Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
... wait I'll answer that. Yep ... he is. Questionable? Nope, he isn't.
TravelerJim, where are you now?
And Trump ... 'Brexit' yep, he's all over that one.

Oh well, the above link works, and it's iconic. And Trump is still out there, dumb as a bag of hammers)
To save the world let's just hope that there's enough of the soft 'Deplorables' who might somehow morph into the 'What-Have-I-Dones??' and vote to give The Imbecile a minority in November.

All you need do, Smiles, is wait until the mid-terms and then vote in your congressional district and state (if the senators are up for re-election) whoever is anti-Trump. Oh wait, you're not an American, there's not a single solitary thing you can do. I'd be learning some Stoical philosophy if I were you - https://aeon.co/ideas/to-be-happier-...n-your-control
It's like those people who are wringing their hands over Boris' latest defense of the right of people to dress how they like while looking completely stupid (and has been defended by a senior Muslim cleric). I'm with Boris by the way; I think the world would be a much better place if the burqa was mandatory for all women (that's not what he's saying just in case you're in any doubt). But there's absolutely nothing I can do about, so I'll get back to that other form of fantasy that at least does give temporary satisfaction - porn

I don't know, but I'm waiting for tomorrow (Monday), as court houses are open again.
Seems to be moving along very quickly now, and the house of cards is falling quickly.
Will be awesome when Mueller finally releases that report. Then the whole world can relax again.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
He's racist, extremely right wing, misogynistic, posts unpleasant things about third world nations, denies everything, tries to bully anyone who disagrees with him, sexually questionable, blunders into subjects only to display his ignorance and is generally unpleasant. However I fear that if they were going to get rid of him they would have done so by now. So unfortunately we're stuck with both Trump in the White House and Scottish Guy here.

Mueller has already conceded that he will abide by the Justice Department convention that sitting presidents cannot be indicted. Therefore the only route to Trump's removal is impeachment. There is right now no road to impeachment based on the numbers, and little likelihood of one after the mid-terms

"However I fear that if they were going to get rid of him they would have done so by now. So, unfortunately, we're stuck with both Trump in the White House and Scottish Guy here."
Arsenal, while I loathe Trump with every fiber of my being ( I lived in New Jersey where his Casinos went bust and worked in NYC where he has zero support ) I must say it is not this simple. We don't have a parliamentary system. With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, there is no ability to vote a charge of impeachment. Even if the house changes in the mid-term elections there is a question of whether the Senate will flip ( house brings charge but Senate is the court ) it's very unlikely that the new majority will be strong enough to have the 67 ( out of 100 ) votes necessary to convict.
Nixon was driven from office when his own party told him to resign. The Republican party of today demonstrates the utter polarization of modern American society. We are in the throes of the last stages of the culture wars. Trump was put in office by people of the "flyover states" the ones we fly over because there is little reason to land. A cultural "joke" that is, sadly, often accurate.
If it were a matter of simple majorities he would never have been in office. I hope, each and every day, that the Muller report will have such devastating proof that the Republicans come to fear the majority of the electorate rather than the narrow base they cater to. Remember, he was put in office by 78,000 votes ina few counties across three states. The Republicans ,during their time in power , were able to draw insanely distorated consituency distrticts that they are now trapped in. You reap what you sow.
Probably, our biggest hope is that if Democrats capture the House of Representatives their new control of the house committees, armed with the power of subpoena, will rip apart the veil of secrecy and support the Muller findings. The flood of scandal and corruption might be overwhelming.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
I fear you're crediting Trump supporters with too much intelligence in thinking that the penny will eventually drop - this is the sort of thing some of them genuinely believe:

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
You may be right. I was outlining the process and giving as much hope as possible. The video you posted is not an outlier by any means. This is the grist of the mill that is our culture war.
These people are, however, a minority. Part of my hope for the next elections is that Democrats capture enough state houses to be in a position to control the new electoral maps mandated by the ten-year census.
I know our system seems strange to others, well it's strange to me. A quick note: our US system is, in fact, a legacy of our colonial past. The British Crown did not export a shire system with central power to the American Colonies. No, they set up 13 separate Crown Charters that are the legal genesis of our States Rights issue. All our seemingly crazy systems are a result of the need in 1789 to form a union of 13 independent sovereign entitiess. Think EU and arguments about what a sausage is - it's frustrating to me.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Paborn. Trump is so far away from most people's sphere of experience in terms of a western democratically elected leader. My advice, as a political student is simply to 'get the beers in, kick your shoes off, park your arse on the sofa and enjoy the show'. Hand wringing won't change anything. This is a man drowning in.his own inabilities.
-
Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Your totally right. I watch absolutely none of his speeches. I'm merely anxious to point out that his support is a declining minority. Our system allowed this minority to impose their will - it's hell for the rest of us. I wanted, out of embarrasment, to point this out. it's theh most commen remark most Americans make among ourselves - shame.
-
Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
You can't watch any of his speeches. I just tried again this morning, when he was announcing the new US-Mexico trade deal.
You simply can't comprehend what the fuck he's on about. It's almost as if he's talking some language other than English.
Not to mention, it's quite obvious now he's just a Russian agent trying to destroy Western democracy, so that can't be good.
-
Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Thanks, I seldom get to agree with you. At least Trump brings some people together. I turned off the same announcement. It was like listening to an untutored child.

