Rant ON/off

So, Comrade Combover makes this statement today...

"Considering that we have done more than any Administration in the first two years, this should be easy."

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Really. You've got to be fucking kidding!

I suppose if you're borderline illiterate and redlining the narcissistic spectrum, then yeah, you've done more in the first two years than any of the 44 before you. And who are these people? We've had accomplished Senators and Governors. We've had presidents who have saved this country from civil wars and nation ending depressions. Weve had Rhodes Scholars and editors of the fucking Harvard law review. We've had Generals who won a revolutionary war, a civil war, and WWII. We had a goddamn president that was so popular he won 4 fucking elections!

And then there's you. A man born with a silver spoon. A man born with enough priveledge and money that no matter how big you fail, you still come out ahead. Let's take a look at your business acumen shall we? Trump steak. Fail. Trump Vodka. Fail. Trump magazine. Fail. Trump airlines. Fail. Trump casino. Fail. Are you fucking kidding me? Really, man? Really? You failed at a business where people just show up and give you money for nothing in return but a place to spend time? And you're gonna tell me what a successful businessman you are? You're a failure. Period. The only success you've had is money laundering for the worst of our species. And you're proud of that? What the fuck is wrong witchoo? But, I digress.

Back to the point. We've had presidents who've ended the inhumanity of slavery, made us a nation, maintained a nation through a civil war, defeated Nazis, brought down communism (not just one president, mind you. Reagan didn't do it alone. He just had the luck of having it happen on his watch.), gave us Social Security, the New deal, the Great Society, the right of gays to serve in the military, unemployment insurance, OSHA, Medicare, Medicaid, public housing, etc., etc, et fucking cetera.

And what has been accomplished under your "leadership"? Let's see. You put this country 1.7 trillion dollars in debt so you could save money in taxes. Really, your only accomplishment. You've taken credit for two supreme court justices, when one was stolen by a craven douchebag (I.E. McConnel) and one has been accused of rape or attempted rape by multiple women. The State department has been decimated. You've insulted our allies. You've horrified the world over with your verbal fellation of this nations greatest enemies. The policies you've advocated for fly in the face of everything this nation stands for. You have less class then I've encountered in trailer parks and public housing. You've behaved like a king in a country that gave countless gallons of blood to escape a monarchy.

And you have the unmitigated gall to toot your own horn? Your lack of self awareness and humility is stunning. Anyone else, anyone fucking else would be humbled and tremble at the place in history you currently hold. But hey, the black hole that is your ego keeps you oblivious to any sense of history or class. So I guess that's where you surpass the last 44.

In short, you're an embarressment. A stain on this nation. Mark my fucking words, the world will celebrate, in the fucking streets when you leave office. So take your "done more in two years than anyone before me" bullshit and stick it right up your ass. Obviously, your head needs some company.

It's difficult to imagine his internal monologues that allow him to believe this crap. And, although he is a certified grade A liar, I think he does convince himself that he is right. I'm thinking it's like the Gollum scenes from LOTR when he is leading Frodo and Sam through the swamp.

OK, so you all just heard Andy Serkis's voice, didn't you?

Thinking about Gollum's dialog, I was reminded of the line when good Gollum won't let bad Gollum kill the nasty hobitses. "Why don't we let HER do it?" (referring to Shelob, the spider) - so maybe we should call her Speaker Shelob Pelosi.

Speaker Pelosi will never be Shelob! And Aunt Crabby tweeted the Coulter/Spider connection just the other day.

I guess I heard "She can do it!" in my head. And, indeed, she DID!

Didn't know about the other references for AC, guess she's that obvious that so many of us would make that connection so quickly.

I think that Speaker Pelosi would be more like Galadriel...
Although she did kind of nail him like Shelob nailed Frodo!


And I get the reference you make, I sure can hear that voice!

He’s absolutely the WORST president in our country’s entire existence!

And he’s absolutely the WORST pathetic excuse for a human being walking this Earth right now. (despite some pretty stiff competition)

How 38% of our country can’t see it just boggles my mind. That’s why I love hearing these kinds of words from all our wonderful, smart, and compassionate DUers. I feel like there are way more of us out there than there are brainwashed and willfully ignorant Trumpkins.

Well written, man.

Using the simple "pResident Trump has_______ more than any other president in history" template, there's a long list of accolades he may rightly claim for his own.

I'll contribute three.

1 - pResident Trump has watched shitty cable TV networks more than any other president in history

2 - pResident Trump has farted in the white house more than any other president in history

3 - pResident Trump has flicked more boogers on the walls of the oval office than any other president in history

You try!
