President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Ivanky picked up some new ooh-lah-lah lingerie in Paris, and she'll be modeling it all day for Daddy.

Plus the double tractor-trailer semi shipments from McDonalds backed up all weekend while he was gone, and Fucko has a couple thousand Big Macs to gobble through.

 

Exactly.

 

Ugh, I hate that I know this, but he was an arms dealer...hence the name War Bucks.

 

Yowzers!

 

Romney: Trump is wrong to vilify the press.
It's not the enemy, it's critical to democracy.

At one of my recent campaign events I was asked whether I would, “take action to shut down ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and the New York Times.” When I responded “of course not,” and that, in fact, I would do everything in my power to preserve freedom of speech, the person persisted by arguing that these outlets purvey fake news. I found this deeply disturbing. How different from when I was growing up; no one then would seriously consider stifling the free press for publishing the news and opinion as they saw fit.

My questioner, however, did raise a valid point: isn’t the media biased? Of course it is. Humans are biased and the media is populated by humans. The founders knew that the media would be biased; because humans are involved, there is no other way. We can and should call for accuracy and responsibility in reporting from every member of the press. But a free press, even if biased, was guaranteed in our Constitution because it is critical to the preservation of the Republic.

I sometimes become irritated by stories I know are wrong, especially when they are about me. But I cannot conceive of thinking or saying that the media or any responsible news organization is an enemy. The media is essential to our Republic, to our freedom, to the cause of freedom abroad, and to our national security. It is very much our friend.

Wait until Mueller gets hold of the House Intel Comm testimony that the R's blocked releasing. There is no telling how many instances of perjury are in it.

 

So, no visit to Arlington?

 

Trump goes to Europe and pisses all over our oldest allies as well as NATO. Euros conclude that while American military and diplomatic support is a wonderful thing, it has become unreliable and there is no guarantee when/if it will be again. Euros talk about a joint Euro army and taking a more hands-on defensive stance.

That seems positive to me. Law of unintended consequences.

 

No movements is the whole story.

 

It's Lunchtime!!
