President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He's a fucking embarrassment.

 

Trump raises specter of treason - The Boston Globe

Fun Fact: Treason is a capital crime.

 

Or signal he's a rebel. Should have tried an earring and a barbed-wire tattoo on a bicep.

 

He's an idiot. And he's going to be president. Nice job, 25 percent of America.

 

Trump and his ilk have cost us Michael Sheen:

Everyone trying to pick him up in the bookstore tells him he's pretty. Where's his signal to change?

 

One of my favorite stories about "looking the part" ...

As a new-ish doctoral student I attended a consortium at one of the big academic conferences. At such events senior scholars from across the profession give attendees career advice, etc. One of the speakers was (at the time) a full professor at some big state university (I can't remember which one). He told us about his conversations about his long hair he had with his dissertation chair when entering the job market.
"Do you think I should cut my hair?" he asked.
"Well, let's think about your dream schools," his chair said. "Let's say you didn't cut your hair but you got an interview at one of them. And let's say you didn't get the job. Would you think you didn't get it because of your hair?"
"Of course not. I'd be lucky just to get an interview, so if I didn't get it I'd assume it was because they got someone better."
"Now let's think about your second tier of schools," said the chair. "Would you cut your hair for an interview at one of them?"
"No, probably not. I'd be a pretty strong candidate for a job there."
"So if you interviewed there, and still didn't get an offer, would you think that you didn't get one because of your hair?"
"Well ... no, but maybe I'd start to wonder."
"Ok, now let's say that you've still not gotten any offers, but a school on your third tier has called and wants you to come interview. Would you cut your hair?"
"Yes, by this point I'd probably cut my hair."
"So let me get this straight. You wouldn't cut your hair for a shot at your dream job. You wouldn't cut your hair for a shot at an acceptable job. But you would cut it for a shot at a third-tier job."

The guy said he got a haircut that very afternoon.

 

Hair dude or/and Trump?

 

I should note that Hair Dude has a better 'do than PEOTUS ... God only knows what he is signalling with that look.

 

Goofy-looking, elitist idiots:

 

Doc, these snowflakes think appearances do not matter.

Dress Code- should I even ask?
