BigRedBuster Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The man has no idea what he's saying when he's up there winging it. This is the man you gave the nuclear codes to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's interesting to see the scatter brained mentality that is behind the clueless tweets. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Is he the one that Trump wouldn't allow to ask a question? Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 At some point those of you finding ways to excuse him have to start asking yourself why you're so committed to those mental gymnastics, while at the same time so eager to condemn people like Meryl Streep. ...right? 4 Link to comment
Fru Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 That was one of the most shameful displays I've ever witnessed. What. Has. Happened? People who lack critical thinking skills fell for a dog-and-pony show put on by what amounts to a used car salesman, allowed themselves to be distracted by minutiae and affected by ridiculous side-stories, and either A) voted for the least qualified candidate in the past century or B) they didn't come out to vote at all. Also, the press abrogated their job for more than a year in the run-up to the election, choosing catchy soundbites rather than actually reporting news because the news has become more commercialized commodity than fact, thus the absolute unfitness of this man to run this country wasn't properly explored/explained by the people who are supposed to act as a watchdog over politics. Hit the nail on the head man. What a time to be alive. Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Is he the one that Trump wouldn't allow to ask a question? Yes. Trump called CNN "fake news." This isn't Trump just spouting off. It's intentional. It's called gaslighting, and we've seen it described here before. He's intentionally trying to discredit legitimate news sources so his followers don't know what to believe, and just believe him. 5 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 That's the rub. Trump and his cronies go ballistic and declare everything fake news and irresponsible and disgusting and whatever else... but they never choose to challenge what's actually being reports. It's all they can do. They try to attack and discredit the source because they can't refute the reporting. BECAUSE IT IS ACCURATE. Link to comment

Fru Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Discrediting and controlling the freedom of the press. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. 3 Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Discrediting and controlling the freedom of the press. Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Putin's Russia. And why wouldn't he aspire to this? He openly admires the model. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I can't even believe this is true. What a time to be alive, indeed. 1 Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 All I want to know is if Trump gets impeached, what's a scenario where we don't have to have Mike Pence either? Link to comment
Fru Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 All I want to know is if Trump gets impeached, what's a scenario where we don't have to have Mike Pence either? Thinking the same thing. I'm curious if he knew this would all implode at one point and Frank Underwooded his way to the Presidency. Link to comment

I'm curious if he knew this would all implode at one point and Frank Underwooded his way to the Presidency. I'm hoping he knew something and did nothing ... we get him out too and deal with Ryan. He's not my perfect dream of a pres, but he's not crazy, and I do think he wants to do good things. Link to comment
