'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams blasts Trump's white supremacist answer: 'He screwed me'

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by applegrove (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Hill

Scott Adams, the creator of the “Dilbert” comic strip, blasted President Trump’s white supremacist answer during the presidential debate, saying, “He screwed me.”

Adams, who has defended Trump for his comments about the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., said during his recent podcast the president lost his vote due to his answer on debate moderator Chris Wallace’s white supremacy question.

“He botched it,” Adams said. “It was a layup. It was free money sitting on the f---ing table and he left it there, and he left me on that table, too. He left me just exposed.

“He lost my vote,” he added “Can he get it back? Yeah, all he’d have to do is fix that.”

Color me shocked; Scott was recently screeching that the unwatchably dull Dilbert cartoon was cancelled because Scott Adams is white. And that "they" told him that to his face. (And he saw one of the babies, and the baby looked at him.)

It was canned--along with a bunch of other barrel-bottom shows far less "Wonder Bread" than Dilbert--a decade ago, and he was sniveling about it a couple of months ago.

All them Those People be out to get him! They're probably why the Dilbert comic strip is one of those has-been loser strips that fill space in my local free fishwrapper.

Imagine, this guy thinks THIS exposed him.

If we can't make decent people out of supporters of, for instance, incredibly vicious cruelty against children and executions of citizens on the street -- and we can't, let's be glad when Trump angers and embarrasses a few by not lying for them when they imagine it would matter.

while trying to save face at the same time.

So obvious. Sorry, you don't get off that easy.

I can't wait until after the election, assuming Trump loses, and even MORE shite comes out about his traitorous crimes, the likes of Collins, and Graham, and others will be going in front of the cameras whining how "if they only knew" blah blah blah.


“Can he get it back? Yeah, all he’d have to do is fix that.”

So a teleprompter read of someone else's written speech, like the one he read after his first Charlettesville statement. The one he read, in monotone, with dead eyes, like he was taking medicine? I guess that was enough for you then.

Of all the things you have been okay with Trump doing, hard to believe a simple promise to violently overthrow the Republic would upset you.
