January 30, 2017 By Taegan Goddard
First Read: Of course, competency or a lack thereof has been a stumbling block for past presidents, on matters big or small. Think Hurricane Katrina for George W. Bush or the Healthcare.Gov website for Barack Obama. But whats extraordinary about all the chaos resulting from Trumps travel ban is that it 1) came less than two weeks on the job, 2) came from an executive order, and 3) was on a campaign promise. So this wasnt a response to a natural disaster, or a computer glitch caused by a contractor. It was an early priority for the administration and they didnt have their act together. Also, note that much of the criticism coming from Republicans is on the competency angle.

Example:
1) We fax a new "service agreement" to ten thousand of our vendors, which they've never agreed to and in fact haven't seen before.
2) We put one person on the inbound phones (me).
3) Many - read hundreds - of our vendors get the fax and call to dispute the new "agreement."
4) Many more call to complain that we're sending this fax multiple times, or calling their cell (back when every minute cost).
5) Chaos ensues. Manglement refuses to put another person on the phones. Fun times.
Incompetent. Yep, that's the word.

(16,862 posts)From the moment Trump announced his campaign, he made it his quest to align with the worst of America, saying the most vile and bigoted things to gain support. Then, in the primaries, debate after debate showed that the man was completely incapable of rational or coherent thought and he exposed himself as an intellectual lightweight and a thin skinned narcissist, time and time and time again! Yet the media igorned this because it played to their ratings. Meghan Kelly is "bleeding from wherever", Ted Cruz's dad was chummy with Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife was a psychological wreck, the judge who ruled against him must be biased because "This judge is of Mexican heritage, and I'm going to build a wall", Hillary was crooked and encouraged "lock her up", he cheered when protesters were roughed up at his rallies, "grab her by the pussy" was no big deal because it was just "locker room talk" and now, only after he's done EXACTLY what he said he wanted to do, are those in the media cluing in to the fact that this guy is unhinged. They danced with the devil and gave him the platform and they normalized his irratic and ghastly behavior. Now we are paying the price for it. Perhaps now they will see the light. What price we will pay as a country remains to be seen

(21,744 posts)Anyone with any intelligence at all could watch this guy with the sound turned off and know he is out of it. His facial expressions, his hand gestures, his WWE quality acting out would all be pretty good indicators that this guy is a few bulbs short of a chandelier.
Then, turning the sound on would remove all doubt.
Time to just chalk one up, GOP and do what even you know what is best for this country and the world. Then you can run again as a sane party.
