As Sue is fond of saying, we don’t regulate stupidity, either.

No, we don't regulate it, but I am firmly of the opinion that stupidity should be more immediately painful to those engaging in it, in the hope of achieving some behavior modification.

Unfortunately these days stupidity is usually more immediately painful to those surrounding the engager who is often oblivious to the consequences.

• Think about how stupid the average person is...and then realize that half of ‘em are stupider than that.

• You cannot reason with unreasonable people...attempting to do so gives you stomach cancer. Point and laugh instead, you feel better and the stupidity then serves a useful purpose.

the funny thing is that this is only going to help trump with independents

the woodward book too.....

Yeah, about that:

Trump’s unpopularity with independent voters gives fresh warning to Republicans ahead of midterms

President Donald Trump is rapidly losing favour among independent voters and has a low approval rating in general despite a strong economy, two new polls show, providing fresh warning signals for the president and the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections.

A new CNN poll found Mr Trump's approval rating at just 36 per cent and put his approval among independents at 31 per cent, a new low and a rapid drop down from 47 per cent last month.

Recent reports have suggested independents could comprise up to 30 per cent of the electorate in this year's midterms, meaning they could make or break the GOP's grip on its majority in Congress in November.

A separate poll from Quinnipiac University, also released on Monday, showed Mr Trump's approval rating at 38 per cent and found 54 per cent of American voters disapprove of the job he is doing. It also found just 36 per cent of independent voters approve of Mr Trump.

The poll did show, however, that Mr Trump's approval with his base remains strong. Overall, 84 per cent of Republicans approve of the job Mr Trump is doing, the poll found.

Strong economic growth also does not seem to be winning over new voters for Mr Trump, however.

Mr Trump's low approval ratings nationwide come as his administration fights off allegations of chaos within his administration in Bob Woodward's new book, "Fear," as well as claims in a recent anonymous New York Times op-ed of a "quiet resistance" against the president in the White House.

woodward called Kelly and mattis liars....

...are you willing to take that step too far?

my guess is no.

[wesw]

just as you have never called me a Nazi, I believe that even you have your limits.

And Mark Felt denied being "Deep Throat" for more than 30 years. Until he admitted it.

I trust Bob Woodward to tell the truth more than I would trust anyone in Trump World to do so. Particularly Kelly, who has seriously degraded himself in service to Cheeto Mussolini.

if you say so...., comrade.

BREAKING NEWS: Second Anonymous Op-Ed by Senior WH Official Published
Letter Seeks to Rebut Critical NY Times Op-Ed

(Washington) A second anonymously authored op-ed has been released on the website of Fox & Friends online, denying claims made in an op-ed released last week.

We have obtained a copy of both the letter and Fox & Friends’ note accompanying the released version. Both follow.

Late last week, the NY Times published an anonymously written op-ed, purportedly from a “senior White House official,” that painted a picture of a chaotic White House and an unstable president at the helm. Following publication, Fox & Friends was contacted by a different, high-level, senior White House official with a response. The person contacting us is known to Fox & Friends, and with our reputation for honesty being on the line, we can assure you this person is real and is indeed newsworthy. To protect this person’s identity, we took the unusual step of allowing the person to dictate the letter to us via telephone. Below is an unedited transcript of the dictated letter:

To Whom It May Concern,

Last week, the failing New York Times…and believe me, they’re failing..very sad…they published a letter criticizing the Trump administration. The letter was written by a coward. Probably someone who doesn’t like Trump, because they are part of the crooked swamp. So I call them the ‘crooked coward.’ I like that. Crooked coward. This crooked coward said that Trump has a leadership style that is petty and ineffective. Can you believe it? They really wrote that. Sad. Everybody knows Trump is the most successful real estate developer in the history of the world. And he created the greatest show ever to appear on television. As soon as he left, the ratings went down. Without Trump, the show is boring. If you want to see bad management style, just look at Obama. The worst. The absolute worst. Horrible trade deals. NAFTA, which was the worst deal ever. The Iran deal, which was also the worst deal ever. Two worst deals, and the fake media knows it but they won’t report it, because they don’t like Trump.

Since that letter was published, many people, many, many people…thousands of White House staffers in fact, have come to me to tell me that working for Trump is the greatest thing they will ever accomplish in their life. I tell them, well…I don’t know, the greatest? I mean you’re young, you’re smart, you’ve got a terrific figure, so maybe there’s even greater things in your future. Probably not, but maybe.

If Trump is so bad, how did he turn around the economy so fast? And black unemployment is at a record low. Hispanic too. And the women. Soon the women unemployment will be the lowest ever. They can’t say that about Obama. So they won’t say it about Trump. Sad.

The letter by the crooked coward brings up Russher almost immediately. I think it’s the first word even. Maybe not, but probably. It’s close to the first word anyway. Everyone knows the Russher thing is fake. It’s a rigged witch hunt and an excuse for the Democrat party for losing an election they probably should’ve won…and they might have if they weren’t running against Trump. But the Russher thing…bringing that up proves this person, if they are even real…and nobody knows…the New York Times won’t tell, and Jeff Sessions, who has been a huge disappointment on so many levels, won’t find out who it is….but they are deep state. They are probably an Obama holdover put here by lying James Comey or Crooked Bob Mueller. Crooked Bob. Very sad. And what he is doing to Flynn and Manafort is a disgrace.

So the letter is fake. It is like the fake dossier, the fake, horrible, disgusting media…who have been very unfair to Trump. Very unfair. And the New York Times publishes it. They will probably have to apologize for this too. They had to apologize after the election for saying Trump won’t win. They kept saying it over and over, “Trump won’t win.” Then they had to apologize. Even other media people called Trump, many of them, and said “Mr. President, you are probably the greatest President since George Washington…and even probably better than him frankly, but we can’t say that. They won’t let us.” That’s wrong. We need to fix that. Maybe Trump will change the libel laws so if the fake news media makes something bad up about Trump, they’re fired and they are sued. They should do that.

Let me close by saying I love Trump. I love working for him. Many, many people do. And the American people know that he is doing a great job. I’d give him an A. I’d give him an A+ but there are cowards trying to stop him. The swamp isn’t giving up without a fight. But it will, and he will get an A+ for making America great again.

Signed,

Amonuss…Omonamuss…Omalomous
