Random Thoughts: Trump Tweets and Independence Day

You don’t have a right to anything someone else has to provide.

For people who have it better off than anyone else in human history, we sure whine a lot.

Free markets gives no guarantee, but consistently delivers best results. Government gives guarantees it can’t honor. People want guarantees.
It’s like from Tommy Boy, but people would rather you take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed.

I guess the NYT’s defense in Palin’s suit will be that their editorial board wasn’t malicious but just some of the dumbest people in print.
I might be sympathetic to that argument.

I don’t know the merits of Palin’s lawsuit, but NYT wrote an editorial based on slanderous nonsense. Someone should have been fired.

I was once on the cover of Time, but I don’t hang it up in my country clubs.

"…and that’s why you got Trump."

Single-payer sounds like a great idea unless you’re the one selected by lottery to pay for everyone’s health care.

I’m sure by year six he’ll start acting presidential.

Anyone want a hot take on why it’s good the president is attacking someone about her facelift? I can get you a 1000 words, but I’m not cheap.

We’d rather a right to health care than health care.

Hadn’t read comic book in a while and thinking of getting the Elmer Fudd/Batman crossover. $5! What rich elitists comic book readers must be.

Supergirl is by far the dumbest of the CW DC comics shows, but I like their Superman better than the current movie Superman.
Superman is supposed to be hopeful and uplifting (counterpoint to Batman). That’s why DCEU Wonder Woman is better Superman than Superman.

I don’t care for the new NRA ad, but I’m also not outraged by it.
They lose me early on with the “They’re saying mean things about the president!” line.

My wife woke me at 2am to kill a spider. Didn’t she learn anything from watching Wonder Woman?

Baby Driver’s nemesis is Toonces the Driving Cat.

Trump is a terrible human being, but if he continues to be ineffective implementing any of his plans, he could be an above-average president.

I might be in a bubble, but so far I haven’t seen anyone on the left comment on the Charlie Gard case one way or another.
When you’re pushing more government control over health care, it seems like you might want to address worst-case horror stories.
Of course, this is beyond single-payer. It’s not just the government saying it won’t pay; it’s saying you can’t pay either.

So what are the parameters on a preferred pronoun? Like, can I state that it always has to be capitalized?
I’m going to make my preferred pronoun 135 characters long to make it really hard to make fun of me on Twitter.

If they repeal Obamacare, is there a repeal ceremony? Like dumping the law into a fire pit while Obama is forced to watch?

lit by the burning law, Trump points a finger at a weeping Obama
“Ash is your legacy now! ASH!”

In Trump’s defense, vomiting every incoherent thought he has onto Twitter did make him president, so I’m not sure why he should stop now.

Of the sociopaths in DC, the Dems are the more annoying ones since they really really want everyone to believe they care about people.

“I am the very model of a modern U.S. president…”

For twelfth anniversary, did the tasting menu at Barley Swine in Austin. Highly, highly recommend.

In Chris Christie’s defense [ERROR: Second half of sentence not found.]

I constantly get Alison Brie and Brie Larson confused.

Happy Independence Day! Try to whine less and do more with the insane amount of advantages you’ve inherited.

Wait. What do I say to followers from other countries on the 4th? “Our condolences.”

If you’re cool and from another country, come live in America. It’s the best. If you’re not cool, stay where you are.

What makes US great is it’s dedication to freedom, not government programs. Plenty of countries with govt that make promises they can’t keep.
But a dedication to freedom is truly respect for all people. That is rare and worth fighting for.

  1. “What makes US great is it’s dedication to freedom, not government programs. Plenty of countries with govt that make promises they can’t keep.
    But a dedication to freedom is truly respect for all people. That is rare and worth fighting for.”

    I think you are kinda losing America at ‘dedication to freedom’.

  2. I have to admit I’d think the editorial stance on this page would be Pro-Trump.
    He’s the perfect, nuke-the-moon, type of POTUS and now, we have the Norks worrying about our poofy-haired maniac!
    I just don’t get it.

  3. “For twelfth anniversary, did the tasting menu at Barley Swine in Austin. Highly, highly recommend.”

    If this is like that other place “Barley Legal Swine” then no thank you.

  4. Obama tried to turn America into another Muslim Banana Republic. If Hillary had been elected she would have tried to turn America into the worlds first Socialist Lesbian Monarchy. She would have won a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing also and Maddow would have been her VP with Squaw Warren as Secretary of the Interior. She would try to change the Supreme Court and replace it with Code Pink. Rosie O’Donnell would be Secretary of State and she would demand AYCE buffets when over seas.

  5. When you’re pushing more government control over health care, it seems like you might want to address worst-case horror stories.

    “They’re horror stories. Just ignore them.”
    “Yes, but are they true horror stories, or are they fictional horror stories?”
    “They’re horror stories. Just ignore them.”

    Of course, this is beyond single-payer. It’s not just the government saying it won’t pay; it’s saying you can’t pay either.

    Actually, it’s exactly single-payer. After all, if the single-payer won’t pay, but they let someone else pay, then the payer’s not so single, now, is he?

    Personally, I think it’s scandalous that some nations have payers that aren’t in a stable, committed relationship.

  6. “Donald Trump is the opposite of everything I said I hate about politics, stop giving me what I ask for!”

    As if anybody else was better? Which Republican wouldn’t have just been another rubber stamp like GWB?

  7. “It’s like from Tommy Boy, but people would rather you take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed.”

    Only if it is “FREE” (paid with other peoples’ monies)
