I know that with the daily "Shit Show in a Dumpster Fire," it's easy to get down, but listen to Uncle Miles for a second.
The "Blue Wave" literally manifested into a BLUE WAVE. It wasn't all talk, it wasn't Fitzmas, it was a BLUE WAVE.
Trump had THREE decisions against him this week by judges he appointed (the Acosta thing being one of those decisions).
He blew that trip to Paris, bigly.
He blew off Arlington, and because he knew the press said he did it because he didn't want to get his hair wet, he did a "damage control" interview and said that he'd just gotten back and had to "return some phone calls," and that since he went to one event in Paris, he thought it was "enough."
People are dying, people are missing, homes are destroyed in California, and he alternates between saying it was caused by poor management and not raking leaves, and having his drones post "We love you California" tweets.
He felt "cuckolded" because Melania demanded the firing of Mira Ricardel in a very public manner, before "consulting" him and asking for his opinion, and that's one of the softest spots on his soft white underbelly. A woman "undermining" his authority? Why, Shirley...you jest. And that woman was his "I don't really care, do U" wife? SHOCKING!
January will be here before you know it. The new Sheriffs will be in town.
Ever read the Tao?
I have the Stephen Mitchell translation, considered one of the best, and one of the life-changing excerpts I read back in college was:
"If you want to shrink something, you must first let it expand."
Since the midterms, Trump's been expanding. And every time he does, it shrinks him a little more.
It's a new dawn, friends. Don't let the daily headlines get you down. Better days are coming.

(989 posts)It could be that he simply doesn't realize that it is spelled "whining", not "winning".
But, now that he is definitely losing...look for even more whining.

(988 posts)What however blows my mind is how folks on the right (Like my father and others) think all of those things are lies or somehow justifies all of them with What if and what about... Why cant they see when ABC News, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, AP, Reuters, New York Times, LA Times, Wall Street Journal, theHill, etc, etc, etc all same the same things and report it the same. Instead they want to claim that they are all fake Liberal msm rags without ever being able to prove anything with a valid source of their own.
What the hell has become of these people and how do you drag them back?

(18,837 posts)Although I'm not 100% convinced, because so far his "I could shoot someone on the street and get away with it" remark has become reality.
Take a look at farmers...he has screwed them over again and again and again, but I've posted articles here that quote farmers saying "I'm hurting, but I still believe in him."
That's the kind of addiction that requires professional intervention.

(90,335 posts)... told them Red Don was a really bad person.
The other percentage is he has never betrayed their fight against the threat of the others (aka brown people) and continues to antagonize the enemy at minimum.
If Red Don were to show some consistent empathy towards non whites he'd lose a good trough of them in a split second.

(90,674 posts)Considering we are a "donor state" when it comes to federal taxes, it is the least he could do.
How's that?

In other words, his first tweet meant: Your fault. Not sending money. Too bad, so sad, wouldn't wanta be ya.
You can read the entrails and tell me if he really means to do anything meaningful.
