A few words on Politicians & Presidents

Politicians and Presidents

 

The Heart, the Brain and the Stomach disagreed on who the ‘boss’ was. After the rectum closed for a few days. It was decided.

The old saying goes: You don’t have to be smart or compassionate or full of energy to be the boss – you just have to be an asshole! We have all had bosses like that.

But what if you are smart and compassionate and full of energy, AND an asshole?  What does that make you?

Easy answer: Almost any US President past or present.

Dealing with Communist China (CCP) and Russia, terrorists states like Iran, dictators like North Korea, and all other countries including UK, France, Germany, Mexico, Israel - they all mean you are dealing with a bunch of assholes. They would not be the bosses of their countries otherwise!

There are no "nice" leaders of state. No dictator was ever compassionate. "Nice" people do not go to war or terrorize.

It takes an asshole to deal with an asshole. The difference for the US is we try and get all the good things right: being smart and using compassion and having the energy and drive to follow thru on promises made or agreements ratified.

But you still have to be an asshole to deal effectively with other, bigger (Iran, North Korea, etc.) assholes. If you are not, then you and your country get walked on.

All presidents and politicians are assholes to some degree or another. In fact, all people are at some time in their lives. There are no living angels.

It is only a matter of degree.

Seriously, pick any member of Congress or the Media. Ask yourself if that person is an asshole. Now we know why their approval ratings are so low ;)

And remember that the House and Senate are the main 'pools' for future Presidential candidates! The Media pool is where our future “Talking Heads” are chosen

You could argue that we have the biggest asshole of all past presidents is th 45th You might be right.

Or it might be 45 is just the loudest and most skilled with Social Media, Twitter, etc. and he crosses media lines most of us would not. Not the biggest asshole, just the most public.

What a Novel Idea: an asshole that crosses lines most others would not!

Drawing and Crossing Political lines is exactly what US Presidents do - the sole power to do so for our country and we choose that person every four years with our votes.

Obama had a "Red" line that got crossed. The US lost respect over that.

Obama was not a big enough asshole that time. But Obama was still an asshole - it is a job requirement. Only the best (not necessarily the biggest) assholes get to be US President.

 

You have to decide if you like how our country is doing under the current asshole(s) compared to the asshole in charge from 2017 to 2020.

Are we getting along better or worse with all the other world leader assholes? Are we making treaties and trade agreements that benefits the US while still playing 'nice' with all the other assholes? Are we at war with other countries?

Is our country and border secure? Are citizens safe? Is crime low? Are food and energy costs low? Is our education system good? Are wages and inflation stable? Has the open border negatively affected daily lives of citizens?

The big question in November: Which asshole will get the most done for our country from 2024 forward?

Which asshole will / did you vote for?
