The problem with what Trump said is that, intended or not, it comes off as a threat. With or without the second part.

Knowing Trump, his history, and the reason he was impeached, it's not unreasonable to consider it a threat. It would be nice to have an adult in the White House who doesn't need people kissing his ass about everything. Some people don't think they've done a great job, it's subjective, oh well. What happens if "they" aren't appreciative? Is he going to give priority to those who are?

 

I don't listen to Donald Trump.
I put it on for my mom, about 10 minutes or so.
If you listen to a talker talk you can sit there and point to all the times he misspoke.
Because the more you talk the more you err.
And he talks a lot.
If all you care about is picking at what he says while ignoring what he actually does then thats your way of doing things.
I talk a lot, its annoying to a hell of a lot of people.
Most people aren't pricks tho and so they don't look at everything I say and pick at it to find the gnat in my soup.
They either aren't in the mood for soup and walk away or they drink my milkshake and understand that it has some extra protein in it.
When im around pricks I don't talk as much.
If im running up against pricks that just want to goad me into argumentativeness it is best not to talk to them.
If Trump triggers your pricklyness then maybe you are just a prickly pear and need to look in the mirror so you can see the nopal on your forehead.
I know when something is triggering me it is usually because I have a scar there from getting too close to pricks.
Everyone is scarred up. You can't social distance or politically correct yourself enough to survive with all that scar tissue.
You need to toughen up the skin or you will distance yourself out of existence.
Cuz mental health is going to go south and not all of us are prepared to deal with our own shit, much less the masses around us.

 

It would be nice....
Nice is nice. Its not real though.
Specially now.
Facts are nice... and can be manipulated to suit feelings or bullshit.
Truth is kind... because its real.
It's love... and love bites sometimes.

You want to believe all that you just said.
I don't believe that Trump is going to give NY less help because the politicians in NY were not nice to him.
But it is very hard to help someone who is being hostile to you.
Try it in your life. Im sure you have experienced it.
No matter how much you love your job as a nurse and how much dedication you have to your craft and to caring for your patients... when you have a cranky old asshole that will cuss you out and call you a nigger or a spic or a fat bitch or whatever. The level of care you give might not be as high as when you are caring for the sweet old lady in the next room. Not because you want to treat them differently, but if you are tired and have to remember a lot of things you may more easily forget to get to the prick that bites your hand every time you try to feed it.
Its human nature.
You are nice to everyone because its your social duty and politically/personally expedient.
But you are kind to those who love you.
Because love begets love.
If Nancy Pelosi is talking shit and making up lies about me and trying to get me fired and trying to turn people against me on the daily... maybe I don't want her around when im trying to get shit done.
Go watch the old Ten Commandments movies.
Even Moses grew tired of all the bitches that came along with him when he let the dogs out of their cage.

 

exactly,
most of us are not trump lovers
he was the clown on tv that somehow became president
but im not going to bitch about what he says
ill bitch at what he does or doesnt do
like whenever someone brings up the kids in cages... i don't argue against them
i don't say well Obama did it too!
that's a bitch move
i let them say what they say because its not my job to defend trump
im not his proxy
i don't identify with him or anyone else in power
i have to deal with whatever it is that they DO
i do not have to care about what they say just because I dont like it
because I also know that we all say things and reserve others
those we talk to do not have all the information we have in our heads when we are explaining shit
so you are bound to be misinterpreted
people need to cut folks slack when they don't understand the person
your first idea should be that YOU possibly misheard or made a mistake
then you have to have grace and your second idea should be that possibly the other guy made a mistake and just said something wrong by accident
he got a fact wrong, numbers wrong, gave speech to a dumb thought that flew into his head after a long hard day, etc...
all you have to do is ask the person what they meant when they said X
then if they tell you that yes, they wanted to be an asshole and offend you on purpose
THEN you may want to check your feelings
this fixes 99% of problems people have with each other
most of the time its only the 1% thats the problem
you deal with that and don't sweat the little ones

 

and you, enjoy the next month off

 

Irish, do your best.

 

i’ve done my deed for the day
i’ll leave him to you and craig

or... give diablo and finski mod power and let them wreak havoc and ban all the douches
