To be fair, President Trump’s four years in office weren’t so bad, except when when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed nearly half a million Americans

You seem really pissed off for a nontrumper.  Just laugh at the trumpers, bro.  They’re really gullible dumbfucks who worship this orange blob…you know, people completely unlike yourself.

That actually looks more presidential than doing color commentary for a boxing match with two 60-year olds on September 11th.  At least he was working with a worthy charity.

Compare Donald Trump and Jerry Jones.  Both are celebrity businessmen who try to come across larger than life and play into the caricature of NYC and Texas respectively.

The difference is that Jerry could buy and sell Trump numerous times over.  The same weekend Trump spent doing pay per view boxing, Jerry flew around on his private jet between his spaceship yacht and his two football programs (Dallas and Arky).

If you’ve ever dealt with actual billionaires, you know how big of a fraud Trump is, which is why the Manhattan crowd hated him.  They’re actual billionaires.

Norm MacDonald, Jerry Jeff Walker, and John Prine are all dead, but this sack of fucking garbage still walks the earth. 
We lost so many quality humans and of my own personal heroes the last few years, that forgot about Jerry Jeff. It became so much I started blocking it out. Bourdain, Justin Townes, ...

I did plant a peach tree with my son for Prine....

Trump is the most classic and most extreme case of malignant narcissistic personality disorder I have ever seen.

If you’ve ever dealt with someone like this, there is simply no way to deal with them. Extrication is the only solution. Simply hanging around them puts your own fate in danger. They destroy every thing they touch.

The fact that he became president of the most powerful country in the world means the fact that the world wasn’t destroyed in that process is simply a miracle and took a lot of both good (Mattis, Milley) and shitty people  (Barr, Moscow Mitch) a ton of Herculean effort to prevent it.

The fact that we are all still posting here is a miracle and trump must be destroyed before he ever reaches that level again or we are all dead.

Having China, Russia, and USA go full authoritarian doesn’t seem good no matter how “you think our country’s so innocent”s rationales you put out there.

I’m on the ledge because our democracies and institutions are under siege on multiple fronts.

Just because it's Friday and we're all drunk, doesn't mean you can get away with using simply twice in the same paragraph. Clean that shit up and resubmit

It’s funny you say that because I actually noticed that. But like trump supporters I’m mad you pointed that out, so I simply refuse to edit.

The crazy thing is Bill Barr was right and if trump had followed his advice he’s likely still the president and the country is totally fucked because no way it survives another four years of that maniac asshole. 

I think if Trump had been just 1% less of an ass and just done a little to stop covid and maybe behave better in the debates he probably would have won.  Thank God he was well rounded in his incompetence.

He was groomed by his father and Wharton to be able to walk among the Manhattan business and society elite. That never happened in 50 years.  Then he finally at least appealed to middle America with his game show and that earned him at least a modicum of arrival.  But when he entered politics and deeply appealed to the stupid and vile, that’s when he truly found his calling.  Say what you want about the man, but after 70 years….:to finally discover your calling, your station.  I envy that because most of us never will. 

On the advice of Putin and the Russians he became a hero to many millions of white racists who don’t think they’re racists by claiming on Twitter that Obama was not a legitimate president because he was born in Kenya. He rode that white lie all the way to the presidency.

The reason Trump got elected was Fox News and social media. The news organizations are supposed to be run by responsible journalist that don’t lie, but that went out with window with Trump. He never rose to any serious political consideration before 2008 because the Media and all the other adults in the room ignored him for what he was, a sideshow clown. His history is chalked full of saying outrageous shit to get attention. But Obama awakened the racist south lulled to sleep with NFL and free porn. Trump started bitherism, a clear lie to get attention. and the racists loved it, but instead of shutting it down, Fox News legitimized it by exploring the possibility, and giving Trump a platform.

All true but he still needs a large base to beat the establishment. Twitter and the birtherism lie gave that to him. Fox News didn’t cause that.

Had to share this intro to Fitz and the Tantrums' MoneyGrabber from Bruce Springsteen's DJ session on E Street Radio earlier this week. The title of this session was 'Money Honey', and he dedicated this particular song to dotard in spectacular fashion. I wish I could find an audio clip of it, but here's the transcript.

 

Quote

As a child, I took lessons at Mike Diehl's music school on South Street. Mr. Diehl had a lovely little school — nothing too big, came out of a small, '50s-style ranch house — and made a nice living there. 

Some years later… Donald Trump is building one of his damn casinos down in Atlantic City. Orders a bunch of pianos from my friend Mr. Diehl and then, of course, refuses to pay for them. 

Now, for Mr. Diehl, hundreds of thousands of dollars in pianos is a lot of fucking pianos, and a lot of fucking money. And that this bastard held out on this small-town music-school owner, and finally agreed to pay him something like six on the dollar, was disgusting. And it really hurt Mr. Diehl at the time. That was basically his… that was the money that he made for the entire year. 

So. I'm gonna dedicate this one to that fucker that's sittin' down in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, right now, sucking on his shrimp scampi and lyin' to the rest of the nation. 

He's just a goddamn money grabber.

Here's the NYT article.  Where Dan Quayle is the voice of reason:

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/14/us/politics/trump-election-woodward-book.html

 

 

 

  Hide contents

“Peril,” which is scheduled to be released next Tuesday, says its accounts are based on contemporaneous notes, documents and interviews with unnamed firsthand participants and witnesses. The New York Times obtained a copy of it.

