I'm not against any broadcasting of Trump ****ing up, but what's going to happen? Lindsey Graham will rescue us?

The GOP will dump Trump when his popularity goes to hell. Who knows what will cause that? Or if anything ever will ?

meanwhile, in USSR 2.0 ...

Didn't golden shower dossier guy get whacked too?

Trump's domestic policy is stellar when compared to his foreign policy.

Spicer gonna keep it short. Wonder why. Will there be time for a skype question from JimBob in rural Mississippi?

The Johnson Amendment is a provision in the U.S. tax code which prohibits all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

(trump looking to nix it per spicer briefing)

Agreed. And the take from my conservative / moderate FB friends was not about how the soldier got killed, or that an 8 year old girl died. Instead, they were proud that Trump took time out of his busy schedule to go meet the body at Dover AFB. Actual quote, "I don't agree with everthing he does, but at least he respects the troops."

MAYBE it's possible to break up that narrative if you could show that a particular mission was really botched, but it seems like a big lift.

John quotes. Yeah, sure. lol

My post on the last page to Trolly is pretty much the summary of my thoughts on this.

The value in pressing your message doesn't go away because the other side controls the Hill. Trump's popularity is low as ****. That means that the number of people that are willing to internalize the narratives pushed by Dems is high. How exactly that manifests down the road isn't easy to predict, but that's not a reason not to push your narrative.

Political parties reward loyalty over competence. And the billions of dollars things has the disadvantage that you depend on a millionare that can easily have sub optimal political nous. You would be surprised at how clueless people with important positions are.

Sean Spicer can sure spin bull****.

I'd love to compare Spicer's summary of what Trump said at the Prayer Breakfast to what Trump actually said.

2p2 should request a skype seat

These questions are weak sauce.

This

Spencer going to get chastised for acknowledging there is a line between religious freedom and discrimination.

Spicer vaguely advocating shop owners not serving LBGT.

EDIT: Okay, now it's not so vague

Alright after ****ting on her yesterday, I'll give credit to Pelosi for straight up calling Bannon a white supremacist.

Gotta protect the border to stop homegrown terrorists. That was seriously his answer.

EXTREEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE VETTTTTTTTTTIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGG

Yeah, Trumpkins are not ever leaving him. They would follow into the pits of hell - who cares? They are not the intended recipients of the message, just like most on this board are not intended recipients of the R message. Lost cause. We need to think about the broader population.

We cant have simultaneous narratives of omg HRC such a bad candidate/campaign and also Trump is beloved by all, nothing we can do about it. There are a lot of ppl who took the overwhelming amount of negativity in the election as a sign that the system was just broken and voted for the outsider.

Right now these people are likely somewhere in the range of "omg what have I done" to "it's really early and I want to give him a chance" to "well he may make some rookie mistakes, but he is certainly tough" etc etc. The idea is to get through to them, and the way you do that is going to vary from person to person. For some (many) of this group, military incompetence is a big deal.

Did he just say "We aren't a threat to the US"? lol

That Russia answer sounded like a 100% lie.

Man Spicer knows that this strike went to **** and his blame-shifting desperately

Clearly. The whole treasury thing stunk of ****.

Lol 27 minute briefing

Trump passing the buck to Obama on the military mission. WEAK leader!
