How Stupid Do You Have To Be

@MistyCee It's called a red herring, aka switch topics. It's not like the MAGAs ever use their brain.

The issue is: You're the country's chief executive of the USA, and there's a riot underway, and rioters storing the very symbol of democracy in the USA. Your first order of business, is to oder the National Guard to control the situation, not worry about Nancy's feelings.

But why would stop the riot he instigated, when he cal always make up some excuse later, and the MAGAs will buy it.

@Northwest With all due respect, this is bullshit:


You and I might think that Trump should have a duty to the country, but he, and his collaborators and supporters have repeatedly rejected the idea, at the very least, that this should be his first order of business.

Trump was elected to deconstruct the administrative state, to put a monkey wrench in the wheels of a government that his supporters wanted to destroy, and while these ideas may be batshit crazy in terms of the public good, they served Trump's ends and the public good sounds way too much like communism/socialism for Trumpists to endorse.

@MistyCee It’s bullshit to expect the CEO to do what’s expected. It’s not about what you and I think. It’s about the job requirements when did that becomr optional?

@Northwest So bring a shareholder derivative suit as a minority shareholder, which is more or less what the two impeachment attempts were about.

Trump wasn't really elected to serve the country as much as to destroy it so that it could be made "great again," and he fought pretty hard for those goals.

Sure, the 2016 minority was actually a popular majority, and in 2020, became an effective majority (assuming that wasn't fraud), but I think there's a strong case to be made that Trump was standing up for the "principles" he was elected to represent by fomenting rebellion and trying to end the American State as it perviously existed.

@MistyCee
A distinction without a difference, for those who continue to support the USA as it has always existed, but more importantly, only a minority of the people who voted for him, want the USA to cease existing as it always has.

In the meanwhile, I continue to exercise my right to comment, just as I would by sending a letter to the Board of a company that I invest in, if I felt the CEO is on path to destroy it.

@Northwest You have every right to comment as do I, but I think you're underestimating the number of people wanting to change the country.

Sure, not all of them want primarily to "own the libs", make America white again, or turn it into a Christian nation, but there are an awful lot of them, and when you add in the amoral folks who want tax breaks and or to get away with fraud and lying like Trump does, it's probably close to 70 million.

And that's not even counting the leftist revolutionaries, communists, socialists, LBGT groomer types, and other folks who might see the chaos as a away to create the kind of change they want.

Bizarre as it is, some of those folks did vote for Trump.

@MistyCee
Not at all, but I find some comfort knowing that I'm protected behind the Western Wall. If the rest of the country wants to go all-White, they're in for a rude awakening. Bizarre as it is, I don't give a fuck if they vote for Trump, and I have every right to insist that it's "my" way, or the highway. I am tired of going high, when they go low.
