[Jacob Boehme]

Wow! Powerful does not even begin to describe this very pointed and direct letter to Trump.

Excerpt: 1.) Your “Achilles heel” has thus far proven to be your easily bruised ego, which is put on display with every one of your furious, sometimes bullying tweets. When you are President, however, you have more ways to retaliate and more ways to get both yourself and our country in trouble if you do so in such a spasmodic manner. This is the Big Leagues. Adversaries abroad are keenly aware of how easily they can provoke you into impulsive missteps that play into their hands. You would benefit from reading the 2004 book by Richard Clarke, Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror—What Really Happened, on leaving his position as anti-terrorist advisor to President George W. Bush.

In it, Mr. Clarke writes, “It was as if Osama bin Laden, hidden in some high mountain redoubt, was engaging in long-range mind control of George Bush, chanting, ‘Invade Iraq, you must invade Iraq.’”

1. Nader's time has passed.

Proof of his irrelevance: "You would benefit from reading the 2004 book...". He knows nothing.

Herr Twittler von Shit Gibbon can't read.

2. Who cares about Nader?

I really do not care about what Nader has to say on any issue

3. It's actually worth reading

The whole letter. He makes a lot of good points about DFT's personal deficiencies. Didn't agree with a couple of paragraphs but overall, it would be good for this to get exposure if only for citizens to say, 'You were warned...'

4. Stupid, old, ignorant Nader!

He is so out of touch, so elderly, so tired, so last Tuesday. We are so much cooler, so smart, so aware, so hip and happening we can hardly stand ourselves. We win every election. Our candidates beat all opponents at all levels. Our unbroken string of victories for 40 years shows no sign of abating. We are gods! Bow down before us, Nader! You got nothin!

5. Brilliant, fresh, savvy Nader! He's won every election since . . . .

yeah, fuck Nader, actually.

[HassleCat]

7. Yeah! Fuck him!

And everybody else who does third party. And everybody who does alt-left. And everybody who... Oh, just everybody, OK? We don't need your opinions, your money, your votes, nothing. We are happy just As we are.

6. Spasmodic is a perfect...

...word for DFT.
