TRUMP'S SPEECH, CNN AND OTHER THINGS THAT SUCK HARD!

Yesterday was a sad day for cable news. First we had to deal with Trump's first televised speech that went every bit as horrible as one would expect. Then, immediately afterward, CNN ran a "town hall" with Paul Ryan that was more infomercial than news. When did our news sources become so awful? And why is the American public still behind Trump even after he flip flopped yet again on a campaign promise Obama style? This asshole is literally killing people with his latest anti-environment action, one geared specifically against people in coal country who voted for him. The fact that there are millions of people still rooting for Trump are not only woefully stupid, but incredibly dangerous. It is fuckwads like this that get us people like Hitler and Pinochet.

Let's start with yesterday's fucked up speech in which Orange Hitler talked about what he was going to do in Afghanistan which in reality told us nothing new or even meaningful at all. He said he wasn't going to announce troop deployments which is stupid on multiple levels. One, a democracy demands the public be informed of war plans and, regardless of what this moron wants, we will know when they get deployed as it is public record when it occurs. Two, he added not one new plan or idea that will win this war which cannot be won doing what they have been doing. There are two choices here and only two, neither of which the Army wants to do. We can either start firebombing cities that have Taliban fighters which will most likely inflame locals or we can leave. I know which idea I like best and it is not setting people on fire.

Generals admit we cannot win here and if we leave, things will probably get worse. So I guess we are going to stay forever until the sun burns out? Great plan and totally untenable. We should leave and tell the Afghani people that if they let the country devolve into a terrorist's wasteland, next time we are not sending soldiers but nukes and napalm and waltz out the door. The ball is in there court with the knowledge that they are fighting not only for their country but their very existence. We have to start fighting wars in which we win, something that Trump last night says we always do, which history says otherwise. We haven't really a war in some time, with our greatest successes since WW2 being Vietnam, which we could have won without a single shot being fired, and the 2nd Iraq War, which we never should gotten into in the first place and is currently hanging by a thread. The rest we did poorly in.

We need to get out of Afghanistan which is the platform he ran on and, like every other president, wussed out on when the generals, ones probably beholden to the military complex, convinced him otherwise. This war without end is great for Raytheon but hell for the rest of us. Plus, Orange Hitler wants to use private mercs which cost three times as much as the army. Great deal again loser. This war cannot be won EVER. The longer we wait, the more money we waste and the more people are getting killed. We should leave today which is what many who voted for Trump wanted.

Then we had the CNN town hall that Jake Tapper looked uncomfortable holding and had he any journalistic integrity should have walked off stage half way through this embarrassment. Ryan doesn't hold town halls and this one sure doesn't count. The questions were all pre-screened and known about beforehand, giving the whole thing the vibe of a super long campaign ad. Why did CNN agree to this farce? And why did Jake Taper agree to host this? Every questions was either a softball or dodged with little pushback by the host who wanted to move on to other things equally devoid of facts or relevance. This was a tragedy of epic proportions.

The problem with all of this is that 30% of this country still backs Trump and will not matter what. These people should be forced to wear Star of David like emblems to know whom they are and treat them accordingly. Blind faith to a leader is not a sign of a democracy but a cult or a demagogue. A recent test group of six assholes on CNN said they liked what Trump had to say in Charlottesville and that his flipflopping on Afghanistan didn't bother them. Maybe a swift kick to the neither regions would help because as a rift on an Animal House quote goes "Republican, fat and stupid is no way to go through life." These absolute traitors to this country should be treated accordingly. If you support Trump at this stage of the game, you are literally too stupid to live. A reckoning is coming and Trump supporters stand to lose everything if they continue this blind journey. We are already seeing it in the massive numbers of people losing their jobs for holding Nazi views. I have no problem with that as free speech or not, Nazis need to be exterminated from the human race at this point. Their idiocy has gone on for too long and it needs to disappear stat.

There are rumors that Trump knows the walls are closing in and he may quit before that happens. Mueller's probe is going strong and there are solid chances that Manafort and Flynn may already be signing to the prosecutor. Confidants to the President says he may be looking as a way to step down with the knowledge he won't be prosecuted if he does. Mind you, this is all unsubstantiated rumors but it is not impossible either. I would rather see him in orange but anything that gets him out of office at this point is acceptable.

Trump is a menace who doesn't know what he is doing, his speech was terrible, his supporters are scum and we are one idiotic tirade away from economic or nuclear disaster. Other than that, this country is doing fine. Sigh. Please fucking vote in 2018 to turn the Congress blue because as inept and awful as the democrats are, they are not this fucking bad in a million years.
