"Trump fatigue" has already set in.

 TWEET ME“Our long national nightmare is over"

With all due respect to Gerald Ford, I honestly believe that our "national nightmare" has just began.

In case you have not been paying attention, the president confirmed today, in an interview with Lester Holt, that all of his minions were either being lied to by him, or just flat out lying to us. Either way it's not good, and the stench is just getting stronger.

Mr. trump declared that he alone decided to fire James Comey, even though all of his spokespeople were busy telling us that some Deputy AG  in the Attorney General's office was the one who pushed for, and was ultimately responsible for Comey getting the boot.  For the record, the fall guy is not pleased, and he apparently does not like the fact that he was used by trump and his people to try and play us.

The bookies in South Philly are already taking bets on the over and under for the amount of days trump will last in office before being impeached (I think that he will limp to the end of his term), and the under is raking in the most bucks right now, but we will see.

Among other things I learned today that Mr. trump asked the man charged with investigating him and his administration- on three different occasions- if he was under investigation. Imagine that for a minute. Remember how upset republicans got when Bill Clinton met Loretta Lynch on that airplane in Phoenix? I do. Regardless of what was said, they moaned, it was not a good look.  And I agree with them, it was not a good look.  But if true, this is far worse, and you won't hear a peep out of right-wingnuts about it.

Over in Washington, the republicans have circled the wagons, and at least publicly, they are standing by trump and his team. Not one republican has had the decency to come forward and tell the emperor that he has no clothes. Outside of the beltway we are all dying of trump fatigue after just over a hundred days. 

Personally, I am already tired of the guy. And I wish that he would just go away, play golf, and drive around in his gold plated golf cart all day. He would be doing all of us a huge favor.

Not all of us can handle nightmares.

Apparently "I alone can do this" can't. White coat intervention would be a blessing for this once great nation. Drumpf needs downtime in a padded cell with his favorite Ivanka blow up doll with the round mouth to settle his nerves. Just not any padded cell where he can charge the government because he owns it.

dinthebeast said...

It sure looks like he just never expected to win, so he sort of didn't pay that much attention to the consequences of what his campaign was doing, because what would it matter? And now that he actually has to answer for all of that stuff that looked like great trolling or tough guy stuff at the time, he doesn't know what to do.
And meanwhile the wheels are starting to come off of the government, with hundreds of positions unfilled and the obvious resulting bad decisions piling up around him and/or being shot down in the courts.
If he actually believed that he could just do it all himself without even trying to learn how, that would explain a lot of his more peculiar behavior.
I actually think he just stepped on it really hard, and doesn't quite realize that yet. If he can deal with owning his mistake in public, he might have a chance, but I'm skeptical about that.

That's not true. What actually happened was that on three different occasions, Director Comey told President Trump that he was not under investigation. Trump never asked him.

No matter how many times you get burned, you never seem to learn not to trust the Fake News sources you get your information from.

Off topic, but congressional Republicans are working to pull some fast ones with regards to government statistics-gathering. They are including provisions in innocuous-sounding legislation to prevent the government from even knowing, much less publishing, information about the effects of racism in American society. This will be right in line with the thinking of Der Pumpkinfuhrer, so I'm sure he will happily sign any such laws if they end up on his desk.

The following passage can be found in a House bill for something called the Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act 2017

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing.

As the saying goes: The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

Only a deranged liberal could fabricate a scandal out of the fact that Trump is NOT the target of an investigation.

No, that's what Trump says happened.

But then again, on about a billion separate occasions, Trump lied.

As the media and their partners in the Democrat Party continue to spin out of control, many Americans are becoming exasperated by the constant media outrage. It’s a worrisome time to be a sane person, but take heart, there is reason for us all to be optimistic.

First, there is no evidence anywhere that Trump has done something wrong. We know this because no one has ever produced it, and Democrats keep saying things like, “there is no evidence, yet.” There is no evidence yet, because after more than a year of investigating the intelligence community has come up empty. Why? Because there is nothing to find.

