We live in post-apocalyptic times. The previous link between valor and gallantry is no longer operative. In fact, to reveal too much sentiment makes one suspect.
Bitterness, bullying and nihilism are the features, not the bugs, in this Trump romance.

Iā€™m simply trying to evoke a sense of wonder at the depth of his oafishness. Itā€™s not the Grand Canyon or the Milky Way in the desert sky or a spiderweb bejeweled by the morning dew, but itā€™s pretty breathtaking in its way all the same.

I thought thereā€™d be more rubble, but the fun never ends and Iā€™ll be careful what I wish for/note the current absence of etc.

Regarding the spawn, from Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff

ā€œTheir father took some regular pleasure in pointing out that [Don Jr. and Eric] were in the back of the room when God was handing out brains,ā€ Wolff wrote, ā€œbut then again, Trump tended to scorn anyone who might be smarter than he was.ā€

Ivanka was the designated smart person. Iā€™m still waiting for the evidence of that.

I like hearing authentic regional accents. I hate hearing them mocked or faked or affected.

I have a Texas drawl (and I donā€™t care who donā€™t like it).

Oh I think she knows how to play the game better than Daddy, but sheā€™s into Daddyā€™s shit hook, line, and sinker.
I truly believe that she may not have been as venal as dear old Dad, but not any more. Sheā€™s playing at being concerned about women and their lives, but she knows nothing about normal working women. She doesnā€™t understand how much juggling there is when you have kids, career, and no nanny(s).

Some Trumpers will peel off because of this remark.

I think some will, and heā€™s lost a lot of support IMHO because he tends to confirm the poor opinion others have of him by acting poorly. I never tire of pointing out that even his supporters say he shouldnā€™t do all the tweeting, because you canā€™t explain them away. As they accumulate the only possible explanation for the awfulness in them is that heā€™s awful. There are only so many times you can walk into a darkened kitchen at a party and find your spouse making out with someone in there before you reluctantly admit there might actually be something to all those rumors youā€™ve been hearing.

At this point, the rubble is mostly internal.

That was hilarious, Mr. President, more of this please! See, itā€™s so funny because Southerners are so stupid theyā€™ll vote for you anyway! And this will put you in solid with those Midwesterners (who arenā€™t peeling off your bandwagon at all) and their so-called SAE because they hate the way people from Alabama talk. Brilliant!

Rubble, no. (At least, not yet.)

Rubles, da. And plenty of them.

I love this. More please. Show up everywhere you possibly can, dear leader, and continue to shit everywhere, on everyone. Iā€™d wager there were a lot more nervous murmurs in the crowd than ever before. Fatigue has got to be setting in. Iā€™ll bet thereā€™s a meeting every day at FOXs to discuss the risk in backing him for another 12 hours.

Well, the audience liked itā€¦

But in all the dialect stuff, I think we miss, DJT wanted and AG, who would interfere, on his behalf, in a criminal investigation.
