This isn’t about being a “sore loser.”
It’s about having a President who the majority of Americans voted against who is doing things a majority of Americans don’t want and appointing people a majority of Americans despise.
Damn right we’re protesting.
The latest Quinnipiac polls confirm it all:
As for Trump’s positions himself:
He doesn’t represent us — us, the majority of Americans who didn’t want him in there. As President, he is supposed to represent all of us, and take into consideration everyone in America and not just the minority that elected him.
The more he acts as if we just don’t matter, the more we’ll fight back. Not because we’re poor losers.
Because we’re Americans.
The Super Bowl has tons of fans, and many people who, like me, could not care less. And that’s fine — we don’t have to all like the same forms of entertainment.
It would be a boring world if we all liked exactly the same thing, especially in the creative arts where new and different things can provide innovation and change for the better.
So what if I don’t like football? I might make jokes about it, but they’re meant in jest and are somewhat meant to make fun of me at the same time for being such a nerd. But this problem does come up every time there’s a huge sporting event — there are a bunch of posts on Facebook from people who seem to be laughing at those who look forward to the game.
So what if people are looking forward to the game? How does that hurt you in the slightest?
There are many things I like that you don’t, I’m sure of it, and there are many things you like that I don’t. But as long as it doesn’t hurt me, so what? Go ahead and like Justin Beiber or stock car racing or My Little Pony or the Super Bowl.
That doesn’t mean those things should be free from artistic criticism or analysis. You might like Sylvester Stallone movies but that doesn’t mean I can’t say they stink.
But, as the cartoon says, let people enjoy things.
Yesterday’s angry Trump Tweet showed clearly that the man whose job it is to oversee our government is completely unqualified for the position.
Yeah, how dare a judge (or in this case, six of them so far) declare that what Trump was doing was unconstitutional? Where does that judge get such an absurd idea — the Constitution?
Our President couldn’t pass a fifth grade civics course. If he were one of the refugees fleeing terrorism, he would fail the basic US citizenship test. As many of us said throughout the campaign, the man is the most unqualified person ever to run for President, and now he is the most unqualified President ever.
And it’s not like this is some left-wing spin against the man, with fake news. He proves it himself, every day, as he posts his angry tweets and speaks on things he has no knowledge of or even a desire to learn about. Just ask Frederick Douglass — I’m sure he’s around to tell you.
The fact is that Trump does not have the power to just ignore US laws (not to mention US treaties) and unilaterally decide our immigration policy, nor can he limit it to one religion. (Oh, come now, don’t give me that argument that it’s about countries when these are all Muslim countries and Trump himself has referred to it as a “Muslim ban” — he even uses the word “ban” in the tweet above. And I’m not even going to spend time showing that none of the countries chosen have been the source of terrorism in the US, while the countries that have are not part of the ban — remember, those other countries do business with Trump.)
Our so-called President is mad at this “so-called judge” (to use his words) who was appointed by that mad liberal George W. Bush. Then again, let’s remember the words of George W. Bush here: “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.”
But expecting our current so-called President to understand that? Why, that would require him to know something. And he clearly has no desire to learn.
By my count, there’s been six rulings already on this (and an appeal late last night), and not one has gone Trump’s way. Can all the judges, both liberal and conservatives, be completely wrong about the Constitution that they’ve spent their adult lives studying — or can Lord Dampnut be correct? You choose!
After Colin Mochrie pointed out that “Lord Dampnut” was an anagram of Donald Trump, inquiring minds wanted to know: What else can be made from the name?
Well, there’s