Similar to other media reports and books released since Mr. Trump left office, the book details how Mr. Trump’s presidency essentially collapsed in his final months in office, particularly after his election loss and the start of his campaign to deny the results. Top aides — including General Milley, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Attorney General William P. Barr — became convinced that they needed to take drastic measures to stop him from trampling on American democracy or setting off an international conflict, and General Milley thought that Mr. Trump had declined mentally in the aftermath of the election, according to the book.

A little less than half of the book also covers the first several months of Joseph R. Biden’s administration, as the new president grappled with the pandemic, a faltering economy, Congress and the military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“If the mission is to preserve the Ghani government, I would not send my own son,” Mr. Biden is quoted as telling aides in his first few months in office during the discussions about the withdrawal, referring to President Ashraf Ghani, who at the time was trying to repel the Taliban from taking over the country.

But it is the book’s details about the Trump administration that are likely to garner the most attention.

In the days leading up to the 2020 election, the book reveals, American intelligence showed that the Chinese believed that Mr. Trump planned to launch a military strike to create an international crisis that he could claim to solve as a last-ditch effort to beat Joseph R. Biden Jr.

General Milley, who had become increasingly concerned about China’s growing military power and the potential for one misread move to set off combat between the world superpowers, first called General Li around that time on a secret backchannel. He wanted to assure General Li and President Xi Jinping that the United States was not planning to attack China.

On the Jan. 8 call, General Li suggested that Chinese leaders feared that the United States government was unstable. He pressed General Milley over the course of an hour and a half about whether the military was going to take action.

Despite General Milley’s reassurances, he feared that Mr. Trump might be trying to find a moment that he could seize on to remain in power, similar to Hitler’s exploitation in 1933 of an arson fire at the German Reichstag to help institute emergency powers, the book said.

But even after the call, General Milley concluded that the situation was “grave” and General Li “remained unusually rattled,” the book reports.

Mr. Trump, General Milley had concluded, did not want a war but might order the launch of some sort of military strike that would set off a chain reaction and lead to war.

“I continually reminded him,” General Milley is quoted as saying, “depending on where and what you strike, you could find yourself at war.”

Later that day, General Milley spoke to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was growing increasing concerned Mr. Trump would lash out and use military force.

“This is bad, but who knows what he might do?” Ms. Pelosi said. “He’s crazy. You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time. So don’t say you don’t know what his state of mind is.”

“Madam Speaker,” General Milley said, “I agree with you on everything.”

General Milley, who as the president’s top military adviser is not in the chain of command, tried to reassure Ms. Pelosi that he could stop Mr. Trump.

“The one thing I can guarantee is that as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I want you to know that — I want you to know this in you heart of hearts, I can guarantee you 110 percent that the military, use of military power, whether it’s nuclear or a strike in a foreign country of any kind, we’re not going to do anything illegal or crazy,” he said.

“Well,” Ms. Pelosi said, “what do you mean, illegal or crazy?”

“I can give you my word,” General Milley said. “The best I can do is give you my word and I’m going to prevent anything like that in the United States military.”

After speaking to Ms. Pelosi, General Milley convened a meeting in a war room at the Pentagon with the military’s top commanders, telling them that he wanted to go over the longstanding procedures for launching a nuclear weapon. The general reminded the commanders that only the president could order such a strike and that General Milley needed to be directly involved.

“If you get calls,” General Milley said, “no matter who they’re from, there’s a process here, there’s a procedure. No matter what you’re told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure. You’ve got to make sure that the right people are on the net.”

The general added: “The strict procedures are explicitly designed to avoid inadvertent mistakes or accident or nefarious, unintentional, illegal, immoral, unethical launching of the world’s most dangerous weapons.”

Then, he went around the room and asked each officer to confirm that they understood what he was saying.

Twelve days later, General Milley said, he thought he may be one of the happiest people at Mr. Biden’s inauguration because Mr. Trump had finally left office.

“We know what you went through,” Mr. Biden told General Milley shortly before the inauguration. “We know what you did.”

While much had been reported about General Milley’s views of Mr. Trump, the book’s depiction of Mr. Pence revealed for the first time the depths that the vice president went to as his fealty to toward Mr. Trump collided with calculations about his political future and the counsel of his aides and advisers to follow the Constitution.

In the days leading up to Jan. 6, Mr. Pence called Mr. Quayle, the only living Republican vice president forced to certify an election in which he was on the losing ticket.

Mr. Pence told him that the president was convinced that Mr. Pence could throw out the election results in order to keep himself in power.

“Mike, you have no flexibility on this,” Mr. Quayle told Mr. Pence. “None. Zero. Forget it. Put it away.”

“I know, that’s what I’ve been trying to tell Trump,” Mr. Pence said. “But he really thinks he can. And there are other guys in there saying I’ve got this power.”

Mr. Pence then echoed Mr. Trump’s false claims of election fraud. “Well, there’s some stuff out in Arizona,” Mr. Pence said.

“Mike, I live in Arizona,” Mr. Quayle said. “There’s nothing out here.”

Anyone who has any experience with narcissists (and was smart enough to realize that’s what those people were) saw Trump for what he was from 100 miles away. He’s an awful, destructive, pathetic creature. And the only sane course of action is to never have anything to do with that person, ever.

So what did WE do? We made him President. Because most of our population is too gut-wrenchingly stupid to see him for what he is.

When I look back at my childhood I realize the TV shoes I watched the most by far were the dukes of hazard, scooby doo, and the smurfs. 
 

My God tv sucked back in the 80s. 

I was just wearing a Scooby Doo shirt so this hits close to home.

Thank you also for now getting the Smurfs song stuck in my head.
