https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-d...y-is-the-best-way-to-understand-donald-trump/ Basically, it's a blog post with about 20 tweets about Trump's announcement. I'm posting this rather than doing the hard work of linking to 20 tweets. Trump, questioned by @PeterAlexander, concedes there’s no national emergency to justify building his wall. “I didn’t need to do this.” “I just want to do it faster.” A gift to all the lawyers preparing to sue him.— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) February 15, 2019 OK, this has gotta be peak Trump, right? Right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!
Yep. This pretty much says it all: Walter Shaub @waltshaub being a bad negotiator is not a national emergency 62.1K 12:47 PM - Feb 14, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy Shaub was the director of the Office of Government Ethics during the Obama administration, and he’s been outspoken about Trump’s glaring lack of ethics — namely the pr*sident’s refusal to divest his assets before turning the White House into just another squalid carny booth.
Poor Annie. Her love affair of trump has faded. She won't get any love back after these two posts either. Ann Coulter slams Trump’s national emergency as way to appease his ‘stupidest voters’ Bitter Ann Coulter scolds Trump’s wall plan: ‘The only national emergency is our president is an idiot’
I don't let my neurons hold on to information like "what does Ann Coulter think of Donald Trump?" for the longterm, so I perform regular synaptic flushes to discard such information. With the internet, it's no problem. I can just look up what I'd forgotten. https://www.newsweek.com/ann-coulter-no-longer-trump-supporter-trump-believers-petrified-609317 She recently spoke with conservative website the Daily Caller in a interview headlined, "Ann Coulter Is Worried The 'Trump-Haters Were Right'." "Trump true believers are petrified," Coulter said. But that doesn't mean she regrets backing Trump. Coulter said to the Daily Caller in the article published Sunday: "I don't apologize for supporting Trump. He said all the right things and nobody else would even say it." In her mind, he was the only chance at saving the United States and could still do it. Coulter, an anti-immigration hard-liner, was particularly perturbed with the fact that little progress had been made on a wall along the southern border of the United States, a promise long made by Trump on the campaign trail. "I'm not very happy with what has happened so far. I guess we have to try to push him to keep his promises," Coulter told the Daily Caller. "Where is the great negotiation? Where is the bull in the china shop we wanted? That budget the Republicans pushed through was like a practical joke... Did we win anything? And this is the great negotiator?" After getting into a metaphor about Trump driving the wrong direction, Coulter also slammed the president for hiring his family. The president is reportedly heavily reliant on son-in-law Jared Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump. "Americans don’t like that, I don't like that. That's the one fascist thing he’s done. Hiring his kids," Coulter said while adding she doesn't have anything against Kushner, but rather the idea of hiring relatives in general.
1096485376087097344 is not a valid tweet id The music is Everybody Hurts. 1. That's pretty funny in a normal context. 2. The official twitter feed of the ********ing president is not such a context.
Basically Ann Coulter actually believed this crap and she's now shocked and appalled that Trump doesn't.
We have something of a precedent for this. The presidential election of 1864 was held without the participation of the voters in 11 Confederate States. For awhile it looked as though Lincoln would be a one-term president, but the battlefield fortunes shifted and he ended up winning 212 electoral votes, which was well over the number needed to take the presidency, even including the EVs of the Confederate States. However, it had already been determined that the electoral votes of the Confederate States would not be counted in determining the number needed to win the presidency, so Lincoln only needed 114 votes to win in the Electoral College. Unfortunately, none of the sources I checked discussed the legal basis upon which the necessary number of electoral votes were reduced. One would think it would take a Constitutional Amendment, but I saw no mention of that occurring. In any case, had there not been a winner via the Electoral College, the election would have gone to the House, where the GOP held 75% of the seats, so Lincoln would have prevailed regardless. An interesting fact: Lincoln won almost 80% of the votes cast by soldiers in the Union Army.
Coulter is one of those few people who are upset Trump isn't a bigger douche than they expected. She's a miserable human being and takes positions in favor of things which treat people like shit the most, living in that rarified air of human beings who are actually more awful than Trump, just below serial killers, people who drive in the fast lane parallel with cars in the slow lane and Ted Cruz.
Let's review the national leadership - 1) Donald Trump - crappy student, but did manage to get through college undergrad 2) Sean Hannity - college dropout 3) Rush Limbaugh - college dropout An impressive crew. FYI, I talked with a couple last week who grew up with Rush. He was a Trump lite -- from one of the town's rich families, a smart-ass who made fun of other kids and never did any work. Just acted like an ass. What a surprise that was,
Ann Coulter at least has the courage of her conservative/centrist convictions. And yeah, people in the passing lane who drive at the same speed as the guy in the slow lane need to be shot.
Anne Coulter is, at the end of the day, a colossal attention whore just like Trump. She exists to shout “look at me!” Just like Trump.
