I'm so shocked about Trump
April 7, 2017 at 5:19 pm
I'm joining the growing ranks of the followers of Republican Jesus who are having Trump regrets.
I thought surely a pseudo casino mogul who managed to go bankrupt four times was a business genius.
I was certain that a self-described rapist infamous for stiffing his creditors, who wouldn't offer any transparency over his finances was just the man we needed to clean out Washington's corruption.
I really thought a guy known for selling cheap crap made in China was going to bring back American jobs.
I was sure the guy snuggling up to Putin, who had financial conflicts of interest all over the world, who's idea of divestment was giving his businesses to his children, who is beholden to God-only-knows who financially was the one to Make America White Great Again.
You could have knocked me over with a feather when it turned out that hiring a guy with absolutely ZERO experience and/or formal training in government, law, civics, international service, military or political science for the most important political job in the entire world was completely insane.
You'd have thought a man who launched a 3 am Twitter War with a former Miss Universe after that train-wreck of his first debate performance had just the kind of temperament and sense of priorities to successfully negotiate with world leaders.
Color me surprised that a man with a 20 word vocabulary isn't getting much respect on the world stage.
Not a misunderstood political genius? SHOCK! DISMAY! I was deceived! I was tricked! Nobody could have seen this coming!

Aren't you supposed to be all-knowing, or some such shit?

I'm not all knowing. I'm just guided by the all-knowing Holy Spirit. For some strange reason, it's not working. I just don't know why. I'll have to go pray on that.
Last time I asked Jesus to take the wheel, that didn't go to well either.

Poetroll.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Poe, yes.
But not a troll.
The difference? Trolls don't give you the winking smiley in their signature, as demanded by Poe's Law.

Then you're not a real follower of Republican Jesus. Republican Jesus' only concern is that a Republican is elected. That person's accomplishments and failures are irrelevant. You're supposed to be happy with what he does no matter what.
Like when Saint W. Bush wiped his ass with the fourth amendment. You cheer for that, but then you let the outrage fly when a Democrat invites a rapper to the White House. Republican Jesus ain't got time for cognitive dissonance.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

It helps when you can't remember clearly what you said last year, never mind during the last administration. "Strategic Forgetery" it's called.

This is a completely unfair depiction of Trump.
We all know he doesn't know 20 words.
Maybe 18 at most.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Seems like just funny ironic comedy, not poetroll.
It made me laugh. Worth a kudos for that!
