Not that Larry David is taking the piss out of Bill Maher sucking up to Trump or anything, but...
Imagine my surprise when in the spring of 1939 a letter arrived at my house inviting me to dinner at the Old Chancellery with the world’s most reviled man, Adolf Hitler. I had been a vocal critic of his on the radio from the beginning, pretty much predicting everything he was going to do on the road to dictatorship. No one I knew encouraged me to go. “He’s Hitler. He’s a monster.” But eventually I concluded that hate gets us nowhere. I knew I couldn’t change his views, but we need to talk to the other side — even if it has invaded and annexed other countries and committed unspeakable crimes against humanity.
Two weeks later, I found myself on the front steps of the Old Chancellery and was led into an opulent living room, where a few of the Führer’s most vocal supporters had gathered: Himmler, Göring, Leni Riefenstahl and the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII. We talked about some of the beautiful art on the walls that had been taken from the homes of Jews. But our conversation ended abruptly when we heard loud footsteps coming down the hallway. Everyone stiffened as Hitler entered the room.
He was wearing a tan suit with a swastika armband and gave me an enthusiastic greeting that caught me off guard. Frankly, it was a warmer greeting than I normally get from my parents, and it was accompanied by a slap on my back. I found the whole thing quite disarming. I joked that I was surprised to see him in a tan suit because if he wore that out, it would be perceived as un-Führer-like. That amused him to no end, and I realized I’d never seen him laugh before. Suddenly he seemed so human. Here I was, prepared to meet Hitler, the one I’d seen and heard — the public Hitler. But this private Hitler was a completely different animal. And oddly enough, this one seemed more authentic, like this was the real Hitler. The whole thing had my head spinning.
He said he was starving and led us into the dining room, where he gestured for me to sit next to him. Göring immediately grabbed a slice of pumpernickel, whereupon Hitler turned to me, gave me an eye roll, then whispered, “Watch. He’ll be done with his entire meal before you’ve taken two bites.” That one really got me. Göring, with his mouth full, asked what was so funny, and Hitler said, “I was just telling him about the time my dog had diarrhea in the Reichstag.” Göring remembered. How could he forget? He loved that story, especially the part where Hitler shot the dog before it got back into the car. Then a beaming Hitler said, “Hey, if I can kill Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals, I can certainly kill a dog!” That perhaps got the biggest laugh of the night — and believe me, there were plenty.
But it wasn’t just a one-way street, with the Führer dominating the conversation. He was quite inquisitive and asked me a lot of questions about myself. I told him I had just gone through a brutal breakup with my girlfriend because every time I went someplace without her, she was always insistent that I tell her everything I talked about. I can’t stand having to remember every detail of every conversation. Hitler said he could relate — he hated that, too. “What am I, a secretary?” He advised me it was best not to have any more contact with her or else I’d be right back where I started and eventually I’d have to go through the whole thing all over again. I said it must be easy for a dictator to go through a breakup. He said, “You’d be surprised. There are still feelings.” Hmm … there are still feelings. That really resonated with me. We’re not that different, after all. I thought that if only the world could see this side of him, people might have a completely different opinion.
Two hours later, the dinner was over, and the Führer escorted me to the door. “I am so glad to have met you. I hope I’m no longer the monster you thought I was.” “I must say, mein Führer, I’m so thankful I came. Although we disagree on many issues, it doesn’t mean that we have to hate each other.” And with that, I gave him a Nazi salute and walked out into the night.

Whatever you think about that, do you not have an opinion on the woman definition executive order?
Whatever you think about me is another issue, but what is your opinion of the executive order?
Molle asked for an example of Trump policy that I would say is on balance a good idea. So, I provided a poll for the Woman defined as a Female executive order.
So far, no votes against the executive order from any of Harry, Molle, Snubs, Beachbound
I am not a fan of the McCarthy witch-hunt flavour of political tribalism, where you are condemned for not denouncing the other side loudly enough, or being the first to stop shouting invective in an anti-Trump tirade. Politics needs less religious absolutism and more nuanced consideration of issues on their merits.
Religious zealotry seems to be the measure of these extreme anti-Trumpers definition of a Trumpanzee. If you fail to sing from the hymnal loudly enough on every issue then you are the enemy.
But they are hoist by their own petard by not voting against the executive order in the poll. By failing to denounce the executive order they are, by their own definition, Trumpanzees.
Watch Trump in interviews YouTubes etc and it's all just word salad
How the fuck can anyone think this conman can get away with this shit. How much longer will mercans and indeed the rest of the world put up with this shit before cancelling the kunt
I can't watch more than a few minutes of this guy. It's all nonsense
Most people are Kunts.dont believe me? Next time you see a group of people. Shout out OI KUNT watch em all turn around.
I would say Trumpanzee means anyone who supports Trump unquestioningly and will not criticise him.
Your definition of Trumpanzee seems to be anyone who does not denounce Trump loudly and consistently enough on every issue or who thinks anything Trump has done has any merit.
But, by failing to vote 'No' in the Woman Definition poll, you are, by your own definition, a Trumpanzee.
Here is the transcript of an interview of Trump by Time Magazine. It is too long to post here but it is certainly worth a read.

Here's short piece;
Will you call President Xi if he doesn’t call you?
No.
You won’t?
Nope.
Has he called you yet?
Yep.
When did he call you?
He's called. And I don't think that's a sign of weakness on his behalf.
But you would think it’s a sign of weakness if you called him?
I don’t–I just look—
Well, what did he say?
If people want to–well, we all want to make deals. But I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there. And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.

“The ultimate moral test of any government is the way it treats three groups of its citizens. First, those in the dawn of life — our children. Second, those in the shadows of life — our needy, our sick, our handicapped. Third, those in the twilight of life — our elderly.”

I think it's a little naïve to judge every good and bad action equally rather than judge based on overall actions.
It's a bit like saying someone is good because he saved a spider after murdering his family.
Mothers kill their children at rates similar to, or higher, than fathers. I'd prefer you to use the pronoun "she". It's important men, particularly young men, are aware of the risks in fathering children with batty women. These women often assert it was an altruistic filicide.
And just my 2 cents worth for what it's worth? Perhaps the US simply can't get there head around the fact that they may not be a superpower and can act as the world's policeman ? Like it or loathe it China has the " cards" Trump may well be nationalistic or just along for the ride to make money? His sycophants certainly seem to be all red white & blue and drank the koolaid. It's one thing to talk about bringing back manufacturing in the west. But that will take years. Maybe decades
That ship has sailed. Precisely why we buy everything from China. Trump is just embarrassing Americans now. The damage is done though. The world doesn't trust the states as a serious place to do business. Controversial post maybe? But that's how the ole ditch digger sees it

Back to the actual important shit
Trump’s 100-Day Approval Rating Lowest in 80 Years.
Trump has lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years: POLL - ABC News
From the article:
They are polling at 29% and some drastic changes need to be done for the Democrats to take power in the mid terms. Perhaps they could ease off on the monotonous support of the trans mafia, and the elitist name calling of people with different opinions than theirs, as is on display by some posters in this very thread.Yet he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms of trust to handle the nation's main problems.
I don't remember John Oliver going so hard on any of the trumpanzee cabinet picks before, but RFK Jr. got it right up the jacksy. If you watch this to the end you'll probably agree with him (unless you're a trumpanzee of course).
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
Your next President America.This vid is dated but he is now hitting Democratic primary states.
