President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Given the grasp of mathematics he showed in the "Mexico is paying for the wall" tweet, are we sure he didn't count the crowd?

 

Never responsible party.

 

I'm pretty sure your general meth head, not to mention an actual General, knows lying to the cops is going to get you in deeper than you already are.

 

I know one DC resident who's gonna get one of these this Christmas.

 

Waiting for trump to deny christie was on the list.

 

Let's talk about disinformation, shall we?

WHAT WE HEARD

Vice-president Al Gore, 1998:
"Optimism prevails universally among those who are familiar with what is going on in Russia.''

Journalist David Remnick, 1997:
''The Russian prospect over the coming years and decades is more promising than ever before in its history.''

Michael McFaul, 1999 (U.S. ambassador to Russia, 2012-14)
''Russia is a dramatically different place than it was 10 years ago . . . and just seven years into this transition, basic arrows on all the big issues are pointing in the right direction.''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON?

United Nations development program, 1999:
''A human crisis of monumental proportions is emerging in the former Soviet Union.''

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 1999:
''As a result of the Yeltsin era, all the fundamental sectors of our state, economic, cultural and moral life have been destroyed or looted. We live literally amid ruins, but we pretend to have a normal life. . . . We heard that great reforms were being carried out in our country. They were false reforms because they left more than half our country's people in poverty. Will we continue looting and destroying Russia until nothing is left?''


Failed Crusade

I find it interesting that . . .

When Russia was arguably at its peak WRT prosperity, world influence and scientific achievements (1965 or so), the American government and American media were boasting about how AWFUL it was over there.

When Russia was at the depths of its post WWII misery (1998-99), the American government and American media were boasting about how WONDERFUL it was over there.

 

Republicans everywhere just got wood and know not why.

So where was Goo wrong?

 

That's a terrible insult to all wonderful Russians.

Trump is America. Greedy, brash, gluttonous, ostentatious, self-promoting, self-aggrandizing.

Not "wrong'' per se. Just incomplete. By implying that disinformation is the sole provenance of Russia/Soviet Union

 

But not in the good way

 

Just flipped by lou dobbs show. Talking about the "global elites posing as radical dems" (clips of people on cnn saying money should not go to the wall) Best part...he ends the segment saying "we will take that up with"---get this---"diamond and silk".

Lol

 

"A person close to Christie said a number of current and former White House aides warned Christie that the building was unmanageable and that “no one can have success there.”
