Posted: 02/16/17 1:39 pm ::: Alternate Facts from Trump |
Reply |
|
In the Trump press conference this afternoon, Trump claims his electoral college victory was the yugest since Ronald Reagon's. A reporter calls him out on this, and his repose was "Oh, I was given that information." He relies so much on people not fact checking.

That is because there are two types of information in Trump World. Stuff he likes and that feeds his narcissism, and Fake News.

Listening to Maxine Waters blather away on CNN, the sad truth is that the over-the-top conspiracy theories by the wacko fringe Dems are just as ridiculous as the bullshit coming out of the White House.
Trump has a point when he says this is about some people trying to excuse and "relitigate" Clinton's fiasco of a campaign. That doesn't excuse him, but that plainly is what's going on with the total obsession over Russia manifested by some elements of the left.
I still haven't heard a single thing that actually appears to matter in the big picture, either in terms of the election or US security or interests. It looks like another big "gotcha" sideshow.
I'll continue to laugh at the administration's discomforture, and the assinine claims they continue to make, but maybe we should move on to something that matters.
This afternoon was "campaign Trump", which is pretty embarrassing when it's coming from President Trump, not Candidate Trump.
I'm more concerned with today's relaxation of coal rules than I am about some supposed Trump-Putin conspiracy.
Unfortunately I'm afraid that the Russia hysteria will distract attention from stuff that really matters.

Deflect, deflect, deflect, snort, sniffle, snort, sniffle, deflect, bigoted comment, bigoted comment, deflect, deflect, Hilary, Obama, I won the electoral college, deflect, deflect...
I mean...I didn't even have to watch this trash conference to know the script.
And I get that journalists need to keep pressing him, but I'm tired of them entertaining this bigoted idiot. Like you know what dumb ass offensive answers he's gonna give...They need to be slapping handcuffs on his tiny wrists and trying his orange ass for treason. Wake me when that happens.

President Trump handled those questions extremely well. The left is clearly unhinged because they've never felt disrespected before. You can tell by all their reactions (their stories in the news) that they're angry and are hellbent on undermining this administration.
I'm beginning to wonder what will happen if President Trump actually committed something impeachable. The way his opponents shoot their wad over everything... even if it's nothing (like the Russians hacked the election nonsense and the President tied to Russia). He could commit a crime, or do something bad enough, and people would probably just ignore it because the fringe just keeps crying wolf over fake news stories.

I think your bias against Clinton is clouding your judgement here. There has been plenty of information released.
Clinton did some things wrong, but she wasn't dealt a fair hand either. That's irrelevant to connections our President has with a foreign power.

Psychologists can do that, convince someone to change their mind on semi-enforcement of immigration laws and start liking job export?

"Plenty of information" about what?
It's all just huffing and puffing and phony indignation, and in the end amounts to nothing.

With the above amount of non-reality so prevalent, I truly believe the country is fucked for good.

Isn't everything that comes out of his mouth an alternate fact?
That's pretty much what I go with.

I still don't understand his supporters taking his side about what happened in that segment.

It's because those of us who support him have the same dissent for the media as he does.
Whenever the fringe element of the left gets upset about something President Trump does, it's usually a good indicator that something good has happened to our country. The left only celebrates when bad things happen when the sitting President is Republican. For example, the celebratory death count of our soldiers in Iraq on CNN under President Bush.

Some people don't like it when American soldiers are sent to be killed under false pretenses. They like it even less when nothing is gained from the incursion.

Yes, of course. And I remember all the parties right after 9-11.
I get it....being as delusional as Donald himself helps one's appreciation of Donald himself.
