Nobody but the sick shits and the leeches care one way or the other about Trump's tweets.

Here's an interesting take: I’m shocked, shocked to find that Trump tweeting is going on in here!
Lastly, no one in real America gives a damn what Trump tweets. They just don’t.

All of my years working in grassroots activism taught me one of the greatest disconnects in America is the variance between what the media wants and the desires of the American people. Trump supporters (of which I was not) did not vote for Trump because he was polite and docile (if that’s what voters wanted, we’d be blogging about our third President Bush). Trump was chosen because the “forgotten man” truly believed his interests would be defended where run of the mill politicians had failed them. So far, they’re right. And so far, Trump continues to hold his own against the media bullies, for better or worse.

But the political media will continue to play the perpetual victim instead of focusing on actual news and legislative business, and the rest of America will continue rolling their eyes.

I'd like to hear some more about the cares and concerns of The Forgotten Man again, just speaking for myself.

Tells how clueless the people are. So the only thing Trump has to do is to bitch with the talking heads in the media. That's it. What a saviour of the "common man". Otherwise he can go forward with the policies to get more money to himself and the rich people. Help Wall Street, help the rich, do what his donors want.

Who the fuck cares about common man? What does it mean to care for "the common man".

What he wants is to have income that he can pay the bills, have food and beer and that he gets laid. Anything else doesn't matter. Fuck the outside World. So stop whining about the Forgotten Man. He's forgotten for a reason. You improve his status by creating a better economy and that has nothing to do with listening to Joe-Sixpack and his views.

I put those who care for "the Forgotten Man" in the same category of those who above all care "for the environment". Same kind of stupid lying fucking assholes.

A lot of it is that a perception that people feel they get fucked over by the government.

In Wisconsin where I just moved to, people feel that all their money goes to the two major cities and the locals don't benefit at all from their tax dollars.

Oh looky, America might be allowed to have borders and a say in immigration policy afterall!

:lol:

. . . but he's just enriching himself and tweeting hate speech 24/7.

I'm trying to care, but I'm too busy trying to land a 19% raise by moving to a new position with a new employer before the H1B visas flood the market with cheap tech labor again.
Damn!

Life sux.
More jobs for Americans.
More money in the markets.
Fewer un-vetted outsiders cruising into the homeland and squatting poor neighborhoods while having with no rights, no history, no known purpose for being here.
Fuck.
I see why everybody's mad.
:lol:

Those TWEETS, man.
Did you see those fucking TWEETS?!?!
Office is undermined.
We're clearly one disaster from the apocalypse.
I heard that shit on TV . . . right after I heard about those TWEETS!!!

Now s'cuse me, I got some mad cash to make before we celebrate the glorious Independence of this nation on July 4th.

Lot of spending going on in the manufacturing sector. This is usually the slowest time of year for me and my phone has been ringing off the hook.

Whatever the reason, be it Trump or otherwise, things are growing, at least in my industry.

Interviewed with Amazon and Microsoft for full time positions in the last 30 days.
Unheard of.
Been contracting out here for 13 years.

Going through the process of interviewing with two other employers right now, and have a third that want to talk to me in August.
Please, please, please hold those H1B visas off for just a few more months! I know you can exploit an Engineer with a PhD from India for 85% of my pay rate . . . but just hold out!

I don't give two wet hairballs about Trump or his tweets, or his hands, or anything else.
Just let me get that job before we turn our economy back over to that same ol' cheap labor import/export thing we've been strangling American workers with for the past thirty years.
