Why do you make such petty posts? It only makes you sound like a high schooler.
Yeah, needs. Be fair. Red also got his tax break.

Maybe just stupid.   Combined with cunning.   He's the answer to the question "what if weasels (the actual animal species) could talk and hold office? "  I'm almost back to my hoax theory of the Trump presidency. 

Am enjoying the Yankguy Greek Chorus.   I think Elba: the Musical is ready to pitch to a producer,  off Broadway.

Cunning?  Don't see it.  His cluelessness has been given too much credit for being strategic when it could be explained more simply; he is clueless. 

You've seen the movie Being There, yes?

Remember the scene where Ruth Attaway (Louise) sees Chance on TV?

“It's for sure a white man's world in America. Look here: I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss-ant. And I'll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th' ears. Shortchanged by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! Yes, sir, all you've gotta be is white in America, to get whatever you want.”

LOL.  You reposted an entry of mine and crossed out the entire thing without addressing what in that entirely factual post you objected to…and next post later you accuse me of posting like a high schooler…
Then explain 0.0020 cents.

Oh yes,  and read Kosinski's book.  It was my metaphor for the whole Trump effect,  back in 2016.  But I think there's a cunning that Trump has,  akin to that seen in some animals, that Chance the gardener lacked.   It's not smart cunning,  but more a set of instincts for self preservation  and manipulation of the gullible.   I think Mark Burnett somehow imparted to 45 some refinements in technique for spotting rubes and making yourself a shiny object.

Russians using an asset to groom an asset.

6 republican Senators are happy to break with trump. 14 more to go. Kushner getting involved with shutdown negotiations will surely help some more of that conference come around.

At 34% and 31 points underwater, there is no political price for bucking the president.

Strange reversal indeed, Republicans are pushing for public works and infrastructure and liberal elites are obstructing?

Yeah,  weird how libs just want piddly stuff like lead free public water supplies and clean safe public housing and new schools when they could focus on more urgent needs like fences in the middle of a desert that stop no one.

Is it your contention that drones work just as well without barriers?

No.

Republicans are pushing for a pointless wall that will harm environment, harm communities and individuals, waste money, and serve no practical purpose.

You want $5.7 billion for infrastructure, that would be fine.

And stop holding Americans hostage.

The liberals have had ample opportunity to fix the public water supplies and have chosen not to put the time and money into it.

Yeah, the GOP is worse, but... the liberals are not the good guys there.
