And that's really it.My response to a right-wing blogger who called me a kook and a loser for stating that Donald Trump is a liar / water is wet: pic.twitter.com/pAp18w2x3W— Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) May 28, 2017
Here we are learning more and more damaging information about Donald Trump, his campaign, and his administration every day, and still his base of supporters think HE is the victim instead of realizing that THEY are the victim.
I really don't know if that support from his base will ever completely dissipate, but I predict that every single day there are a small number of newly enlightened supporters who wake up and realize that the king has no clothes, and that they were taken in by an orange tinned con artist using the oldest tricks in the book.
That a perfect response!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gryphen for bringing this and so many other stories to your blog.
I'm always sending links to IM as I don't see the stories you post anywhere else.
Thanks again!
My sentiments exactly .Thank you Gryphen.
DeleteWorld leaders are already moving on without the USA because of trump. Putin and Macron met. trump is quickly becoming the common enemy to our allies.
Republicans are stupid!

"In the 21st century, prostitution occurs across cultures and POLITICAL systems, EVEN operating in socialist societies. The originator of the phrase “the world's oldest profession” was Rudyard Kipling. His 1888 story about a prostitute begins,
“Lalun is a member of the MOST ancient profession in the world.” NOW tiny djt must PAY UP.

DeleteIt may save face but he may lose a nice severance package. He can certainly forget about applying for unemployment. (Republicans just hate those safety net programs until they qualify for them. Then they take everything they can get. Millionaires getting social security comes immediately to mind.)
I hope that more of his base will finally see the light, but I fear we may also see more violent incidents like the murders in Portland.
ReplyDeleteAs his administration implodes, his devoted followers are becoming more desperate and angry. Those who are on the edge of violence may feel the need to lash out at anyone they perceive as the 'enemy'.
This is a scary and dangerous time for our country. Either we will be destroyed by it or, as I believe, we will come out stronger for it, battle-scarred and ready to rebuild a nation that is respected and trusted around the world.
On this Memorial Day, I am reminded that we've been through many dark times in our nation's history, but have always fought through and survived. I sincerely hope we can do the same this time, with minimal damage in the process.
MORAL INJURY to us all.

I'm sorry to say I think it will take a very long time and it'll get much worse before it gets better. Not only will we have to fight the bad guys but also their years of illegal skulduggery, some of which they haven't even thought of yet. It won't ever be a fair fight and it won't be won at the ballot box.

He hasn't blocked me yet, but I expect it to happen soon. He isn't fit to lick the boots of those who died in service to their country.
DeleteI am so grossed out that a known liar and cheat has committed treason and espionage with an enemy for his personal gain. It is disgusting that this LIAR has came this far in harming our country and citizens. He must be prosecuted and held accountable for damages.

What is more disgusting is that one political party in majority in the House and the Senate is now colluding with this traitor and protecting him, rather than protecting this nation, the Constitution and our people.
DeleteThe Republicans are equally if not more culpable than the big orange anus. They put him there and they are keeping him there despite everything that has been revealed.
So I put Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell on the chopping block ahead of Trump. We all knew what Trump was, them included, but they helped to put him in a position to destroy this country rather than to block him and run a more qualified candidate.
Trump should have been blocked at the primary level. He never should have won the Republican nomination. And they could have prevented him. They simply chose not to.
They put party before country. They put personal gain before the good of the nation.
Fuck them all.
Perhaps you can clarify your thoughts, Gryph, but I would never call anyone who voted for nor supports him a "victim." Ignoramus, yes, especially as they tout their "god" as the reason why.
ReplyDeleteI agree and I have never subscribed to the nonsense that we Democrats should feel sorry for the Trump voters and try to see the world as they do. They didn't have to rely totally on Fox News and they didn't have to be taken in by his con artistry. They chose to. Even a well-educated doctor friend of ours, who always obsessed about the national debt when a Democrat was in charge, worries about how poor Trump is being perceived. We just bite our tongues and hope for the day when this friend admits to us that he made a huge, no "yuuuge," mistake in supporting Trump and believing the GOP/Fox nonsense about the national debt.
DeleteBeaglemom
The disenfranchised of our society are victims in a sense. Victims of indoctrination and stupidity. What they do with that indoctrination and stupiity in light of all the evidence to the contrart is then on them.
DeleteI once thought being white, American and Catholic was the luckiest possible demographics. Now I am ashamed, ashamed and free.
They're willing victims. So when Trump's executive orders, cabinet demons and the Republicans screw them over, I will enjoy it immensely. I will put on a red dress, dance away and giggle TOLD YOU SO!
DeleteThey deserve what they get. It might be the only way to finally get through their thick, ignorant skulls to stop voting against their own best interests.
Some time ago a lawyer from his legal firm told his biographer that when they had a meeting with Trump they would always have a colleague with them because he was such a liar that they always needed a witness. His own lawyers!

DeleteZombie wouldn't do any good. They only eat brains.
DeleteI have a Trump voting neighbor who refuses to talk about him now. He was such a fan he kept his Trump/Pence campaign sign in his front yard until about a month ago.
ReplyDeleteHis wife (very liberal) says he swears under his breath at every Trump tweet and won't watch the news anymore--But, he has yet to admit he made a mistake.
He will get there.

I saw that tone-deaf tweet of Ivanka Trump. She is rightfully getting a lot of grief on Twitter over her ridiculous, silver-spoon-in-the-mouth comment. And I thought she was supposedly the "smart" one!!
DeleteThrow the whole, ridiculous family out of the White House!
Resist! Impeach!
His supporters aren't victims, all the info about what a crappy businessman trump is was out there before the election. It was also a known fact he is a con artist and a pathological liar.
ReplyDeleteHe allowed them to demonstrate their hatred freely without any consequences. That is why they voted for him. Hatred for Obama, Hillary, women, minorities and anyone that has a different opinion.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, we are also paying the consequences of their ignorance.
Only five months into his term and all we have continual chaos because of little donnie, he hasn't accomplished anything (thank god) except isolate the US from the rest of the world.
The rest of the world is onto his con game and they aren't buying it.
So his supporters can go to hell.
I mentioned that I was up close with Kelly Ann Conjob and her family yesterday. While the venue was not appropriate to say anything to her , plus she was with her girls after running a fundraising 5k. But I took delight in the fact that her husband and she saw me and my family looking and taking photos , and I think they thought I was a fan girl. But I was madly texting her huge varicose veins all over social media and laughing my ass off at her...calling over my teenage boys to gawk..etc etc. Here's one family who is on to your evil bullshit KellyAnn. No good can come of what you have done.

Today is President John F. Kennedy's 100th birthday. How come trump didn't say any words to our president who was assassinated? President Kennedy is laying in rest several yards away. He did the way to say thank you several times because it is all about him.

DeleteTrump: Who is John F. Kenedy?
DeleteMy bad his last name is spelled Kennedy, not Kenedy.
A goodly portion of his base are too plug STUPID, or too caught up in their 'religion' to ever admit he is a total disaster.
