Donald Trump 2020

I know we're all just taking turns bagging on Trump, but there is now a serious question before us. 

I'm the resident "who cares?  none of this is real, I'm gonna be an asshole" poster on this site.  But deadly serious/IRL question-----I've been operating under the assumption that when Trump does his monthly "I've never heard of that person before/never knew them" despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary---I always just assumed (and I think most of you did as well) that he was just doing the "Clear and Present Danger" strategy where you claim you didn't know someone to politically distance yourself from whatever fallout was coming from their direction.  I mean, it's lying and it's convenient, but we all get why you do that.  Mostly because his supporters accept it at face value despite the two dozen photographs to the contrary.  BUT...BUT...BUT...is it possible that does not actually remember meeting people dozens of times from just a few weeks/months ago?  Does he honestly not remember these people who've been in small, highly confidential meetings with him dozens of times in the Oval Office because there's something else going on? 

I know we like to say he's full of shit and then we also like to say he's old and senile, but  it's usually not both with people.  Maybe he genuinely does not remember some of these people he's had incredibly important conversations with on numerous occasions.  Is that possible?  Maybe that's the narrative, he hasn't been lying...he's just been incredibly unclear about reality/memory.  I mean, he's the President...he's entitled to not remember every single high-level discussion after 3.5 years.  That's part of the job, it'd be weird if he did remember.  But not remembering the Chief of Staff to DHS after 2.5 years...and probably a few hundred hours together???.  That's very possibly, something altogether different besides political lying for the sake of convenience.  Honestly, sarcasm aside...don't just give me the "He's full of shit, Lobo"....there's something else going on here.  You can't spend a day every month denying you've ever met some high-ranking person over and over and over again despite there being some huge backlog of photographs or transcripts with you and that person.  There's something else happening.  

 

Either he remembers and is lying, or he forgot and is telling the truth.  Where would you place your bet?

You are correct.  I had the two confused.  Even to the point of thinking the "drug" belladonna was derived from oleander. Nevertheless, two common very poisonous plants.

Incorrect.  "Belladonna" is the stage name of a goth stripper.

And, for the record, she liked me.  She really did.  I could tell.  Because reasons.

[Prepuce of Doom 20969]

It's difficult for most right-thinking people to understand his relationship with dishonesty because it's just so foreign and contrary to everything we've been taught through socialization and much of what our innate instincts dictate. 

Everyone else has a default motivation to ensure internal consistency among their lies because getting caught lying is bad, and being perceived as a liar is bad.

But not Donald Trump.

For one thing, he truly doesn't care about avoiding plainly obvious self-impeachment. As a result of the perfect storm of his station of birth, his personality disorder(s) and his shitty parents who enabled and nurtured The World's Most Dangerous Moron, he's never had to care about such things. For his entire life, he's been given all of the wrong reinforcement and none of the correct punishment. 

And if you explained it to him in whatever way would actually penetrate his thick skull and tiny reptilian brain, he would undoubtedly lust for the kind of ego stroke that comes with the opportunity, ability, and circumstance to lie *without any care whatsoever for the consequences* to the entire world, from his phone, while on the toilet. 

His Presidency (and now, the state of the union) is the malevolent equivalent of a million monkeys with a million typewriters and a million years.

Wow.  Claiming to have never heard of the Chief of Staff of the Department Homeland Security, and that that fact will actually make Trumpers feel better about national security is so bizarre to me.  I mean, any President I've voted for or against could say, "Chief of Staff at Commerce?  Meh."  And I'd give 'em a pass, no problem.  But DHS?  Given the current shitshow?  To claim you couldn't be bothered to "know of/Hear of" the guy who basically ran the Department during the Secretary transition to Wolf during the most challenging year in the U.S. in 75 years? And you think you're coming across as sounding Presidential? 

