POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

A pair of Gary Kasparov tweets nailed yesterday's hateful and lie-laced Trumpian tactic perfectly:

Autocratic Distraction: "Who do my supporters hate? Who can I get them to hate? How can I make the hated targets angry so they lash out?"

"The autocrat always requires enemies to protect his base from. If real enemies don’t exist, they will be created. Minorities preferred."

Woo boy. I'm inclined to think this is a tabloid article, but nothing seems to be impossible with "The Mooch!" He's the son Donald wishes he had. ;)

When the actions of some people in this administration make Priebus and Bannon look like the good guys, you know it's bad.

Also, Trump is solidly at the bottom of the worst presidents (As if that was a surprise,) right beneath a guy who resigned in disgrace and a guy who virtually didn't serve his month in office.

I give Harrison a pass. You can't actually rank him. He's N/A

ETA: Yes I know you're making a joke
 
Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

Scaramuchi was so unhinged in this interview, he almost makes Donald sound sane.
Maybe that's the idea.

Oh my god. I just read the New Yorker article. I'm not actually sure if it's satire or not.

Where was the interview? Or were you referring to the article?

The article. It's not satire. Also not an interview, he was just ranting at the reporter.
I wonder if bannon is laughing

My absolute favorite part was when he tried to use the "Patriot" angle with a reporter at The New Yorker. I just about died laughing at that.

I can't even imagine what the thought process was for him to use that line with them. He's been a willing participant of the ouroborotic human centipede of hate and ignorance at Fox for far too long.

So Trump banned Trans from the military without telling the military...always a good plan!
 
Re: POTUS 45.14 - No Confusion, It's Collusion!

I feel absolutely awful for those caught up in the middle of this **** show. What's sad is that WCCO did a great story a week or so ago about transgender Minnesotans in the military.

I'm thinking this is the first time I can remember where I would actively advise against a young adult joining the military. Not until the insane person leaves the Oval Office.

Yesterday's news but the ending was good.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/07/27/boy_scouts_apologize_for_trump_s_speech.html

On Thursday, Boy Scouts of America CEO Michael Surbaugh apologized for Trump's bad speech in a statement:

We know the past few days have been overshadowed by the remarks offered by the President of the United States. I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the [J]amboree ... We sincerely regret that politics were inserted into the Scouting program.

Slate also extends its sincere apologies to those in the Slate family who were offended ... offended that we did not work the phrase sex yacht into the headline of this post.

That is what you call a non-apology "apology". Anyone with even half a brain can see that Dump usually becomes unhinged when you give him a mic, and yet they extended their usual invite anyway. The real reason for that being that most, if not all, of the BSA leadership (as well as a large percentage of Eagle scouts and troop leaders) vote a straight GOP ticket, and they wouldn't want to offend their buddies in office, or the top brass over at the RNC.

They violated the "bravery" part of the oath by not refusing to take part in this charade to begin with.

Has anyone heard from a credible source that he discussed this decision with even one general?

Nope. He didn't. Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied about it in her first press conference as the actual Press Secretary. Amazing, isn't it?

Oh, by the way, the military spends more money on Viagara alone then anything to do with Transgender medical issues. But, Planned Parenthood funding cuts were in the "skinny repeal" that failed last night.

These people are devoid of any compassion for anyone.

Not true. Plenty of compassion for old white men with erectile dysfunction.