Trump aside, the deal appears worthy in achieving two objectives
(1) Mandating higher minimum wages - more auto content must be made by workers earning a minimum of $16/hour
(2) Applying more pressure to China’s economy by moving some manufacturing from China to Mexico

Perhaps. But, more likey it's simple mystification. I have no idea what he's ranting about. But, he can't help trolling me - it's a mental disorder I think.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
I see The Donald now wants to regulate Google searches as he didn’t like what he saw when he googled himself. I was interested to read in another thread of the admiration one of our American posters has for Trump’s authoritarian practices, hoping that I might be referred to a “state actor”. It’s a funny old word
-
Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Yeah, I got a chuckle out of that too. Apparently, even Google is now fake news too.
Complaining that every time he Googles himself only negative stories comme up. Well, then quit doing negative shit all the time! It's not that harrd.

If you Ignore him how can he be trolling you? If you keep saying that you are Ignoring him every time he posts arent you trolling him? Just saying.
-
Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
"If you Ignore him how can he be trolling you? If you keep saying that you are Ignoring him every time he posts arent you trolling him? Just saying."
I have never responded to any post of his posts since I ignored him. It is rather interesting, at least to me, that he responds to everything I write. I'm sorry this bothers you but you consistant harping on the point begins to look a bit like trolling - just saying.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Trump obviously hated McCain - the flag not flying at half-mast at the White House is just one symptom of his paranoid personality. Everything has to be about Trump (as this week's Google stories show). McCain was clearly a good hater too, as the comments about his funeral orators keep coming out. Bi-partisan, yes - but anti-Trump definitely

For the overly excitable here’s an assessment of whether the Democrats will set about impeaching Trump. Spoiler alert - possibly not

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
I bet they do impeach. And I bet there's even a chance it comes out that Trump is actually broke, and can only continue his businesses due to a revolving line of credit from Russian oligarchs.

Ah yes, another of Matt's famous "I bet" statements. As I recall a previous "I bet" from Matt was for $5,000 or some trifling amount; I took him up on it and I won (sceptics often do). I'm still waiting for my money. Happy to accept Bitcoin, Matt

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
I find your constant defense of the Freak quite touching. I'm sure he appreciates it.
The Freak posts immediately after me, therefore he is:
1. Actually attacking anything I say or,
2. More "freaky" he is taking care to say nothing directly about me. Just making sure he posts right after me. He does this to draw me into, what would appear, to be an unreasonable attack on him.
I suspect he is doing number 2 because that is the ultimate example of trolling.
In American classrooms of the 50's we would signal a teacher that we had to do number 1 ( take a piss) or number 2 ( take a shit ) - it is highly symbolical that all the Freak ever does is shit on everything and everyone.
That's your explanation. Don't expect me to respond to your defense of the indefensible.

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
Jesus christ is Trump ever a petty, demented old man...
First he can't even manage to say a good word about McCain. Now he's actively trying to fuck over Canada in trade, because back just after the G7 summit was ending, Trudeau said to the news he'd stand firm and defend Canadaian interests. Considering he's the Prime Minister, you'd kind of hope he'd say now.
Pissed Trump off though, so that's it, going to try and fuck Canada as much as he can now. And if Congress gets in the way, he's throwing a tantrum he promises.
What a cunt this guy is... I bet he'd love to annex Canada if he thought he could get away with it.

Whilst it is perfectly usual that school kids have to ask permission to go to the toilet, am I the only one that finds it bizarre and not a little concerning that your teacher wanted to know what variety of voiding you intended to do when you got there? Or have I misunderstood?
Oh and what if you had wanted a number 3 :D Did you just lie about that?

Re: Is Trump the dumbest human being on this planet ... ?
It was a universal practice. I believe that number 1 meant you would be quickly back, number 2 took longer. I know, I know......... but, it was the fifties

No, I don't really care. Yes, we all already know, Trump is a fucken lunatic, and most McDonalds are run better than this Whitehouse. It's nothing new.
What I'm really looking forward to is the release of MUeller's report. That should make for a good read. :)

What do you expect its immediate impact will be? Me, I think it's like posters who continually moan about SGT (on other Boards so I'm told - I only read SGT and only ever have) and have delusions that somehow the purity of their hopes will make SGT a better place. We had another one of those last night in the "weather" thread. The Mueller report will have no impact without the political will to impeach Trump, unless you think it will maybe influence some of his rusted-on supporters to vote for someone else in 2020. Otherwise it just feeds the confirmation bias of the chattering classes
Here's a link to a discussion about the book - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...oron-liar.html
