Did He Really Say That In Public??

I wasn't going to say anything about this; I was going to just let it slide, but the more I thought about it, the bigger the knot in my stomach grew.

Supposedly,  #hesnotmypresident Donald Trump is all about patriotism and loyalty to America and good old Christian values. I've heard it said that one of the big reasons a lot of white lower and lower middle class  Bible-thumpers voted for him was because they thought he would bring America back to what they consider the good old days, when beating up 'nigras' was thought of as entertainment just like dog and cock fighting.  The days when anyone who thought we shouldn't have been in Vietnam  was subject to being lynched for committing treason,  when boys didn't let their hair grow below their collars,  and the very thought of having gays and transgenders serving openly in the US Military was enough to make "Good Old General Hardass" toss his cookies and swoon.

Well, I don't see any of that happening anytime soon (even though he did make an effort by "taking   back" allowing transgenders to serve openly) so evidently he wasn't as gung ho about that platform as he was about what I believe to be his goal, erasing every single thing that Obama put into place. IMO, he just wants to wipe the Obama Administration off the books, (or perhaps put an asterisk beside it? LOL) and now he's trying again to ridicule the Obama family.

Report: Trump called White House a 'dump' to NJ golf club


President Donald Trump has told members of his New Jersey golf club that he spends so much time away from Washington because the White House is a "real dump."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the account, which appeared in a lengthy article posted on the website golf.com. The story on Trump's complicated love for golf also appears in Sports Illustrated magazine.

The story recounts a scene in which Trump was chatting with some club members. Trump told the members he makes such frequent appearances at the property in Bedminster, New Jersey, because: "That White House is a real dump."

Trump has spent nearly every weekend of his presidency visiting various properties he owns and leases, including Bedminster.

Okay, I can hear the catcalls and the derision just as loudly as if you were sitting here next to me at the computer.  I know, it's a stretch, but we're talking about a man here who has been in the business of making money by any means necessary for longer than some of us are old! Every con that there is I'm sure he's done, and that includes long-term cons that require more patience than a black widow waiting for her latest husband to die! None of the big guns that Trump has fired have panned out (like the birther issue, the wiretapping issue, etc.) so why not pull out the stops and just pile up all the stuff they can find? Knowing that everything he says gets reported to somebody in journalism, what other reason could he have to make that statement in public? IMO, to ridicule #hesstillmyPresident Barack Obama. I mean the Obama family lived in that house for 8 years and you didn't hear any complaints about it, now he comes in and says it's a dump; and when someone says "Well the Obamas never said anything like that and they were there for 8 years.... "Of course it wouldn't be a dump to the Obamas, they don't know any better, you know how those people are." That by itself is no big deal, but if you stack up everything that he can dig/makeup well.....
Wonder what the next salvo will be?

There Is Just Nothing I Can Say About This....

This is a fantastic post all on its own, it doesn't need any commentary from me! I don't know how many times I went back and reread parts, just because they were so hysterically funny, and so ACCURATE!! (IMO of course!)


       Donald Trump Stunned To Learn Presidency 

                    Is An Actual Job, His First!!




Maybe you’d better sit down for this one. 
According to a report by Politico, corned
-beef dirigible Donald Trump, a skill-free 
inheritance baby with a virtually unbroken 
lifelong track record of incompetence and 
failure, has found that running the United 
States government is a tougher job than 
lending his name to mail-order 
steak delivery scams run by other people. 
Because he is a world-historically stupid idiot who could not tell the difference between his face
and his ass even if they weren’t identical to each other, this has come as quite a shock to him.

“Being president is harder than Donald Trump thought,” begins the article, neatly capturing the 
blithe, criminal ignorance that characterizes both Trump himself and the many dozens of millions 
of morons who thought he should be the leader of the free world. Yes, being the president is a 
harder job than Donald Trump would expect, because Donald Trump had never previously held 
an actual job, because actually, spending your inheritance on a succession of failed cons is not an 
actual job.

None of the revelations in here are all that surprising, if you’ve paid attention at any point in the 
more than 40 years Trump has spent as a professional horse’s ass marginally enriching himself 
off a succession of sleazy branding schemes (or in the over 200 years the presidency of the 
United States has spent being an actual job). The fun is in the wording. Our new president occupies 
a wild outer range of blundering, arrogant stupidity, far beyond that typically euphemized in
newspaper-ese, and the effort to describe the former truthfully and accurately—but without using 
such frank and impolite words as “stupid” and “ignoramus” and “spray-tanned fart balloon”—very 
nearly breaks the latter. 

Here’s a low-key savage example, from the third paragraph:

Yet it has become apparent, say those close to the president, most of whom requested anonymity 
to describe the inner workings of the White House, that the transition from overseeing a family 
business to running the country has been tough on him.

“Overseeing a family business” is great. This is the way you put it when you want to say that the 
president’s last gig was as the ornamental figurehead of a penny-ante hustling operation run by 
his hare-brained children—who even in their vacuity knew better than to let him handle any 
responsibility more sophisticated than ogling the Miss Universe contestants—but you also would 
like to maybe interview him or them at some point in the future. This is what you’re left with 
when the leader of the free world is incapable of thinking and operating and leading from
anywhere in the vast ocean of specificity and nuance dividing “Get me some more cash” and 
“Here is what brand of tanning spray the new press secretary should use, and which parts of his 
face must be sprayed with it.” Overseeing a family business. 

The transition from that to being the president “has been tough on him.” Doing things that you 
are not qualified to do is tough! Who could have predicted that this would be a challenge for a 
butter-soft septuagenarian nincompoop?

I love this article so much. Nearly every sentence contains some marvel of delicacy. The new 
president “often asks simple questions about policies, proposals and personnel.” When confronted 
with details, he “has been known to quickly change the subject” or direct questions to one of his 
chief advisers. His aides “joke that they wish their boss would spend more time at his 
Mar-A-Lago estate.” How many ways can you avoid saying that the president is a bumbling, 
pillow-fisted shit-for-brains, in a story about that exact fact?

Here’s the most incredible example. We learn that after unflattering details (what other kind could 
there be? He’s Donald Trump!) of his phone conversations with other foreign leaders were leaked 
to the press, Trump grew paranoid about National Security Council staffers and launched an 
investigation into the source of the leaks. We also learn this (emphasis added):

In turn, some NSC staff believe Trump does not possess the capacity for detail and nuance 
required to handle the sensitive issues discussed on the calls, and that he has politicized their 
agency by appointing chief strategist Bannon to the council.

The President of the United States of America is too stupid to participate in discussions held 
expressly for his benefit. That is what “some NSC staff” have said, here. Talking to him is a waste 
of time, because he’s literally incapable of grasping what is being talked about, and he just gets 
mad, like a baby. Like a big red baby with a sensitive heinie.

It’s not all bad times and tantrums for Trump, though.

For all his frustrations, Trump has reveled in the trappings of the presidency. He has taken 
a liking to the Oval Office, where he spends much of his time working. Following a recent 
gathering of business leaders, he brought the group into the storied room and showed them around.

Sometimes he wanders around his office, pecking at the shiny stuff, like a fucking bird.