That would be like Ford or Carter stating "Chief of Staff at Dept. of Energy?  Nah, never heard of him even though he ran the department for a few months during the oil crisis."  How would that sound to a reasonably intelligent adult?  

i'm really answering your previous question, but it's on the last page - i heard kushner in an interview with wolf blitzer on cnn a couple days ago, and you could tell all kushner wanted to talk about was this genius peace deal in the middle east, so of course blitzer hit him with everything else before getting to it.  along the way, he asked about miles taylor (i think this was the day the ad came out) and kushner was basically like, "yeah, i know miles, he's a nice kid, he wasn't here very long."

so to answer someone else's assertion, yes, they're treating him like a random intern who was there for the summer 9 years ago.

I gotta find that interview.  Because a Senior Fellow at AEI just indicated that Miles Taylor (IU Graduate) came highly recommended to the Administration through two very noteworthy Hoosiers (in this sense, people just from Indiana...not actual IU graduates)................this Fellow from AEI who goes back a ways in D.C. and a little known Indiana resident named Mike Pence.  Please, please, please...somebody ask Mike Pence about Miles Taylor and his connection to Indiana.  That's how Taylor rose through the ranks so quickly, Pence took a shining to him.  One thing I'll give Pence credit for, he doesn't play the "I have no idea, never heard of them" card very often.  He usually just awkwardly smiles and talks about nothing for six minutes, he doesn't blatantly play the senile card.  This is amazing, everything in this administration is two minutes away from happening and nobody has ever heard of anybody.  The fucking Vice President propped Miles Taylor up for advancement to Chief of Staff of one of the most important Cabinet Departments in a matter of months but nope...Trump nor Pence has ever heard of the guy.

Trump not outright condemning Qanon years ago, LIKE A NORMAL PRESIDENT WOULD, is going to be one of the most consequential decisions of his Presidency long term.

Lulz, look who learned a new word today!  From WaPo:

Quote

“Today, I am directing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to notify the U.N. Security Council that the United States intends to restore virtually all of the previously-suspended United Nations sanctions on Iran,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “It’s a snapback. Not uncommon.”

The United States argues that even though it has left the nuclear deal, it retains the right as an original “JCPOA participant” to trigger the “snapback” of sanctions over any issue that violates the agreement, even though it no longer is a participant in it.

Both Russia and China have dismissed the U.S. position, saying that since it left the agreement, it has no right to keep the arms embargo in place.

He’s shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves.

I don't know how or why they chose those colors. I've never researched it. It's not a big deal. Want a real head-scratcher? Why are the flowers that adorn the rotunda of Ohio Stadium displayed in maize and blue?

Legend has it that it was the result of a bet when Michigan beat OSU on the official opening of the new stadium. That's almost certainly not true. Still, it's a curiosity.

Depressingly I feel like even David Duke would have been responsible enough to call Qanon batshit nonsense. I mean, to my knowledge, Duke didn’t jump into the QAnon waters.

Ha, it didn't even occur to me he is referring to UN sanctions.  Does the US have any power to enforce UN sanctions unilaterally?  I assume not, but I'm willing to learn.

Yeah, I'm your big concern Barbara.  The guy who went and completely and passionately joined team-FuckTrump.  The sooner your party embraces there are those of us who hate Hillary, but want Trump to die...the sooner you'll defeat him.  We number in the millions and have given buckets of cash and support to Biden because we want him gone.  Also...in addition to...as well...plus plus...we don't like her.  Why can't you let us have both?  Defeating Trump, watching him die in prison, and also a big hearty fuck you from the nation to her in the first place?  We are not the men who want to watch the world burn.  Just those two, just let us watch those two leave this Earth.

If you want to shut a Trumpkin down, you have to pick a detail and press them to explain it. I read a long diatribe a couple of days ago in which the author several times called De Blasio a communist. He boasted that libs never had an answer and always run away to hide. I asked him what his definition of a communist was (because they love to equivocate-always ask what they think a term means first) and how the Mayor met that definition. The guy never showed his face in the thread again.
