Anybody bleeding badly from a facelift?

[nafod]

Just checking. Happens to me all the time.

It is obviously that there was blood coming out of her wherever. He's seen it before.

Ouch.

A bad headlift by Dr. Griffin.

[Turdacious]

Anyone know where to find Dr. Griffin?

We got the best shitposter in chief don't we, folks? Probably the best ever. Fantastic.

I wish he would tweet more

I think the guy is completely full of shit with all his Twitter nonsense .............but he distracts the media away from the issues so easily it isn't funny - which seems to be his goal. He's either brilliant or a fu..... moron - I tend a lot more towards village idiot I guess. What he needs most at this point is to actually accomplish some things. So far not much has gotten done - stuff started but nothing ready to go yet. congress can't agree on anything - the place is mess. Where's a fifth grader when you need one? :)

If he does you need to make an investment.

Curious why, PL? Is it like the way some people like to see car accidents?

Agree with climber, he is either brilliant or a f'in moron. And at first take the left and their media cheerleaders always think the latter. But in the end either by luck of the morons or maybe brilliance he keeps winning and coming smelling like a rose.

I was a big fan and regular watcher of Morning Joe for years. Great right down the middle equal opportunity criticism of everything and anybody. But exactly about the time Joe began to make Mika squeaka, they took a big turn to full blown PDT hate and tear him up every day, personally as well as professionally. Generally accepted approach is to ignore it. Most Republicans do this and it doesn't work out well. PDT shoots back. His voters like it and I suspect it has gotten the loonies on the left even more off their game.

Liking how this is playing out more every day.

17 intelligence agencies agree with me. Lol.

I guess my question at this point is "how long can this approach work" as the media seems to be catching on to it. If the Repubs don't get their act together here soon and put some legislation together that can pass - I don't think people are going to accept this forever.

If his goal is to dominate headlines and political conversations - Mission Accomplished. His use of Twitter, etc. will occupy a place in history.
It's revolutionary that the President communicates directly to so many citizens. And illegals.

If his goal is to advance his agenda - I don't see how that's happening. Although, like Obama, he is doing a lot with his pen and his phone.

[dead man walking]

the recent personal attack on a woman has got fox news guys and r's in d.c. chastising him. that's a new development. will he go back to feuding in ways that work for him, or will his tiny fingers tap out more diatribes that undermine his support?

The same thing happened after the Megan Kelly incident. Nothing really new here.

He's a brilliant con man. Nothing wrong with that, but normally in a 'con' you walk away with your pockets full and leave the knuckleheads behind you wondering WTF happened to their money. Here, he's stuck in full view.

[dead man walking]

along the lines of nafod's post:

wasn't the kelly incident before he became president? this is an unfortunate reminder of that.

now he's pres, which presumably comes with some expectations about conduct. while this latest bloody bit may not cost him core supporters, he's vulnerable if he alienates the unenthusiastic people with his misogyny. also, r's more generally are at risk. they have a big stake in this, although donny tiny hands seems immune to counsel from moderating voices.

i'd like to think that at some point our better natures will kick in and we'll reject this behavior in our leader.

is this how you want your president to conduct himself?

The Kelly incident was while he was a nominee for the Republican nomination. He won the nomination and the presidency. If he didn't alienate them before, why would his behavior alienate them now?

He's also not the first POTUS with a reputation for boorish behavior-- Bubba, JFK, LBJ, and Nixon come to mind.

That said, the bigger question is probably about coattails, and a lot of Republicans have to make some decisions pretty quickly.

during the election, there was clinton. now there isn't. how many votes were because of hillary hate?

also, 2018 is looking iffy for r's, if you believe nate silver, who has a good record of forecasting. not perfect, of course, but sound enough that i suspect r's are worried.

so the circumstances have shifted.

Come on, seriously? There's boorish, and then there's Trump.

My wife emailed me this article from The Atlantic, September 1866:

The Johnson Party
by E. P. Whipple
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/ar ... ty/518748/

The President of the United States has so singular a combination of defects for the office of a constitutional magistrate, that he could have obtained the opportunity to misrule the nation only by a visitation of Providence. Insincere as well as stubborn, cunning as well as unreasonable, vain as well as ill-tempered, greedy of popularity as well as arbitrary in disposition, veering in his mind as well as fixed in his will, he unites in his character the seemingly opposite qualities of demagogue and autocrat, and converts the Presidential chair into a stump or a throne, according as the impulse seizes him to cajole or to command.

So, you know, nothing is unprecedented, really. (Unpresidented?)

You're forgetting about the sexual harassment and assault accusations leveled at Bubba. And he kept the female vote. There is always an opposition to be compared to and very few people are single issue voters.

Not at all. Trump has Bubba's sexual harassment and assault x 10, taken to a weird place (buy a beauty pageant so he can walk in on them).