Secondly, the Democrat Party is dying and the ongoing battle over NOTHING is more evidence of this fact. The more they gibber on about this insane, invisible, nonexistent, so-called connection between the Russians and our election, the more they act like children in trying to obstruct every single thing the President does, the more unified the rest of the country becomes.

"Unbalanced load" you say? Don't be so sure. You have been one of the strongest voices on the internet waging the Resistance against the dark night of Nazism that has fallen over America.
It could well be that Trump is coming after you with the help of his Russian "friends". Take care my friend, and keep your head on a swivel.

If this screed makes you feel better then have at it. Trump is under investigation and everyone knows he might be dirty. Let the investigation play out and we'll go from there but please don't insult our intelligence by stating flatly Trump has done nothing wrong, you don't know. If youvsaid nothing during the 1,000 Benghazi hearings then just give us the same rrspect. And for the record it's the DEMOCRATIC party, it comes across as very juvenile and petty if you use the pejorative democrat.

Trump is doing his level best to be fired ("You're fired!), that is, impeached, but House and Senate Republicans are having none of it.

Republicans worked really, really, really hard to win the presidency again, lying, cheating and stealing (their usual tactic), and they're not letting a little thing like Trump's Russian/Putin connection (collusion), and Trump's compromised position interfere with that win.

In short, they'll place party interest above that of the American people, even if it means allowing Putin to have the final say in the formation of our national policies.

So now we know why Foster killed himself.

Actually, since Clinton had been in office less than five months the firing of the FBI director was Hitler Weasel Bush's fault. Remember, 9-11 happened 7 months into dumbass dubya's reign of terror so wingnuts blamed Clinton for it.

So now America is responsible for the holocaust? I thought Russians were white? Aren't Jews kind of white?

As far as African slaves go, I don't know where you get 60 million, which is several multiples of all the slaves ever brought to America. Maybe you are counting the centuries of Arab slave trade, and that's America's fault too.

Slavery and colonialism were the best things ever to happen to Africa. When the Europeans made first contact, the entire population of sub-Saharan Africa was about 50 million tops, limited by the continents very high disease load and limited agriculture. Today, with Western medicine, food technology, and aid, it is approaching 2 billion. Some holocaust.

The luckiest ones are the descendants of the slaves taken to America, who make up the richest, healthiest, best educated, free-est, and most well-protected blacks on the planet.

But they are still way more violent than the rest of America, and that violence is shattering their communities. It is politically useful to fill them with resentment for what happened to their ancestors, and to blame racism for all their personal failings. They hear it every day in grade school through college. They get it on TV, advertisements and in movies. Hate hate hate. To the modern Leftist, like Purple Cow or the Field Negro, this justifies the horrific level of racially-motivated black on white murders we have experienced here in America for the last half century. And so Harrison Brown gets a machete to the head as he walks across UT campus to get some lunch. Because Justice!

And so the beat will go on, for you can be certain that the injustice of today will be used to justify the injustice of tomorrow. This is the danger of lying about history, Cow.

Brigade Fifteen said...

BTW, Trump also lied in his interview with Lester Holt when he said he did not know scary psycho General Michael Flynn back in 2015, which happened to be when Flynn was taking money from and hanging with Vladimir Putin.

But Trump did meet with Flynn that year, according to what Flynn himself told a New Yorker reporter:

"In August, 2015, Flynn went to New York to meet Trump for the first time. They were scheduled to talk for thirty minutes; the conversation lasted ninety. Flynn was deeply impressed. 'I knew he was going to be the President of the United States,' he told me."

So this is just more lame obfuscation from Trump. He's trying to pull this "How could I have known Flynn was bad if Obama liked him?" garbage, and confuse the public into believing Flynn was still working for Obama back then. He wasn't, as Obama had fired him a year earlier for being a fruitcake. And Obama later told Trump NOT to hire Flynn, which Trump, of course, ignored.

