My wife and I just looked at each other and laughed when we saw her utter these words. Yeah, that's a great distinction.
People swallow that shit all day long. I have a saying that I used at work all the time- "Since when does force of personality overcome reason?" The answer is, way too much of the time. I have a true story about my former employer that I can't relate here, but it cost them tens of millions for letting one engineer pound the table and get his way. It got the IG on their asses big time.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

"Force of personality" only works on weak personalities - especially those encouraged by religion and education systems intended to dumb down the majority. Not enough critical thinking in this world, even at the top.

OK so what is today on a menu called "Trump's Shit Sandwich"
White House $44 billion Disaster Aid Bill Offers No Relief For Wildfire Victims
Quote:“It’s appalling the White House is choosing to ignore the victims of California’s wildfires,” the senators said. “The latest disaster supplemental request is a completely inadequate response to all of the recent natural disasters, but it’s particularly egregious that no money was included to help Californians rebuild.”

Ah that will show those no good Californians who didn't vote enough for Trump to win there.
Russian oligarch docks yacht in Palm Beach ahead of Trump visit
Quote:Abramovich's arrival comes days before Trump is set to arrive at his Florida resort, dubbed the "winter White House," for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Abramovich owns London’s Chelsea Football Club and is the largest shareholder of Russia's second largest steel company. He is reportedly close with the Russian president.
First daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, have met with Abramovich and his wife before.
Bloomberg reported that Kushner disclosed his past meetings with Abramovich on his security clearance paperwork. The two have met multiple times at social events, and Ivanka Trump has been friends with Abramovich's wife for a decade.

A Panama tower carries Trump’s name and ties to organized crime
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ah, come on now. We all know that every penny of that $44bn needs to go to top priority storm damage at Mar a Lago. We wouldn't want El Presidente to be worried about that when he should be taunting the Rocketman.

Trump retweets videos from British far right group, one possibly complicit in the murder of an MP and whose leader is on bail over prejudice issues. The bit in brackets is a sidebar.
Quote
Quote:The first video, originally shared by deputy leader Jayda Fransen's account, claimed to show "Muslim migrants beating up a Dutch boy on crutches".
A second re-post was captioned "Muslim destroys statue of Virgin Mary", while a third read "Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death".

Donald Trump 'continuing to peddle conspiracy theories'
Deputy leader of far-right group Britain First arrested Britain First leaders charged with religious harassment. The content of the videos or their origin could not be independently verified, but local reports said the first showed the 2013 murder of a teenager who was himself likely to be a Muslim during riots over the coup against Mohamed Morsi.)
The attacker in the video from the Netherlands was neither a Muslim nor a migrant, according to local media, and was arrested over the incident.
Shortly after sharing the footage, the President called on Americans to "boycott Fake News CNN" and hailed "another great day for the stock market".
So, veracity of the videos is in question, yet Trump's spokesman said that this did not matter, the threat was there. So this could be "fake news" - but that's OK, because it carries the Trump message.
America, please get rid of this bozo before he does damage to your, already shakey, national image that may take a century and $trillions to repair.

The latest racist dog whistle seems to be "Weak on crime". Donald Trump recently accused Doug Jones (the guy who prosecuted the KKK church bombing) as "weak on crime." What they really mean by this is that they don't support disproportionate sentences for other races.
