Maybe I'm unpatriotic - but bear with me, it's just a thought experiment - but I think the president
isn't competent. And not only isn't competent but doesn't have the best interests of the country in his heart anyway. And given that he appears to only have his own interests at heart, and given that he's incompetent, he isn't even serving his own interests in any sensible or helpful way.
Which is to then ponder the question, which I know is terrible even to think because, holy shit, the guy's a messiah and the answer to America's prayers to be great again - but is he really?
Am I the only one who thinks this way? The guy's got an approval rating that's through the fucking roof - something like 35-38%! - which no president ever has had, but, God forgive me, there's a part of me that thinks this might be... I don't even know what to call it. Not quite cricket? Oh, God, that sounds so harsh, though, for such a good and decent man as Donald.
But, I'm just saying, if this were, say, a classroom of first graders in which all the kids are geniuses and beloved because they're fresh and pure just like God made them, Donald might be the boy who gets his penis caught in his zipper even though he's about the task of cleaning the blackboard.
I know, he's our president, and we here at DU totally support all Republicans - go Mruka! Am I rigbht?!!!!!! - but this one.... this one seems a little off. Like the kid at school who eats glue, not because he wants to get high or make a political point, but because he's just too goddamned stupid to understand that eating glue isn't the same thing as putting on a shirt or eating lunch or reading a book.
Anyway - been a long long time since I started a thread here at DU! Hello everyone!! I've missed you! I comment occasionally, but holy shit I've been busy the past decade and haven't said much. But I'm paying more attention to DU since Chief Blunderbuss shitblossom became president.
And for those who remember me from the Shrub years and how much vitriol and pure hate I projected at that piece of garbage, please know that whatever I felt for Dubya, the way I feel toward Donald is multiple degrees of magnitude more and whenever I hear Shrubya talk on TV now (like recently with his mother's death) I seriously find myself begging God to please let Dubya come back.
I mean, holy shit, that's where this country has come. I remember when Shrub was president thinking, "Holy shit, I'd give anything to have Nixon back." And now that Donald is in the White House, I'm wishing like hell for Shrubya to come back. Though actually wishing for Obama or Carter, but in the sense of "If we have to have a Republican, could we have someone with the leadership competence and intellectual acumen of George W please?"
Fuck.
Howdy!
= new reply since forum marked as read
How good to see you posting once again! I have missed you.
And your remarks are so right on.
Please stick around. We need your cogent thinking.
And for hilarity, keep an eye out for TheFerret. He has a blog which he posts here and he's hilarious and scatological and all good stuff like that.
Howdy back!
Well, as to how many posts.......I've been here since 2005, and even though I've slowed down some, I am still here.
I hope to see more of your posts!

well, this wherrrrrre we find ourrrrrrselves and fook if us if we fail, once again...

✌🏼️
some of which have included actually getting politically active and involved in my community instead of just bitching online, which was my old method. That's been really satisfying in a great many ways!
But there are times I need the catharsis of DU anonymity where I don't have to be nice like I need to do on Facebook and just can just rant away and let out my anger.
We've missed your wit and wisdom! 
And you're certainly right, this is the best place to keep up with the news - DUers are the best anywhere on that, something we need desperately these days. But we're also "not a glum lot," and we need the humor we find here more than ever right now! It's great to see you back!
Long time - no see!
