President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The whole Ryan line of "he's new at this" is infuriating. Don't we as a country deserve better than a POTUS who has to learn everything on the job? And the GOP, the one and only party of patriotism, doesn't seem to think we do. Make up your mind, folks. Time to show some patriotism beyond waving the flag and singing along to Lee Fucking Greenwood.

 

Free advice. Lawyer up fast. Right now.

Trump lawyer reportedly told aides no need for outside counsel

 

They should all withdraw. That was absolutely beyond the bounds of decency.

 

Good explanation of how some people here and elsewhere get their (wrong) information:
A Pro-Trump Conspiracy Theorist, a False Tweet and a Runaway Story

 

When he was on the campaign trail he made a big talking point of Loretta Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton on the plane in his standard stump speech. He seemed to have a perfect grasp of why that was inappropriate then...

 

The New York Times?

 

See this earlier. Interesting read.

And that a-hole calling himself a "reality journalist." He makes me want to vomit.

 

Good fucking God. Russia wants a stable Syria with a strong president intact. The U.S. would just as soon ISIS control the place.
U.S. regime changes in the Middle East have sparked and fueled wars in Iraq and Libya. It supported regime change in Ukraine that has resulted in a civil war that has killed 10,000+. How many regime changes has Russia engineered in the past quarter-century?

The United States WANTS chaos and war 5,000 miles away because it's tucked safely away from the carnage, which weakens all the nations around the fighting.

If that's the "good stuff" . . . can't wait to see the shit stuff.

 

Sorry, this doesn't cut it. Russia wants a mass murderer to be in control of Syria so Putin can feel like he's something more than ruler of a country in steep decline that hangs on because it has lots of nuclear weapons. Bothsidesism is a standard part of Putin propaganda (not always wrong, but always twisted) which your posts echo with uncanny frequency.

 

Yes, Obungo could have solved all the divisiveness if he had quit acting so uppity, like he was president of the United States or something. Or if he had given up his arrogant insistence on Breathing While Black. But still he persisted.

 

I saw this woman on This Week this morning, but I missed this line. I'm thinking she botched her anology.

RNC Chair: Trump Expressing ‘Hope’ to Comey Is Like Telling Your Child ‘I Hope You Do Your Homework’

Around my house "I hope you did your homework before you got on that damn videogame" sure was a threat.

 

You obviously have ZERO knowledge of Russia in the 1990s if you think Russia in 2017 is "in decline" by comparison to the corpse it was when Yeltsin was last seen. But that's OK. Your ignorance is shared by about 330 million of your fellow citizens.
