Fucking moron

Is this for real? Spanky thinks he should have fired Comey the day he won the primaries? That is, months before he took office? While Obama was still president? How was that supposed to work?

I'm confused.

Or maybe somebody else is.

to hell with democracy even.

He is so demented he doesn’t understand that President Obama was the president the day he (Trump) won the primaries.

too much credit. He isn't demented, he doesn't understand the system AT ALL. You were right the first time. He's an idiot

clue.

Trump spoils everything, even Mario kart -_-

Because the alternative...ew...just ew.

and got all saggy.

I like playing Mario Kart 8 with my son, now I gotta think about Trump's dick driving around in a go cart?

This isn’t an interview, it’s free/association babble. Really strange shit.

but what if he knew the Russians were going to fix it for him? And he knew that the moment he wont he primaries, he was a shoe-in.

/exits wild conspiracy theory territory.

I'd like to think he's just fucking stupid.

I don't want Trump to turn me into a weird tin foil hat enthusiast. But I did wonder...

But Occam's Razor is like - it's not that fucking complicated, he's a nutjob.

"what if he knew the Russians were going to fix it for him?"

What if? Of course, he knew. Please, please, please don't fall into that normalization trap that Republicans and the teevee news started pushing the moment Russian influence was reported. He knew. Doesn't mean he's not stupid as fuck.

Because I forgot to add exactly what you said: I am firmly convinced that he the Russians were going to fix things for him. Even if some consider it "wild conspiracy theory territory."

(This is what happens when I try to be clever and witty on a message board when I'm that tired.)

If he weren't, he couldn't even come up with this stuff. He has never, for one moment, in one tweet of thousands, shown even a shred of evidence that maybe, just maybe, he actually does know what's going on.

" plaid shirt guy's" expressions on that!

that is the least depressing explanation for this...

He thinks his life is all part of his reality TV show. Comey was in his life therefore he had the power to fire Comey as the "head" of the TV show (aka, his life).

No doubt he said it but the administration might scramble to get rid of it. There is a video on one of those links with the host describing what Trump said, but not the actual video itself.

This would be awesome in video form. You really wouldn't need anything else to define his caliber.

For fuck's sake, what the hell is wrong with the Republican Party to let this shit go on as long as it has?

What percentage of his deplorables do you think actually believe he could do that?

I'm guessing at least one-half (and I'm being kind)...... ........

I posted this story on the track website letsrun.com. During my post I wrote that at least 60% of his base would believe and agree

at some of the things they believe he has done and can do, with some almost seeing him as a deity.

Sometimes I feel like we need to send around half our population back to K12 for another round....

are one big reason why our schools in America continue to do badly, in pushing up the grade point averages of all students. They're the ones who expect that they should land a big paying job w/o doing any hard work going to school or studying. They're the football captains and prom queens who are still stuck in their fantasy world of high school, and never grow up. They're the ones who gripe about those who sacrificed a lot, not going out, working part time to pay for school, bring their brown bag lunches, etc. They called us 'nerds'. So be it.

So, while a lot of us were working our tails off, the rest of them (the rump crowd) were buying 6 packs of beer, boozing it up, snorting, being meth heads, and the like. And unfortunately in the process, killing themselves.

Hypocrites. They think that they can make fun of others for their accomplishments when their own accomplishments pale significantly. No wonder they are attracted to rump, who pretty well fit into their group, of no accomplishments, and have a big mouth. They simply are jealous of us.

Maybe they'll wake up someday from their hangover or worst, and realize the truth, that they are the only ones who can change their lives for the better, and quit blaming everyone else.

The group you discussed certainly is one of many the Repugs have captivated, and it was an easy one.

I think far more crucial to understanding the ones that should know better is understanding how the GOP's brainwashing machine has used human emotions to appeal to so many. We know that beginning back in the 60s and 70s, they built a secret array of think tanks to win over more of our electorate by any means.

While traveling around the US in field service work for many years, I noticed a lot of racism and resentment in high school and college educated folks that surprised me. These were mostly maintenance, construction and management folks. I'm still not sure how they got brainwashed, but I suspect right-wing talk radio started it all, then Faux News came along to give them another dose of that shit in the evenings after work. And, there was nothing on our side to counter-balancing against it.

No matter how smart or how well educated we are, we're all vulnerable to fear. The GOP carefully selected certain segments of our population and figured out how to induce some form of fear into each: people with a little wealth, people with guns, religious people and of course, white people. The ignorant folks were the easiest of all.

It's obvious they care only for achieving control, wealth and power for a select few and will use any means to achieve it. With the enormous amount of wealth that's behind them, it's hard for me to be optimistic.

......

gullible as Pavlow ringing a bell, and they start drooling and that people know when they are being 'brainwashed'. With the commercialization of America, we've been bombarded w/ literally millions of ads over our lives and thus aren't so vulnerable to one thing or another since if we get one impression one second, it's gone in another second, and so forth.

I really do feel that people aren't so easily driven by fear mongering, and that we are more intelligent than this, and know when we are being 'played'. However, two groups come to mind quickly that I feel are somewhat gullible (and I apologize to any of you reading this post if you physically fit into either of these two categories): (1) old men and women (2) younger, inexperienced kids.

This is strictly my observations and opinions, old men tend to be more set in their ways, and not changeable. They're the ones I find myself asking 'WTF?!' after I've talked to them occasionally. Older women are more patient I think (from raising families and just being patient w/ life), and tend to listen more than others before 'flying off the roof'.

Young kids are just simply starting out, and don't have enough life experiences to know whether they're being taken for a ride or not, and also eager to please, and very peer-driven. I find that w/ the ones that we deal w/, they are cordial and nice, but not as outspoken as we are, and thus, are amazed at our frankness in dealing w/ various people and things. The things that seem to be important to them are not the same things that are important to us (this is the same for everybody of course).

Perhaps I'm naïve in that thinking people are so easily driven by fear, or by being 'played', and I tend to believe that perhaps I'm a little bit naïve...I guess I gave too much credit to the human race at one time. Not so much now.

Take care Mr. KY_EnvironGuy!

WTF?

you don't let dogs drive cars.

Mnuchin and Kudlow convinced him it would boost the GDP.

They would say Uber need more competition. Another win!......

won the nomination? Oh and NO COLLUSION! LOL!

Good luck!

His probably does imagine that he has the power to fire anybody from anything. This “man” is so disconnected from objective reality that he should be separated from the presidency immediately.

But Republicans kind of like what they’re getting out of their newfound love for a fascist regime. The entire crew is a mere whisker away from sporting swastika armbands. They’re inflicting 45 on the entire country because of all the mindless deregulation and lifetime appellate judgeship appointments, all going on while everyone’s eyes are diverted and fixed on his latest tweet.

Please say yes and I'll have him packing up his desk by noon . . .
