President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Someone here asked if you’re supposed to ask.

 

Sam Nunberg, former Trump aide, vows to defy special counsel in Russia inquiry — then backs down

 

I don't know if this guy was drunk or not, but it would be a pretty impressive feat of drunkenness (a subject with which I have some slight familiarity) to do five or six cable television interviews in succession without revealing more than alcohol on one's breath.

 

That wasn't the question.

 

Functioning heroin addicts exist. I wouldn't put such a thing past any number of people.

 

Russian spy critically ill after exposure to 'unknown substance'

 

Didn't see he couldn't, only that it would be very impressive on the high-functioning scale. He did say he was on anti-depressants. Some of those combined with a slight amount of alcohol can produce spectacular results.

 

You either badly misread or intentionally misrepresented PCLoadletter's point. He acknowledged the guy's position and history. You made it about personal politics, not PC.

 

If he's drunk, he doesn't sound like it. So I don't think CNN could have gleaned anything from his previous appearances. In other words, I don't think they heard the previous appearances and said, gleefully, "Oh, good. He's trashed. We'll have some must-see TV."

After saying he hadn't consumed alcohol, he says he's on his antidepressants. I was not surprised by the admission of antidepressants in light of the rant that followed. He doesn't sound well. I'm no doctor, of course, but I am familiar with such topics as a layman whose family includes a considerable history of depression.

First thing tomorrow, this guy is going to release a mea culpa statement saying he took his meds too late or he was, in fact, drinking. He's going to have to walk back some of the things he said in order to avoid jail time.

 

He already started.

 

I mean, the obvious question watching that Erin Burnett clip is, What did she smell if it wasn't alcohol?

 

Not trying to start anything - or be snide but I do wonder what a Trump fan makes of things these days. Do you support (most or) all the policies, but not Trump? Do you still have confidence in the Administration and think that everyone is out to "get" the President? Do you just enjoy the spectacle of seeing the left freak out with every eruption or new policy? Do you think the President is good for the party or do you worry how he will change if the GOP loses control of Congress?
