President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

LOL.

Like Trump's defenders ever have a problem reversing course on a dime.

 

"Would" vs. "Wouldn't"

That's the best backpeddling they could come up with? Shit, we got a lapdog right here, Yankee Fan, on this board who could come up with better excuses than that. Hell, there is even a chance that QYFW, who is Yankee Fan's dimmer, less interesting cohort, could come up with better excuse making.

 

Spelling counts!

 

That reading was as convincing as this one:

Trump finally admits it: 'President Barack Obama was born in the United States' - CNNPolitics

 

I just can't get it out of my head that Obama wore a tan suit one time. And had mustard on his burger. And drank light beer (maybe it was even non alcoholic beer) when he had a talk with Joe Q Public over beers.

 

This is a fantastic Freudian slip, since it applies to Fucko and his daily revisions of his personal history.

 

See, this is what actual journalists do when they screw up. They correct it an apologize. I fell for it and I should not have. I admit my error.

Now, let’s do all of Fox and the Seth Rich story. Your move.

 

But, with the help of thoughts and prayers, the nation survived.

 

Not an hour ago, the President decided to lie about his fuck up, instead of coming clean about his fuck up.

 

One inherent aspect of nation-states is that, at some point, one has to pick a "team." You can't play for—or root for—two teams, especially if they're rivals.

When you (and others—hi, Rand Paul!) go on the "we all do it, so it's no big deal" riff, it strikes me as the equivalent of a football head coach deciding not to play any defense. Here's the coach's presser:

"So what if the Red Bears scored four touchdowns on us last game? Don't we try to score on them too? Of course we do. Why, just a few years ago we scored FIVE touchdowns on them. On the last one, we spiked the ball and then WENT FOR TWO! That was before I got hired, when I beat out 17 great candidates.

Believe you me, we try to score touchdowns on every team we play. We all do it. You think we're so innocent?

Therefore, we won't worry about playing defense against the Red Bears. We're not going to watch film of the last game to see how their offense was successful, and we won't prepare our defense for the next game. If they score on us, that's fine, because they're just trying to win the game for their team. I don't worry about what they do.

I think I can have a very good relationship with Coach P of the Red Bears. I like him, and I think he likes me. I think it's better for us to get along. I don't consider him an adversary. Just a competitor.

In fact, he just made what I think is a very generous offer. He would be willing to have his coaches sit with our coaches and go through our playbook and all the scouting we have on them to date, and help us wherever he can."

Trump is basically the head coach of Team America. I'd like for him to get fired and replace him with a new coach next "season." We'll see what happens.

But I root for Team America. What team are you on?
