Avengers spoilers! Now that I have your attention, Trump's latest dumb thing

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Imagine if Obama had called into Maddow for 45 minutes to rant about how he'll arrest anyone who voted against the ACA.

"Would you let the President of the United States babysit your kids? You really ought to ask yourself. And if you doubt he can handle that kind of responsibility, what are we even doing here?

It's worth asking, again, because the world's most powerful man hosted the children of the White House Press Corps Thursday for Take Our Daughters and Our Sons to Work Day. "That's the politically correct term, and we always have to be politically correct, right?" he said. "So that's good." Then he told the kids he likes them better than their parents—because their parents are journalists, and he has launched a hate movement against journalists. Then he talked about his limo and how dogs are the best drug-detection equipment the world has ever seen. This mirrored a speech on opioid addiction he gave Wednesday, in which he also raved about dogs and the dress Melania wore to his inauguration, which was a segue into a rant about the border. Also this week, he tweeted more than 50 times in one day.

But it was all a stage rehearsal for his interview Thursday evening with Sean Hannity, the Shadow Chief of Staff. Yes, this is our world: people like Hannity and Lou Dobbs, the Fashy Benjamin Button, are among the president's closest advisers. Donald Trump, American president, called into Hannity's show mid-segment last night—surely causing panic in the control room—and the two strolled together through the baroque architecture of conspiratorial nonsense they've built together over the last few years. At this point, it's come to resemble an entire alternate reality.... *article continues* Donald Trump's Insane Sean Hannity Interview: Mueller Probe Was an 'Attempted Coup,' Hillary Clinton Should Be Prosecuted

I find the Trump hate on here excessively amusing, you'd figure after two years you all would find something else to complain about.

Well, as far as conspiratorial nonsense we won't have to take Trump's opinion on it if he does what he said he would. (Declassify all related documents.) I hope he does that then everyone can stop hemming and hawing about the fairy tales media outlets cook up. Trump had some valid points:

1) Mueller being assigned to the case after some business deal between Trump and him fell through. Sounds fishy, worth investigating -- first time I heard anything about it. Sounds like Bobby-boy got burned and wanted to stick it to Trump -- even if you hate Trump avenging some vendetta isn't what our government agencies are for. I'm not 100% sold on this, but if more information comes to light and confirms that statement or disputes it I'm all ears.

2) What was going on at the FBI was definitely conspiratorial. I have no doubt of that, and everyone at the top was involved in it. There is evidence, no ones opinion is necessary. There is more evidence of this going on than Russian collusion.

I hope all has worked out well for you.

I find those wailing "Trump hate" whenever anyone refers to Trump in anything less than glowing terms are excessively amusing. If he stops doing stupid stuff, I'll stop mentioning it.

If that's an off topic personal reference, we're... working through stuff.

 

[shmogie]

If that's an off topic personal reference, we're... working through stuff.

Yes, it was. I have thought about you often. I am glad you are working at it.

Sorry for being off topic. Carry on !

When did you become aware of Trump?

Thank you for the kind thoughts. Long path, but we've started on it, anyway.

No, it's not the dichotomy you claim, ie, either "Trump hate" or "glowing terms".
The obsession with hating Trump is indeed a real problem for many.
They claim lies for differences of opinion or the lack of allowance for poetic
license....they care about Trump's personal foibles to the exclusion of his
actual policies. They cannot even admit to any merit in any of his official
acts...even the First Step Act. All objectivity & ability to reason now elude them.
Indeed, TDS & TAD are real afflictions.

Consider your thread....it's a duplicate of your earlier one. Instead of just
posting in existing one, the volume is increased by creating a new one.

Trump is a great dichotomy.

On the one hand, he says some of the stupidest and arrogant things. He talks fast and loose with the facts, he is embarrassing at times.

On the other hand, the actual results of his administration for the most part are positive, in my view.

As to hillary being prosecuted, she should be.

Her monkey business with her private server meets all of the elements of the crime gross negligence, a serious felony.

However, she is of the ruling political class, composed of people from both parties, they protect one another.

A sailor went to prison because he took a photo of the inside of a nuclear sub, hillary compromised classified material on a horrendous scale, broke government rules and procedures on a massive scale, yet is immune from the law.

Also this week, he tweeted more than 50 times in one day.

I think there should be a law that every person must read every tweet that He makes.


As this headline says:

Trump Tweets 50 Times in 24 Hours on Russia, Mueller Report, Paul Krugman, Joe Scarborough
Trump’s 50 Tweets in 24 Hours Are a Frightening Window Into the Presidential Mind


Good God, man. As Daniel Dale pointed out, the president managed to call Joe Scarborough a "Psycho" who's "Angry, Dumb and Sick"; dismiss Democrats as "totally insane"; attack The New York Times as "Fake News" and the "Enemy of the People"; call Krugman "stupid"; and moan that Twitter is "very discriminatory." This was all by 7:30 a.m. on a Tuesday.

You would think the world's most powerful man might have better things to do. He does not, at least by his accounting. His inner world is now consumed by these wars against anyone who could hold him accountable for what he's done, the Fox News loop churning in the background, pumping the electric resentment and primal fear through his veins. We didn't need the Mueller Report to see he was unfit to wield the power he has, but the conduct it lays out only bolsters the case. It is not an EXONERATION, it's a plea for Congress to do its job in defense of the republic.​

And how many times did he denounce the Russians for sweeping and systematic interference in the 2016 election?

Love a Pres that’s got his priorities in order.

Funny thing, I don’t hate Trump. He’s as interesting as any other politician; not at all.

 

[Revoltingest]

Aye, personally he's not all that interesting.
But the whole Trump phenomenon is.
Consider the apparent changes which led to his election.....
- A Prez who is far far more candid & communicative than ever before.
He seems to have almost no filter between brain & speech or text.
- A Prez who sets a new standard for willingness to offend.
- A Prez who as a candidate was maximally unconventional, eg, no political
experience, checkered private sector experience, boorish behavior.
- He was elected despite overwhelming opposition by pollsters, the other party,
& even his own party.
- Incredible lack of any substantial electoral opposition from the Dems,
who fielded the weakest of candidates thru a process of murky back
room "old boy system" selection masquerading as open & honest..
- Democrat opposition to a Prez which rises above even the venom towards
Bill Clinton. It's notable in that for the first time in my lifetime they hate not
only Trump, but anyone who supports or voted for him. They don't accept
disagreement on policy or politician....they rail against an entire political wing,
& any who don't also hate Trump.

We live in interesting times, eh.

It's odd how he can do these insane rants, but if I openly said I'd like to punch him in the face and break his nose, people would either have the white coats after me or a swat team would be at my door.

Anything less than uncritical adoration is "hate." Apparently it's unreasonable to question those in authority or to hold them to any sort of standard.

Also, licking boots doesn't seem like a very LHP thing to be engaging in.

He pays lip service to your faith so of course he gets a pass.

Do you really believe that it's either one or the other?
If so, that's utter hogwash.
It's even unfair to compare it to washing hogs, which is useful.
It seems that you're denying the existence of unreasoned hatred.
We see plenty of that here on RF.
There's ample ground in between those extremes you cite.
One can like some of his policies, & oppose others.
And one can discuss his faults without hatred or idolization.

 

[Sky Rivers]

That’s not why I don’t hate him. Plenty of evil people pay lip service.

And you would hold the Trump administration to the same standards?
