“I was thinking of a payroll tax cut, but I’m not now.” “I was thinking of universal background checks, but I’m not now.” “I was thinking of buying Greenland, but I’m not now.” And that all happened in about one day. Does Trump know what he’s thinking one minute to the next? Of course not. This guy must have the most disorganized mind on the planet. Unfortunately, he occupies the most important office on the planet.
Since Trump has abandoned any effort to curb gun violence, authorities have arrested six people planning mass murders, including four linked to right-wing ideologies.
Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who often fed the media false and misleading information, will be joining Fox News as a contributor. Fox News, where bigots and liars go when they can’t find any other work.
Trump met with the Amvets on Wednesday. He told Medal of Honor recipient Ret. Marine Corps Cpl. Hershel “Woody” Williams, “There’s nothing like the Medal of Honor. I wanted one but they told me I don’t qualify, I said, could I give it to myself anyway, they said I don’t think that’s a good idea.” The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration that is awarded by the U.S. Armed Forces to someone that distinguishes themselves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty. A draft dodger wanted a Medal of Honor. Let that sink in.
Every morning, like clockwork, Trump gets on Twitter to blast everyone that has hurt his little feelings. Can you imagine if we had a woman president that got on Twitter to complain that people being unfair and mean to her? She would be called weak, hysterical, shrill and unfit to lead.
Media outlets report signs of economic downturn! The current resident of the U.S. White House is touting that everything is coming up roses economically! The truth is he may be suffering from Herbert Hoover syndrome, “two chickens in every pot!,” when in reality he may go into a 2020 big, boiling scrap pot.
I truly think what that spineless, little, Trump-hating coward in the Quickly column is really saying is, he hopes we do have a recession. After almost three years of being wrong about everything, Trump the crybaby will be able to toot his mighty horn and say look “I was finally right” about something. Being wrong so often and for so long has to be a heavy load to carry around with such a small spine. At least you have a good place to hide behind your mighty keyboard, where cowards thrive.
The Prime Minister of Denmark is a woman, a strong woman, and she refused to entertain Trump’s ridiculous idea to buy Greenland. She was rewarded by not having to meet with him. This is a great example of a strong woman beating Trump. And it drove him crazy, although it wasn’t a far ride.
These young men shooting people may not suffer from a bone fide mental illness, but they certainly have a personality disorder of some kind. Seems to be some kind of epidemic lately. What has happened to the young men in this country to make them so angry and hateful? They are being led to think that everyone under the sun is responsible for their insecurities, inadequacies, and inabilities to work, get an education and find a partner in life. Buying weapons and killing people does not solve any of those issues.
Our hypersensitive president can be as nasty and sarcastic as he wants to be towards others, but when someone (Denmark’s prime minister, for example?) is nasty and sarcastic right back, he goes into his snowflake mode. “You’re being mean to me! Boo Hoo.” What a precious wimp.
How can Northwest Indiana unemployment be inching up from 4.2-4.6% when every business you walk or drive by has help wanted signs posted? Are we headed back to the old shenanigans where it pays more to stay home that it does to go to work? We need to end that gravy train!
