Could play Lincoln with Lee.
Hahahahahaha

But its a stupid fuckin game to start with…

Afterthought. I could play that Tibetan Llama bloke with any rightwing yank
christian pastor nutter type just to get started….
Oh and that Tesla inventor prat, paired with that cocksucker Churchill.

It doesn’t matter which quotes refer to whom mikeN, because

* it is widely accepted that Jobs was a real dick as a boss and a person
* it is widely known that Jobs was a successful businessman, responsible for pushing out one of the most innovative items in the recent era, the Iphone (regardless of your opinion of it, its influence can’t be denied)

It also widely known that
* Trump is a shitty businessman
* Even more of a blatant liar than Jobs
* Has no clue what he’s doing as president
* Is an all around vile person: racist, bigot, misogynist, serial marital cheater

Seriously, did you really think you had anything resembling a “touche” point in that drivel?

‘It was as if [his] brain circuits were missing a device that would modulate the extreme spikes of impulsive opinions that popped into his mind.’

‘He would assert something—be it a fact about world history or a recounting of who suggested an idea at a meeting—without even considering the truth.’

‘He was not a model boss or human being, tidily packaged for emulation. [He] could drive those around him to fury and despair.’

‘The key question is why [he] can’t control himself at times from being so reflexively cruel and harmful to some people.’

Which of the above quotes are about Trump and which are about Steve Jobs?

Liberal talking points keep changing. Before the claim was that Steele ‘dossier’ wasn’t used to get FISA warrant. Now it’s that it was used for warrant on a former employee but not on campaign. Soon it will be yea they spied on Trump Tower as Trump tweeted; it would have been wrong not to do it.

Trump:

“I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ You know why? Because we’re so stupid … And I thought they were smart.”

Stupid. The operative word here is ‘stupid’.

People respond to confidence. It’s shorthand for the hearer meaning: he apparently knows what he’s talking about, so no need to think about it.

I hate to do this but, Star Trek TNG:

CRUSHER: I mean, you’re acting like you know exactly which way to go, but you’re only guessing. Do you do this all the time?

PICARD: No, but there are times when it is necessary for a captain to give the appearance of confidence.

Of course Trump is a whole different order of critter, if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it, and Trump lies all the time. But basically he’s a bullsh*tter. He just can’t turn it off…

And in barrooms all across America, blowhards face down in their beers are saying, “Hooray! He’s just like me!”

“Rules for special counsel state that they are appointed for criminal investigations and prosecutions”

You mean like guilty pleas, indictments, and impending trials? Check …

What I find particularly remarkable is the ability of the so called “American” Republicans to contort their core beliefs into a knot to allow them to defend a morally bankrupt

Why do they do it?

a. He isn’t black
b. He isn’t black
c. The modern right has never cared about morals, integrity, honesty, the poor, minorities, or the economy, they only care about men who aren’t black

A recent survey of evangelicals contained over half (in the survey: I forget the margin of error so can’t say what the estimate for entire group was) said the affair with Stormy Daniels wasn’t a moral failing. (Of course, evangelicals’ core is racism, so…)

I am amazed at Trump’s willingness to tell lies that about things that are trivial, especially when it is trivially easy to show they are lies. Step back to when he began talking about the stupid idea of tariffs (not needed) and trade wars. He stated repeatedly that the US was running a deficit with Canada — it was pointed out that that simply was not the case, with lots of conservative, left wing, and government sites rolling out the statistics to show it was false. He then said that he knew it wasn’t true, but had used that line in a discussion with Trudeau to apply pressure and kept it up publicly to carry on the pressure. Then it came out that no such talk (phone or in person) with Trudeau had occurred, that was a lie as well. The last I knew he was back to the trade deficit bullshit.

If Greg didn’t have a guy posting here who routinely spouted his own lies in defense of Trump’s lies I wouldn’t believe any single person would ever do so.

What I find particularly remarkable is the ability of the so called “American” Republicans to contort their core beliefs into a knot to allow them to defend a morally bankrupt con man whom the constitution clearly calls out for impeachment, and their ability to cast a blind eye on Trump’s handler, the murderous villain Putin. That is what I find truly amazing.
