Is Trump’s CPAC speech still not enough to convince republicans that he is an idiot?

Maybe I'm just looking at it from my view point.
I latched on to the best machinists in the shop and plied them with questions and advice.
But then the kids I ran into after 25 years of machining thought they knew it all and wouldnt take my advice.
I trained a lot of the younger crowd over the years,some were receptive but a lot weren't.
I found out the best way to deal with them was to let them fail on their own.
The one's that came back and asked for help invariably went on to be a decent machinist.

But I will bet most didn't do it how you did it back in the day. Most were just like the kids you run into today.

We didnt have thirty year olds living at home like we do today.
Hell,I couldnt wait to get out of the house.

That is not all on the kids. Standard of living has gone down quite a bit since our time and wages have stagnated. It is not easier now as many like to say. In fact it is for the most part tougher.

I think it has more to do with instant the gratification generation.
They dont have the patience to work their way up the ladder.

Maybe so, I just am not sure. Not an I ready to throw these kids under the bus. The same things were said about our generation. I remember heading it from my parents and other people their age when I was younger!

I think a lot of it has to do with parents these days as well.
My parents and my friends parents would have never allowed us to stay at home into our thirties or our twenties for that matter.

I absolutely do as well, just admiring the odds that the 2 of you overcame. That is awesome.

I hate to say it but I think the younger generation are lacking in work ethics.
Before I retired in 2012 we'd get two year machinist wanting top dollar when they didnt know shit and had no understanding of working your way up,it was all about instant gratification.

The foreman would hand them a tough job and a print and say go at it. If you can complete the job in a reasonable amount of time with no help we'll talk.
They failed every time.
In other words the youth of today have an inflated opinion of their worth.

I think that's just kids man, today and yesterday both.

They can't either, but the current economic realities are preventing them.

But kids have always been that way.

I know I wasn't and none of my friends were.
We were raring to go when we hit 18. We all had shit jobs in the beginning so we'd all pitch in a get an apartment.

My lack of effort in highschool was partially that. Reality later.

I hated high school but that didnt mean I didnt know my place in the pecking order in life.
I was low man on the totem pole and I knew it.
It was incentive enough to make me work my ass off so I wasn't one of the peons.

May god help you all.

/——/ No one else will fight for out country. The Swamp will sell us down the river in a heart beat just to stay in power.

I’m sorry what is it that you think is the “swamp” and didn’t Trump drain it? Did he not drain it? I totally thought he drained that shit. I mean he said he was going to right? Hm.

/—-/ No one ever said Trump “drained” the swamp. It’s his goal but the swamp is alive and slithering

Lol I still don’t know what the swamp is and why he has failed to drain it thus far. What’s he waiting for?

Ofc you don't cupcake.

It's OK, We adults will handle the situation.

Trust me I still realize you can’t answer the question lol

But i wasn't. I was on the football team, hung out with the cheerleading squad, all the cool-kid stuff. So my grades weren't the greatest, I was the star running-back. Nobody cared.

I think we're on different pages here.
I was referring to life after I quit high school.

I was kinda in the preppy crowd although I did play football and basketball.
But our version of preppy was more like The Greasers vs the Socks without all the violence.
We were the party crowd. We formed a group called the Paramedics and we'd buy anywhere from six to a dozen kegs and set up on some back road in the boonies or at our favorite spot we called the box cars which was a rarely used switching station.
We charged ten bucks a head paid for the beer and made a tidy profit.

The whole thing was bizarre, childish and full of non-sense. It’s just incredible to me that Trump would actually bring up the size of his inauguration crowd after 2 years. What the absolute fuck?

If that wasn’t enough, he had to bring up Hillary and of course the mindless drones in the audience shouted the “lock her up!” Are you fucking kidding me? They are still talking about Hillary? God I wish they would lock her up so republicans can just shut the fuck up about her. It’s astounding how republicans pretend she is still relevant to anything.

Also, how could any grown adult not realize how ridiculous Trump looks when he hugs the American flag? He could start humping it and his supporters would still go ape shit in applause I guess.

You are the idiot, lol. But we LOVE your posts! Do you know they are being shared? I hope not, because you are creating more independent voters than we ever could! Keep up the good work Billy-Baloney-)

Lol as long as I don’t create more republicans I don’t care if i create conservative independents.

Bill Clinton came to the white house with nothing but a couple of Arkansas suitcases. Barry Hussein was a community agitator married to a disbarred lawyer. His half brother lived in a freaking tree in Africa making about $20 per month. Donald Trump had to take a cut in pay to become president and the quasi socialists think he is an idiot but Hussein and the Klintons are geniuses. Go figure.
