Oh look another point where we all think the Trump dam is finally breaking and this is the beginning of the end. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the thread hivemind will be wrong just a hunch based on the last oh 100 or so similar predictions I've seen here. I mean I hope you are right but the delusion here is unfortunately a mirror image of breitbart. At least it's hoping for good things to happen but it is still delusion none the less. You always know it's extra bad when Clovis is making essentially the same post he always does every 10 posts for pages.

It's not hyperbole, he is the woat. Someone please make an argument for a worse president.

He hasn't done the worse things, like start huge wars for no reason, but does anyone think it's anything more than time which has prevented this?

Name a worse cabinet?
Name a worse first month?
Name a president less competent in the basic business of governing?
Name a president with a more lothesome inner circle?
Name a president with more international security risk?

Somehow I imagine that this won't be the case here, almost imagine some want the country to fail so your team can win the next round.
It's incredible that you have moved onto feeling persecuted over the echo chamber's hypothetical failure to approve of a candidate about whom you know almost nothing who hasn't even been officially selected for the job. Triggered maybe?

I was one of those who made that mistake but normal people either use the quote function or cite the source so people know it's a quote.

He was posting unattributed Breitbart comments. It was definitely trolling and it was hilarious.

So I guess cherish the toughness of Trump on his staff if you want. But the choice of resignation vs firing would not sit well with me if I were a Trumpkin.
If you think about it, the much better look for Trump is that he directed Flynn to talk to the Russians. That's obviously kind of gross for a lot of reasons, but if Flynn's disclosures to the Russians were unauthorized, that means he was basically a literal spy at the top of the national security organization AND Trump knew about it and did nothing until he was forced to. (And he let Flynn resign rather than having him arrested as well.)

Only quoting this bit of garbage because the rest of your garbage is too lolworthy to bother with, but...wat? If he truly doesn't have a ****ing clue wth he is doing then perhaps he should have spend the time between election and inauguration days, idk, LEARNING SOMETHING ABOUT THE ****ING JOB? Butnahhh, let's have a goddamn victory tour and an extra month of campaigning for no ****ing reason.

The lengths you slappies will go to in order to defend what is, in the most charitable evaluation possible, GROSS incompetence is truly staggering. People like you are why people like me will never, ever vote for another Republican for as long as we live. Your judgment simply cannot be trusted.

There was no clue for people not familiar with noze and it was not obvious he was quoting.

The stock market is a massive bubble at this point. Eventually Wall St will figure out that there's more going on than corporate tax cuts and deregulation.

lol "overheating" lol ardwall

I mean it should be telling that the ONLY defense that can plausibly be offered by these ****ing clowns is, "Well, he really doesn't know what he's doing he's just a businessman after all."

When of course that was suppose to be his biggest virtue for his stupid supporters.

For God's sake, woat means Worst. Of. All. Time.

You have to wait Clovis. You just have to wait. You can't start declaring from on high he is the woat after 21 days. Because by any definition he is not the worst President of all time.

Brett Favre's first pass of his career was a pick-six. I'm sure there was a Clovis in the stands saying he was the woat.

You gotta ****ing wait. Sorry.

No, he's on the verge of doing what Republicans do every time they are backed into a corner: blame liberals. All Trump wanted to do was MAGA by scapegoating immigrants and Muslims and defying the judiciary but those snarky, coastal elite liberals just wouldn't let him!

What do you think "overheated" means. It means the stock market in aggregate is too high to support that valuation relative to it's earnings.

So far Trump has thrown a pick six, torn his ACL trying to make the tackle, and then stumbled into the coach and put him into a coma trying to walk off the field, all about 2 minutes into the first quarter. Also best case scenario is that his team goes like 2-14 while charging triple for season tickets and worst case is burning the stadium to the ground with all the spectators still inside.

yea, but when the source is someone with a posting history you have their history to fall back on

maybe, but I don't think he was really trolling people as much as posting them here for amusement.

well, its not clear if SNL is serious or not either if you're not familiar with SNL. Same with Kelly Anne Conway when she is spouting her nonsense. There is some responsibility on individuals to discern real vs. fake, intent, and any biases or motivations for distributing information in today's environment. We should all strive to understand this through all forms of media whether it be this thread, twitter, online articles, the (fake) news, or any other medium.

pretty sure Favre didn't spend all of training camp traveling from college to college bragging about how he beat Alabama AND Auburn last year instead of getting ready for the upcoming season
