President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Trump is 87D chess boxing!

 

I invite you to be the impartial observer.

Take a look at it, and tell us what you see.

 

Yes. Exactly.

It didn't occur to me that Q drew up Chait's chart.

 

"President Trump no longer doubts the basic intelligence assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election — he just seems incapable of taking it seriously, and tells staff that is simply what nations do, several sources close to Trump tell me."

Why Trump gives Putin a pass on Mueller revelations

 

Heh. Rand Paul is the only American politician my wife likes. Really.

American journalists really are Trump-level ignorant about what the US did to Russia in the 1990s. Yeltsin was OUR guy. WE told him to sack his prime minister in 1999 because the PM wanted to rein in the capitalism-run-amok economy that we ushered in and so celebrated --- and that had destroyed his country and allowed oligarchs to pillage the state and take the dollars to America. We equated "more government control" with "COMMUNISM!!!" and told Yeltsin the PM (Yevgeny Primakov) had to go. And so he was dismissed . . . until Yeltsin finally found a man America would approve of. That man . . . Vladimir Putin.

Bill Clinton to Tony Blair, 1998: “The first thing we have to do is get Chernomyrdin confirmed [as Russia’s Prime Minister]. I will see what I can do over there and work like hell to influence the Russian parliament!”

Why the US-Russia Relationship Went Sour After the 1990s

America can't seem to understand why Putin has a 70 percent approval rating. MUST BE FAKE, they claim. Russians simply remember where they WERE when an American puppet was leading their country, and they appreciate the long, painful climb back to some kind of decent life:

 

This is what I picture YF looking like:

 

I hope France makes sure there’s no poison on the trophy after Putin handles it.

 

It's crystal clear on the video that Acosta is well in the middle of asking his question before Fucko diverts to Roberts.

You can say that Acosta began asking a question before being called on, but that's all it was. Trump then dodged Acosta.

It's pretty funny when you say the TV is lying.

 

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” --House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, June 2016

 

If Il Douche can say an audio recorded interview with him is fake news than YF is going to follow the lead of his dear leader

 

JFC. That's just not close to what happened.

He calls on Roberts before you hear a single peep out of Acosta, and the person passing the mic around gives it to Roberts.

Not, that it should matter. He was calling on reporters. He acknowledged Roberts, not Acosta. That Roberts had been called on before Acosta pulled his act only makes it worse.
