I once worked in close proximity to a woman who never had one good thing to say about her low-down, deplorable cur of an ex-husband.
Not one good thing.
Every day there seemed to be some new piece of evidence of why this guy was a despicable worm, unfit to walk among decent folk, an indictment on the male gender in general. You could mention the nice weather to this person, and somehow, before you knew it, she had turned the conversation around to yet more evidence that her ex-husband deserved to be locked up.
I never met the guy, but everyone who worked around this woman knew his every shortcoming. One day she told us he was an alcoholic, and that made him sweat more than other people, and who could live with a person who sweats like that? To this day, I think about that guy when I drink a beer.
I’m pretty sure the people who worked around this woman were thinking exactly what I was thinking: “Oh, COME ON! Nobody is THAT bad!” And I think they probably came to the same conclusion I did that life with that woman was no day in the park, either, and a better excuse than most to drink beer. And sweat.
(I know a guy who gave up a career in the law. One of the worst parts about being a lawyer, he said, was listening to spouses like that woman, in the process of getting divorced, tearing each other apart. He got a belly full of it.)
I think about that woman, relentlessly ripping the hide off her ex-husband, every time I pick up a newspaper or tune in the national news on TV, these days. I know I’ll get in trouble for walking out on this limb, but the constant stream of fingers-on-a-blackboard shrill attacks on Donald Trump take me back to that woman who couldn’t find one good thing to say about her low-down, horse-thieving, gutter-licking drunk of an ex-husband.
To that woman’s credit, at least she never extended her attacks to the children of her ex-husband, which is more than you can say for a healthy portion of the current day critics of Trump. Critics who, you recall, speculated that maybe Melania Trump hadn’t been seen in several weeks not because she was recovering from surgery, but because Donald punched her. And one comic who, you recall, used a particularly vulgar term in reference to Trump’s daughter.
The level of discussion has gotten so low that we’re reduced to referring to certain vulgar words by their first letters, as if that somehow made it OK to use those words in common discourse. I’m glad my mother didn’t live to read what that horrible woman called Trump’s daughter.
Honestly, aren’t we better people than THIS?
Oh, we all probably wish that Trump wouldn’t walk into as many screaming buzz saws as he seems to delight walking into. When he says something brash, or calls people losers, or pitiful, even those who support him wince, and brace for the waves of derision he will face from the vast majority of those in the news and commentary biz. They view him as crude, uneducated (even though he was well educated at the best schools), and ill-behaved.
His critics talk about him like he is a child.
Meanwhile, the stock market crash that was predicted by Trump’s critics never materialized. In fact, the market is way up, making people who have saved and invested all their lives pretty happy. He is cutting regulations, unemployment is at a historic low, and there’s optimism about our future for the first time in years. He is fulfilling campaign promises at a record pace. And now there’s this new start with North Korea. Aren’t these all good things?
Tune in “Morning Joe” any day of the week, however, and it’s three straight hours of what’s horrible about Donald J. Trump, snarky, eye-rolling elitism regarding his every move, and desperate ads calling for his immediate impeachment.
I can stand about 10 minutes of “Morning Joe.” After that, I’m thinking about that woman and her ex-husband, and saying to myself:
“Oh, COME ON! Nobody’s THAT bad!
I think that about summarizes the feelings of the American public on the treatment of a President Trump.
You know, a bit more of this and it will no longer be cool to be a libtard. I mean, what a bunch of loosers there becoming (no grammar nazis, it a joke).
Liberals do increasingly come across like bitter ex-wives.
Rush Limbaugh used to say that Hillary was every man’s first wife. No wonder she didn’t win! With a 50% divorce rate, who would vote for her except other ex-wives?
I will posit that the woman Mr. Simpson worked near IS that bad and that the people like Morning Joe and his ilk ARE that bad.
Good recall.
For me, even that assessment was too classy ... to me she was the old spinster midnight shift McDonald's manager, who would make da brothers endlessly clean when the traffic died off in the wee hours.
And I was right - the Bobo men abandoned her like no other voter sector.
Not on the left, they're not. That's why they're leftists.
Anytime I hear a phrase like that, it makes me want to reach for my flamethrower.
I am at the point where I believe that the ‘opinion polls’ should be like golf handicaps, a base score adjusted by the MSM bias factor. After all, isn’t ‘fairness’ a mantra to the LEFT?
NOTE TO SELF: Avoid irritating dfwgator.
Good advice.
