This president stopped listening to anyone probably when he was a teen-ager. He's been exhibiting psychopathic traits since he was a child. As a young boy, he used to throw rocks at baby's heads and then laugh about it. He's worse than a bad presixent. He's a bad seed.

I don't think talking to the President would have any effect on the President, as the Parkland kids are finding out. But I think it demonstrates a spirit of cooperation that is necessary to pull our country out of this mess. Lead by example.

Still, it would be hard to be in the same room as this asshat without wanting to punch him.

It truly is a shitshow because an ideal president would be extremely open-minded and willing to listen to a vast number of experts and advisers whose opinions cover the entire ideological spectrum. Who has Trump's ear? Stephen Miller? Sean Hannity?

literally whoever's talking.

in that sense, he would in fact listen to say Jose Altuve. The problem is as soon as anyone else talks to him the last thing is out the window. It's why he'll occasionally say things like "oh, 21 and up for guns is okay" until his handlers get a hole of him and recondition him. But like, if you whispered "this is a bad bill, we should do it this other way and this needs to be vetoed" in his ear as he picked up his pen, he'd veto it.

He's got no intelligence, whatever the last thing he heard that sounded smart is what he things is best. It's why he's such an easy mark. Might as well just ask Putin what he thinks about policy decisions.

Astro radio announcers explaining Altuve didn't realize he had such a punim while at the White House yesterday. Said he said he was happy to be there.

6/21/95. Bobby Jones got hammered at home by the Phils, 8-2, as our offense was smothered by former Mets (winner Dave West) and future Mets (closer Bottalico) alike.

And, yeah, there's no way I'm shaking this guy's hand.
