ParticipantThis is our president:

I would just say, “good god, what a loser.” But that’s something you say about someone who means nothing. This narcissistic buffoon is our president. He’s a menace to our country.
If you’re one of the millions of con man don voters who still think he’s doing a good job, stop watching fox. It’s not news. It’s propaganda. It, and you, are ruining our country.

Guestzk, this shows how irresponsible Republicans are.
I met this very nice but uneducated woman from Dakota who teared up watching Lee Greewood’s God Bess the USA at the Bellagio Fountain. Then she started to talk about Syria in a totally uninformed manner. She’s not a Trump supporter because there’s some diversity in her family. He uncle lives in San Diego and married a Japanese woman he met in the Navy. But she could have been a Trump voter.
People like that lady are so easily manipulated by nationalism and patriotism; and that’s exactly what the Republicans are doing. They are failing that test of leadership which is to lead while educating and enlightening.
Yes, our country is being destroyed. The cynical in me is thinking “screw ’em dumb asses.” I have more in common with cosmopolitans (I use this word in a literal sense) in New York, LA, Tokyo, London, Berlin… than people in middle America. I just hope that technology will allow us to link together to advance progressive universal values in resistance to demagogue politicians.
May 17, 2017 at 9:27 AM #806533GuestThe sad part is that the deplorables think that the establishment is taking down their man; that he’s not responsible for all he’s done.
Rather than take reaponsiculity for their own lives, they will blame the TPTB, the global elites, for whatever misery they suffer. Such irony…. people who preach bootstrapping ending up entitled whiners.
June 16, 2017 at 3:00 PM #806880ParticipantI initially wanted to keep a running tab here on this thread of the ridiculous/stupid/ignorant/dangerous/bad-for-the-country/insane/foolish/unfathomable/selfish/infantile/paranoid/immoral/hypocritical things that con man don was doing – or trying to do – as president. You know, for posterity. So people could look back and remember just what it was like in this crazy time and just how consistently, terrifically horrible con man don was as president. I realized a day or two after he took office that I wouldn’t have time to do that. And it’s accelerated since then.
If anybody here has the ‘nads to admit that they still support our president, I’d be very curious to hear why.

ParticipantI support him, because after he’s done (if we survive without nuclear holocaust), he’ll make the GOP unelectable for the next 20 years.

Don’t we wish. As long as they have fox propaganda and the rest of the right-wing propaganda machine, they’ll be fine. Seriously, if they can get this buffoon elected, they can get somebody like Kasich elected without breaking a sweat, even post-trump.
June 17, 2017 at 12:30 AM #806883GuestI support Trumo because he’s unmasked the deplorable elements of America.
It’s up to honorable people to shame them into submission.
Trump voters are like segregationists of the past. They are on the wrong side of history and only bring shame to their families. If my parents were Trump voters I wouldn’t talk to them until they apologize.

You can’t shame somebody who thinks they’re right. And even if you could, I don’t think submission would be the result.

Well it takes time…. It’s only now that progressive cities who want to be part of the creative economy are removing monuments to segregation.
Trump voters are the last hooray of nationalist culture, which is very 19th century, early 20th century. We are now in 21st century postnationalism of universal human rights.
Shame the deplorables, boycott them, whatever it takes.
July 6, 2017 at 11:58 AM #807095GuestTrump is not only screwed up on a humanitarian level, he’s making us all poorer.
Trump is squandering our competitive research advantage in green tech and renewables.
China is moving ahead with a $1 trillion infractruture project for the developing world (Belt and Road) not counting the home projects. China just completed a train in Kenya that will bring them influence and goodwill in Africa.
China, Canada, Australia are working on a trade agreement.
TPP countries are kissing ass to China
Europe and Japan have a new trade agreement.
Our brand image, our most important asset, is being eroded all over the world. People are laughing at us. Maybe Trump is marking the end of the American Century.
We are so screwed. If you care about money and wealth you need to get rid of Trump.
August 8, 2017 at 7:43 PM #807590ParticipantIt keeps getting worse.
Threatening North Korea:
He’s just a flat out moron. He should be trying to sound firm and reasonable. Instead he’s trying to sound like a tough guy. And then he can’t even do that right. He just comes off like a 12-year-old, and a not-very-bright one at that.
August 8, 2017 at 7:55 PM #807591ParticipantDidn’t the Norkies threaten to blow up Guam first?
August 8, 2017 at 8:17 PM #807592Guest[quote=spdrun]Didn’t the Norkies threaten to blow up Guam first?[/quote]
Guam came after. So now, what is Trumo gonna do after the Norkies crossed the red line he just set?
