This is for those of you who have questioned what President Trump has accomplished in less than a month in office.

Also, notice how he tears apart the dishonest media.

We are at a historical context like...

'things persons have said before people did atrocity for them'

Satire doesn't do it justice. I must be told just about like that.

Youtubes are not a valid news source.

Mongo is a person who hears lines like "we had a very smooth rollout of the travel ban" and "this administration is running like a fine-tuned machine" in that press conference and nods his head like "yeah I don't get what everyone else is talking about, this dude really spits the truth"

I will take a youtube video that is either a first hand source of video information or a nuanced analysis over a twitter hot take or worse yet a TweetStorm! any day.

*edit* not directed at you Goofy, as the majority of your tweets include links to whatever news stories, just commenting on the general worthlessness of Twitter Politics and pointing out that of course youtube can be a valid media source.

^ this is correct, but at the same time it's rare that what's articulated in a Youtube video can't be better articulated via an article.

And mongo's post was of course nonsensical garbage - "hey all you people who think Trump hasn't done anything, I'm gonna prove you wrong! Just click and watch this video of Trump's 77 minute press conference that the news has already been covering for the past day, surely somewhere in the mess of incoherent rambling you'll find evidence that Trump...has...done stuff!"

I can also agree stuff has been done, and also not done. It's the stuff that has been done which is actually news to be reported as done. You can't fake report stuff which has actually been done if what actually has been done is what you are reporting. Stuff which wasn't done can also be treated similarly.

It's like republicans who did stuff or didn't do stuff getting mad about being reported as republicans who did or didn't do stuff. Why did you do or not do the stuff if you don't want it reported as news?

Cliffs: Fake fake news is actual news.

The so-called "shadow government" of the State Department has been fired.

Keep throwing your little stones. I'm on the side with the heavy equipment. I'm on the winning side.

I'm grateful that we are nominating great conservatives for the SCOTUS, buliding the wall, kicking out illegal immigrants, building up the military, getting rid of sanctuary cities, promoting school choice, allowing only quality people to enter this country...etc etc.

We are finally gonna get our values and morales back. This country has turned into complete trash the last eight years. This isn't a third world country. This is the United States of America. We are going to support our police and live under law and order.

I wouldn't say"obviously" because Trump's position on many things is unclear.

We'll have to see but actually arguably relations with Israel are already improved. His meeting with the Japanese and UK Prime Minister's seemed to go well. His meeting with Trudeau seemed to come off pretty well too. You could be right but he doesn't seem to be doing poorly with USA allies.

He had problems with Australia, of all places. He flubbed the one-China policy for no reason whatsoever. He either didn't know or didn't care that Russia invaded Ukraine. He pissed off a friendly Iraq with his Muslim ban, screwing over a lot of people who helped the US in the conflict there. We're not even at the one month mark yet.

Quote:

Obviously not regarding Pence. Pence is clearly to the right of TRUMP on social issues. Pence is also clearly more hawkish on foreign policy. Google is your friend if you don't believe that.

Those things aren't clear at all. Trump has repeatedly talked about taking Iraq's oil. He's contradicted himself over and over, so pretending you know where he stands is ridiculous.

This kind of attitude is a carbon copy from 50 years ago of those who fought against civil rights. In fact, given your mannerisms and how you post, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you were alive then and which side you fell on when black people started sitting at the wrong lunch counters.

One thing should be clear to the folks on the left for sure, Pence is totally opposed to Roe v. Wade and as POTUS there should be no doubt that he would make it a priority to niminate pro life judges. Pence gave a speech in Europe today. You may want to check it out. Also regarding a climate change agenda, Pence is completely opposed to that agenda.

Those things aren't clear at all. Trump has repeatedly talked about taking Iraq's oil. He's contradicted himself over and over, so pretending you know where he stands is ridiculous.

So you are unclear on where TRUMP stands on a lot of issues but you want want to eliminate "TRUMPism" (whatever that is), got it.

Yes. Many thousands of people outside waiting to get in apparently.

It's going to be huge.

But of course he's not popular, right?

Citing "many thousands" of attendees and overflow in a state of 20 million as proof of popularity over the evidence provided by nationwide polls?

Really destroying the stereotype of dumb anti-intellectual Trumpkins there, Sushy!

The guy Trump picked to lead the EPA used a private email for state business as Oklahoma's AG. I thought that's a big no-no? Can Trumpkins help me out with this one?
