Trump just made himself an ass at the WH Press dinner.
Not that he's not an ass already. I think it shows he cannot take any jokes nor criticism. I think to be a President, any President, you need to have a sense of humor and a backbone. Trump just showed he doesn't. I cannot see how he can be a viable candidate now. What a poor sport!

2. he's been an ass since I was a young boy
I'm sure he was an ass before that, but maybe only New Yorkers would have known about it.

3. Actually I disagree with that.

function not data.

I understand need for humor. And do appreciate those that add humor to the world

But I don't laugh often, while still due beer and travel money, and many experiences. And even when experiencing humor a part of me is still focused on the fact that things need correcting.


It is pretty easy to be distracted to accepting something not acceptable, and some of that can be 'defeated by happiness' if you find joy when things still need correcting.

I could go through life treating it like a joke, or in great joy, and injustices without compassion, but it would be fake, or require extinguishing the thoughts of what is justice and compassion.


Or until the beer and travel money is corrected I don't move forward in normal ways, since it is due, and has to be sent to establish that life can be more just and compassionate. To accept anything else would be ignoring the injustice that can occur sometimes. Although I don't hold any person responsible, their is still a due of beer and travel money.

So I understand his sternness, even if I don't agree with the point as how it was presented.

8. Function not data.

If you would believe my explanation, you would not need to hear it.

I am due beer and travel money, and that will be sent.

He may not see my post, in that case the filters absorb all that responsibility of his non action on that topic, or he may make the choice not to send beer and travel money, or he may have sent it, and it was intercepted(theft). Or a hundred other things.

You are asking me to ponder on someone elses choices and the systems that can hinder or create actions.

However regardless of any of that, I am due beer and travel money, and there is no limit to what can occur to facilitate that, although I wont do it.




Side note, I heard the rest of President Obamas comments on Donald, and disagree with the tone.

6. If I don't find joy when things still need correcting,
I'll never find joy, not in this world.
Joy is no joke. :*

10. You can find joy, I do all the time, in many things.
But there when in contrast to a point, that is not correct.

Function not data.

I can understand his stance.


Many let joy defeat them. Can you understand the difference.

11. Joy is its own point.
If you mean insistent joy, yes, I understand.

4. He's far too vain to be able to laugh at himself
unlike the president, who gives every indication of finding himself hilarious.

That's an irresistible quality, the ability to laugh at oneself.

9. He couldn't even handle a silly celebrity roast with any dignity.
And the only decent roaster they allowed on was Lisa Lampanelli.

The "Situation?" Who booked this talentless piece of shit?

God forbid they'd let Betty White 5 minutes to chomp his sorry ass.

And of course the undisputed King of Zing has left the planet.

Greg. We miss you.

15. He sat there stony-faced, shooting eye-darts at Obama and Meyers the whole
time they told jokes, even while everyone else laughed their fannies off.
