New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Tuesday fired back at President Trump for baselessly suggesting that an elderly protester — who was shoved to the ground by two Buffalo police officers during an anti-police brutality protest last week — could be part of the amorphous anti-fascist movement known as “antifa.”
So I’ve always assumed that Trump has some kind of reptilian or primate-survival base intelligence, but after this tweet, it’s obvious there is nothing of the sort. How could someone 15 pts behind in the polls think this was a good idea in any fucking reality? No answer needed.
Interesting how both of these men are about the same age, have lived in the same part of the country, and yet one is a total piece of shit. (Gugino and Trump, just to clarify)
It’s wrong to judge this latest tweet on its merits, outrageousness, recklessness, or whatever. It’s not even red meat for the base. It’s not just trolling.
The entire point of Trumps exhalations is to poison thought, to create a pervasive skepticism. Some people to believe that anything is possible, and that therefore the most paranoid fantasy is credible in proportion to the absence of any evidence.
Because this will be the moment that all the white folk wake up and realize that they’ve been brainwashed into joining these hoax marches and run back into the loving arms of Dear Leader who is the only protection they have against the inevitable creep of oncoming socialism.
Cuomo has been an invaluable messenger for the Dems. Trump keeps messing with him and Cuomo keeps knee capping him. He has helped the party enormously this year.
It’s very true that Trump arrives by an instinct for bullshit at the same place Putin did as a conscious, planned strategy with the help of Vladislav Surkov. But I’m troubled by the idea that some see him as a conscious planner himself, crafty and subtle. He’s a fucking moron, as has been noted by astute observers in a position to make that judgment. He sees life on a comic-book level of lurid baddies and saintly heroes and he’s as gullible as any senior citizen who ever fell for the Windows Technical Department scam. He’s a stupid, stupid man, and he’s severely mentally ill, and the sooner we realize that the sooner we can crawl out of this twisted heap of metal we call now.
