Kinja'd!!!

I am posting about a column written by the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan . Peggy Noonan generally annoys me with her conservatism beyond the point where I can make it halfway through one of her columns. Here, she soberly lays out her concerns about the current POTUS. It’s not good.

It makes sense that conservatives are hopping the ship as soon as trump is becoming less popular than herpes.

Don’t forget that 2 months ago she was declaring trump the next Reagan. Even the sun sometimes shines on the proverbial dog’s ass.

It’d be nice if this was an ember of hope for R’s to put nation over party but it’ll be snuffed out the next time a leading democrat says something stupid and easily twisted out of context. Like next Tuesday.

Yeah. I don’t want to post only glib, useless things. That Peggy Noonan has shifted course, I believe, is worthy of note. I am astonished at what a poop show this is, and I don’t assume that Trump actually believes in anything he puts forward. It’s all about the show, and stirring poop.

70 days? Seems like 70 months or even 70 years.

I’m waiting for something to blow up (figuratively). I have no doubt there’s a lot related to Russia that hasn’t been aired yet.

This regime will make Nixon look like Lincoln.

Prominent conservatives have been popping up here and there for nearly 2 years now. They’ve kept falling back in line with few exceptions.

Don’t forget the adulation he recieved for not sticking his foot in his mouth in that joint congressional speech. Short lived, but many people in politics and media are desperate to push a normalized competent political narrative if trump would just let them.

It’s fun when even NPR says there is rampant incompetence! This guy needs to drop dead of something, I don’t care what. It’s one thing to have a person who you don’t agree with, but he is just a piece of shit as a person, professionally, and has no idea what he’s doing. Narcissistic, psychopathic man child. This clown rollercoaster can only get crazier, I keep waiting for something pretty nuts to happen. Who knew it was so complicated! Well let’s just go play golf in Florida again!

No, let’s have another RALLY! At taxpayer expense, of course...

Seriously, I could not believe it. Oh I feel lonely and I miss people chanting my name and agreeing with me, so a rally? I was just hiding in front of the tv watching disgusting people I agree with on Fox.

Annoyingly conservative is not the same thing as lunatic.

http://www.dancarlin.com/common-sense-home-landing-page/ Dan has been talking about the “legislating while insane” after the next 9/11 event. With a person who has shown to have such thin skin, I can’t contemplate the reaction when something bad happens.

about a year Sam Harris had a quote along the lines “if I would describe the president, is going to review the facts, speak with experts and make a sound cool decision, when comparing trump and clinton, there is no way you could say that sentence referring to trump.”

It would be entertaining if the ramifications weren’t so great, it has been interesting watching 2 of my coworkers go in circles trying to justify his tweeting “he’s new to the job!?!?!?” “he reached too far with healthcare”

It was the first thing he said he’d do/fix!

Kinja'd!!!

Last year I heard the phrase “you’re over reacting, he’ll calm down after the election” “we need the adults back in washington, to run this country”. Do the adults tweet at 6 am? The odds of a 70 year changing their habits is about as slim as winning the lottery.

One day, Trump will be overtaken by ‘Events, dear boy, events,’ and then the Repugnuts will reap the whirlwind

The opposite of pro is con . What is the opposite of progress ?

honestly, I pegged him as a narcissist long ago. Orange Julius Caesar is far more enamored with the idea of being “President Donald J. Trump” than he is with actually being president. He’s incredibly vain.

there was a thread on TTAC yesterday where someone advanced the notion that Trump’s win is “burning the barn down to rebuild again.” But given the regressive policies of the people he’s surrounding himself with, I don’t think anything is going to get rebuilt. The barn is going to be burned down, and- like Detroit- is going to be left as a pile of scorched rubble while a handful of people make a lot of money.

honestly, to me an honest-to-God conservative isn’t a bad thing. IMO “conservatism” doesn’t mean “opposed to progress,” it means “we need to think things through and be sure we take a carefully considered approach to progress.”

Unfortunately the (R)s are not conservative. they’re regressive. They want America to “go back” to something it never was. They watch re-runs of Leave it to Beaver and think they’re documentaries about 1950s America.

we are governed by a crowd of 70-year-old infants.
