706 Days Left

Dear God, it’s painful watching the empty codpiece blather on incoherently. I can hardly wait until we have a president, any president, who can appear before the public and speak extemporaneously on higher than a 9th grade level.

And it’s even more painful to watch him repeatedly say things like “I think people who disagree with me can be patriotic” as if he’s granting some sort of dispensation. But by far the most painful thing is watching the press corps laugh and laugh when he treats them like children and makes unfunny, puerile jokes at their expense. It’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen and that includes many decades in a business where brownnosing the boss has been raised to the level of religion.

Sickening.

Update:

On Iran:

What matters is, we’re responding. My job is to protect our troops!

Lotsa people say “meet!” but I want results.

“This is one of the issues where people would say ‘why didn’t they see the impending danger?'”

He really believes that history will vindicate him.

And he believes he’s regained his credibility because of North Korea and insists everyone is supposed to believe him when he says he wants diplomacy to work.

Oy.
