The Trump Presidency V: New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies

You say this like anything Trump does is logical.

 

Plus Till and Trump have a huge oil deal lined up with Putin when this all blows over.

 

I watched the WH press meeting today. The press core are so brow beaten by Hucksan they wouldn't say boo. It was like watching Nurse Ratchet.

What an insecure little fuc.kface.

 

Insecure and mean. Not Woody Allen insecure, wrapped up in his own fears, but the nasty version of insecure, the kind of kid who needs to make others cry to feel good about himself.

 

I dunno, the allegations against Woody Allen make me think they're one and the same.

 

OK, that would be O. This doesn't help me one damn bit. Not Nikki Haley, not Rex Tillerson, not Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Not Steve Mnuchin.

This is a long exploration of the uneasy moral dilemma facing Democrats. Conservatives be forewarned...it presumes bad faith on the part of the Republican party. It uses the explicit example of Newt's evolving position on the fairness of Robert Mueller, but also talks about the completely ********ed up GOP leadership take on the tax cuts and the upcoming need to cut SS and Medicare because of the deficit.

Speaking just for myself, I held off on responding in a nihilistic manner, because when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you. The election of Trump destroyed most of my defenses, and the process by which the GOPs are proceeding on MAJOR MAJOR legislation destroyed the rest.

My feeling is win, reverse gerrymander, and start attacking all GOP interest groups...the finance industry, megachurches, non-general practitioning doctors, the Kochs, the CEO class, absentee voters, the gun fetishists, everyone and anyone we can identify.

Don't get me wrong, I see the downside. But that's where I'm at.

 

As a side note, the Al Franken defenders mentioned in that article are female, as are the Al Franken defenders in my office. It's a Nixon-to-China thing ... male Dems hesitate make that argument for fear of being branded as soft on Communism sexual assaulters, whereas the women are largely immune from that argument.

At any rate, I have come around to the view that dropping Al was good politics for the Democrats, if not necessarily fair to Al (he might well deserve to go, but not until some form of due process is applied). Portraying the GOP as the rapey/pedo enablers seems to be working, and keeping Al would get in the way of that approach.

 

As is shining shoes.

I spent one summer cleaning floors and bathrooms in a convalescent home. I have had worse jobs than that ... telemarketing, for one. Security guard, for another (more boring). It was certainly more honorable than being Donald Trump.

 

I'd rather have one party with a moral compass than zero parties with a moral compasses.

The right thing is always worth fighting for. It can be a momentum builder on its own merit. And a positive karma accumulator. And doing the right thing does not infer weakness. One can do the right thing and still go to war against that list of targets. They're not mutually exclusive.

 

Interesting. I did my share of moonlighting cleaning an office building, inc toilets at night. As well as working double shifts (16 hours) as a security guard over a Xmas , new year period. You do what you need to do if you don't have a $10million start in life.
Telemarketing. Hell no, I'd sooner clean toilets.

 

I'd rather be a US Senator. I did telemarketing back in the 80s, lasted one day before saying no thanks.

 

For sure. Easy call that.

 

People have long been unsure what she did at the White House," the former official said, adding that people inside the White House had been openly wondering "what value she brought" to the operation.

"Many of her colleagues are elated by today's news," the former official added.

Manigault Newman, who was married earlier this year, was one of Trump's most outspoken supporters during the campaign.
In an interview with PBS "Frontline," Manigault Newman said that when Trump wins, "Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump."

Much of Manigault Newman's work centered around being a high-profile Trump surrogate with African-American voters. That role, however, was often contentious and her appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention in New Orleans earlier this year spiraled into a shouting match about Trump's views on police brutality.​

​

I thought for sure, with all her reality TV experience, she'd be the last one voted off the island, or whatever they do on Real World Trumpistan.

 

​

I say this about half of Trumps cabinet appointments. The other half are there to dismantle the departments they are appointed to.
