THE ERA OF TRUMP

[K@th]

Kath, you are making the same mistakes as the media. That's Trump jingling the keys and getting you in a lather.

I'm hardly in a lather. It's annoying. It's childish. It's petty. It's mean-spirited. It's assholish.

He's truly President Cry-Baby. Wah... I am telling the truth. My inauguration was the BIGLIEST EVER! I WON THE POPULAR VOTE TOO! My penis is the bigliest. Belieb me.

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Ooh, aah, mother, should I build the wall?

Mother, should I run for president?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh, aah, is it just a waste of time?

... not sure how to respond to this. Are you unaware of how well Trump fits the dictator-image in The Wall? Or do you see this as a positive?

It's a positive if it means you are going to Gitmo.

I've decided to just start taking that as you stompin your feet when I nail you for being stupid.

[Speaker to Animals]

LOL, what?

[SuburbanFarmer]

LOL, what?

You use it all the time when I smack you in the head with how wrong you are, like a Get-Out-Of-Debate-Free card. It's a punchline that stopped being funny months ago.

So sit there, in your impotent rage, chuck a beer can at your dog, and tell yourself how clever you are again.

I am trying to understand why you think you somehow defeated me by repeating the intent of my post?

Yeah, that's Trump. He's not a practiced Statesman, he hasn't studied political science for decades, he didn't intern with politicians, he's a business man who built his empire based on real estate and construction and he talks just like a New York construction worker too.

Trump has broke the mold for the US. He is the only POTUS we've ever had who has never held a government job. We shouldn't expect him to act and speak like standard groomed politicians. For instance his taxes will never be released, but Hillary and Obama and Bush will all day long. That's because the others are politicians and have set up their tax returns to be pleasing to the eye of voters.

Actions and results always mean more than words.

Actions and results always mean more than words.

I agree. There is very much a wait-and-see attitude here at Casa de Kath & Nerd. We're watching very closely and so far, we're seeing a lot of childlike behavior. I know boatloads of people who are both non-politicians and not giant adult babies at the same time. It's TOTALLY possible to not be both.

This giant boondoggle that we're going to pay for is a way to say he created jobs. Nobody seriously thinks it will stop people from overstaying their visas. We're literally going to stop dozens and dozens of people for the low low price of BILLIONS.

It's pronounced big league, not bigly.
The "cry baby" angle is all just jingly keys to distract the media and the Trump haters, and they are falling for it, big league.

At the moment there are so many outrages, executive orders, protests, and controversies that none of them can get enough oxygen in our brains. I can’t obsess about problem X because the rest of the alphabet is coming at me at the same time.

When you encounter a situation that is working great except for one identifiable problem, you can focus on the problem and try to fix it. But if you have a dozen complaints at the same time, none of them looks special. The whole situation just looks confusing, and you don’t know where to start. So you wait and see what happens. Humans need contrast in order to make solid decisions that turn into action. Trump removed all of your contrast by providing multiple outrages of similar energy.

You’re probably seeing the best persuasion you will ever see from a new president. Instead of dribbling out one headline at a time, so the vultures and critics can focus their fire, Trump has flooded the playing field. You don’t know where to aim your outrage. He’s creating so many opportunities for disagreement that it’s mentally exhausting. Literally. He’s wearing down the critics, replacing their specific complaints with entire encyclopedias of complaints. And when Trump has created a hundred reasons to complain, do you know what impression will be left with the public?

He sure got a lot done.

Even if you don’t like it.

On my facebook feed, the progs are congratulating themselves on forcing Trump to reverse his alleged censorship of climate scientists with their outrage. They really don't get that it was fake news the whole time.

[SuburbanFarmer]

I agree that it's an effective seizing of power from the people. We're in his world now, and that is not comforting.

But hey, he said some stuff about how we're going to be in charge, so that's great.
