Because sometimes you need to be ... Cruel to be kind.

 

 

 

YES!

 

There is even an expression in Chinese for this concept....长痛不如短痛

 

Chang Tong bu ru Duan Tong....

 

What does this mean?

 

Better to be cruel for a short time, than to cause pain for a long time....

 

Actually:  

 

Did I ever tell you that I am like....HSK-6.....????

 

Now, you know....

 

Note:  Anyway, this is an idiom, or a phrase, or a ChengYu, in Chinese, which is what the tune you posted is really about....

 

Gotta be Cruel to be KIND.....

 

And, kindness is key to being part human...

Cruel to the criminally corrupt man who is kicking an estimated 15 million plus poorer people off their health care?

Cruel to the man who sucks up to genocidal war criminal dictator Putin and constantly gives him more time to murder even more civilians?

Perish the thought!

Say it ain't so!

 

One thing I will say is this:

 

Instead of retiring in SE Asia, with your PLAN B, and PLAN C....

You should consider retiring in Gladwyne, instead.

It's unlikely that he will be healthy enough to finish his term. So don’t worry about Trump 28. Do worry about Vance.

VANCE???????    nothing to worry about, he's a wannabe but will never be he's AKA as JD maybe a Jack Daniels lover

My point was obviously that if Trump doesn’t finish his term for whatever reason we do instantly get Vance.

One thing is certain it doesn't matter if you are the richest man in the world the President of America or a homeless individual hunting through rubbish bins for food.

 

We are all going to die and the older we get the odds of seeing another day diminishes which makes it all the more important not to waste it.

Another great comeback from the high IQ leftist, I just can’t kerp up. 

Oh come on you radical leftist Marxist Commie wokies!

 

The guy is the absolute picture of health. His 50+" waist just screams Gym Bro. Why I bet the guy can lift a giant bucket of extra crispy KFC like it was chiffon cake. I imagine he built up that kind of strength lifting a glass of water, as his cocktail frank fingers are not quite long enough to allow him to palm a drinking glass.

 

I'll bet he also can drive all the way to where his caddy drops another golf ball, after his real ball made a splash. And speaking of splashes, I bet he does a great belly flop at the Mar-a-Lago pool. I hear some people are saying it's the best belly flop ever. Nobody has ever seen anything like it.

 

And his mental acuity...GOODNESS! He even remembers conversations that never happened, like the one with his stable genius uncle who taught the Unabomber at a school Ted never attended, and told stories to little donny about what kind of student Ted K was....a decade before anyone even knew the Unabomber's name. Incredible.

 

And how's this for multi-tasking: While he was filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey, he also stopped the worst Holocaust in the history of the world, the 7,000,000 (sic) slaughtered in Rwanda in 1994. Despite "machetes machetes everywhere" he was able not only to declare bankruptcy, but halt the tribal blood lust thousands of miles away. I bet he did that with his mind, the same way he declassified all those documents he stole after Term 1.

Doesn't look great, does it.

You're tenacious. 

The rantings of a highly unstable, quite senile old man. 

 

"It must be because of M.I.T., my relationship with M.I.T., very smart. I say, 'What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater, and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there?" Trump said. "By the way, lot of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that?"

 

During a meeting with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, abruptly switched from discussing immigration to saying this: “The other thing I say to Europe: we’ve – we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery.” Trump proceeded to speak, non-stop and unprompted, for two minutes about windmills, claiming without evidence that they drive whales “loco” and that wind energy “kills the birds” (the proportion of birds killed by turbines is tiny compared with the number killed by domestic cats and from flying into power lines).

 

The abrupt changes in conversation are an example of Trump “digressing without thinking – he’ll just switch topics without self-regulation, without having a coherent narrative”, said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the psychology department at Cornell University and in the psychiatry department at Weill Cornell Medicine. Segal said another characteristic of Trump’s questionable mental acuity is confabulation. “It’s where he takes an idea or something that’s happened and he adds to it things that have not happened.”

 

A high-profile example came in mid-July, when Trump claimed his uncle, the late professor John Trump, had taught Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, at MIT. Trump recalled: “I said: ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John? Dr John Trump.’ I said: ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said: ‘Seriously, good.’ He said: ‘He’d correct – he’d go around correcting everybody.’ But it didn’t work out too well for him.”

 

The problem is: that cannot possibly be true. First, Trump’s uncle died in 1985, and Kaczynski was only publicly identified as the Unabomber in 1996. Second, Kaczynski did not study at MIT. "The story makes no sense whatsoever, but it’s told in a very warm, reflective way, as if he’s remembering it,” Segal said. “This level of thinking really has been deteriorating.”

 

I got rid of – just one I got rid of the other night, you buy a house, they have a faucet in the house, Joe, and the faucet the water doesn’t come out. They have a restrictor. You can’t – in areas where you have so much water they don’t know what to do with it. Uh, you have a shower head the shower doesn’t uh, the shower doesn’t, you think it’s not working. It is working. The water’s dripping out and that’s no good for me. I like this hair lace and [sic] – I like that hair nice and wet. Takes you – you have to stand in the shower for 20 minutes before you get the soap out of your hair. And I put a, a thing – and it sounds funny but it’s really not. It’s horrible. And uh, when you wash your hands, you turn on the faucet, no water comes out. You’re washing whole – water barely comes out it’s ridi – this was done by crazy people. And I wor – wrote it all off and got it approved in Congress so that they can’t just change it.”
