    Re: POTUS 45.08: Suckers

    Still a better choice than Hillary right?

    President Trump did not understand that the US cannot negotiate a trade deal with Germany alone and must deal with the European Union as a bloc, a senior German official told The Times of London.

    "Ten times Trump asked [German chancellor Angela Merkel] if he could negotiate a trade deal with Germany. Every time she replied, 'You can’t do a trade deal with Germany, only the EU,'" the official said.

    They continued: "On the eleventh refusal, Trump finally got the message, 'Oh, we’ll do a deal with Europe then.'"

    Merkel reportedly told her cabinet members that Trump had "very basic misunderstandings" on the "fundamentals" of the EU and trade.

    The exchange occurred when Merkel met with Trump last month and reportedly convinced him to negotiate with the EU as a bloc after attempts by his administration to deal with individual countries were declined.

        As long as Trump or any other unfit jagbag can arouse people's fears, he or she is on the yellow brick road. It's the soft underbelly. The GOPers are so good at it because they have had to appeal to a conservative base forever--a base that is fear-responsive. Bo may know baseball, but they know the monkey brain.

          In a way the country is uniting again. Not the 29%, obviously -- they live in their own bubble. But the 71% rest of us, including the conservatives who have brains, wake up every morning and think "what did the jackoff tweet overnight?" We're all just trying to survive the next four years.

          I think we are developing an esprit du corps like WW1 soldiers in the trenches. And we're all thinking, "Lord, just get me to 2020 and I promise this will never happen again."

          Victims of natural disasters often come out of the experience with tremendous feelings of community. We all may just do that.

              And just how did they do that? By saying it's not ok to kick and make fun of the queer and trans-gendered people? By saying it's ok if two men or two women want to get married, and you shouldn't be allowed to turn them away from your business just cause you think that's icky? That cops shouldn't be allowed to kill the black guy just cause he opened the car door too quickly?

              If that's what it is, then working and middle class Americans need to straighten up, get their heads out of their azzes and HTFU.

                Well we will see. Right now you have the center/right pundits like SE Cupp and her ilk admonishing the Right and Trump and if that keeps up then yeah. If they start to get (as Cupp called it on Maher) "amnesia" about the hypocrisy that is going on then all bets are off.

                If any true moderates are out there in the GOP right now is their chance to show it. And no being pragmatic like a few of them are (I will vote against the party when my vote doesnt matter) doesnt count. Someone needs to stand up and wake these nimrods up.

                  I'm not talking about moderates vs radicals. Really there are very few moderate conservatives left -- if there are they're centrist Dems. That's a consequence of the extreme pendulum swing of the right over the last 30 years: the GOP middle is where the crazy radicals used to be, and extremist conservatives like the Freedumbers are essentially policy terrorists.

                  I'm talking about the split between people who are capable of thought and the Trump crowd. We're being held hostage right now by literally the stupidest people in the nation. Ideology at the moment is secondary to cognitive competence. Right or left, people with a brain are looking at each other, looking at Trump, and edging towards the door. Obviously conservatives can't say that out loud because of partisanship, but right now the thinking people in this country are all in the same boat.

                  It's a cross between being under enemy occupation and this.

                            Yes, I'm well aware, and I laughed when I read it. There are some, however, who refuse to see the truth. There here are Dems who won't or can't accept that their base is uninviting to the blue collar workers they need at the polls. Meanwhile, there are Repubs, like my cousin, who can't understand why people think many in their voting base are racists, and thus driving away the old Rockefeller Repubs.

                              The irony is the GOP and the Dems inside the Beltway -- the real people who do the work, not the people on TV -- are exactly the same person, fresh out of Princeton or Stanford. The Republicans are just better at playing dumb.
