The Groping Old Pervert party loves the uninformed, like tRump. President Obama made it look so easy, despite all the obstruction. He ALWAYS kept his cool, measured his remarks, was polite to everyone. The gop could not stand it!! How DARE he be "family values" personified? What nerve. Now along comes tRump, all bluster, full of ego and he can not understand WHY he gets no respect. Crude, rude, blowhard is too ugly for words. Fat, orange bluster is not fit to shine President Obama's shoes. The gop knows it, too.

must be laughing his arse off. What a JOKE he has pulled on the USA. Helping put this buffoon into the WH. tRump does not know his ass from his elbow when it comes to politics. It shows every time he says or does anything. I am expecting him to resign soon, go back to his bankrupt businesses. Take his smirking son in law with him, as well as his daughter/wife.

Worst President in our entire history! The ignoramous and fool will forever be recorded in history books for all time for his true "accomplishments" and actual legacy. Students will someday be reading how tRump didn't win the popular vote by a substantial margin, how Russian hacking, voter suppression and purges, and a rogue and crooked FBI director's meddling handed him the win, how he was incompetent, how the vast majority of the citizenry despised and rejected him and recognized him as illegitimate, how there were serious questions about his mental stability and sanity, how despite a so-called populist agenda, Trump stacked his cabinet with wolves and then he and the GOP pillaged the people's safety net and healthcare coverage, how tRump emboldened groups like the KKK, how they were on the wrong side of history regarding equality for all, women's rights, immigrant rights, and ultimately how tRump was a FAILED and MISERABLE presidency.

This cretin has always been the biggest fish in a very tiny pond of his own making. Now that he's playing in the "big leagues", be better learn to put on his big boy pants and pull 'em up and cinch 'em tight, because he's entered politics, where the sensitive little buttercups get pounded into the ground. Of course, he won't do that. He's simply incapable of that because he suffers from a severe and real psychological and personality disorder. This guy has been used to bossing everyone around because he was the, you know, boss. But being POTUS doesn't confer the same degree of lordship that this idiot seems to believe he has. The only thing I will say that he does have going for him (with no actual personal responsibility for it in the least), is the fact the he will have Congress in complete control of the rethug cronies there, so collectively they'll be able to tell the Dems to just roll over, because they won't be able to come up with the numbers needed to stop their collective agenda.

I find it quite satisfying that this asshole is getting but a taste of the disdain, disrespect, and outright opposition that he and his rethug cohorts heaped on President Obama for the past eight years. But as the solidification of the rethugs in power begins to take hold, this orange cretin with a nasty temper could be the US's very own Stalin or Hitler. In fact, I'd bet on it. It's the only way a total narcissist can govern. The opposition will be silenced, the opponents locked up or "disappeared" ("No man, no problem," as old Joseph Stalin once said). It's only going to get uglier, folks.

He can take this kind of truth in his warped & twisted narcissistic little world. There's no way he's gonna make it 4 years, let alone a year. Seriously the guy has spent more time trying to prove that people like him. What kind of a nut orders his underlings to go & sick the press for telling the truth, that more were at the protests than his inauguration? Right...an orange nut.

48. Our call to action: a Santorum-like Neologism Campaign
Tue Jan 24, 2017, 08:14 PM
Jan 2017
I had tried to post this here a few hours ago, but the NSA, FBI or my clumsy fingers on an iPhone managed to delete it.

The marches around the world were an important first step. Many thanks to those who braved the elements -- meteorological, social and economic -- to get our point across! Well done!

We must keep up the momentum, including those people who were unable to join our sisters and brothers on the march (I had a prior work commitment that I could not break without losing my employment).

Here's what I propose: We should use our collective power to create a Drumpf neologism that would make pRick Santorum's look like a infinitesimal blip on the cyberworld's screens.

Let's use the search algorithms of Google and other search engines to put the term "Snowflake" and its current meaning at the top of the search results for the word "Trump." We should maximize our efforts with social media platforms, including the one that the Unholy One relies on extensively, Twitter. By mobilizing millions of desktop/laptop computers, smart phones and tablets -- in the hands of millions around the world -- we would shine the brightest light on the injustices that the Mangled Apricot Hellbeast and his minions are perpetrating and plan to perpetrate.

Here's the tricky part: how do we avoid being out-maneuvered by his puppet-master, Vlad!m1r Pu+!n and his army of internet trolls? My instincts tell me that the sheer numbers of protestors and our determination will prevail in piercing this very thin skin and provoking a meltdown of epic proportions. If linking the Shit-Gibbon to the "Snowflake" term fails, we move on and find another.

Oh and... Hey, Anonymous: how about doing a bit more than just sending out the occasional video on YouTube to marshall our resources? Actions speak louder than words, and we're waiting...

Trump Aides Keep Leaking Embarrassing Stories About How He Can’t Handle Embarrassment
By Eric Levitz


The president is a 70-year-old child whose TV time must be closely monitored — because any news story that upsets his ego will trigger a temper tantrum followed by irrational demands that his indulgent, overwhelmed guardians will be helpless to refuse.

..............................

And then, on Monday night, Trump’s staffers whispered an even more vivid account of his rough weekend to the Washington Post.

President Trump had just returned to the White House on Saturday from his final inauguration event, a tranquil interfaith prayer service, when the flashes of anger began to build.

Trump turned on the television to see a jarring juxtaposition — massive demonstrations around the globe protesting his day-old presidency and footage of the sparser crowd at his inauguration, with large patches of white empty space on the Mall. As his press secretary, Sean Spicer, was still unpacking boxes in his spacious new West Wing office, Trump grew increasingly and visibly enraged…Over the objections of his aides and advisers — who urged him to focus on policy and the broader goals of his presidency — the new president issued a decree: He wanted a fiery public response, and he wanted it to come from his press secretary.

The Post’s story is chock-full of remarkable details. To list just a few:...............................

Use of the term "snowflake" legitimizes the term as used by the alt right to denigrate the left. We need to identify those who use it as the extremists they are, NOT use the term itself, unless it's used to undermine it's effect by using it on ourselves, ie. "we snowflakes created a storm on Saturday, that will bury the radical right".
