Impuissance

During the Obama admininstration, the argument went that Obama basically had no power to do any differently than he did — he couldn’t possibly have achieved any more than the weak sauce that we all saw. That he was hamstrung. That the bully pulpit was useless, that he was as powerless as an infant in a tornado.

First, recognize that Trump has signed no new bills. Congress has not acted on anything.

Also recognize that for all the destruction Trump has already precipitated, Obama could have done just as much or nearly so in the opposite direction with the tip of his pen, just like Trumpty Dumpty.

You fucking idiot putzes, you froward flap-mouthed louts, you were Obama impotence apologists all — and now you’re seeing to all our regrets just how worthlessly wrong you all were.

Fuck each and every one of you.
