Says the man who’s every action is tough to watch.

Totally not mocking the disabled. He’d never do that. Much too kind and gracious…

Well, obviously he lacks time to watch television. /s

Amazing, isn’t it, how often The Trumpudlians have to explain that Trump didn’t mean what he said?

Besides, we already know what Trump thinks of persons facing physical and developmental challenges.

There is no limit to Trump’s grotesque megalomania and inappropriate behavior.

What an assh*le. All he had to do was keep his effing mouth shut for one sentence, but no.

No question what he meant.

Tough to watch just like the guy bleeding to death on the floor that he was too disgusted to help.

And his defenders will have no choice but to defend the indefensible.

And now, more hijinks from Trumplandia: Interior Secretary Zinke wears his ranger flat hat backwards.*

Soon after becoming a Jr. Ranger, the bear, having been brought back to life by a mischievous, but ill-tempered fairy, turned Zink’s hat the right way round by twisting his head 180 degrees.

*How can one tell? The hat band should read USNPS from the front.

Be assured, he meant that he lacks time to watch television.

Meanwhile R’s don’t want him anywhere near them in the midterms. “Boundless self assurance”, such a nice way to say he’s clueless and stupid.

Congressional and party leaders and even some Trump aides are concerned that the president’s boundless self-assurance about politics will cause him to ignore or undermine their midterm strategy. In battleground states like Arizona, Florida and Nevada, Mr. Trump’s proclivity to be a loose cannon could endanger the Republican incumbents and challengers who are already facing ferocious Democratic headwinds.

Republicans in Washington and Trump aides have largely given up assuming the president will ever stick to a teleprompter, but they have joined together to impress upon him just how bruising this November could be for Republicans — and how high the stakes are for Mr. Trump personally, given that a Democratic-controlled Congress could pursue aggressive investigations and even impeachment.

‘‘Tough to watch’’ is what we experience every day as
–our country becomes the butt of jokes around the globe
–the GOPers on Capitol Hill dismantle health care access, roll back environmental and financial protections, and obstruct justice
–white supremacists get access while people of color don’t
–lies repeated frequently become truth
–ad nauseum

Given Trumps history of complaining and failing to adhere to the ADA on his properties. Mocking a disabled reporter and overseeing an administration that is to put it charitably not interested in disability rights it’s hard to give him a benefit of the doubt here.

“… he meant that he lacks time to watch television…”

Right, Yeah, sure. Uh-huh.

This site, https://www.runforoffice.org/, allows you to enter your ZIP code and see what offices are available to you and the filing window for that office. They also have a few video short-courses on running a campaign. In my state you file for office during a 1-week period in May.

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. Meet your neighbors and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump, and half of all voters stayed home last November. HALF! Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 6 years. Make sure they’re prepared.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly. And get on your Planning Commission.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020 when we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Make them fair and open. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about ‘voter fraud’!

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led voter-run-around campaign help them do that. This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table. Yes, that’s the American Association of University Women. And while we’re here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you don’t already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.

Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots.

It’s not his hat that’s on backwards, it’s his head. Common misconception.

And when you spend about $180k on a door, you probably lose the incentive to spend time in the great outdoors.
