President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Lahhhh dee dahhh.

Which also brings up the question of the actual biological sire of Ivanky's "Kushner" rug rats.

 

I don’t know who this guy is, but he makes a good point

By Randy Schwartz-Diaz...

Joe Biden or Donald Trump will be inaugurated next January.

Since some people don't understand how the federal government functions, know this: the most important task a President undertakes is staffing the Executive Branch. That is, whom he puts into cabinet positions and other jobs that do the actual work of the Executive Branch.
So even if you don't like Joe himself, it is simply untrue to suggest that Biden would put our public schools in the hands of someone like Betsy Devos who actively opposes public education.
He would not put his unqualified son in-law and a theocratic Vice President in charge of a deadly pandemic. Despite all his flaws, Biden would pass the mic to medical experts like Dr. Fauci instead of bloviating self-serving, scientifically illiterate bullshit from the White House podium every day.
Joe Biden would not pardon a sadistic war criminal while firing a captain who tried to save the lives of his crew. He would not direct ICE to raid medical facilities during a pandemic. He would not pick fights with our democratic allies while sucking up to every fascist dictator from Brazil to Turkey to North Korea. He would not threaten his own ambassadors for refusing to make up dirt on a political opponent. He would not base every single decision on how hard the petitioner kisses his ass, and imperil the very lives of innocent civilians because their governor said something critical of him.
The ideal candidate for which your heart yearns does not exist, and is not on the menu. “Writing in" someone else, or voting for Jill Stein again, or staying home, doesn't change anything about one central fact:
Either Joe Biden or Donald Trump will be inaugurated next January.
So please don’t pretend that it doesn't matter which of these candidates wins. Because it damn well does, as people are discovering at the cost of their own lives.

 

Has Pussy Texan stood up yet to FATUS for slagging his wife?

 

Trump can shit where he eats all he wants. His sycophants will eat it up and think it's divine chocolate truffles.

 

The fucking infantile really could use a good ass-kicking, like Mr. Biden talked about as the 2016 campaign was going to hell.

If called, I will serve.

 

Kevin Cracknell and Trump don't care

 

How will we know we defeated the enemy if we can’t see them?

 

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read
March 8, 2019 ~ Michael Stevenson

Someone on Quora asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.
Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
‘My God… what… have… I… created?
If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

He essentially called him a bloody ... twat and was seriously holding back.
