Avoiding indictment is the new gold standard for presidential behavior? Folks … the buffoon in chief golfs every four days and spends “executive time” watching TV while barely staying ahead of the law. Can you smell the steaming pile of poo?
Thus far, I haven’t used the blog to post political content. That changes today! Up until now, Twitter has served as the place where I’ve gone to vent my frustration and outrage … to howl into the night like a mad dog over the indignities visited upon our country by the creature from the Abyss who has risen to unrighteous power and profanes the Oval Office. Oh … it’s probably worth noting that hardly anyone follows me on Twitter or knows who I am, so I’ve been able to get away with stuff like that. Anyhoo, I thought it would be interesting to do a bit of data-mining and see what insights might be drawn from the tweet barbs that I’ve thrown at Presidink Drumpf since he first registered on my Twitter radar.
As I write this post, Twitter says that I have posted 432 times since I created an account back in September of 2008. Considering that it’s been nearly 11 years since I took up the handle of @mrwatson44, that only amounts to an average of 39 posts per year … hardly prolific but understandable perhaps because it’s a bit like talking to myself. In the early years, my Twitter use consisted of posting inane comments about my whereabouts, the dog, beverages, blisters, foie gras, baseball, etc. and the like. But, all that changed on July 29th, 2016 when my Twitter obsession with the Donald popped into existence:
“Apparently, Donald Trump is now a Russian. This November I will be voting for a great American!”
In the months leading up to the election in November, 2016, let’s just say that I could not warm to the guy:
- Trump is now a national security risk, actively rooting for a foreign adversary to tamper with an American election http://tinyurl.com/zzbsb4p
- From Israeli news: “GOP Like Deer in Headlights as Trump Goes Full-on Looney Tunes” … Trump is making us look like fools
- http://tinyurl.com/h4qdd64 this would tube Trump’s bid and he knows it!
- The single biggest reason not to vote for Trump is his refusal to release his tax information.
- http://tinyurl.com/gn4f8tc sums things up nicely … no regard for truth and doesn’t care … bye bye loser
- “By refusing to subject himself to the most basic level of financial scrutiny Trump is disqualifying himself as candidate.” Damn straight!
And then came the debates, and I really lost it:
- I am so great because I take advantage my nation’s laws to screw other people …
- I can’t release my tax returns because I am a Russian
- If I give all my money to the CEOs of the wealthiest corporations, they will take care of me and give me a job
- The media lies and I don’t because the record shows it
- Sean Hannity likes me but we used to argue … elect me
- Donald is mental
- Let’s give Trump the codes for the nuclear missiles … seriously, it will be okay
- Really allies … we won’t go all nuclear on you … promise … I have a great temperament
- Make no mistake … I will bomb you … I am awesome … I am a business man
- I would like to say that I have a better web site than ISIS … sadly, Hillary’s HTML sucks
- Now I’m going to say something really rough … she is not nice … boo hoo
- America is a third world nation … oops … I made that up …
- Trump won? Won what? The biggest liar award! Two words: Tax returns!
- She was the worst we ever had … I can judge women’s bodies … elect me President
- Another minute … another Trump lie … boring!
- I am a sex crazed moron liar … but that doesn’t matter … my balance sheet is perfect!
- Hilary only talks but I only grab people’s private parts
- Fact check my brain … there are no facts … I know nothing … it doesn’t matter … it’s great … I am awesome
I might have started drinking more heavily in the lead up to the election, but I can’t remember. Anyway, as we all know too well, the Great Prevaricator actually won (stole) the election with a little help from the Russians. In the ensuing two years, Twitter reveals that my disgust and loathing for Drumpf have only grown by leaps and bounds. My Twitter feed turned into the place where I went to cough up bile for the doofus in the White House. A sampling:
- Oh my gosh … is Donald Trump the biggest loser ever? You are fired!!!
- Repeal and replace yourself Donald Trump!
- “The presidency now has kinglike qualities, and we have a child upon the throne.” Ross Douthat, NY Times … think Games of Thrones!
- Elon Musk should replace the Trumpster Dumpster right now!
- Wow. When North Korea can claim moral high ground when it comes to Trumpster Dumpster … how low can we go?
- “This is code red. The biggest threat to the integrity of our democracy today is in the Oval Office.” (Thomas Friedman, NYT)
- It didn’t take anywhere near a year for a lot of us to understand that Trump is the worst President ever!
- Impeach Trump now for crimes against the United States of America!
- Am I voting? You bet and I hope every person who wants to return control of Congress to the Democrats will vote with me and deliver a death blow to anything and everything Drumpf wants to do in the next two years!
- Hey Drumpf … guess what’s happening with your racist, fascist, misogynistic agenda for America in the next two years? Nothing, nada, zilch! On the other hand, you might prepare to hand over your tax returns. 🙂
- Yep and yep … we have a “president that gives comfort and encouragement to dictators and cedes the moral authority of the United States” Dan Balz, WP
- It’s pretty clear that a 5th-grader could run our country better than the insane SOB in Chief. Drumpf has now brought us a bear market and a non-functioning government.
- Dear President Drumpf … please put an indefinite hold your State of the Union address … no one wants to hear your MAGA bullsh-t when we know that you don’t give a f-ck about paying wages to hard working people
Obviously, I’m not objective when it comes to anything Drumpf. In fact, it looks like I have never tweeted a single nice or complimentary word in his direction. Let’s check the past six months or so just to be sure:
- Drumpf’s tax cut handed us a big bill this year. Wake up America! We’ve been had and it’s time to do something about it!
- Do you owe more in taxes this year? Welcome to the Drumpf tax cut for America. Don’t you think it’s time to get a peek at the presidentk’s returns?
- Let’s see … 16 states have filed suit over the “emergency” wall … hmm … that ought to tie Drumpf up in the courts until he loses the 2020 election … idiot!
- Let’s have Drumpf and Netanyahu do hard time together!
- What’s new? Drumpf’s proposed budget is the exact opposite of where this country should be spending its money … on people, not on walls and bombs! With beans for brains, this loser is a national disgrace!
- So there was no collusion and Drumpf is completely exonerated by the Mueller report but it requires a subpoena and court battle to get the proof … does something stink-eth here?
- The state of American politics is disgusting beyond belief. GOP silence on the outrage that is every word out of Drumpf’s mouth is a moral stain that will go down in infamy!
- Signed by more than 1,000 former federal prosecutors: “We all strongly believe that there is more than enough evidence to indict Trump for multiple felony counts of obstruction of justice … if he weren’t in the White House, President Trump would be charged with serious crimes.”
Nope. Not a single nice or encouraging word! And, somehow, I think it’s unlikely that is ever going to happen.
This Life ... the Best of Them?
