A strange lesson learned from Donald Trump.."JUST, SHUT THE F**K UP"!!!

...I have a good friend that said something yesterday that hurt me a whole lot. What it was is not
important, but I have known this friend for many years. This morning I realized how she hurt
me, and I wanted to get on the phone and give her a piece of my mind. So, as I got ready to call
this gal, (who deep down is a wonderful and kind person, who really wouldn't hurt anyone) I thought
to myself, "Do I need to do this right now?" Can calling her wait? Think it over Stuart, and try to
relax. Is it worth starting the day with a hostile conversation with someone who I deeply care about.?
I thought about it some more. Trump would say whatever needs to be said, RIGHT NOW!!

...Just maybe, this can wait. It is Saturday, and this gal works very hard during the week in a very
difficult job (social worker), so can this wait? I thought some more....Yes, this can indeed wait, and
I need to think this one over more. I came to the conclusion that this conversation does NOT NEED TO
BE MADE RIGHT NOW, AND I CAN WAIT. ...Yes, I thought about Trump yelling out whatever he wants to say, and whenever he wants.. ALL THETIME.......

...Perhaps, this can be dealt with in another way, not getting mad and telling her off right now. Yes, it can wait, and think about this later in the day. This whole event will not change anything between two people, and waiting can serve a purpose: "Relax and think it over, ..do not destroy this friendship on a Saturday.
.......................... Do not destroy this friendship at all...........................................

...Maybe there is another way to deal with this issue." Do not put out a "Donald Trump."
...........AND, for this moment just...."SHUT THE F**K UP."

...Yes, I am a slow learner, but I did learn something from Trump: "There are times to shout out, and
................................."TIMES TO SHUT UP."................................ .
.....................This is a time to: "SHUT THE F**K UP, AND WAIT."......................................

...There are often many ways to solve an issue, and going off and screaming and yelling at someone is
usually NOT the best way..........................................................................
....................example: DONALD TRUMP ALL THE TIME!!!!

..Perhaps this is the best I can do at 10am Central Time on a Saturday.."SHUT THE F**K UP."
...Wait a while..... ...Take it easy and relax.....Think about this later, and that's OK!!!!

One word perfectly describes Donald Trump,..."BULLY"

...That word is it. Many of us know bullies and have been affected by bullies. Some of us may be bullies. The word bully is the perfect word, because that is who Trump is, was, and will always be.
If a person watches him carefully, it is clear, Donald Trump enjoys being a bully.
He never stops being a bully. My guess is that he has been told to stop this behavior,
but he won't stop no matter what the consequences.
...Trump likes pushing people around, giving orders, and seeing people respond to his orders. Yes, he enjoys being a bully, and that is why he will never stop. One more idea on this topic. In most of his life, Donald Trump has gotten away with being a bully with few consequences. But that time is over. In 6 days Trump see the consequences of his being a bully in ways he never imagined.

How Mitch McConnell Delivered Justice Amy Coney Barrett's Rapid Confirmation: NYT


https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/us/mcconnell-barrett-confirmation.html
Oct. 27, 2020, ...Updated 8:31 p.m. ET, written by: Carl Hulse

WASHINGTON — Within hours of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death last month, Senator Mitch McConnell was on the phone with President Trump, assuring him that Senate Republicans would not hesitate to fill the sudden vacancy despite the imminent election.

But he offered a word of warning to the president: “This will be the hardest fight of my life,” Mr. McConnell said, according to an aide. “We have to play this perfectly.”

There was good reason for caution. Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, had moved just as quickly in 2016 to block President Barack Obama from filling a Supreme Court vacancy nine months before the election, saying voters should decide who selected the next justice. Now, he was proposing to brazenly reverse course and muscle through a nominee who would cement a conservative court majority in the middle of presidential voting and a pandemic that had reached the Senate.

Breaking the rules...Ok, They will get what they have sown.

..Our side will show them how rules can be broken. If we get a strong majority, then we will increase the size of the court. That will be an ugly, mean, and vicious fight but it will happen. Other fights will make this one look quite ordinary.

So we must get out and vote and get that strong majority in the Senate.
As someone pointed out..."The fight has just begun." And Yes,..."It has just begun."

About what will happen after Trump loses.

Some time after the loss Trump will go to Mar a Lago and stay there. Yes, stay there. Not come back to the White House and if even he attends the inauguration, it will be a one day trip. His children and his wife will clear out the "stuff" but most of it would have been cleared out when he leaves to go to Mara a Lago. Trump will stay and golf at his club and spend time with his friends and compatriots. He will not talk to the press, and will not talk about his terrible loss to anyone. (Yes, I think it will be one of the worst for any sitting president ever)

When Trump gets around to interviews, it will be Fox News only. That is my speculation as to what will
happen after Trump loses by a HUGE MARGIN...

Trump's campaign made stops nationwide. Coronavirus cases surged in his wake in at least 5 places

U.S.A. Today:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2020/10/22/trumps-campaign-made-stops-nationwide-then-coronavirus-cases-surged/3679534001/

An investigation into the latest accelerated spread of coronavirus in multiple states appears to be linked to President Donald Trump's string of campaign rallies over the last several weeks.

As coronavirus plagues states all across America, Trump continues to blatantly disregard how dangerous his campaign rallies are for his campaign staff, White House advisors and aides, and everyone who attends his political events. Now, USA Today has explained the extent of the spreads in several counties following the rallies

Together, those counties saw 1,500 more new cases in the two weeks following Trump’s rallies than the two weeks before – 9,647 cases, up from 8,069.

Public health officials additionally have linked 16 cases, including two hospitalizations, with the rally in Beltrami County, Minnesota, and one case with the rally in Marathon County, Wisconsin. Outside of the counties identified by USA TODAY with a greater case increase after rallies, officials identified four cases linked to Trump rallies.

Although there’s no way to determine definitively if cases originated at Trump’s rallies, public health experts say the gatherings fly in the face of all recommendations to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

USA TODAY reviewed coronavirus case counts in the counties where Trump attended rallies starting from mid-August through mid-October. The news organization examined the rate of increase in virus cases for the two weeks before and after campaign events. For rallies occurring within the past two weeks, not enough time has passed to draw conclusions.

If Trump had admitted early on that..."he made a mistake in saying it was a hoax..

then how many lives would have been saved?

Maybe.. tens of thousands of lives would have been saved. Donald Trump does not want to ... "admit he makes mistakes." It is that simple in my opinion. Let's say that he said that in early or late May. " I made a terrible mistake and we must take total and complete precautions from this life killing disease. This disease could kill tens of thousands of us."
....I learned early on that it was ok to make mistakes, and that is why they put erasers on pencils.
(and is that why there is a delete key on this computer?)

...So how many lives would have been saved? Your guess is as good as mine.
But Trump didn't say that because he wanted to stick by.."it is a hoax" and will go away soon. Being right on that was more important than saving lives....Wait...he said it again last night?..Didn't he?

....Kind of like proof that he really doesn't care about anyone but himself. And his being totally correct,
is more important than anything else. Totally sick piece of s**t.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
