Rudy in Critical Care Trump distraught

The standard excuse Trump apologists use is that he's supposedly straightforward, speaks his mind, doesn't mince his words, blah blah blah. That's beside the point. In many instances and contexts, how you say something is at least as important as saying it at all. That's doubly true in many social contexts; it's certainly true regarding Presidents.

When someone we care about is hospitalized with a serious condition, do we say, "Dude, you're really sick, and you're probably going to croak"? Of course not! What if that's the absolute truth? Does that matter? Should we say that? Do we say, "Oh, it's the Democrats' fault you're sick, I hate them, and Trump Bibles are only $149"? 

From when we're very little, we're taught that there are filters we should apply in certain situations, things we shouldn't say whether they're true or not, and roles we may find ourselves playing in which ordinary politeness and decorum are paramount, even at the expense of brutal honesty:

Someone asks, "How are you?"; do you respond truthfully with," My dog died and I'm having a terrible bout of diarrhea"? At your uncle's funeral, if someone asks you about him, do you say, "He was an asshole and an alcoholic and I'm glad he's dead"? If you're giving a speech at the United Nations, do you say, "A whole lot of you are pathetic, barely functioning countries and we could take you over in two days if we wanted to"? EVEN THOUGH ALL THOSE STATEMENTS MAY BE TRUE???

We expect better behavior from our children, let alone the Chief Executive of our country. And people should stop apologizing for him.

Exactly right.  Well put.

 You, of all people, should talk about not having a filter. You are the personification of a hypocrite.

Two upstanding women volunteered for their community to work as election workers in the spirit of democracy and giving to their community.    Rudi and Trump made up a completely fabricated shit lie about how those two women stuffed ballot boxes and tossed out votes.    No evidence.  That was just the result of MAGA having to eat a shit sandwich after the legitimate results from 2020.

MOBS of MAGA soldiers took the lies to heart and harrassed those two poor ladies....and even stood outside their house banging on the door at 2:00AM.

Thankfully in court Rudi lost everything when those two women sued his sorry ass for every penny he had.   

THose two ladies now spend their days drinking margaritas poolside  in their million dollar estate paid for with Rudi's life savings.   And Rudi shits his bed in the remaining days of misery that his life has rotted into.

Sometimes  stories have happy endings.     I like how this one ended.

What does my filter or lack thereof have to do with Trump, or excuse his lack thereof? He's the President. He should have higher standards. He should behave decently, because he's prominant on the world stage. How he behaves matters a great deal.

Dear Davey Dog, you should drop that childish YOU TOO YOU TOO YOU TOO "defense" tactic. It doesn't work, and it makes you look flaccid.

Jena Ellis, Sydney Powell, Kenneth Cheseboro, John Eastman, and Rudy all had their legal licenses suspended or terminated.  Ellis, Powell, and Cheseboro all plead guilty to felony election fraud of one kind or another. Fox paid $783 million in a defamation suit.   And yet all the MAGAs talk about is Democratic election fraud that they can not prove.  So, we learn the intellectual level of MAGA.
