QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED BY NEO: What superpower does Trump have?
You know that game people sometimes play? The one where you choose which superpower you’d want?
Sometimes the choices are limited, such as in this typical group: “Telepathy, teleportation, super-strength, invisibility or the ability to regenerate your cells.”
But I’ve never seen a list that includes the one Donald Trump seems to possess, which is the ability to drive your enemies crazy and make them do stupid things.

NEWS YOU CAN USE: “Craft Whiskey” Sucks. Here’s Why.
I’M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER MONDAY, BEFORE THE NEWS CYCLE FLIPPED TO ALL IMPEACHMENT, ALL THE TIME: Greta Thunberg: Lisa Simpson Crossed with Bane.
Thunberg — think Lisa Simpson crossed with Bane — told the United Nations, “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.” Nah. On the contrary, Thunberg’s life has coincided with what are almost certainly the 16 best years in the entire history of humanity. If she wants to talk hard times, wait till she hears about my childhood, when grown-ups thought it was perfectly fine to move millions of machines around that spewed lead into their kids’ lungs. And mine of course, was the luckiest of all generations to that point.
Thunberg sailed to the U.S. on her famously eco-friendly yacht Publicity Stunt, which we later learned required two Europeans to fly over here to retrieve it. In the gonzo math of climate change, two flights plus a water crossing produce fewer moral emissions than one flight. The Thunbergians declared she would make up for this by buying climate credits, which is also what Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio say when they’re getting on a Gulfstream to fly to their next conference. If she just wanted to deliver a speech, though, why didn’t she spend the time it takes to cross the Atlantic planting trees instead and then speak unto us all from her bedroom? Maybe because “teen uploads YouTube video” is a stretch for even CNN to label BREAKING.
Like many a 16-year-old before her, Thunberg merely skimmed her assigned reading and has only a Cliff’s Notes understanding of the IPCC report on climate change, which she incorrectly characterized as giving us eleven years before the start of “an irreversible chain reaction beyond human control.” The report just doesn’t say that. The Thunbergians are to science what the Branch Davidians were to religion.
And this isn’t the first time the UN tried its “assault on reason,” (h/t: the Goreacle) with a previous mascot of the anointed:
I just dug up this clip from 1992…
Severn Cullis-Suzuki’s speech to the UN in 1992 on climate change sounds an awful lot like Greta Thunberg’s in 2019.
I cut the two together to show just how similar the language is: pic.twitter.com/18ptTzX4M4

I don’t care how racists and other scumbags communicate with each other. It has nothing to do with me, and I refuse to concede anything to them. Why should we let the dregs of society dictate which hand signals we can and can’t use? Why should we do exactly what they want us to do? Why should we surrender to them?
The trick is to be smarter than the racists. Right, Barry?

HERE’S A GREAT QUESTION FOR DEMOCRATS ON TRUMP: Issues & Insights poses it this way: “Of course there is no evidence that Trump is a racist or white supremacist. If he is, why wasn’t this fact made known over his more than three decades as a public figure; when he was registered as a Democrat in the first decade of this century; when he was friends with the Clintons; and when he donated money to Hillary’s Senate campaign, several other Democrats, and the Clinton Foundation?”
