December 17, 2018: Not Wanted, Talent for Repulsion, Time for Tinder.



He grabs pussies. He kisses females without concern for revulsion and horror they feel for him. He grabs them in unexpected places. Does he ever experience rejection? He does not. 'Most men would get discouraged,' he says, referring to those he comes on to. 'Fortunately for her, I am not most men.'

He is Pepe Le Pew. Does he remind us of anyone else?” (1)

HE'S NOT WANTED”

wrote Frank Bruni in The New York Times.

Not at funerals, though the Bush family, to show class and respect for tradition, held their noses and made an exception.

Not in England, where they turned him into a big hideous blimp.

Not by moderate Republicans, or at least the shrinking club with a tenuous claim to that label, who pushed him away during the midterms as they fought for their survival and clung to their last shreds of self-respect.

And not by a 36 year-old Republican operative who is by most accounts the apotheosis of vanity and ambition—and who just turned down one of the most powerful roles in any administration, a job that welds you to the president's side and gives you nearly unrivaled access to his thoughts.

Nick Ayers didn't see enough upside to the welding” (2) rejecting advances by tRUMP to replace outgoing chief-of-staff John Kelly.

It has become obvious to everyone who treasures a future in Rescumlickan circles or future government that if you join this administration your reputation will be destroyed; and if you stand at the right hand of our Caesar Disgustus the stench will never leave you. He is, our Pepe Le Pew.

He is the pole cat at the barn dance. Unwelcome, yet imposed upon us. One who is met by smiles betraying gritting teeth. One whose smile emits the stench of sulfur and in whose speech can be heard the cries of the damned.

Its about how he behaves—and the predictable harvest of all that nastiness. While other presidents sought to hone the art of persuasion, he revels in his talent for repulsion: how many people he attacks (he styles this as boldness): how many people he offends (he pretties this up as authenticity): h ow many people he sends into exile. His administration doesn't have alumni so much as refugees. H.R. McMaster, Gary Cohn and Reince Priebus are a dumbfounded diaspora all their own” (3)

Ayers, who was chief-of-staff to Vice President Mike Pence before being fingered by tRUMP, would normally be expected to jump at the opportunity. Other presidents in tRUMP's difficulty would have viewed such a move with suspicion, thinking that perhaps Pence and his underlings were greasing the skids, preparing for the palace coup, the coup de grace. But Disgustus, innocent of such Machiavellian machinations seemed undaunted. It should have been the president to be wary and decline. Instead it was the supplicant.

And Ayers wasn't the only one. 'Trump was left at the altar,' wrote The Washington Post's White House team. In his search for takers, maybe it's time for Tinder.

Administration officials like Steven Mnuchin and Mick Mulvaney practically put out news releases to make clear that Trump shouldn't ask them to be chief-of-staff. He has no Plan B...

It's fitting...

His wife takes public shots at him. Old friends tattle to prosecutors; new friends don't exist. (4)

This is what happens when “Ye Publick Ass” farts in church.

An Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”

Impeach and Imprison.
