Paul Ryan once explained the GOP healthcare bill to Trump. Trump reportedly sipped a Coke, peered outside, stared aimlessly at the walls and, finally, walked out. Ryan kept talking. Trump went to watch TV. Pence had to retrieve him so they could continue.

There was a story yesterday about White House aides being ordered to get screen captures of all the cable news chyrons, which they then print and hand to his majesty in a folder. That's the limit of his "intellectual curiosity."

I don't get why so many nice folks here keep on posting things like.....

-how low can he go
-how bad can it get
-we need to get rid of him
-wrong with him?!
-doesn't care about anything except himself
-trump is a joke
-he is dangerous
-how did this happen
- trump is an idiot
-he needs to go
- he doesn't know anything
- why is he doing this

and on and on and on over and over and over.. same thing, day after day after day...

It's is like reliving something bad that happened instead of trying to correct the mistake, move on to the next step......


We need to move beyond that, however we can. Maybe spend that energy fighting back in whatever way we can, each as he/she can... INCLUDING ME!

I keep wondering if some on here just do not want to understand how a malignant narcissist behaves. If they understood it thoroughly, then they would stop asking why he does X Y or Z, or why he doesn't understand A B or C. This is a guy in his 70's and he is not going to change at this point. So stop wasting your energy trying to figure him out. Spend your energies trying to do something about the things you can help with.

The orange buffoon is worried about all the money he owes the russians, he is worried that the russians may put a little bit of that poison they like to use in one of his humberders, his constant day dreaming with trump Moscow is also something that keeps his little mind occupied, thinking of Ivanka... I mean, these are things that would keep anyone's mind busy and not open to listen to boring stuff like being 'presidential'.

So please, be more understanding.

He is mega-unqualified. He is also medically, emotionally, and cognitively unfit for even a school board.

He has an administration and a family teeming with criminals and incompetents.

He is a traitor and a bigot who has no empathy and listens to the worst of the worst media trash.

He hates the environment, women, minorities, and peace.

History books will not be kind.

I feel Mueller will wrap his investigation on January 21, 2021. The joke's on us.

from the congregation? What a nothing burger this fat waste of space is. Excuse me, nothing berder.

Ryan is a bad person, clearly. His legacy will be as one of the weakest and hypocritical Speakers in history, with a bar set so high it will never be exceeded.

But Trump? Trump is hardly even a person. Why in hell doesn't he just quit a job that is obviously beyond his "great brain" to handle, and move the hell to Russia where I'm sure the man he loves more than any other, Vlad Putin, would put him up in a nice dacha on the Black Sea where he could watch TV for a few months before being poisoned by one of the help?
