    sick he'd even compare himself with Reagan.... or say: "I'm really smart"....

    "Genius has never known its own name"....

    best thing could happen to Trumpet; take away his Twitter acct; and don't allow him to speak in public, to the press, anyone, not even foreign dignataries; put Bannon back on his knee as the talking ventriloquist dummy for all public speakeasy.... Or Scaramouche, he's more Donald's mentality/type, i.e. Meyers-Briggs....

    not that I'm for such (Bannon), just can't think of anyone else who could translate for Trump...

    Other than the oz of skunk and 3 Happy Meal's, I don't take that literally; but how does one not take the literary facts, as literal.... or Trumps own words/Tweets, rambling speeches more often than not telling us how great he's doing, and how smart he his..... how do you not take those words literal....?

    where I'm going wrong....

    clipped from The New Yorker Jan 15th Issue....David Remnick-

    Future scholars will sift through Trump’s digital proclamations the way we now read the chroniclers of Nero’s Rome—to understand how an unhinged emperor can make a mockery of republican institutions, undo the collective nervous system of a country, and degrade the whole of public life.

    Last week, when Trump returned to Washington from Mar-a-Lago, he set a White House record with a sixteen-tweet day. He behaved less like a President than like a teen-ager locked in his room with an ounce of Purple Skunk, three Happy Meals, and a cell phone. :biglaugh:



    Trump believed that he would lose the election, but would multiply his fame, his fortune, and his standing in American life. To near-universal shock, however, he won. And the consequences followed. Trump has no comprehension of policy and cares about it less. He surrounds himself with aides who are either wildly incompetent or utterly defeated in their attempts to domesticate the mulish and bizarre object of their attention. There are no lingering illusions about the President’s capacities: Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump “a fucking moron” and spared us a denial. Wolff’s book, which leans heavily on interviews with Steve Bannon, makes it plain that pretty much everyone in the President’s circle agrees that he is, in terms of character and intellect, fantastically limited. There is no loyalty or deliberation in the White House, only a savage “Lord of the Flies” sort of chaos. Each day is at once preposterous, poisonous, and dangerous.

    Scandal envelops the President. Obstruction of justice, money-laundering, untoward contacts with foreign governments—it is unclear where the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation will land and what might eventually rouse the attention of the U.S. Senate. Clearly, Trump senses the danger. A former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, has been indicted. A former national-security adviser, Michael Flynn, has admitted to lying to the F.B.I. and has become a coöperating witness. The President sees one West Wing satrap and Cabinet official after another finding a distance from him. “Where is my Roy Cohn?” he asked his aides angrily, according to the Times, when his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, defied his wishes and recused himself from the Russia investigation.In the meantime, there is little doubt about who Donald Trump is, the harm he has done already, and the greater harm he threatens. He is unfit to hold any public office, much less the highest in the land. This is not merely an orthodoxy of the opposition; his panicked courtiers have been leaking word of it from his first weeks in office. The President of the United States has become a leading security threat to the United States.

    to be fair, Jonah's next Ark de Jour-

    "Dear Reader (including those of you with merely average-size nuclear buttons), It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at the downfall of Steve Bannon."

    "Bannon can’t help but make himself the story. No man is a hero to his valet, particularly when the valet thinks he’s a world-historical figure in his own right. That’s why this is all so hilarious. No one destroyed Bannon save Bannon himself. In his effort to fellate himself, he overshot the target, crammed his head up his own ass, and now finds himself confused and alone in a dark corner of his own making."

    ...Steve fucking Bannon; wtf did this ass hat think was going to happen when he decided to release his acerbic book?

    ...and make no mistake about it, the publicity the book is getting for free was surely intended to do exactly what it's doing, selling books.

    ^^^can't believe that Trump of all people, actually had the gall to say that the nation's libel laws need to be changed so that people who slander other people will be held accountable.

    ... can't make this shit up.

    ^^^ no kidding. If the USofA didn't have a system of checks and balances, imagine how quickly Trumpet would of became a Dictator. I truly believe as much. He'd off NBC, CNN, and anyone, any entity that didn't fellate him. He'd toss victims of his harassment in the Gulags to shut 'em up. Hell no one would be safe....

    between (b/t) his Mein Kampf mentality, his inarticulate ramblings of how great and smart he is, his fkng tweets, all expose an unstable freak who I believe never thought he'd become a potus, and no doubt is unfit to be one....

    Trump will never 'get' anything. He took Mein Kampf Literally....

    still no collusion, just obstruction of justice, possibly treasonous on Russia.

    Fired Comey, with aides facing felony charges. Is the heat this hot, Trumpets still trying to strongarm Apprentice Congress....

    in other words, GOP cover up my ass, and remove this probe up my ass, it's all a partisan witch hunt, even tho' Mueller's a GOP....

    there was a day and time, when American's looked up to their POTUS, with respect, admiration of a great Man in a global arena, who emulated all that's good in the USofA..... how long's it been: JFK, Reagan....?? sure as hell will never be this mega dick head....

    If a elected potus reflects the will of the people of the USA, then we're all bigots, who don't care for the ill-fate of those less fortunate....

    Rob it's 2018 and that Merica has long gone away.

    To even remotely get back to that stage will require a massive cultural shift. It can be done, but a whole lot of victim oriented groups need to get their hats handed to them. Not to mention revamping education and bringing back respect for the rule of law.

    Oh and blow up iTunes and bit torrent sites. You like the song? Than buy the fucking album.

    1- lol, thanks for t/reminder, I tend to live in the past, but you know that....

    2- glad you brought iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, et al, the bit torrent sites aren't paying Musicians if at all. If I'm not mistaken, the only way a Musician gets paid today is by touring; which eliminates the elder statesmen/women....less Clapton, Young, a few others who still can. I read David Crosby was asked to tour in Europe, yet didn't wouldn't couldn't, cuz he'd lose money.....sad ~!~

    Actually from what I've heard they do get like .0001 of a cent if that at all, lol. Sorry state of affairs. Ya' ever think about switching professions to Politics Tote? I'd vote for You....!!!

    ...of course, we could simply hope that we could somehow win the lottery for the privilege of being included in the interplanetary recolonization of Earth.