Trump seems to use this "I don't know that guy" excuse pretty regularly (probably because he has so many awful associates he needs to disavow). Remember when a certain grand wizard of the KKK endorsed him? That was some classic Trump, right there:

"Tapper, Feb. 28: I want to ask you about the Anti-Defamation League, which this week called on you to publicly condemn unequivocally the racism of former KKK grand wizard David Duke, who recently said that voting against you at this point would be treason to your heritage. Will you unequivocally condemn David Duke and say that you don’t want his vote or that of other white supremacists in this election?

Trump: Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. OK? I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. So, I don’t know."


And also:

"Tapper: OK. I mean, I’m just talking about David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan here, but…

Trump: I don’t know any — honestly, I don’t know David Duke. I don’t believe I have ever met him. I’m pretty sure I didn’t meet him. And I just don’t know anything about him."


Fortunately, Trump makes up for his ignorance of real-life individuals with extensive knowledge about imaginary ones. Like Muslims in New Jersey whom he claims to have seen cheering the terrorist attacks on 9/11. He knows those guys.

So why was the innocent man murdered in NYC by the man who just wanted to kill negroes? How about the nine elderly church goers killed for no reason in Charleston? Just because they were negroes that's why. Get off your high horse asshole and tell me why the vast majority of whites are killed by fellow whites or do you only care when your fellow whitey is killed by a negro? Hypocrisy much or are racists just blind to their racism?

Your comments are always so precious. You always know the "right things" to say. Maybe someday you will grow up and learn to be wrong.

Now, I used to think of myself as an independent thinker, because that’s what people recommended. I grew up in a more traditionally oriented small town, white, lower middle class and protestant, but my parents and closest friends were casually liberal.

Furthermore, the message of consolidated corporate media was individualistic, rebellious, and anti authority. At the time I was unaware of further alternatives. It was either dumb, religious rednecks or the cool, smart, open minded liberals, who were much fewer in number and appealed more to my desire to be different.

You can’t think for yourself before someone tells you who to think for, so if people tell you to think for yourself, that’s who you tell yourself you’re thinking for. Humans are apes, and apes are imitative. When you begin thinking, you’re imitating the thinker before you have time to think it through. You’re a Rodin sculpture rather than a free spirit.

Society not only gives you instructions, it gives you models. So you can watch and learn to be a good critical thinker, and use signs to show others you’re not like the others. It’s a matter of attitude, posture, and style. It’s repetition of stock arguments and canned outrages. Stats when you need them and stat skepticism when you don’t. A full wardrobe for feigning, disdaining intellect to wear for every occasion.

You read the right people and say the right things. You hate yourself enough for everyone else to love you. And then one day you lose the trappings of intelligence. Time teaches you that what you know intuitively is worth defending. You stop hating yourself, which makes others hate you.

The fear of appearing stupid is stultifying. And it leads to embarrassing, approval seeking behavior. Break free, critical conformists, from the dogmas of the free thinkers.

The Prophet Muhammad said...

"Media outlets, after scouring archived news stories and video footage, could not find verified accounts of Jersey City Muslims rejoicing."

This is from your article you linked us to Uhleekh. So in essence there are no videos, photographs or actual evidence but there are a few people including a police officer who say they saw somewhere between 20-50 people celebrating. It could have been anybody celebrating anything, maybe a birthday? Who knows?

"The NJ Advance Media inquiry, encompassing more than two dozen interviews conducted since Nov. 25, found Trump's broad assertion that thousands of people cheered to be baseless. At the same time, the inquiry provides the first credible indication of at least two modest celebrations, as described by on-the-record sources who say they witnessed the behavior."

To sum up, Trumo lied when he said he saw "thousands" of Muslims celebrating and at best some people say they saw something. Not evidence of anything, not saying these modest celebrations didn't happen but 1. Trump lied and 2. there is still no evidence of any celebrations. It was a good read though.
