline of intellectual desertification.
