Counterpoint — Exxon’s $400mm man:

Yeah, I’ve often thought that Reagan or either of the Bushes would sort of be nice folks to have as neighbors, as long as we didn’t talk politics. Trump’s the kind of neighbor who would have a henchman poison your dog, and let you know it was him.

Orange Foolious is gold, I tells ya, Gold! Very good!

You’re right. He seems to think that when he writes up an Executive Order it automatically becomes law. Kind of like a Royal Decree, no?

A bill becomes a law when I say it becomes a law! - Trump, probably

What I think is interesting is that Trump himself is personally (not in terms of beliefs or policies, but personally) the meanest fucking guy to be president in my lifetime. Trump is constantly sneering at or launching personal attacks, but we’re supposed to feel bad because the media doesn’t fawn over him and people…

Trump and has staff are acting like their administration coming to power is essentially a corporate hostile takeover. They think they get to fire a bunch of people and do what they want. It’s painfully obvious that none of them have any idea what they’re doing. I’m going to enjoy watching them try and get a law…

Ding, ding, ding! This is, after all, the man who “knows more about ISIS than the Generals!” Bigly.

Exactly. He “watches all the shows,” so what need does he have for a National Security Advisor? Don is great at security, the best.

I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that Donald Trump is an anagram for Tan Lord Dump.

I really don’t see why Cheeto Hitler doesn’t just do it himself. Why does he need anyone else, anyway? Isn’t he the smartest, most well-informed, most brilliant tactitian the world has ever known?

It is almost as though the WH lies just for the sake of lying, now: it has become so reflexive. That they might lose face were they truthful to the American people on any subject.

So many loaded questions! I like this one, where you have to answer in the negative to the double-negative question:

They need to stop eating lead paint chips.

they need to stop trying to make alt left happen

I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you are telling the truth or when you are not. I just see many, many untruthful things. I will tell you what else I see. I see tone. You know the word tone. The tone is such hatred. I’m really not a bad person, by the way.

You’re totally right. We’ve had so many appalling examples of institutional and individual racism, sexism and violence in the past month from this administration that I can’t see how such something like this couldn’t have been fake newsed by them had they really wanted him in there.

Right? She was married to an extremely wealthy fast food restaurant CEO and yet couldn’t afford a trip to Chicago? Plus, I mean, I love Chicago, but it’s not like “oh, I wanted a free trip to Paris or Rome.”

I thought of that too, how humiliating to have to say you only wanted a free trip to Chicago, and that’s why you tried to blow up someone’s life..when you were actually beaten and just want to see your children. Really, really horrible.
