President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

So the solution you're proposing is ... ?

 

The suspected photoshopper seen scurrying away...

 

You have to be kidding me. Some of you have lost all sense of humor. He was joking around. It was funny.

 

Acknowledge the threat is real and work together to stop it instead of making pc excuses for barbarians.

 

I believe that this is happening.

 

The threat of terrorism is real, and we should try to prevent terrorist attacks.


OK.

That's done.

Now what?

 

If I thought Trump and his people had any political sense, I'd believe this whole healthcare thing was a gambit to destroy Ryan as retaliation for not helping the campaign. As it stands now, it may work out that way anyhow.

 

Hollow words. If you wanted to prevent terrorist attacks, you'd stop placating terrorists.

 

Sean Spicer's hair looks tight.

Musta got a haircut.

 

Which terrorists have been placated?

 

The "I want a vote" demand is incredibly stupid. It doesn't just hang Ryan out to dry, it hangs all the Republican Congresspeople too, by putting them on the record when they'd rather not be. Trump needs those people. They are all that's standing between him and some very nasty investigations. What if those 30 or so no votes decide to get even by supporting the release of Trump's tax returns, or a special prosecutor for the Russia, or, well, you get the idea.
How many here saw "Inside Job," that Spike Lee bank heist movie? There's a scene where hero cop Denzel Washington turns to political fixer Jodie Foster and says, "you don't want to make me your enemy." She give a pitying look and says, "I didn't get where I am by making enemies, I got here by making friends." It's a lesson Trump hasn't yet had to learn, but he will.
