Scott Adams met with President Trump in the Oval Office and it was oh so comfortable, just the greatest day of his life and the only thing close...

... was that time a decade ago when he took mushrooms, and in fact, it was very like being on mushrooms, where everything was so completely familiar and yet so different... there is simply no one in the universe as charismatic and comfortable as our great President of Presidents, Donald Trump:



Afterwards, after that only very brief but scintillating meeting, he didn't want it to end, so he just — it was pouring rain — he just walked and walked in the rain... so he could absorb it... not the rain... but the mushroomishly wonderful time with the man who made him feel as if he were the only person in the world.

Fortunately, there's video of Scott leaving the White House:

So when does Mick get to meet POTUS?

IMHO.

And we’ll strive to please you every day.

Darrell said...

PB&J + Anti de Sitter space = 0

A waste of electrons.

Sprezzatura said...

Sheesh Darrell, so harsh.

You could simply state that you prefer Althouse's rain video.



rehajm said...

Adams has a thrill going up his leg. Ew.

buwaya said...

He's a fan. He met an even more expert persuader.
Thats a problem, if one is to write about persuasion.

Sprezzatura said...

But, maybe Darrell's a fan of the Alt subtext:

Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Lots of doo-doo.



buwaya said...

That said, I think everyone should try attend one of Trumps rallies.
They are something. Moreso, to chat with the other attendees. Lots of time for that, in line. Its a social occasion.
Interesting lot.

And it really is history playing out.

Sprezzatura said...

"I think everyone should try to attend one of Trumps rallies."


Ha ha.

It's cool that cons are now into reading importance into a pol being able to amass big crowds of fans at rallies.


Hilarious.

Sprezzatura said...

It wasn't too long ago that it was groups of screaming teabag-hat folks that were important to hear, not the big-rally guy.

Now, the rally guy is the one to follow, now we should mock those folks w/ grabbable hats.

BamaBadgOR said...

Maybe this shows why Trump prefers 1:1 or small meetings.

Ralph L said...

Adams needs a good editor for his mouth.
I didn't know engineers were even capable of wandering like that.

buwaya said...

Hmm
Turns out I've done more mushrooms than Scott Adams.

Darrell said...

Anti de Sitter,

Order yourself another bag of dicks from Uber Eats and take the night off.
We already know what Lefty losers think.

Ray - SoCal said...

I would like to attend a Trump rally, but the ones in Ca seem to attract the resistance.

What happened at the Trump rallies at the OC fair grounds and San Jose shocked me.

tcrosse said...

Clever camera angles covered up the fact that Hillary couldn't draw flies. Of course, now she can.

buwaya said...

No point in this really, responding to PB&J, but -
You go to the rally, more than anything, to meet the people.
The lot of them gathered thus are the phenomenon. History doesnt usually give us the opportunity to speak to the crowd, each individual. But there you do.

Thats also what you should be doing when you travel, if you like doing that. Earth is earth, mountains are mountains, ocean is ocean, and marble is marble, if you have seen enough. But people are something else, they give the flavor to every acre or moment.

Sprezzatura said...

Buw,

And, did you also attend the bigger BHO rallies?


Assuming that you did not, see the problem?

Ken B said...

Dear god, is he “pre-missing this lovely man”? How embarrassing would a gush like that be!

rhhardin said...

I would have assumed they'd talk shop.

rhhardin said...

I met Joan Baez once.

CWJ said...

buwaya,

Doing the work that Americans are unwilling to do. And you see the response you get. Sad.

Sprezzatura said...

Darrell,

You bring up a good point. What is a good frankfurter?

Do you have a favorite? In the past, I've read pro reviews that say Hebrew National are the best, if yur looking for widely available options.

Always open to input = me.

rhhardin said...

Classmate Janet Smith was actually a better singer in the same style, in my opinion, but try googling her. Her public anonymity is assured.

buwaya said...

I've met a fair number of pols in my time.
Nice people (Cory Aquino was the saintliest, daintiest momma type you could hope for), or scary people. Most come across as salesmen - the sort of character who wanders over at the auto dealers. The better ones don't, but could probably sell the proverbial icebox to an Eskimo anyway.

But few of them can, on their own, draw a crowd, anywhere in the world. Crowds are usually arranged, bused in, drawn by free entettainment, etc., or motivated by other causes, and the politico just happens to be nearby. But Trump can, by himself, fill stadiums, if he could get them. He is the draw. Thats very unusual.

Amadeus 48 said...

But how were the creases in Trump's trousers? Perfect? Elegant? Leg-thrilling? Did Trump talk about Reinhold Niebuhr? Forgiveness is the final form of love.

Until Scott Adams tops David Brooks and Chris Matthews, he's just a wannabe.


Sprezzatura said...

