Poster's note:
This is just some guy's blog.
It was sent to me via email.

I've never heard of "Regie" before, but I have to agree with what he has to say.

TRUMP, OR SOMETHING LIKE HIM …
AUGUST 22, 2018

“Give me an a**hole who can play …”

This is a famous quote from iconic drummer, Buddy Rich. Buddy only wanted the best on stage with him. He didn’t care about their “moral character” or if they were pleasant to be around. He didn’t even care if he, himself, liked them. He hired only guys who could burn the room down with him …not boy scouts who were mediocre. Hence, the famous quote.

President Donald Trump appears to be in trouble. A series of confessions and convictions, of and by people around him, are casting a strange, dark light on his presidency at the moment. There is a perception (at least) that shady stuff has gone on around this guy. And when shady stuff constantly goes on around someone in charge, you have to conclude that the guy in charge is okay with shady stuff.

Has he hung around tax evaders and money launderers? Clearly. Did he pay off porn stars and Playboy Playmates to keep their dalliances quiet? I think we can safely conclude that he did. Is he a petulant child in the Twitter-verse? One hundred percent. Does he say things in public my mother would slap me for saying? Literally, everyday. Did he conspire with a foreign power to win an election? Maybe. Will any of this make a difference to his supporters? That’s a complicated answer. Let me explain …

Blogger simply proves the point I have against ForeverTrump®, because exactly as with the Marxist Left - they give two shits about character, and morality, which means they don't care about the Republic or the rule of law (which requires character and morality in order to have a rule of law), except in name only as a justification to do what they want done.  All they care about is power and who can get them what they want.

Which means that a Republic is no longer possible because likely more than 2/3 of the American people only want a ruler and a party who does whatever it takes, at whatever cost, no matter what or whom or how it is employed - to give them what they think they want. They do not care what the character of the rulers are that they want in power, what kind of past and statements they have made or what that may portend in their ability to justly govern and garner trust of the nation.  They want a street thug who bloodies noses and drives their enemies into fits of hysteria before they are subjugated in one form or another.

The Trump bunch is busy bitching right now at all the unfairness and treason and subterfuge being done to 'get Trump' - yet they will applaud the same measures being used to punish and stick it to those whom they want to see hurt (see the justification for an Internet Fairness Doctrine).

So, again - this blogger proves that the Trump faithful are just the opposite side of the same coin that the Marxist Left is.  Trump is just the flip side of the coin of Obama.  His Heinous' fawning supporters wanted a thug to use government as a weapon, and Trump's fans want exactly the same.

There is a huge and mighty difference between a thug/bully and a warrior.

Obama and Trump are thugs and bullies in their own fashion.  Neither of them are warriors.

And they beget a following and mass movement of the same.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
