What the... Trump Treason?

Not to be confused with a twit:

I’d guess it’s about 80 on a good day.

At least he didn’t give a specific number, not that he does specifics.

I had a client tell me that I shouldn’t feel bad about not understanding his instructions, because his IQ was so high. Then he named a number which is about 10 points below mine. I kept my mouth shut, and just smiled and nodded, because he pays fast and his checks always clear. If it makes him happy to think I’m not that smart, that’s fine, I just round up on estimates and invoices… and that makes me happy.

My guess is that no one has ever measured the cheeto’s actual IQ, because the test takes hours and requires paying attention. That said, 80 seems like a realistic guess.

What will it take? How badly do the Republicans want to give up control? He could lick Putin’s boot soles before the mid-term elections and Mitch would be up there indignantly defending the action. Jan 2019? Might be a whole different story.

These are the ā€œI love my country but not my governmentā€ types. It makes sense to them.

These days, I can most certainly relate to that line of thinking. The difference is, my government is currently a nonfunctional garbage fire that’s been doing its best to take away my human rights and healthcare; the previous government had a black guy. Comme ci comme ca

There’s a tendency to look at government as meaning just the part in charge, and it makes it easier to forget how important they are. But even now the US government does a myriad of things keeping the country intact. Heck, the judicial branch that’s been holding Trump back is as much a part of government as he is.

Likewise, I’ve heard a lot of people condemn the UN as entirely functionless based solely on the security council. I don’t think they normally remember things like UNESCO, UNICEF, or WHO are part of it.

Mega dittos to you.

This is absolutely true. I should clarify that the executive and legislative branches of our government are currently having a difficult time being whatsoever productive or helpful, and seem to be actively working against many people’s best interests at the moment. The judicial branch is, to their frustration, doing its job of checks and balances very well. Kudos to the men who, over 200 years ago, came up with ways to prevent lawmakers from being kings.
