1. I don't care about Melania. She made her bed, let her

sleep in it.

No comfort for Parkland. Fuck him.

Again lying about DACA.

The whole WH and GOPers are horrid human beings.

3. Just posted this again in my own thread...

...sucks to have the dirty laundry of one's marriage in the headlines, but she hasn't exactly planted the best seeds of Karma.

2. hmm. they are now saying Dolt45 to go to Parkland. Can hear him now - we are

5. It Was such a Convenient Massacre for him to Attend

...and then drive over to Mar-lago for golf

7. One thing I noticed - by the few witnesses/victims involved - was that they seemed

very focused on protecting schools. Get it of course. I feel that this is right down Trump's alley - "arm-um-up" and "metal-detector-um-up" vs the broader vision of gun control and mental health ramp up.

4. Give the guy a break for crying out loud.

It’s been at least a week since his last vacation. He needs rest.

6. How come all the golf doesn't slim his butt down?

8. golf carts. And stress eating.

He doesn't walk the course, he rides it, steps out to swing, rides to the ball, etc.

Longest walk he takes is from an airplane to his limousine. He has said that everything he wants is within an elevator ride in Trump Tower, and/or at Mar-Loco.
remember at which ever meeting he had in Europe, when all the heads of state walked a block or so, and Trump used a golf cart?
For him to do that, in front of cameras and everyone, was very telling.

9. I see. Lazy body plus lazy mind. What you

Mention about elevator (lives and works in same building) in trump tower...has shaped him...for years he has never had to endure a single thing any of us have had to...realities and experiences of everyday life and people.

10. Few years ago I read this perfect example of living in a bubble:

Pres. GHW Bush went from WH to a stadium to throw the first baseball of the season. Doesn't matter which season or which stadium, what matters is how he stayed in the bubble doing it.

The author detailed the President's steps:
Walk from WH to the helicopter.
Land at airfield of Air Force One
Go from helicopter to Air Force one
Fly to city of stadium.
Leave AF One and enter limousine, which of course is parked just steps from the plane.
Ride in that car all the way to stadium
Walk from car to stadium entrance, surrounded by the usual bodyguards and hangers on
Walk thru stadium tunnel out to pitcher's mound, wave at crowd, throw ball, wave at crowd again
as he returns to stadium tunnel on way to car.

then reverse each of the above steps.

It's like living in a fishbowl.

the author pointed out that at no time did the Pres. have any direct contact with any citizens.
that it was possible for Presidents to spend their entire time only being around their own staff, except for closely choreographed hand shaking and speeches at Party events, including electioneering appearances.

For most of the people who live Trump style, in tall buildings in NYC, they go from their hotel/condo, take 5 steps, duck into a taxi, exit at another building, go inside, etc.
they actually breathe much less outside air than we do.
and they see thru glass, most of the time.