Buw,

BHO did bigger numbers than DJT.

Back then, cons had the take that this was proof that DJT was leading braindead cultists, or such.

Now, you tell me that DJT's smaller numbers are amazing, historical, blah, blah, blah...


My usual POV is to see the humor in this stuff. Even so, I'm not a sociopath, i.e., it's hard to not get the sads for y'all. Please do better.

buwaya said...

Americans are very willing to "do the work" as far as seeing DJT in person.
Way more show up than can be let in. The venues are medium sized.
This is in part deliberate I think, for several reasons.

But security worries aside he could do a stadium tour, easy, with entertainment to make a night of it.

Sprezzatura said...

Fixed.

Sprezzatura said...

BTW Buw,

Are you gonna get all Spicy re who gets bigger numbers re DJT v BHO?


SAD!

traditionalguy said...

Scott said they were already on the same wave length and no pacing was needed.

The interesting part for me was my wife was impressed when Scott says Trump is an exact opposite to the Narcisscist slander against him that was so prevalent in his first year of his campaigning. That was mere jealousy and 100% wrong.

The best comparison for Donald's level of social skills was Bill Clinton. Just think what 20 hours a day by Trump can do with that skill set. Sweet Old Bill had to spend 10 hours a day chasing pussy.

Darrell said...

Proving that PB&J can't keep an idea in his head for an entire sentence. Obama's bigger numbers would lead one to suspect a brain-dead cult following. Or paid SEIU holidays and bus trips to attend.

Darrell said...

That should be "can't keep an idea in his fucking head."

Sprezzatura said...

Darrell,

Thanks for you POV re DJT v BHO crowd size.

More importantly, any frankfurter recommendations? No geographical limitations. Sometimes its fun to fly-frivolous.

Sprezzatura said...

Sky's the limit.

As they say.

Fernandinande said...

rhhardin said...I met Joan Baez once.

Only once? well, I met Dilbert.

Darrell said...

Anti de Sitter space--

If you think dicks = hot dogs, you must have eaten a lot of hot dogs. And dicks, of course.

buwaya said...

Chorizo Bilbao in, depending on your location, the Spanish version of the French baguette, or pan de sal. Granted proper pan de sal is impossible to get anymore.

buwaya said...

My dad had a sausage factory.
Chorizo Bilbao, cured lomo, etc.
More a hobby than a business, but for a few years, till he got ill, he supplied a lot of restaurants.
I know how sausage is made, the real thing and the political analog.

Leland said...

LOL! Adams is proud of his magic mushroom experience. It seemed, when high on the stuff, to give Adams the gift of knowledge only few ever will obtain. I'm glad he can now sustain the heightened level with his regular marijuana doses.

wbfjrr2 said...

sounds like Althouse is jealous maybe? Also pretty condescending to two guys who've run rings around her career-wise.

As for Gene Kelly, watch closely and you'll see how very athletic and coordinated he was. Things had to be pretty slippery as wet as the set was and he never had a hint of a falter. Very talented guy--they don't make em like that anymore.

Sprezzatura said...

Darrell,

This is a day for nostalgia.

If you mean "dicks," please write "hogs."


Snatch.

Fernandinande said...

"If our mushrooms make you hallucinate, please inform us immediately so we can overcharge you."

Darrell said...

Sure, Titus.

gadfly said...

As William Penn in his collection Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims (1682) [via Wiki] noted:

"If thou hast not conquer'd thy self in that which is thy own particular Weakness, thou hast no Title to Virtue, tho' thou art free of other Men's. For a Covetous Man to inveigh against Prodigality, an Atheist against Idolatry, a Tyrant against Rebellion, or a Lyer against Forgery, and a Drunkard against Intemperance, is for the Pot to call the Kettle black."

Can't speak for Darrell but here are few recommendations for you:

A&H seem to be at a store on Mercer Island.

I suggest you soak them first to get out the salt from koshering the meat. Boiled or grilled, depending on one's taste.

It only goes to show that one narcissist cannot see narcissism in others. That seems to be true of Rush and Sean as well as Scott.

Even the Trump tweet that Scott found amusing where our New York liberal insulted Lebron James and Don Lemon was amazing since he called them dumb - that from most likely the dumbest and socially immature president ever.

Earnest Prole said...

Sounds like Adams got almost as wet as Obama's fangirlz.

tim in vermont said...

Makes one wonder how many other people are so blinded by partisan feelings that they miss stuff...

traditionalguy said...

FTR: Narcissim is not arrogant bragging and boasting. It is a deadly demand by a powerful person that all people around him play the role the narcisist demands they play for his self image, or be eliminated. It is the ultimate anti-social behavior.

rcocean said...

I can see why Scott is happy.

