Donald J. Trump’s declaration Tuesday night that he would be a “dictator” only on “Day One” of his presidency wasn’t to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.
“It’s only a dictatorship for one day, guys,” Watters began, chuckling. “He’ll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.”
Trump, Watters claimed, “knows exactly what he is doing.”
“He’s teasing the press and they just took the bait,” he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors who—unlike Watters—were not taking Trump lightly.
“Look how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And don’t you dare laugh at Trump’s jokes. They aren’t funny,” the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival network’s Morning Joe show.
His mother sounded like she was a nice person. So what the fuck happened to him?
Unfortunately, this happens way too often. Despite their family’s best intentions for them, money speaks louder.
One of the scariest things about parenting is how little control you really have over outcomes for your kids. I have watched my kid make bad decisions and there’s just fuck all I can do but hope she learns from the experience and isn’t too badly hurt by it while giving her all the love I can.
I’m not talking about falling down the stairs of course; certainly nothing safety related. But decisions with friends, academics … you can model good behavior, your can inform, you can supply incentives, and consequences, but end of day, it’s their life.
I mean my mom is a raging Qanon, Trump loving, anti-vax (recently), evangelical and I’d happily vote for Bernie and got my last round of boosters a few days ago, so it goes both ways I guess.
