And the vegetables and kale he and Michelle would urge on us. Yuck.

This statement has the same feel of all the âballoon floatsâ this week. Its basically Trump throwing out as many shiny balls as possible to create an illusion that they are hard at work doing lots of stuff in the WH. With the added bonus of he is talking about bombing stuff, which he has found isnât only incredibly appealing to his inner(outer?)child, but also moves up his poll numbers.
Basically, they embarrassed themselves on an epic scale by threatening with a aircraft carrier that they didnât have, they demanded that the Senate come to THEM and then proceeded to tell the Senate nothing noteworthy at all, revealing it was all just domination theater ahead of the 100 day mark, and now seeing that that didnât work, he is flailing around tossing out âwe might go to war with North Koreaâ in a desperate attempt to get the press off of their 100 day stories this weekend.

The point is obvious. No one, Democrat or Republican, should cash in on the presidency or any other public office. Itâs unseemly.
There should be a law against it. I donât care if you disagree.
Perhaps the craziest moment in that interview was this one:
"More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trumpâs mind. Midway through a discussion about Chinese President Xi Jinping, the president paused to hand out copies of what he said were the latest figures from the 2016 electoral map.
âHere, you can take that, thatâs the final map of the numbers,â the Republican president said from his desk in the Oval Office, handing out maps of the United States with areas he won marked in red. âItâs pretty good, right? The red is obviously us.â
He had copies for each of the three Reuters reporters in the room."
We donât need more of this behavior, but we need more reporting of these moments. His base will never know and wouldnât care anyway, but anyone who still has an open mind needs to see the full measure of the insanity thatâs at work here.

I know that adding a response this late is unlikely to get a response itself, but I really need to know.
What is the reason that we would attack North Korea? What are they doing that forces us to do that? I understand that we donât want them to be making nuclear weapons and missiles, but thatâs âwe donât want them to do thatâ. Does the United Nations say that building weapons means that they should be attacked? If Spain or New Zealand built nuclear weapons, would they be attacked?
I am sure that there is some justification for this potential conflict, could somebody please enlighten me?

If the Republicans continue to stand by while this intellectually impaired idiot continues to goad the maniac in North Korea to the point where he feels the need to take some sort of pre-emptive action, it can only be considered a crime against humanity. What further proof do they need that he is just not qualified? Can they read? Can they hear? How is this any different from giving an angry Alzheimerâs patient a loaded gun besides scale?

Except that that wasnât your point. You accused someone here of partisanship, of not caring about Obamaâs âcashing inâ but pretending that they would be âscreamingâ if a Republican had done so. Your entire post was, âIf a Republican cashed in the presidency, you would be screaming.â You got called on your bullshit so youâre now trying to move the goalposts and pretend that you didnât say what you said.
As for your new point, that is also bullshit, since accepting an honorarium for a speech, assuming that such payment is in line what others of a similar stature have been offered, is in no way âcashing in,â particularly if it is done after they have left office. People who have such experience, whether in the military, in government, or in corporate affairs, are all in high demand on the circuit and they are all well-paid for the insights that they bring.
Clearly, you do, as care, as your every post here shows, as do your comments in private mail, e.g., âFUCK YOURSELF, crybaby.â As for the âlaw against it,â Iâll refer you to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Let me know when youâve had a chance to read it.
And whatâs hilarious about this whole exchange is that you completely missed the point of blandstenâs original post that started this whole thing, blissfully oblivious to the humor in that post and the point that he was making.

Iâm inclined to agree. Itâs trumpp being hyperbolic because he has no understanding of how to present an argument reasonably. So âmajor, majorâ (while it reminds me of Humbert Humbert) is just another attempt to say something on a subject of which he has very little understanding. I hope the two or three smart people around him show him the error of his bombast.

This is the most troubling part of the whole thing. What hope is there for the republic when this is what we have to work with?
What an utterly, breath taking, stupid, comment, even from a troll like you.
youâre whining like the snowflake you think you are, about President ObamaâŚnow a private citizen, receiving payment for making a speechâŚin other words, engaging in commerce, while the actual President IN office is violating the Emoluments Clause right and left, on a daily basis. In just over 3 months, he uses the Office to promote his businesses, his daughterâs businessâŚhell, his wife even sued because she felt she couldnât cash in on being FLOTUS in a big enough fashion. But noâŚyou come here to whine about Obama.
Newsflash chucklesâŚnobody gives a shit what you think either.

BreakingâŚTrump offers to adopt Kim Jong-un or be a Big Brother. âHe reminds me of Barron. Iâm sure theyâll get along great. Iâm adding killer dogs to the Mar-a-Lago petting zoo.â
(Note: The spell-check, twice, changed Jong-un to Jong-in and again now as I type thisâŚgo figure.)
I am not convinced there are smart people around him. And even if there were, they all seem to be completely cowed into only massaging his ego and keep his mood up.
Which is a big part of the over all lack of policy issue going on in the White House. Yes, the lack of actual appointments being made is causing tremendous problemsâŚbut those that are in the White House must focus a significant amount of their day to dealing with Trumpâs emotions and feelings. There are only so many cycles in a day, and when you are having to spend well over half of them just making sure that Donald isnât pouting, you donât have time for much else. And you certainly donât have time to have a hard discussion with him that you know is going to cause him to pout.

âThere is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely,â

Could someone shut him up. Things might actually progress diplomatically if Trump would just STFU and let the very few semi-sane heads in his administration take care of things. The last thing this country needs is the idiot in the back heckling his own administration.
