"Trump has skin thinner than his wife and an ego bigger than my ass." says Helen

of Margaret and Helen.

Margaret, somebody called me an elitist because I think Trump and his supporters are morons. I wasn’t’ quite sure what being an elitist means these days and I am pretty sure most people using that as an insult probably don’t either so I looked it up. After all, I’m just a little ole’ gal born in Georgia and I am not sure I qualify to be an elitist.

And I am in good company. They said Meryl Streep was an elitist after her speech at the Golden Globes. You remember, don’t you? That moving speech she gave where she dared to say that we shouldn’t mock the disabled and a free press was vital to our democracy… What an elitist that Meryl is. How dare she make speeches about standing up for the disabled and defending the Constitution! Wait… what’s an elitist again?

You know Margaret, I was feeling lower than a snake’s belly in a ditch after a rain shower about this election. Kellyanne Conway is so good at lying… I mean telling us what is in Donald’s heart. And I thought to myself that maybe I should give the man a break. Maybe Trump deserves a second look. Maybe I should show some respect for the office to which he has been elected. But then I thought, nah he’s a moron and I’m an elitist who doesn’t think a society or a system should ever be led by a moron.

For goodness sakes, he’s not even trying to rise to the occasion. The man is tweeting about national intelligence agencies one minute and Saturday Night Live the next. And shockingly he is paying attention to the latter and ignoring the former. Damn right I’m an elitist because I actually do think society should be run by someone with superior abilities instead of an idiot who can’t prioritize security briefings over comedy sketches.

These women are a hoot. For the whole piece, https://margaretandhelen.com/2017/01/17/trump-has-skin-thinner-than-his-wife-and-an-ego-bigger-than-my-ass/

1. Margaret

I understand some folks are planning to wear black on Friday in protest of the inauguration. I will be in black as well as Howard, but we will be attending a funeral of another kind.

4. Trump is too thin skinned to last long

5. He's too stupid to last long

He's not a smart man. He's a con man and a bully. That's about it. Except for a couple of real estate deals, every business he has been involved in has gone belly up. The only way he made money on real estate was by stiffing contractors, suppliers, and employees.

He has an attention span of about five minutes and no ability to handle multiple tasks.

Come Friday morning, he will be briefed on what he is not responsible for, the threats that face the US, and thing he must decide on. If he is smart, he will have a large box of Imodium at hand.

Here's a rundown of what Obama faced on Day One -- which despite what Trump says, starts the second he says "So help me god," not the following Monday.

6. I think 5 minutes might be a bit generous...

Even he can thumb out 140 characters quicker than that.

7. Helen has done an excellent job of saying what I've been trying to say in defense of elites.

The good kind.

Damn right I’m an elitist because I actually do think society should be run by someone with superior abilities instead of an idiot who can’t prioritize security briefings over comedy sketches.

An elite athlete knows how to win a game. An elite army knows how to win a war. An elite President knows how to put down his smart phone and look the nation in the eye and apologize for his inappropriate behavior. Hell. You don’t even have to be elite. You just have to be decent. Decent enough to admit that it was wrong to make fun of the disabled. Admit that it was wrong to have disrespected and then denigrate women that way. Decent enough to tell the American people that you’re not perfect but you’ll strive to be a better president than you were a man. But we don’t have an elite as President-elect.

Call me an elitist. It’s a badge I will wear proudly. I’d rather be an elitist than the racist, misogynist, mouth-breathers who voted for Trump.
