He thinks they are supposed to work for him. Just like the Attorney General is supposed to work for him, and "his" generals should be as compliant to him as Hitler's generals were for Hitler.

He's such a goddamned jackass.

Seriously, he's one of the worst things to ever happen to America.

    If it's any consolation, I also regret he nominated them.

    They've given him a LOT of his best wins, including his supposed immunity. What a big fucking whiney baby, complaining about the insignificant stuff he didn't get, instead of the important stuff he did get. He expected them to be carbon copies of Thomas, and just rubber stamp everything.

    I really wish some journalist would say that during one of his weak-ass pres conferences, when he goes off on one of his "Poor Me" tirades. Just straight up: "Dude, don't you ever get tired of being such a whiney little bitch? I know that EVERY American Citizen sure is. It's embarrassing, the other countries are watching, can't you just be cool? Jeez."

    They'd probably never work in media again, but they would become one of the most famous journalists in American history, and a true hero.

    There's another thing at play, which I've seen in these greedy business types - they don't see what they've got, they see what they don't have, and they want it. Further, they see money they missed out on making, and it makes them absolutely crazy.

    When I was young, I managed a record store for a rich guy, who owned two stores in the mall, a regular record store, and my classical/jazz specialty store (coolest store in town). I learned to express records by their profit value: "I have to keep that record in stock, it's a $1000 record." That meant it had generated $1000 in profit over its time in the store, so it's worth keeping in the permanent inventory.

    So a new Barbara Streisand record came out, and I put it on my front wall, at $2 off, and it started flying. My boss happened to walk in (he dropped in about once a week) and asked about it. I told him we'd sold about 100, so it had made $200 already, thinking he'd be pleased. He responded that it had LOST $200, since it was on sale. I explained that there were two other record stores on the mall that had it as well, and it was $2 off there as well. If I didn't match their prices, we wouldn't sell any, and he'd make $0 profit. All he heard was that his other store also had it at $2 off, so he marched down there to holler at him, too, and make them take it off sale as well.

    Later, the manager of the other store came over to yell at ME for some reason, and I'm like hey man, you know he's a psycho.

    And so the other big chain store got all the sales after that, since they were $2 cheaper than us. All because the rich owner could only see the money he WASN'T making.

    “They voted against me too often,” the president continued. “I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often. They vote for me too.”

    ...

    “So they have loyalty to Barack Hussein Obama. They have loyalty to Biden, even though Biden doesn’t even know who the hell they are. He wouldn’t know. He doesn’t even know what the Supreme Court is. And me, I gave them the chance of a lifetime, and it’s unfortunate what they did,” he said.

    LOL, he always goes back to his personal grievances. He hates that Obama was voted in. Him and so many other conservatives lost their fucking minds over Obama being in office. Not just one term, but two terms. He also cannot stand it that Obama and Seth mocked him at that White House Correspondents Dinner. Utterly humiliated him. He is still has raging butthurt over all of it.

    Also, Obama was approved by so many more, had a much bigger and girthier crowd size, AND got a Nobel Peace Prize.

    He also hates that he lost to Biden. He just cannot take it.

    Surprised he didn't throw Rosie O'Donnell into the mix, too.

    That's okay, his biggest records are yet to come: First president to go to go to prison, first president to get executed.

    First president to go to go to prison, first president to get executed.

    Well, I'd much rather the first part. As for the second, I'm against the death penalty, but if the justice system felt that was truly the only way that conservatives would ever learn a fucking lesson here, then I would reluctantly agree with it.

    That's why I strike a middle ground on the death penalty. I think it is used far too much, and often for all the wrong reasons, but OTOH, I also believe that some people have EARNED their death penalty, and who are we to begrudge them their earnings?

    It should only be used at the Federal level, and should apply to only a handful of cases in an entire decade, across the entire country. It should be reserved for the most heinous crimes, like serial killers, child killers, torture killers, child molester killers, etc., as well as those who have committed high treason. Even then, it should be reserved for those whose cases have no doubts by anyone at all. And before the execution takes place after a reasonable cooling off period, the entire case is automatically reviewed by a panel of judges before being carried out.

    I don't like the Death Penalty, either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a responsible place in our society.

    If I was on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, I'd push to give the next Nobel Peace Prize to Obama again.

    Same. Just to make sure that Obama has one more than even the 1 that donnie stole from that woman.

    Also, JFC, can you even believe he kept it? That fact alone is just....staggering.

    And I'm sure he's someone that thinks participation trophies are stupid, meanwhile, he has something worth way less than a participation trophy. He is just beyond stupid.

    He really is a complete embarrassment to the country, in every single way.

    Don't they vote with him like 90% of the time. I can't find a reference but it's definitely good for the GOP to have those members.

    They turned out not to be the lapdogs he’d hoped for.

    I mean, they are totally lapdogs, they just don't grovel and crawl to him like Natalie does

    These people have already waged irreversible horrendous damage on this country but that's not good enough for him...

    Maybe he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot them. He wouldn't lose any voters.

    If he regrets it, he should have them impeached and removed.
