In reply to the discussion: You had me at "I'll read it to you," Nancy. [View all]And that is what is so goddamned stomach-turning about this trump.
He doesn't believe in laws unless they benefit him or his interests. Pointing that out to him or his idiot lemmings is pissing into the wind:
"yeah whatever, talk to my lawyers. I'm president and you're not."
He doesn't believe in truth, unless a particular fact is somehow accidentally favorable to him. His casual and complete un accountability to truth is maddening, because he simply won't acknowledge lying. Ever. We can fact-check him and his minions until judgment day; there has never been a downside to his lying, never a negative consequence. His lemmings seem to enjoy that about him:
"HEY at least he's upfront about being a lying fuck!"
How the hell to we strategize against an amoral, smug, lying, disgusting creature like this? There have been no repercussions of any kind for the behavior we so loathe ins which he basks. "Going high" while he gutterizes himself hasn't seem to have been effective. Engaging him where he dwells is a fool's errand; he's a pig and can squeal far better than anyone we can muster.
