The Tantrum

He's a toddler, and we're placating a toddler. How did we get here? 

You probably already saw the infamous Meet the Press interview where he stormed out. In case you haven't: 

Or, if you're like me and can't listen to his voice, you can find a quick overview here

  1. I watched a clip. It still boggles my mind how he doesn’t merely have support but has created a cult of worshippers that will defend anything he does or says…

    1. Anything (e.g., "Well, he's playing 3D chess, you know."). It astounds me.

  2. I shouldn't be surprised by his behavior anymore, but I still am.

  3. It's disgusting the way he acts. Clearly never had a consequence for bad behavior his entire life. It's still a shock the way he conducts himself. Disgusting.

  4. What a hot mess he is. He lives in a whole different world than we do. He doesn't know fact from fiction, such a liar. What maddens me more than what he says and does, is that main stream media doesn't stand up to him. He gets lots of free air time, just like he did during the 2 campaigns. He got far more free time than either Clinton or Biden/Harris did.

  5. Later this week I will be among people I've known for years. Some are his supporters. No, I didn't watch the full clip and I don't intend to. Toddler doesn't begin to explain it. As Adam Kinzinger says, the guardrails are gone and countries that experience that know that it doesn't end well. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  6. I'm still a Conservative, but, more and more, I find myself saying, "That effing guy."

  7. He just plain evil. And I don't toss that word around freely.

  8. I have wondered quite frequently: How did the US get here?

  9. Kristen did an amazing job. We should focus on getting her an award. A big, golden award. Then we can watch someone throw a fit because he wants the gold award and it isn't fair that he didn't get it because she never would have won if he weren't such a challenge to interview.

  10. Anyone else and this would have been over. Arrested, impeached. But this little $%&*, he just keeps on getting away with it. No accountability. He is surrounded by brown nosers. It is infuriating.

I appreciate your comments.

I respond to comments* via email, unless your profile email is not enabled. Then, I'll reply in the comment thread. Eventually. Probably.

*Exception: I do not respond to "what if?" comments, but I do read them all. Those questions are open to your interpretation, and I don't wish to limit your imagination by what I thought the question was supposed to be.
