According to administration officials who heard about Trumpâs complaints and spoke with the PostâŚ
Seriously, this is the leakiest administration. Ever. And some of the leaks are harder than others to figure out what the âadministration officialâ is trying to accomplish with the leak.
LOL spoiled babyâs having the worst Christmas ever. My own dumb old DOJ is investigating me and my dumb old hand-picked by someone else SC justice rules against me and I donât love you any more! (stomps up stairs, slams door)
If you donât like him, fire him.
President Donald Trump is concerned that his Supreme Court darling Justice Neil Gorsuch ⌠is too liberalâŚ"
âLock him up!â
Mob bosses have a hard time comprehending that other people, even the most partisan, might find value in the Rule of Law.
Of course, Trump is ignorant of American institutions and never thinks of anything higher than his belly button, so the learning curve is insurmountable.
Todayâs Court decision means that Congress must close loopholes that block the removal of dangerous criminal aliens, including aggravated felons.
Thereâs no way Dump wrote that.
Has anyone told him yet that he canât fire Gorsuch?
Think Trump just doesnât understand Gorsuchâs conservatism. That said, some Jesuit education in Gorsuchâs background, so maybe a liberal seed planted somewhere?
âAggravated felonsâ?
Mr President, you should be worrying about aggravated voters.
Thanks Donald for saving me the time of watching Seinfeld reruns to make me laugh this a.mâŚ
Thatâs what happens when you give someone a lifetime job. They realize they donât have to listen to you anymore.
Trump doesnât have âtyrannical tendencies,â he is, in fact, a bona fide tyrant.
ââ71-year-old white man yells, grumbles, complains, and has temper tantrums.ââ
Standard boilerplate headline.
Iâm not offering new insight here, but he just doesnât grok the idea that the whole federal government doesnât work for him personally and absolutely. Donât like Trump Org policy, just change the policy, because I am Trump Org. Doesnât have to be coherent or consistent. Change that shit day by day if you want, because you rule by decree.
Glad we elected a lifetime businessman (well, âbusinessmanâ) to make things work properly.
GFY, Dotard.
Take back our country!
Run for office- and run FOR something! Donât just run against Trump. Youâll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some peopleâs minds, that âthe elitesâ are out to get their man.
Get REAL specific, too. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. Show whatâs needed and show how to make it work. THEN point out the differences between having a plan and vague promises to work on a plan âvery soonâ.
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 itâs 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! Todayâs 12-year olds will be voting for President in 6 years. Make sure theyâre 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 weâll redraw Congressional Districts. Make them fair and open. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about âvoter fraudâ!
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, thatâs the American Association of University Women. And while weâre here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you donât already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.
Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots.
And like all things tRumpâŚthis was a predictable remark too. The message is obviousâŚI put you there, you owe me your fealty. Too bad its a position for life and now he canât fire him. So with Gorsuch, weâre all screwed. Great, just great.
Doesnât tRump have a sister thatâs a retired judge? I would love it if someone like Rachel Maddow interviewed her.
Iâm not offering any new insights myself but with the current occupant we dwell in a constant state of shock-not-surprise because weâre astonished anything remotely like these things could happen ever, once, let alone continually day after day. James Fallows, one of the best journalists alive, said during the campaign that Trump would not be nominated or elected because weâve never had a candidate for president with zero relevant experience. He acknowledged he was wrong, of course. But that lack of experience is one of the things that contributes to our morbid fascination with this utterly bizarre situation. SMH
Trumpâs tweets have been shaped by operant conditioning. His tweets are reinforced by the attention he receives for them, but sometimes the attention is immediate and sometimes the attention is delayed for whatever reason (other news to cover, for example). Given this intermittent schedule of reinforcement, Trumpâs tweet strategy becomes more diverse â sometimes not tweeting for a few days, sometimes being as absurd as possible using all caps and parenthetical asides, sometimes trying to act like a good boy by tweeting what he thinks is the socially acceptable thing, sometimes raining down tweet storms. Increasing the frequency of tweets has been reinforced, since the probability of attention goes up with the pace of tweets. The only way to extinguish this behavior is to withdraw the attention, which is about as effective as a boycott on purchasing goods practiced by coalition of countries that is violated by a non-participator. Moreover, since Trump has learned to increase the frequency of tweeting in response to intermittent attention, the result of a moratorium of coverage may be the opposite of its intent, at least initially. Iâm afraid Trumpâs neural circuitry has been altered by this feedback loop and that his Twitter obsession is in fact an addiction. My prescription is to give him a series of quick, short, sharp shocks, delivered under a physicianâs care, until his behavioral repertoire has been reset to a more adaptive modality.
