Good Lord....

My idiot co-worker just said that Trump was the best thing to ever happen to this country.

And Joe and Mika deserved everything they got because of all the awful things they've said about him.

He also said that Trump is one of the most brilliant men ever. "You wait and see."

No words.

That yuge! swoosh of flame is great! and the risk of injury or death just makes the taste of the burger better, I guess.

Just wait and see. (snort)

Don't knock the ingenuity of the toilet Q/ice chest combo! When the zombies take over we might need those kinds of ideas.

"You wait and see. This country is going to be so much better than it's been the past eight years."

Did I mention he's racist as well?

If he thinks he can, he is as stupid as Palin. The President is under constant scrutiny. This goes way beyond anything he has experienced. So many people to expose his lies...every time he says them. Someone, a few days ago, posted on Democratic Underground..a New York Times article about all the lies that he has publically said since his inauguration. The list was amazing. And also, some publications are keeping track of those lies. As was just shown..Trump can think he can bluff, but it don't work now. Not with us.

They listened only to right wing people,, like themselves. Also, they are close minded, and when presented with truth, they still refuse to believe it. I recall that with the Nixon corruption and illegal doings..up to the time of resignation..there were still 25 percent that believed he was being treated unfairly..That was in spite of all the evidence that was brought out..including the missing time on the tape..It didn't matter to some,,(yes some)...he was not being treated fairly. That is what they believed. Of course they were wrong..but that is who you are dealing with..Me too. I hear it once and a while from a few people I know. just a few..

After five months, it should be readily apparent, and it's not.

But write what he said down on a piece of paper, and put today's date on it. Show it to your co-worker, and ask him to initial it (or change it to his specification and then initial it). Every month or so, pull it out of your desk drawer for a little show-and-tell.
