President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[falafel]

Duh. This only applies to people who get in with bad marks who are NOT from wealthy or influential families. The elite folk are a little pissed that they have to share this privilege now. Thought that as an Alum of a prestigious university, you would already understand this concept?

Yes, I hate that the U lets in any old utahn with a 17 ACT and 2.0 GPA.

What do you mean by "stay above the fray?" ... because I think that most centrist Americans like myself are waiting for the system to correct itself at this point, with the midterms coming up, and all.

To continue to freak out about every little fucking thing that Trump says or does just continues to dilute the efficacy of people being able to REALLY draw attention to the things that he tries to do that pose the biggest problems. This is the tactic: Trump fatigue so that he can slip one past the goalie from time to time. Like, who cares about the shit he says about the reflecting pool? Or him bragging about his kill count? Maintain your focus for when he tries to slip some passport/birth certificate bullshit de facto poll-tax into the "Save America Act." Majority of Americans favor voter I.D., but this ain't it, champ!

Also, continuous freaking out is just gonna produce more political violence... just sayin'.

Freaking out. LOL. Because I post one, two tops of Trump videos a day? And I make a pithy (if I do say so myself) comment about them? LOL. Look Wally, I might not be keeping my powder dry for the REAL crazy shit Trump will do in the next election like you do. I guess I could do a better job modeling my behavior after you and other centrists. But until I do, again, feel free to stay above the fray and ignore me diluting the political discourse here.

I take you at your word that you're a centrist, and you're probably right that what gets me freaking out moves the needle only a little for the majority of you centrists. Which is a shame, because I am freaking out about some real substantive issues that I thought America had figured out a long time ago. After my body of work during these very long 10 years hasn't convinced you that it's not all reflecting pools and riffing at press conferences, I guess I need to work harder!
