A day without stupid?

[gmbteach]

Trump is always a "twit," regardless of the day of the week.

Wish I could up-rep you over and over again for this.

Sure he speaks every day but there are also a lot of stupidity in the media and people who believe anything they are told. All of this is related.

No, it is not. The topic of the OP is not general stupidity,but the daily stupidity coming out of the President of the United States mouth. There is an expectation that the President of the United States will act like a dignified and reasonable adult. It is unsettling to have someone who could easily OK a nuclear war talking and acting like a 9 year old having a tantrum.

Trump doesn't have a monopoly on assininity as as also evidenced by the media bleatings and actions of some in the USA.

Is someone arguing that you're not in his league?

Marxists!

people who believe anything they are told.

Trumpsuckers. Watched a little Faux Nooz last night. They were already telling people that Mueller is part of the "Anti-Trump Conspiracy".
Some 40% of people believe that crap.

40%. Has his approval gone up? I don't know how reliable he would be. As I mentioned an investigation should be impartial. Hopefully it will be. Meanwhile Putin's evaluation of this as Schizophrenic is pretty apt. In other words mass stupidity is apt. Maybe Putin will provide the transcript but will that silence the unsubstantiated bleatings.

All we have so far is
Alleged.................

Since Trump came to office, has there been a day when he didn't do or say anything outrageously stupid?

I've taken a quick look, and it's just utter mind-blowing idiocy every day. Most days several times a day.

It's not just Trump shooting his mouth off; its others also. For instance Marxist Butt-hurt groups who are trying to censor free speech in universities and the media and Politicians at war with each other, thus being destracted from the real issues facing the USA.

Let's home the US can now conduct a rational investigation into the allegations yet not supported in fact which are being fanned in the media.
Putin's description of the situation as Schizophrenic is befitting.

Wut? But they're not the president. Trump doesn't become smart because you're able to find somebody dumber. You're applying preposterous standards. Compare him to, let's say, Obama. I don't think Obama said or did anything he hadn't thought through. Which is his job. It is also Trump's job. Trump doesn't represent himself. He represents the whole country as well as the Republican party. He has two hats on at the moment. Whenver he opens his mouth he needs to figure out what hat he is wearing and how he can best serve the people he represents. That means listening to his advisers. Not spouting his mouth off. That's his job. The actual job. I don't think he's doing it.

Random Marxist commentators on the street don't have that job. They can say whatever they want because they only represent whatever tiny organisation they represent. You can't compare them.

Are you insane? If the media wouldn't be fanning this, they wouldn't be doing their jobs. They're not pointing out thngs that isn't there. Trump really did all this shit. He's a political leader on the same level as Moammar Gadhafi or Kim Jong Un. Ie, a total joke.

Yeah, but Muammar Gaddafi did it with full regalia

As a comedy show, the Trumpfarting lacks an element of seriousness to bring out the low comedy. It is getting too same-ish.

That would explain why the national anthem is changing to the Benny Hill Theme...

No one is alleging Trump has a monopoly on assininity or stupid utterances. So why are you babbling about a monopoly on assininity in a thread about the daily stupid emanating from Trump?

Simple Rule #29 -- If the only evidence of the impending destruction of the orderly structure of society you have is what is happening on an university campus, you have no evidence of the impending destruction of the order of society.

If I had to rate the relative degree of the threat to our republic of the rantings of a Marxist man child on a university campus and threat to our republic of the seventy some year old man child we elected to the presidency I would rate the latter as a much bigger threat.

To the point that I would be embarrassed to have raised the former threat as somehow mitigating the latter threat.

and the media and Politicians at war with each other, thus being destracted from the real issues facing the USA.

But most people seem to believe that having elected an incompetent man child to the presidency is a real issue facing the US. Why don't you? Do you believe that Trump has so far demonstrated the competence and the temperament to be president? What would he have to do to convince you that he is incompetent and temperamentally unfit to be president? Nuke Iran?

Even if Trump didn't conspire with the Russians, even if his brain dead, hamfisted attempts to stop the Flynn investigation somehow danced close to the line of illegality but didn't go over it, then we are left with a president who doesn't understand where the line is and thinks that he isn't constrained by it and who behaves as if he is conspiring with the Russians to harm the US.

Let's home the US can now conduct a rational investigation into the allegations yet not supported in fact which are being fanned in the media.

We have a representative democracy. One of the ways we get our representatives off of their butts to do something is by fanning allegations in the media. The questions that are important are if the allegations are supported by the known facts and what are the unknown facts that can be dug up. Or are the allegations are based on "alternative facts" dreamed up by the present day versions of Roger Ailes?

Do you believe that we would have an independent investigator today if the media hadn't investigated these problems and reported on their findings?

Putin's description of the situation as Schizophrenic is befitting.

I agree with Putin, the problem is schizophrenia, but it is not the situation as much as it is with the man child.

The NIH's definition of schizophrenia,

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling.
