Every minute

A myth is as good as a mile...


Let's see...can't repeal Obamacare, his tax reform (which wouldn't have helped his supporters much anyway) is already in the shitter, wall project going nowhere fast, Muslim ban failed miserably in the courts, lots of clueless billionaires appointed to administration position, and now it looks as if Trump is going to fill many positions with veterans of the George W. Bush administration, one of the most colossal failures in Presidential history.

So much for draining that swamp...

Have to give Trump credit, though, for capitalizing on that old P.T. Barnum adage (which he likely never said, but what the hell) about a sucker being born every minute.

Because it's beginning to look like his supporters are going to go down as the biggest political suckers in American history.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Every minute

P.T. Barnum famously said there's a sucker born every minute, and "authors" Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan are putting that assertion to the test once again by releasing a book that claims (all evidence to the contrary) Barack Obama is the worst President in U.S. History.

Ahem.

You have to be a serious fucking idiot and/or a Ku Klux Klan type racist to believe that President Obama is the worst President ever, especially in light of the fact that he followed a President, George W. Bush, who actually was one of the most incompetent Presidents we've ever had, if not the most incompetent.

But you can guarantee that scores of suckers will shell out $25 to have their worldview confirmed, all the while living in an alternate reality where they believe the people they vote for actually do give a shit about them, and all those goodies for the wealthy will eventually "trickle down."  And good fucking luck with that one.

Mark these words:  When all is said and done, Barack Obama will go down as the fourth greatest President ever, after Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Washington.  Moreover, it will be richly deserved.

And the best part will be watching republicans choke on it.

Peace,
