How does this response have anything remotely to do with the question I asked Tom? You can do better this. At least you have in the past. Your annoyance at people because they don't love your guy to he** is not my problem. You love him. Fine. You don't mind that Russia/Putin engineered his win. Fine. You don't mind that PET is in way over head so far he is already drowning. Fine. You love the folks he picked for government jobs. Fine. You don't mind that he refuses daily intelligence briefings because he says he is a smart guy and if anything "REALLY IMPORTANT" is in those briefings he will make time for them. He lets Mike Pence sit in on them. He is a good delegater I guess.
The folks he has picked so far for his administration either know absolutely nothing about the job they are supposed to do or they are ALT RIGHT WHITES. Tillerson is in bed with Putin and has been for years and was awarded a Friend of Russia medal or something. PET is in bed with Putin. That is very clear. He continues to attack the Intelligence Community and Democrats for saying Russia had anything to do with hacking American computer files. He is DEFENDING PUTIN AND RUSSIA and attacking his own people. That is okay with you apparently. It is not okay with me. So the threesome is what you would call a menage a trois and that might be your cuppa tea but it isn't mine. You condescendingly write off my talking about PET as whining. This is a question and answer site. It is made up of people with many different views. There are citizens from all over the world here who weigh in and have every right to do so. PET is not just a local problem. He is a global problem. He is a billionaire who will use the presidency to enrich himself and his cronies. That doesn't bother you? Fine with me. But when you pull Obama into a discussion having zero to do with my question you show how desperate you are to justify the abomination that was foisted on our country by you and others just like you when you voted for this clown. The people did not speak. The majority do not want PET. By over 2.6 million so far. The majority gets screwed royally because of some arcane rule that is no longer applicable..that is if the point is to have the people get whom they want to represent them. You do not acquit yourself well when YOU whine about those who aren't charmed by PET. Your standards are clearly not the same as mine. That's fine with me. That's your business not mine. I expect more from a president. You are happy with PET. You look forward to his reign as Despot King/Czar/PUTIN PUPPET. I do not. Different strokes. But I shall continue asking questions that occur to me as they occur to me. That is why I am here. I don't ask questions to please you or anyone else. I ask them to please me hoping that there are people out there who share my concerns. Also to have folks with different views share them as long as they respect my views. Insulting someone does not bode well for further understanding or dialogue. Perhaps in your world insults are the medium of exchange. Not in my world. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday. I fear for our country. I fear for our world. I fear people like you because of what you support. It is what it is. I invite you to ignore all of my questions if they unsettle you or upset you or disappoint you. You don't have to be here you know. I'm not the only one asking questions. You are welcome to answer the questions you like and ignore the ones you don't. We have had some very fine discussions. Perhaps we will have more. But not if you persist in this methodology. Because what's in it for me? I have to get something substantive/valuable from i t or I have wasted my time. I am giving you this very long reply because of past thoughtful conversations. If it is worth anything to you perhaps you will be more cautious in the words you choose to use in the future. If not, oh well. It was great fun but it was just one of those things! :)