In 2016, he had the strange idea he could talk about the Trump Candidacy is an objective way - because he was basically a leftist.

He found out wrong. All his college campus gigs went away. His outside income dropped to zero. He'd been ostracized.

Fortunately for him, Trump won. And he's found a new source of outside income.

Darkisland said...


Hey, Sitter,


Rasmussen Reports

@Rasmussen_Poll

Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 29% This time last year: 15%

Suck it, sitter.

John Henry


Sebastian said...

"insulted Lebron James"

That is stupid. LeBron had been baiting him, but he could be disarmed. But Trump fights.

Darkisland said...

Wb,

You think singing in the rain is a great number?

It is, but watch this. https://youtu.be/aZYS2rKh01U

Gene Kelly doing a similarly athletic dance routine.

But on Roller skates!

John Henry

langford peel said...

The Lebron tweet was hilarious.

Does Lebron has his GED yet?

Ralph L said...

Does you?

langford peel said...

No I doesn't. Why?

You want to suck Lebron's dick? Most wiggers do like that shit stain Michael Rapaport. I bet you are a big fan.

You can catch Lebron's act on the Gorilla channel. Wack off to it why don't you my good man.

Guildofcannonballs said...

Them Florida Crowes is bad news per Dewey (Kentucky Crowe).

Guildofcannonballs said...

Justified season 5 features a new villain, the kingpin of the Crowe clan, the redneck crime family from Florida led by Darryl Crowe. Dewey Crowe (Damon Herriman) returns and we’ll his cousin Darryl, played by Michael Rapaport.

langford peel said...

Michael Rapaport is quite possibly the worst actor in the history of acting. He makes Paulie Shore look like Laurence Olivier.

langford peel said...

However since the death of Ralphie May he is the biggest wigger in the United States so there is that.

eddie willers said...

Justified season 5

Terrible season. Skip it and move on.

narciso said...

Yes,season 4 based on the bluegrass conspiracy was better, we get some back story on the Crowther and givens clans

walter said...

Next time he should do shrooms right before the meeting.

Oso Negro said...

Wow. I’m old enough to remember when Scott Adams was right up there with Dylan on this blog. One little moment of sycophancy.....

Mr. Groovington said...

buwaya said...Turns out I've done more mushrooms than Scott Adams.

Yup, me too. Funny, buwaya, I didn’t take you for one who did that. Have you gone the distance and tried ayahuasca yet? I recommend it.

i wasn't THAT impressed with it (was still kinda impressed with it) before he started TAP DANCING IN ROLLER SKATES; after that, I decided that Gene is The Best Skater EVER!
And, he does it all with metal wheels

MPH said...

Pathetic

brylun said...

Isn't it "Singin' in the Rain", not "Singing"?

iowan2 said...

It's fun to read the comments, then step back, chew through the comments, and put them in context with the Presidents accomplishments in his first 18+ months in office. An economy that NO economist predicted, or predicted was possible, absent an unforeseen event of some sort. President Trump, by his sheer intellect and ability, is rebuilding the United States role as leader of the fee world.
Contrasted by the media and Dems,(I repeat myself) 100's of imagined disasters, All of which have turned out to be nothing.

Ralph L said...

When he's hit by lightning, it's "Singing in the Rain." Otherwise, it's Singin'.

Chuck said...

So throughout the campaign, Adams kept telling all of us that he didn’t align with either candidate as a matter of policy? Did he talk about any of his policy differences with Trump? I don’t want to have to listen to more of Adams to find out.

Moreover, was Adams’ visit arranged in connection with a contribution to Trump or the Republican Party?

Ralph L said...

I thought "Sin-ging in the Rain" was a pretty good pun, but I guess no one else did.

Bad Lieutenant said...

Moreover, was Adams’ visit arranged in connection with a contribution to Trump or the Republican Party?

My word, but you're hollow. I've had vacuum tubes less empty than you.

Gk1 said...

I began reading Adams during the republican primary back when I was in disbelief that Trump was for real and that I thought he would flame out quickly and damn if Adam's wasn't correct with his predictions. Then I remember July 2016 as the access hollywood tapes came out that I thought Trump was like a Todd Akin's on steroids and that he was finished and he was going to go down in flames and Adams dissected what was going on and how it wouldn't get any traction because everyone knew trump was a dog. Then weeks later he boldly predicted Trump winning and why. And now here we are. It would seem Scott has a better track record than 97% of the MSM and their democratic toadies.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

This is what you folks so often sound like. The worship, the sychopancy, the cultish behavior, yes you.

walter said...

Happy #ObamaDay !

readering said...

Adams a big, articulate fan of POTUS going in and remains one going out. Wish he hadn't demurred on his prior WH visit for context. Wish he had acknowledged he was being rewarded and cultivated.
