The Last of Us 2: The Lastest of Us.

Well, his whole appeal was about railing against the establishment and talking about how he could magically get things done when he was in power. But now he’s been elected, he’s the establishment and telling people he’s going to do amazing things instead of actually doing them isn’t going to fly for much longer. I do…

It’s all very student council president: “I’m going to make the school lunch people serve us pizza WHENEVER WE WANT!”

“I know right? It’s not like there were a billion articles leading up to the election reminding us that he was a crook.”

Yeah, that surprises me, too. Although I suppose this is a tiny minority of tRump supporters. Many won’t figure out after four years that he screwed them over.

It’s strange to even call it a “con” though - that suggests some subterfuge. Everything was so out in the open. Some of his supporters are upset that he’s abandoning “promises” he will never have the power to fulfill as president, but others are upset he’s doing the things he promised to do (and which will be in his…

You know, if he wasn’t such an utter creep, it might be a charming flaw. But he is an utter creep, so it’s creepy.

Given tRump’s penchant for projecting, when he started talking about massive voter fraud, I immediately started idly musing: “Hmm, maybe he’s aware of voter fraud perpetrated for him?” This is just reinforcing that notion. It doesn’t help that 5000 votes “mysteriously” got added to his tally in a few counties in…

He cared enough about his quarter-million dollar investment to previously take legal action against the company.

Yeah, but it’s more than that which will kill us. Not only is Cheeto Mussolini such an extreme example of the effect (knowing absolutely nothing while believing himself to be an unparalleled expert), he also isn’t capable of learning anything, and he has a narcissistic personality disorder to boot - plus a rather…

“Colbert was so spot on with his “truthiness” routine about a decade ago.”

Those are some sweet, sweet membership cards, I must say.

Hmm,

During the campaign, it was hard to tell how much of what he said he believed. It was hard to fathom that someone who hadn’t read a book since, well, possibly ever actually thought he “[knew] more about ISIS than the generals.” It seems like, walking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect that he is, he actually did…

With tRump, given his cabinet picks, we get to have both!

The man is the living embodiment of the Dunning–Kruger effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect ) and I think he just doesn’t understand how complex the presidency (or much of anything else) is, at all.

“Did his voters just not care how bad and dangerous he is going to be for the citizens of this country?”

Even if they did, tRump has been deliberately missing briefings. He can’t be bothered to know what he needs to know for the job, because it’s not a job he intends or wants to do. His geopolitical education probably stopped in high school, and he doesn’t care.

The problem is, he promised to metaphorically run over the bosses’ dog, set fire to the place, etc. before he interviewed for the job, and he still got hired. About a quarter of tRump supporters indicated they thought he’d start a nuclear war. His supporters. The few tRump supporters who are now voicing surprise at…

“How do you find yourself one month away from being the leader of the free world, and yet you don’t avail yourself of EVERY opportunity to be prepared?”
