And keep doing it, repeatedly until they curl up into the fetal position crying.

Commandments 5 thru 10

Also he has committed all the 7 Deadly Sins:

Originating in Christian theology, the seven deadly sins are pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, and wrath. Pride is sometimes referred to as vanity or vainglory, greed as avarice or covetousness, and wrath as anger. Gluttony covers self-indulgent excess more generally, including drunkenness.

And none of the 7 Heavenly Virtues:

These seven virtues are:
Chastity,
Temperance,(no booze. But Adoral.)
Charity,
Diligence,
Patience,
Kindness &
Humility/humble.

I have heard 45 deny that he does any of that stuff. He is the most compassionate, generous, kindest person ever on the face of the Earth...cough, hack, wheeze...nausea.

He couldn't have thought that, much less have written it.


I always feel like throwing something whenever I see his face.

13. Oh, c'mon! He was reading a script

One written for him by some RNC-paid pedant. The wartime draft-dodger thought he’d aced an audition for a four-year prime-time gig on network TV.
That writer is now probably scripting cable-TV infomercials, because the audience is basically the same: hard-of-thinking tube-boobs.

Meanwhile, the RNC is long past clutching for straws over how they can possibly survive — let alone win — on November 3. And there are damn few straws left to clutch.

Fuck ‘em!

And after January 20 2021, Covid-Donnie will be auditioning for a new role, on the real-life version of “Orange is the New Black,” along with his spawn.
I’m going to enjoy watching that unfold!

21. A previous prime minister of Australia once said
Tue Apr 28, 2020, 03:23 AM
Apr 2020

"There are core promises, and there are non-core promises."

In practice, it mean that he was free to label some of his pre election promises as 'non-core' and just ignore or reverse them.
The ultimate weasel words, really.

Trump would like him, seeing Trump is the master of the non-core promise.

Come to think of it did Trump actually make any 'core' promises before his election that he has delivered on?
