President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Maybe Ms. Radtke, "a mother and grandmother strongly opposed to trump and his minions!!", shouldn't be treated as a valid news source.

 

How on earth do we know that other incoming presidents didn't obtain them before inauguration?

If you are inaugurated on Jan. 20 and have a crisis on Jan. 21, don't you want to make sure any needed back channel already is in place? You kind of need to use those 10 weeks between the election and the inauguration to get things in place so you can hit the ground running, I'd say. You'd be an idiot not to.

 

Did someone post the fake Time Magazine cover? I feel like I saw it here, but can't find it.

 

OK. Great.

 

I guess Trump isn't playing 27th-dimensional chess if he isn't capable of getting a message to a confidante inside the White House without a face-to-face meeting. That must mean he really is the simpleton he portrays.

 

As evidenced by the silky smooth takeoff of the Fucko Administration. A study in seamless transition.

 

Wasn't treating it as one. But people continue to breathlessly retweet shit like that as if it's going to do anything other than provide a chuckle. It's stupid. Carry on.

 

Or a traitor.

The career people are there for a reason. They span administrations. It's not like the CIA stops its work. And trump started receiving intelligence briefings way before the election was even held. No one is starting from zero.

 

The untouched photo of those two goobers isn't much better.
Eric Trump is one butt-ugly dude.

 

There is no reporting to suggest Trump is considering firing Mueller. None.

All these great reporters bringing light to the darkness and not one has anything to report on the subject.

And so, instead, we get Chris Ruddy -- Chris Fucking Ruddy -- on the PBS NewsHour telling us what he thinks the president is perhaps considering. He tells us that his thoughts are based on Trump's lawyer's public statement.

Is there any news value in this? Any?

It's no better than all the reports that Trump was going to fire people as soon as he got back from Europe. We keep seeing news reports that turn out to be false, but that doesn't stop anyone from putting out the next false report.

And people want to talk about Spicer's credibility? The media has no credibility with much of the American public.

 

MSNBC kicks off the top of the hour with their tease of what their going to be covering -- the clip of Chris Ruddy on PBS and questioning if Dennis Rodman is in North Korea as an emissary of Trump.

LOL.

They have no grounds to ever mock any politician or rival news network.
