Re: POTUS Elect Trump II: We Are So Totally F%*#ed
Of course the difference is the talking heads eight years ago were making shiat up, while the talking heads today are quoting Trump directly. Now you can choose not to believe a thing Trump says, but stop acting like the talking heads are all talking out of their asses. One group's commentary was based on truthiness, the other is at least grounded in reality.
The fact that you either don't understand that difference or choose to ignore it makes you either willfully ignorant or maliciously obtuse
No, a wise man who used to post here (PCM), taught me that anybody can
say anything.
Back when it was President-elect Obama, the righty pundits were talking by extension (he mentioned Australia, he's comin' fur ur gunz!); now, Trump's saying stuff himself. OK, you bet; I fully acknowledge that point.
But, many of you right here, all election cycle long, said Trump is nothing but a school yard bully. A bully yaps a lot but does nothing (the equivalent of a hockey chirper). And so far, he's done nothing. Yes, tDon has so far
done ... nothing. Until that changes, he's a lot of yap. As our Texas friends would say, Trump's all hat, no cattle. The most dangerous thing he's done so far is .... tweet. < gasp > Tweet. Yes, tweet a few unveiled threats about tariffs toward a couple companies*. How do you deal with that? Same way you deal with a bully: ignore him.
So, to the point, what is it: Trump is a bunch of hot air coming out of nothing more than a school yard bully or a maniacal, despotic tyrant.
And as far as the media talking heads: The righties? Well, as I've said, I still have my firearms. They're agendaists trying to separate people from donations. The lefties? They parroted for the last year it would be President Hillary Clinton. And they too are looking for donations from true believers. Credibility factor on either group ain't that high. I'm not listening to either. Just like I'm not listening to Trump.
As I said, the most dangerous man right now is actually ... Mike Pence. He's in Washington knowing how it works, and doing things, and those things are not fully out in the light of day.
*He can threaten, scratch that,
bully all he wants. Congress has to pass the law.
