which it never has. DUH! Geez, just watched the video - he doesn't vote and thinks trump is good because he used to be a dem and is now a repug. I don't understand how he thinks this when there is no evidence that trump does anything for anyone other than what might make him money or increase his power. What a worthless interview.

This will be a better world when we all stop pretending, and we admit that Dilbert was never funny.

I'm listening to him talk about his Trump report card on Pakman's show and not only doesn't he know what he's talking about, he's fucking arrogant.

and then he talks about Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Yeah, asshole, I'll buy your book "Win Bigly"..when hell freezes over.

but his blog is way way off the mark when it comes to Trump. I consider him a smart guy but not sure how he can actually believe the shit he is selling.

Now it's just mean, and the only joke is "The elite (the educated engineer) is smarter than the ignorant boss." The strip reads like Ayn Rand anymore, with the stupid people screwing up the world and the only smart guy standing alone as the hero who ridicules everyone else.

that can put any lipstick on that pig.
He has a different form of Trump Derangement Syndrome than the people he was talking about as having been so afflicted.
I guess at least he talks in relatively coherent sentences.

and "an expert on persuasion?"
He has to throw that out in every interview.

I remember him crowing on what a genius Trump was for coming up with the phrase "drain the swamp," which he called "weapons grade persuasion."

Adams was too stupid to realize the phrase has been around for years and was Nancy Pelosi's slogan when the Dems took back the House in 2006 following the Abramoff scandal.

his initial prediction was that Trump would win the popular vote by 60 percent or so.

Adams has tried to take Trump's popular vote loss/electoral squeaker and claims it proves his wildly erroneous prediction true.

Seriously......? You gave the shitgibbon an “A”? For what again?

One mouthful he claims the absence of a terrorist attack is in large part what President Obama put in place, and this con-artist hasn’t done anything differently but blow dark, smelly gas out of pie hole....and for that he gets an “A”? Give me a break.

This guy so obviously thinks he is so much more worth hearing than my crazy neighbor who believes President Obama was born in Kenya and prays on his carpet, in secret, five times a day.

What a jack ass. He gets an “A” in jackassery. Buffoon.

He made money by illustrating that corporate america IS stupid, the bosses are greedy, incompetent bastards, and that the workers get screwed. Him lionizing Trump is like a chicken lionizing KFC.
