Us pigs do not want to be compared to Trump
We feel that to say he is one of us........
Is an insult to all of us..the good, the clean, and the dirty...
.......Yes, some of us are not perfect.
.......But all of us live in a way that is respectful of other pigs..
And...Mr. Trump is not respectful of anyone......or any animals....
......Mr. Trump is not a pig, ..he smells, he is a skunk.........


THANK YOU....in respect of all pigs.....

He used to be a contender. What he said used to matter.

I'm old, though. I remember lots of people who most people don't remember. Hell, I remember Ike and Joe McCarthy, too. They're dead, now. Bill Kristol's still alive, but nobody much remembers him except us old folks. He's an old ascerbic conservative, as I remember.

But, nobody cares what he thinks any more. He's no longer a spokesperson for conservatives. He's just another old man who used to be somebody. There are lots of those around, still, but nobody listens to them any more.

I understand that, better and better each year...

--PNAC, Rebuilding America’s Defenses (1997), p51.

He was head of the PNAC - whose manifesto urged that the US be able "to fight and decisively win multiple wars on multiple fronts." Quite a few of those PNAC signatories NEVER saw combat. So I wonder who they propose to send out to fight those "multiple wars on multiple fronts", 'eh?

He's the editor of the Weekly Standard knuckle dragger paper. And he used to be taken a lot more seriously. Bill Kristol is acclaimed, by now, for being famously and spectacularly wrong about most everything on which he picks a side or makes some high-sounding pronouncement.

...and we should remake the world in our image, that they did not consider what if someone even more craven, more incompetent, more downright evil than Bush* were at the levers of control. At least Bush* had somewhat competent people surrounding and enveloping him because they knew his capabilities and his shortcomings... those were already baked into the mix. With tRump*.... nope, nothing is a given, nothing is logical. Our national elections yielded THE WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME with the tRump* regime: these aren't patriots that love their country. No, these are grifters and cons and political charlatans and with no sense of national purpose nor Presidential decorum.

I despised Bill Kristol. He apologized for that asshole for 8 long years--and always with a shit-eating grin on his face. Now that he's actually telling the truth about our current asshole-in-chief, I don't want to punch him half as much as I used to. 😉

On the other hand pigs ARE the "domestic" animal quickest to revert to feral if given a chance.

Every time I've seen Kristol on TV, he's been a stoic, calm guy speaking in a proper, measured, almost sleep inducing monotone.

And here he is throwing invective like this!

It just goes to prove - Trump's bringing out the worst in us all.
