President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

well, let's take a show of hands of how many people here have had their minds changed about a political topic thanks to @Yankee dink. He'd be better off buying a tree trump and shouting at passing motorists

 

When churches are being bombed, I think "terrorism" is the generally accepted motive, unless there is an ethnic minority involved. Then it's "racially motivated terrorism".

 

Tree Trump?

 

Then don't engage him. No one's twisting your arm to post on this thread. Yet.

 

Zero, no.

I understand why you have to ask for details, because the circles you get your news from seem extremely unconcerned about this apparent terrorist attack.

 

An unsophisticated attack, with no injuries or deaths, with no suspect, or motive, in flyover country hasn't generated a lot of discussion.

Am I supposed to be shocked or upset by this?

I've still got the odds at 50/50 that it's a fake attack, designed to generate sympathy and/or outrage.

 

An evergreen statement: Trump's Twitter shitshow today is a goddamn embarrassment.

If only it wasn't raining and he could be occupied by playing golf.

Whenever he's this unhinged, it's usually right before or after some really, really bad news. Makes you wonder what he knows is about to break. Going after the New York Times in a big way. Guessing this is early pushback for whatever is coming.

Also, I know journalism is "the enemy" to him and his cult. But when was the last time a president rooted for a business to shut down and have thousands of people lose their jobs?

It would really hurt his tremendous Obama economy.

 

I'm waiting for a major shareholder in the NYT Corp to sue Trump for wrongly depressing NYT's stock, especially in light of his constant support of Rupert Murdoch's empire.

 

"He inherited the recession from Obama" will be the refrain, regardless of when the recession starts.

That's always the playbook.

 

Stephen Miller suggested giving the Times a special carve-out in the immigration bill to hire low skill workers.

How can you suggest he wants to hurt them?

Glenn, maybe we'll make a carve-out in the bill that says the New York Times can hire all the low-skilled, less-paid workers they want from other countries, and see how you feel then about low-wage substitution.

You're kidding, right? He wants the NYT and WaPo to go out of business. And supports state-run Fox News.

 

And ever using Stephen Miller to support an example is a loser. Dead-eyed, lying prick of the highest order.
