I realize I said something similar on another thread, dear reader, so if you’ve seen my other post, my apologies.
Some of his voters have expressed regrets, but overall his supporters are quite content with him. They are proudly wearing their MAGA hats and as they drive around with confederate and/or American flag stickers on the bumper.
They have not made a mistake! You made the mistake if you think they made a mistake. They voted for someone to shake things up, and Make America Great Again, by shaking things up and showing those elites what for!
Oh, so you don’t like being shaken?! You don’t like it when refugees, veterans, children, the elderly, the environment, the homeless, minorities (both ethnic and religious) being shaken?! Suck it up, will be the nicest thing they say.
And if you point out that rather than draining the swamp, he has nominated for appointments some of the biggest alligators I mean Wall Street billionaire alumni, then it’s all, oh well, Trump said he had all the best people. If the best person for a job is a Wall Street billionaire, then the MAGAlanders are happy.
Exactly what the Leave EU people are saying in the UK. And they too are the ones who will be in the depositing line when the excrement contacts the impeller. I doubt any of them have heard this term, but it applies to them in toto: “Useful idiots.”
Speaking of nuclear codes and the use thereof…i was curious if during one of his nightly bathrobe strolls through the west wing the mad orange pumpkin could decide to launch one at, say, iran and whether anyone could veto it. During an imminent threat it appears not but outside of that it would take a few days? There seems to be a lot of grey area surrounding this. I can well imagine whatever shit he puts on his hair finally tipping him over the edge.
Why are people forgetting that? VonClownstick and his ‘people’ are becoming desperate. Desperate people do horrible things. Humor is a great weapon, but we need to be calling our reps and making the machine work for us again. Not for billionaires who refuse to pay their own bills.
Even just today- ‘Donald Trump’s family’s trips have cost taxpayers nearly as much in a month as Barack Obama’s cost in an entire year.’ Can you imagine the screams if he were a Dem doing this?
“He was irate at the light in which he had been portrayed in the media,” Deborah Layton Blakey testifed last June. “He felt that as a consequence of having been ridiculed and maligned, he would be denied a place in history. His obsession with his place in history. When pondering the loss of what he considered his rightful place in history, he would grow despondent and say that all was lost.”
The simple, non-conspiracy theory explanation of all this is that initially the Russian media didn’t understand Trump but did understand that he was making vaguely pro-Russian noises and were supportive in the hope that he’d lift sanctions and was saying the crazy stuff for votes; and now he’s President they’re waking up to the fact that he genuinely means all the crazy stuff and can probably be prevented from doing any pro-Russian stuff.
I have never really believed the more extreme anti-Russian claims coming out of the US, it’s a little too McCarthyite to convince me it hasn’t been deflection of attention from the real issues (like the very poor Clinton campaign and the failure to help Rust Belt states). Sometimes journalism really is just journalists reacting to events rather than cunning plans cooked up by Berovsky-level intellects. And at the moment I think a lot of non-US journalists are just coming round to the view that “Yes, the voters of the most powerful nation state on Earth really did just do that. wtf?”
That is very logical and articulate.
That’s why I agree but those with cognitive dissonance won’t. And
apparently there are quite a few of them out there.
I used to waste my time trying to educate and/or be logical with trump
supporters but it doesn’t work.
You know the old saying, don’t wrestle with a pig because the pig likes it
and you both get dirty.
Propellant residues are often very nasty. The old black power was at least an environmentally friendly death dealing munition. But lead? Lead is still used for roofing in areas where the soil water is not too soft. Yes, it’s toxic. But in areas with a reasonable level of sulfates and carbonates it forms a protective insoluble film. Uranium on the other hand reacts with all kinds of stuff to produce soluble salts. Uranyl sulfate, uranyl nitrate (from NOx in rain), and even uranyl carbonate are all soluble. Very nasty stuff indeed.
(fly ash from coal burning typically contains 10-80ppm of uranium along with other nasties - selenium, thorium, arsenic, mercury. But once incorporated into concrete it’s pretty harmless. The uranium from DU weapons is far more likely to find its way into the food chain, for the reasons stated above.)
