POTUS 45.23 - Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

Re: POTUS 45.23 - Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

Are you guys reading the same thing I am? I think Brent has a point about some of this. I can't agree on all the nuances but I think he is arguing more on the principle of the thing more than defending tRump. Attacking anyone who brings up a point that might not agree that everything is black and white is something the blind followers do. I thought we were having a nice discussion. Hoven- I must be doing this wrong. You suck, you should just agree with everything I say!

Kepler read me wrong and apologized. He cool. Rufus is going the Scooby route for now.

Laughter at Dump's foolishness isn't laughter at Dump. It's pointing out that his moron voters still support him even considering all his moral dreck and stupidity.

Each Dump tweet combined with his plateaued support is proof that a third of this country and 2/3rds of the Republican party are moral and mental cripples.

We're not making fun of him.

We're making fun of you.

Sure sounds like one of them, doesn't he? But he'll strongly argue that he isn't, while arguing at the same time that the media should stop picking on Trumpy.

JFC, Trump could be beeching about a robin hogging a tree branch in his yard and if people don't ridicule it, they are Trumpists. That's as insane as the actual Trumpists. For real.

Read what I said: the TRIVIAL things, like a magazine cover.....not the serious stuff. Maybe you ARE Scooby.

Re: POTUS 45.23 - Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

I never said that, Scooby. Oh, sorry rufus.

Well you certainly didn't have a problem with the media going on and on ad nauseaum about it. But for some reason, it bothers you that they do so regarding Trumpy. Even though you're not one of his supporters/apologists.

We know, because you tell us so.

I thought you were one of his apologists. Sorry.

Instead, we should be looking into the real scandals of the day like BENGHAZI!!!!!

Mention it, but don't go on and on ad nauseaum. That's all.

No worries. When he spouts off about serious stuff, yeah, report it, pay attention, point it out. But who the hell cares about a Time cover tweet? Really?

Whoa whoa whoa. I am NOT one of "them." Let me make that clear.

Again, mention it, but one doesn't need to analyze everything he says for hours (or days) on end, IF it's a trivial thing, like the Time cover.

Trump and his followers are just reaping what they already sowed. He has built his platform on the ridiculous and the trivial. Besides, trivial coverage can be ignored just as easily as trivial events.

Re: POTUS 45.23 - Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

He's POTUS. Everything he says, is news. Stop trying to argue that it's wrong to point out that he is a complete looney toon on almost every subject, trivial or otherwise. Claiming he turned down Time Person of the Year, when such an offer was never even made, is not Presidential behavior. He's aggrandizing himself because he is a narcissist who always has to be in control/"winning"/whatever you want to call it, even when he's clearly not. He's getting very scared about Flynn flipping, it's quite obvious.

EDIT: I agree, BBC is great.

Re: POTUS 45.23 - Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

That is why I specified stuff like the Time cover. That's not news. The NK stuff, the border stuff, etc, that's news when he spouts off.

No, it is news. It is not normal for someone to do that. Not even close. If you were to start doing things like that at work, carrying on to the detriment of doing your real job, it would be an issue. It should be for a President too. It should be reported but in a factual way- the President claimed to have been approached by Time Magazine to be Man of the Year in a tweet and has tweeted multiples times in the last 24 hours on the subject. This has been denied/refuted by multiple sources within the magazine publicly. it is unknown why he would tweet something of this nature. And moving on.... The President has moved to do X with NK. His Secretary of State has given contradictory statements....
