There’s a conservative out there who is more than tired of Trump’s bullsh!t and he’s saying the quiet part out loud. Now, if only more conservatives would follow his lead, we might get somewhere. Democrats have known about this for literally years. Trump was a moron back in his first term, and he’s even worse now, with the dementia kicking in. His staff are not exactly the brightest bulbs in the box, but they’re loyalists, and they enable him, and that is what we get to see. Oh, please, let’s not. From AlterNet:
Conservative political commentator Tim Miller said Saturday President Donald Trump is behaving like a 12-year-old by insulting his opponents and posting content attacking former President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. During his podcast on The Bulwark, titled “We’re being governed by 12-year-olds,” Miller said, “The president is 12, and everyone in the White House that works for him pretty much also is acting like they’re 12.” Miller’s comments come amid growing controversy over the official White House web pages and social-media channels being used for overtly political attacks.
So here, we have a favorite saying: Gee, ya think? Well, apparently, they don’t, and that’s the problem. We would be soooo over Trump in the first 5 minutes of his drivel. His speaking voice doesn’t help. It also sounds like he’s 12. Listening to him is painful. Add in the obfuscation and “the Weave” and OMG lemme outta here! Have mercy!
Miller accused the White House of publishing juvenile mockery of Obama, Clinton and others, and of using copyrighted music and TikTok-style edits to glorify aggressive law-enforcement tactics. The backlash deepened this month after Trump shared a widely condemned AI-generated video on his Truth Social platform in which he is depicted flying a fighter jet and dumping brown liquid purportedly over protesters at a nationwide “No Kings” demonstration. Singer Kenny Loggins demanded the removal of the video for unauthorized use of his song “Danger Zone,” calling the stunt “created with the sole purpose of dividing us.”
It certainly seemed that way, although even MAGA might be repulsed by it. That wasn’t funny to anyone but him and Stephen Miller, because it “owned the libs” and let him continue towards Project 2025. That man is a creep. So far, the consensus seems to be that it was disgusting. Yes, a 12-year-old. To close:
Miller added, “I like a sense of humor. There’s nothing wrong with joshing around… But that’s not what we’re getting. We’re getting 12-year-olds.” The White House has defended the use of social-media posts as part of its outreach strategy, while critics say the behavior undermines the dignity of the office and fuels partisan division.
So yes, we have this running the government of what used to be the most powerful country on the planet. The world is already laughing at us. They’ll see that video and ask What the Hell is wrong with this guy? He’s their president? Why did the US elect *him*? We might have a seat at the table, but it will be nowhere close to the head of the table like we used to be. Best guess? That will be China, and they will not pay attention to anything we say. The next Democratic president has a lot of work to do. We’re nothing now. Could s/he get anything back? Unknown.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
