This chapter talks about how when things are difficult, throw up your hands and say "I tried!"<br /><br />Ch 2.: "Passing the Buck": This chapter teaches to never admit blame, there are always scapegoats to be had.<br /><br />Ch.3: "Sour Grapes": No matter how bad you talked about wanting something, and bragged about being able to do it, if you fail, just say "This is what is best"<br /><br />Ch 4. "Be a Vindicative A-hole": since you didn't get your way, try to make things as bad as you can for everyone.

What the frick! They control the house, senate and White House and they are too unprepared/incompetent to do anything. Trump blustered continuously during the campaign, promising a great, great plan that would cover everybody and be affordable. Most people realized that was just more BS coming from his mouth, but his supporters believed him. And this from the self-proclaimed deal-maker! Now he says he is ready to give up and move on as he blames everybody but himself. The buck definitely does not stop with this fake president. <br /><br />They say how bad Obamacare is yet can't do better themselves.

Just follow his Twitter. The NSA revealed they are working on Trump-canceling earphones to hear Trump less, not more. And Trump says Obama is sick to "tapp" his phones. How is he going to take on a two-term president if he can't even handle a three-letter word?<br /><br />Right now we are this close to Trump putting tin foil on his head and shouting 'Try reading my thoughts now Obama," <br /><br />From Colbert: Staffers tried to put Trump in a better mood by talking about his updated travel ban. "Oooo, look at this shiny travel ban, said Colbert," dangling his keys like he was talking to a baby. "Does the big angry man want to split up some Muslim families? I see a smile."<br /><br />Ah, such easy fun to ridicule Russia's little man-child. The look, the actions, the words...the complete comedic package!!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-52774463900736960162017-03-22T07:27:44.153-04:002017-03-22T07:27:44.153-04:00A big part of me is hoping that the train wreck of...A big part of me is hoping that the train wreck of a health care plan gets passed, forcing the GOP to own the disastrous results come next election. The ACA can then be restored with some needed tweeks. Just imagine how bad this new plan must be for Trump not to want his name associated with it - he likes his name on everything! Everything of quality that is.<br /><br />I love how even the Wall Street Journal is now calling out Trump for his never-ending lies, saying that he is in danger of being considered a "fake president". A clown show was expected when he got elected, but who could have predicted it would be on a scale as big as this!

I guess Hillary would have been a "winner" in your eyes had her party picked up a few seats in congress despite her losing the White House.<br /><br />And this was a year when Wilders favorite issues — immigration and Islam were front and center.<br /><br />Have fun sucking on that sweet consolation prize of 4 seats!<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
