Trump Is F*cking Crazy
Trump Is F*cking Crazy: (This Is Not a Joke) | Keith Olbermann
94 posts | 4 read | 21 to read
Witty, acerbic, hard-hitting, and timely, Keith Olbermann's Donald Trump commentaries come adapted from his hit GQ series The Resistance. Since Donald Trump's presidential nomination, Keith Olbermann has emerged as one of the web's most popular anti-Trump screedists--each installment of his GQ web series The Resistance receives nearly four million views, and his fiercely progressive monologues have garnered a new generation of fans and followers. In TRUMP IS F*CKING CRAZY, Olbermann takes our Commander in Chief and his politics apart with journalistic acuity and his classic in-your-face humor. With more than 50 individual essays adapted from his GQ commentaries, including new up-to-the-minute material, TRUMP IS F*CKING CRAZY is essential reading for concerned citizens who--like Olbermann--refuse to normalize or accept our new political reality.

This one was just okay for me. It‘s a compilation of his column/blog. I didn‘t learn anything new about 45 and it just makes me feel angry and frustrated. I think I agree with @BarbaraTheBibliophage that I need to take a break from books about him for awhile. I was reading this in a restaurant and a couple did comment that they liked the title of my book which made me feel less alone and comforted that there are others who share my views.

KathyWheeler I can‘t even watch him on tv, let alone read books about him. You probably do need to take a break and read something lighter. 7y
RebelReader @KathyWheeler I hate to watch him on TV too! 🤣. In the words of Anne Shirley “You are a kindred spirit!” 😃 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I used to watch Olberman on MSNBC a lot, but I haven‘t looked too hard at this book. Thanks to your review, I won‘t rush to read it. 7y

Samplergal Yea. I have read three trump books. I‘m on a long siesta too. I will wait a while for this one. 7y
Tertubotn I‘m with you on that. Orange dude is a lunatic. 7y
JewelsEnd He's not really popular with the reading crowd, is he? Coincidence? Lol 7y
RebelReader @JewelsEnd I think on the whole readers are exposed to so many different people and cultures and we have high levels of empathy and a keen radar to detect evil and bullsh*t. I just keep praying we will only have to endure three more years. 🙏🏻✋🏻 7y

LazyDays How fun! I use to, I grew up there. Now is a really nice time to go 😊🌈 7y

This is why I'm absolutely baffled as to why the National Embarrassment isn't in prison yet for obstruction of justice. I guess Robert Mueller is waiting to put him in jail for other charges as well--such as treason--but when Caligula has nukes, he needs to hurry.

BlueMonday42 The best nickname I‘ve heard for him so far has been “Creamsicle Caligula.” 7y

Let me fully explain the media in two rules.

Rule one is: "Bombs=Easy to understand." Swoosh, kaboom, "boots on the ground," Greatest Generation? Easy to understand.

Rule two is: "Russian Cyberwar= Not Easy to understand."

Disinformation, collusion, hacking, voter registration rolls, microtargeting? Not easy to understand.

The president of the United States has admitted that the Russians "meddled" in the election that put him in power, and he has blamed his predecessor in essence for not stopping him, and he has admitted to intimidating the FBI director who was investigating this treachery, and he has resumed his veiled threats of intimidation against the special counsel now investigating the treachery--and yet this "president" has not yet been removed and arrested.

Balibee146 It's just mind blowing! 7y

It's not that this book isn't good but I had to stop reading. I don't need this toxicity in my life. I'm surrounded by it and no matter where I look it's everywhere. I hate trump, I hope he leaves office. But I am no longer going to willing subject myself to this.

Marchpane Understandable. 7y
aizekj I'm with you. He's awful and I want him gone, but I can't keep watching this train wreck so closely. I'll lose my mind. (Of course, now I get to feel guilty about that.) 7y
freyaheart @aizekj yeah I feel you on the guilt. But for our own sanity sometimes you just have to look away. 7y
peaKnit Amen, I can't bear to hear about him either😝 7y
CatLass007 Trump and politics are why I removed Facebook from my phone. It‘s too all-consuming. 7y

A new presidential election before 2020 is entirely constitutional, though presumably politically impossible, because some legislation would have to be passed by the Senate or the House and presumably affirmed by the Supreme Court, and all three bodies would have to be hit by lightning simultaneously to knock enough patriotism and morality into the Republicans who control them to get them to actually hold a 2017 or 2018 presidential election.

