Trump stinks.
And Bolton is his mascot.
Stay upwind, America.
Stay very upwind.
Is Bolton his mascot? Or is Bolton's Walrus moustache his mascot?
The moustache is Trump's Charmin.
I just spit my coffee all the way to Philips County!
Bolton's mustache is distant kin to Trump's caterpillar [ "Prior to this election season, the animal was known as the Flannel Moth Caterpillar or the Asp Caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis)" ]
Orwell's prediction about Doublethink is getting closer as right-wing media companies gobble up hundreds of TV stations and newspapers:
Sinclair is in the midst of a $3.9 billion bid to take over Tribune Media, and needs the DOJ to approve it. They are polishing Trump’s knob hoping for a favorable ruling.
The Trump Disciples are complicated folk. Do you reckon anyone of them remember this? Any over/under which TV channel Fluffy was glued to last week?
It's time for VG to come up with something new about Trump. The usual "Trump stinks" mantra is getting really old and boring.
What really stinks for me, though, is Century Link's internet service, which is somewhat of a political issue. I pay for high speed. On Saturday, two days ago, the speed was about what I used to get with the old dial-up. Unfortunate, because it took me about half again as long to get the work done that I had planned to do. Doesn't make much sense to talk about getting high speed broadband into rural areas of the state when we don't get consistent high speed in urban areas.
I've thought about switching to Comcast. But have heard their speeds aren't consistently fast either. So………..
Neither CenturyLink nor Comcast are 100% reliable. I homeofficed for about 9 years — first with CenturyLink as my internet service provider, then adding Comcast when Centurylink started having intermittant reliability issues. I finally switched completely to Comcast and it was pretty reliable until it too started having intermittant outages (for awhile, it was predictably failing each morning right when I was having my daily staff call — I wound up dialing in from my Verizon cell phone as backup).
Comcast keeps trying to entice me to switch to their cell phone service which I find laughable, given that the only way to find out why there is a Comcast network outage and when they think it will be resolved is via their web service.
The only solution is to have a secondary internet/phone provider. Performance-wise, I suspect network congestion is a major contributor, as well as ongoing spot outages in their central offices, due to maintenance and/or equipment failures.
The global tech company I worked for had massive datacenters around the world, with highly redundant services. However, more than once, a single point of failure would bring down wide swaths of our servers, affecting productivity worldwide. 🙁
One of the best rural internet providers in the nation is Plains Cooperative Telephone Assoc. They are one of those dreaded socialist organizations that made rural America great (yes, they gladly accepted Obummer grant money for the project)
Uh, oh — you mean a government program that "Gets Sh*t Done"? Trump's people will have to look into it and if true, put a halt to that!
Actually, CHB, it's time for Trump to stop stinking. But he won't. If you don't like to be reminded of the stink, don't read the post. But stay upwind, anyway.
It's important.
Like any successful narcissist, Trump highly values his brand with an extensive offering of merchandise including Trump Fragrance. Perhaps Voy if you keep it up he will get the message and start his own branded line of deodorants in both stick and spray.
UPDATE AND CORRECTION: Upon further research, Trump actually does have his own line of deodorant. Trump Empire Deodorant.
I shop at Wal Mart with the other Deplorables so I’ll never buy it.
The perfect gift for your liberal friends Voy.
And for what it is worth, my weekly check-in with the Gallup organization finds that Trump approval continues to be underwater, with 39% approval and 55% disapproval.
What continues to baffle me is the relative consistency of approval (35-40% since last June) without reference to events AND that 6% apparently can't decide if they approve or not.
Wasn't there a big surge up to 41% last week?
Different poll. Gallup has been 39% for the past couple of weeks, at least.
Another day of the stock market rallying on more fantastic news from the front lines of Stormy’s john’s easy-to-win trade war . . .
China Slaps Tariffs on 128 U.S. Products, Including Wine, Pork and Pipes
https://nyti.ms/2uDS14f
. . . anyone left in the Republican Party who isn’t tired of all this winning, yet?
I don't think it ever occurred to him that if he crapped on others, they would crap back on us.
I have to give the Chinese credit for their selective tariffs. CNN had a map of the ten states that are hurt the most by the Chinese tariffs and eight of them voted for Trump!
Let's wait for Moderatus to tell us how wrong we are and how great everything is.
Trade wars are easy to win.
Trump's trade war with China could very well be his Waterloo:
If that eventuality does come about, expect our village idiot Fluffy to show up leading the cheers.
That legacy might have trouble . . .
. . . who says Republicans can’t do funny?!?
I spoke with a banker this morning that told me regulators are putting enormous pressure on them to no longer accommodate accounts tied to (agricultural) hemp activities – in particular Colorado operations. What the eff is wrong with these people?
Hopefully that will change if Mitch McConnell's Hemp Farming Act of 2018 passes. The Denver Post touted it just yesterday in their editorial:
The Sessions toadies apparently haven't gotten the word yet.
Senator McConnell has been really good on this issue; he was the co-sponsor of the Senate version (S.134) in the 114th (which the media never really reported on). We have a big thanks to give to Senator Bennet who fought to keep the Polis House amendment (7606) in the final bill in Dec, 2014. The just-passed Budget Act even includes language to encourage USDA to make grants to farmers related to their legal hemp enterprises under 7606. To do that, the farmer would have to deposit said monies into their farm bank account.
McConnell has committed to sitting down with Sessions to get this ironed out (Session's Alabama is a legal state).
One could drown in the irony of all this.
How long have we been saying that ______ will be Trump's Waterloo?
He'll just lie and tweet that the economy is great. And Fox News will repeat it, and his base will believe it, even if their daily reality contradicts it.
That's less than 35% of the voting population, but they would rather believe Dear Leader than their own lying eyes.
And the two that did NOT vote for Trump, the areas mostly impacted by the Chinese tariffs are Republican Representatives' districts.
My favorite Bismarck quote:
"The biggest lies are told immediately before the wedding, right after the hunt and in the middle of the political campaign."
Bismarck also said: "No rumor can be considered confirmed until it has been officially denied. "
So what has Sarah Huckabee Sanders denied so far today?
Quite apropos, since there probably isn’t a single john on the planet who has done more recently to make the public aware of sexual assault: . . .
https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/03/30/politics/donald-trump-national-sexual-assault-awareness-month/index.html
And, fittingly, the Trumpublicans in the Colorado Senate have planned their own special commemorative awareness tribute . . .
This could explain the recent absence of our beloved Nutlid. He's busy on another project:
Russian bots are rallying behind embattled Fox News host Laura Ingraham as advertisers dump her show
Any word on the final delegate counts in each party going into state assembly?
Yes
Why?
Grantham's speech is a very slow-moving stream of consciousness.
