President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He probably has an answer for that, but it would take more than five words and his arms would get tired.

 

I wonder what the intel was that led them to use one of those big mothers. 22,000 lbs. is eleven times bigger than the largest conventional U.S. aerial bomb of WWII.

 

Looks like the top view of a beautiful four-tier chocolate cake.

 

Engage oop. Are you new here?

 

It must have killed them to write this headline:

 

Ignoring him, officially or otherwise, seems a hell of a lot more productive than spamming #boardcentrist or whatever when he posts a partisan opinion with which you disagree.

 

Too much fun to tweak him.

 

Then expect less. When you engage in a debate with someone who has no interest in actually examining the positions beyond whether or not it's good for his team, you're empowering their POV. It's just a big game.

Tony was much worse.

 

The Art of the Deal is about being a successful bullshit artist and strategist, which Trump consistently is, because we confuse winning with goodness.

A whole generation of young Americans are watching, too. They see a liar blowhard for a president, and think "it gets him ahead, what about me?" On our worst days, we wouldn't teach our children to conduct themselves like Trump in their daily lives; it'd be like watching Star Wars and telling your kid: Isn't it a shame these welfare babies and coastal elite rebels can't appreciate the order and power of the Empire?

Americans elected Trump because we've been successfully duped into believing all politicians are devils and liars, there's nobody interested in the common good, so why not elect the nastiest devil on the block? Which he is.

Trump's genius is that he admits it. He appeals to hate, rage and isolation. And that's what people would rather feel. And when they feel that, they go looking for a devil.

Trump may very well achieve some things. Wouldn't surprise me. He'll bully and cajole and threaten and, it'll work here and there.

 

Alma and oop.

 

Big bomb go boom boom. Fucko get big boner.