Suet624 Stephen Miller is one scary dude behind Trump's decisions. Almost more frightening than Bannon. 7y
Yellowpigeon @Suet624 the part that kills me about Miller is he's my age. Exactly. We have the same cultural touchstones. 7y
Suet624 @Yellowpigeon Ah, yes. I'd be curious to find out about his childhood. Why does he hate? 7y
See All 6 Comments
Yellowpigeon @Suet624 my guess? Someone either in his family or another authority figure was a "respectable" white supremacist. They knew how to dress it up enough to not be kicked out of polite society. He took those ideas of "we are better than those people" and found stormfront and created a self fulfilling cycle. His family is probably bothered by the level of violence in his rhetoric but not the underlying ideas. 7y
Yellowpigeon @Suet624 something about him reminds me of a guy I went to college with. The only class I had with him was our sr seminar. It was a semester long research project. One woman, whose actual project I forget, was present on, say, why are kittens cute. He kept pushing that she should be really looking at why lions are scary. Nothing she or the professor said would convince him that his feedback was useless. He only stopped when we laughed at him. 7y
Suet624 @Yellowpigeon I appreciated reading your thoughts on this. I think you're right. Also, your seminar! Good lord. Always interesting when people want to create or live in fear. 7y

Every library I am an active member of does not have this ebook. I even placed a request for the hard copy at my local branch. Spoiler alert, they don't have it either.

Caterina How are you a member of so many libraries? 7y
freyaheart @Caterina the state of Pennsylvania lets citizens join any library in the state for free. I am also a former member of the San Francisco library on a visitor's card, it expired. Northern West Virginia has a $20 out of state fee for the whole year, I live super close to WV. Mater of fact I went there today. 7y

MinDea This site might be able to help you find a copy... 7y
MinDea Oh. Welp that link looks funny and isn't a link. Search books.google.com and that title and it should pop up. Looks like the whole ebook! 7y
freyaheart @MinDea thank you, it looks like it's just a preview. Some things are not available in it. I'll just have to wait it out or go and buy it. 7y
MinDea Bummer! Did the other site work I posted too that tells you local libraries that have it? 7y
MinDea Wait, when I go to the google book link I can see the entire book.... if you want I can email you the link to it... 7y
freyaheart @MinDea closest one is 15 miles. I do have a card for them but that also means a trip into... *gulp* downtown Pittsburgh. 🚗🚗🚓🚐🚒🚗🚙⛟🚛🚗🚗🚕🚔🚙🚚🚛🚑 7y
freyaheart It was almost the entire book. Some of the later chapters aren't avaible 7y

Who has the ebook I want? The library card that expired and isn't easily renewable. That's my luck.

Redjewel_7734 Figures that my library doesn‘t have it...I guess that‘s what I get for living in Eastern KY 😡 7y
freyaheart @Redjewel_7734 that's my whole problem to. I live in Pennsylvania. Freaking red state. 7y
Redjewel_7734 At least your state doesn‘t have to take responsibility for the McConnell shit show 😱😔😡I‘ll never understand why so many of my fellow Kentuckians buy into his BS despite all the evidence that he couldn‘t care less for us, esp if what is best for his constituents conflicts with what best lines his pockets. 7y

He then writes on the next page:

The countries of the Middle East against which Trump did NOT act include the home nations of all the 9/11 hijackers, and those of the San Bernardino attackers--Pakistan and the United States--and, most cynically of all, those countries in which Trump has business dealings.

Leniverse This book is one long awesome rant, isn't it? 😂 7y
keithmalek @Leniverse I wouldn't call it a rant because rants are disorganized. But you can tell from the number of posts I have here that almost every page has something quotable. I LOVE it! 7y
Yellowpigeon I'm still pissed about this. I live on this district and Lewis is amazing. He had two tuxedo cats! Can't argue with that 7y
