Hah! And you guys keep saying he hasn't accomplished anything! Do you realize how difficult it is to have a noteworthy tantrum at Denmark? Could you or your mother? Who would care? Tantrums are very powerful things when done by those who have the legitimate responsibility to throw them at another country. Look at the commotion Trump has created by this. Who else could have pulled off such furor over being furious? You gotta give the man some credit. And Greenland would have been a nice addition to our collection of States. With global warming it will become green again, it could have made the green new deal work. I would throw a tantrum at Denmark for not selling it to us. Actually, throwing in Denmark into the purchase would have really sealed the deal. And why wouldn't Denmark go for it? It sold itself to the EU. It would do better being a part of the US. The EU is a squabbling mess with some wanting to exit and a bunch being subsidized by the rest, and it depends on US power to protect it anyway.
And doubling down on anti-Semitic tropes while supporting Israel like nobody else and having Jews as a very important part of his family--who could pull such a thing off? Could Ben Gurion or Golda Meijer or Neten"yahoo" have done that? It takes quite a man to pull off that stunt!
Now . . . basking in the praise of right wing conspiracy theorists is not easy. Have you ever tried it. Do you realize how quickly your basking would turn into a butt-burning scorching by the NYT or CNN. You couldn't handle that. C'mon man, the guy has some real nads.
And poor Russia. SOMEBODY has to help it advance its foreign policy. It doesn't do a very good job of it itself. We should help our neighbors. Maybe we could buy it. Vodka and Russian women--great addition.
And the humility of merely awarding himself the medal of honor. He, obviously, deserves so much more. That he would settle for only that, and miss the opportunity to bask in all the other medals and honors he is entitled to . . . I mean . . . this is the essence of magnanimous!
Also, endorsing comparisons is quite difficult and fairly rare. And to a king--that requires real stature. Very few could do this.
But the masterpiece, the magnum opus, the masterwork, the tour de force. the showpiece, the prize, the gem, the jewel of endorsing comparisons is self deification. I don't think God could even do that. This is the height of power, of magnificence, and of earthly and heavenly accomplishment! Pay attention! What he has done compares favorably in difficulty and scope to Hercules cleaning the Augean Stables.
Being a one man band ain't easy either.

No you don't. You don't know what size the crush is, or what gender (out of the many and growing ones that are popping up out everywhere to normalize whatever freaky crush one desires), or if I have one.

For you . . . no. Your robotic mind appears, to me, to have a fail safe that prevents any idea contrary to your preferred beliefs from entering. It automatically spits out any internet search which is biased against what you must cling to. Much of which you don't even seem to fundamentally understand. And when its fallacy is pointed out, you shut down and move on to the next attack on an idea that disturbs your equilibrium. And, in the inflexible robotic mind fashion, you eventually return to attacks on the same idea, as if nothing had come of your inability to validly respond before.

nice people.....
“F*ck him...I’m glad he’s dead, and I hope the end was painful"
Bill Maher, host of HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" used his platform on Friday night's show like he often does -- to trash political opponents in the worst of ways possible. As Cortney reported, the billionaire donor and philanthropist David Koch died late Thursday night. Maher took the opportunity to lash into a swear-laced monologue against Koch.
"Yesterday, David Koch of the zillionaire Koch brothers died," the host said before pausing to stop the audience from applauding.
"...of prostate cancer," he continued. "I guess I’m going to have to re-evaluate my low opinion of prostate cancer," he said to laughter from the audience.
"He was 79, but his family says they wish he could live longer but at least he lived long enough to see the Amazon catch fire," he added. "Condolences poured in from the politicians he owned."
“F*ck him...I’m glad he’s dead, and I hope the end was painful," Maher remarked.
“I really want to put my money to work making the world a better place.” David H. Koch to the Wall Street Journal
$185 million Massachusetts Institute of Technology
$150 million Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
$100 million New York-Presbyterian Hospital(Another $28 million went to other needs for the hospital.)
$100 million New York State Theater at Lincoln Center
$66.7 million Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
$65 million The Metropolitan Museum of Art
$35 million Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History
$26.5 million M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
$26.2 million The Hospital for Special Surgery in New York
$20 million American Museum of Natural History, New York
$20 million Johns Hopkins University
$10 million Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at the Mount Sinai Medical Center
