Listen to this twisted thinking by worthless Trent Lott:

“A lot of our allies are very nervous about whether they can count on us,” said Trent Lott, a former Republican senator, now a lobbyist in Washington. “And a lot of our enemies now feel like they have a way in.”


Sorry, there is nothing untrue about that statement. A lot of countries are now questioning whether now is a good time to be a friend of the United States.

“My relationship fell apart about a month before the election. We both knew it wasn’t going to survive. For some reason I always find a lib. No more. First question will be “Are you a deplorable?”

Unfortunately, all deplorable women are already married. All of them

It isn’t difficult to sign up, plus if you then follow Trump it will show the stupid Media he has increasing numbers of us with him. Think about it.

Cancer doesn't like chemotherapy. Bacteria don't like antibiotics. Roaches don't like light. And slimy, old school, lying, back-stabbing politicians don't like direct communication to the people.

And priests don't like regular folks reading the Bible for themselves.

"He added: “The tweets unnerve me...I’m kind of old school. I don’t put anything in writing that I don’t know who is going to see it.”

“I prefer to communicate with a wink and nod,” Lott continued. “I am an advocate of smoke-filled back rooms...”

Is this for real or satire? If Lott said this, he really doesn't get why Congress has such a low approval rating. He prefers a "wink and nod" and "back room" deals? Pathetic, but then he is now a lobbyist and that's what they do.

Not exactly true. Adorable deplorables are to be found. You just have to know what to look for.

Trump Tweeting is just like FDR’s Fireside chats, but no Radio is required.

” I don’t put anything in writing that I don’t know who is going to see it.”

Well Trent, that’s because you are part of the corrupt cabal that is always hiding what you do and believe from the people, while scamming the system to make yourself ridiculously wealthy. Trent...you fall into the category of “The Problem”. So shut up and go away with your ill-gotten lucre.

If they are traumatized by tweets, they are in the wrong business.

Lott said Washington tended to get much more done when people weren’t embarrassed. “I prefer to communicate with a wink and nod,” Lott continued. “I am an advocate of smoke-filled back rooms — I was very much an advocate over the years, the old conference committee meetings. That’s where I used to tell my colleagues, ‘We’ll fix it there.’”

And that is precisely WHY folks were willing to vote for Donald Trump. They're sick and tired of this backroom carp!

Traumatized??? Good. The media-idiots and the inside-the-beltwayers need traumatized. Would being arrested traumatize them? Would being fired traumatize them? Would being exiled traumatize them? Would being placed in stocks, ridiculed and humiliated traumatize them? ALL GOOD! Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The USA has been traumatized by these degenerates for decades.
