Donald J. Trumpās declaration Tuesday night that he would be a ādictatorā only on āDay Oneā of his presidency wasnāt to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.
āItās only a dictatorship for one day, guys,ā Watters began, chuckling. āHeāll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.ā
Trump, Watters claimed, āknows exactly what he is doing.ā
āHeās teasing the press and they just took the bait,ā he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors whoāunlike Wattersāwere not taking Trump lightly.
āLook how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And donāt you dare laugh at Trumpās jokes. They arenāt funny,ā the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival networkās Morning Joe show.
The only Jesse Watters clip I can get behind is the one where his mom tells him how disappointed she is in him for lying to people for profit.
His mother sounded like she was a nice person. So what the fuck happened to him?
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 thereās just fuck all I can do but hope she learns from the experience and isnāt too badly hurt by it while giving her all the love I can.
Iām not talking about falling down the stairs of course; certainly nothing safety related. But decisions with friends, academics ā¦ you can model good behavior, your can inform, you can supply incentives, and consequences, but end of day, itās their life.
I mean my mom is a raging Qanon, Trump loving, anti-vax (recently), evangelical and Iād happily vote for Bernie and got my last round of boosters a few days ago, so it goes both ways I guess.
Unfortunately, this happens way too often. Despite their familyās best intentions for them, money speaks louder.
