1. He's been an asshole for many years

The funniest Dilbert cartoon I've ever seen almost made me smirk a little. Never understood the appeal.

Factor that blandness in with the creator's bullshit attitudes, and it's simply not worth my time.

2. If I wouldn't know that he's a Trump-fan, that would qualify as biting sarcasm.

Negotiation.
That why he's having tremendous success with healthcare-repeal and his wall and his budget.

Persuasion.
That why the Democrats have said they won't work with him.

Construction.
That's why he partnered with the russian mob to finance his projects.

Decision-making.
That's why his decisions vary from "Fuck this" to "Fuck This, I want to go home".

Public-speaking.
That's why he cannot use coherent sentences without a prepared speech and a teleprompter.

Necessary firings.
That's why he kept Flynn around and holds onto Kushner, while "firing" Manafort with a $3.5 million golden parachute to keep him from blabbing.

Listening to advisors.
He's great at listening to people even though there's no need for that. He has the best brains and always knows best.

5. Nope. If you click through and read the conversation he's having with Cuban, it's not biting sarcasm

I'm not going to post any of the content from his blog post, linked below, because in my mind it would be a violation of DU's "Don't spread right wing talking points." But this dick isn't a master satirist. He's a Trump fan.

3. He has failed

At everyone of those. Way to pay attention!

[oberliner]

4. He is a big Trump fan

And has been since the beginning of the campaign.

6. The only topic he has in depth knowledge on is HIMSELF.

9. I actually worked for Pacific Bell in Dublin, CA...the source of his "insight."

I can tell you from personal experience that he missed about 80% of what actually went on inside those four walls.

When I was there it was intensely political. My boss was one of those "one in a million" guys. The Web was just becoming a part of the mainstream. I knew immediately that I wanted to be a part of it (I have been a self-employed Web Designer since 2001). When I worked for him, I had minimal knowledge of Web Design and no hands-on skills. I was on a contract position for about a year, so I networked heavily with the programmers on my team, and they loaned me HTML books. I bought a computer and my boss GAVE ME my first copy of Photoshop (it was version 4.0). And as I neared the end of my assignment he told me "I know this is what you really want to do. If you go out and learn the skills and I have an opening in the future, I'll hire you."

And time and time and time again I watched him get screwed over by HIS boss, and I watched the positioning and jockeying for power and he never allowed himself to become poisoned by it.

One day he had planned an "appreciation" lunch for our department. And on that morning, his boss held a meeting...which he was not invited to...in which she handed him a MAJOR screwing in front of his peers. EVERY ONE OF US told him "Look, we hate this, it pisses us off, we understand if you want to cancel lunch." And he said "NO, we're GOING," and he rose above it, and was in good spirits the whole time.

THAT was Pacific Bell, not some effing unfunny "Dilbert" strip.

17. You were so lucky to have a boss like that - what a great guy! Depth of character. A real leader.

[Aviation Pro]

7. A failed engineer....

...Wally, the useless fuck, is Adams, not Dilbert.

14. +1

[WinkyDink]

8. I love "Dilbert," and have every book! But I think I'll be going cold-turkey with this.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. I had always hoped he was just trolling Trump supporters

...because I've always enjoyed his strip and knowing he's a Trump fan might detract from my enjoyment.

But I guess the guy's full on Kool Aid. Unless he's doing a really deep Andy Kaufman level trolling.

[oberliner]

13. He is a hard-core Trump supporter

He's not trolling.

[dalton99a]

15. He's a hypocrite. He worships the pointy-haired boss in real life.

In this instance, Trump

[Foamfollower]

11. That's actually the most hilarious thing I've ever read that Scott Adams wrote!

Oh,...

you mean he was being serious...

[yardwork]

12. Scott Adams hates women. Naturally he loves Trump.

[Major Nikon]

16. Trump is able to persuade idiots because they identify with him

That doesn't mean he is capable of having an intelligent conversation about even that, much less anything else.

[Wounded Bear]

18. I used to like his strip...

it appears to be getting more and more RW, including such nuggets as climate denial and such.
