wait, what? I've been so focused on being anti-trump for who he is as a person, I didn't even realize this.
**** **** ****

Like Breitbart's Black Crime Column, but the White House's own weekly version. Repulsive.

Full on banana republic.

Lashing out, vengeful, uninformed, blaming everyone but himself. Probably while patting his own back for reacting so soon.

Trump now has liberals arguing to expand the Muslim bans, impressive. 4-D chess!

how long until the cia terminates trump ?

Man, I wish it was just being a Banana republic. This is step one of an ethnic cleansing campaign.

ummm, all of them. just take it from "entitlements." that would actually be preferable to them. they love to make poor ppl suffer.

Trump can't even predict it. It's a scary thought.

Am I reading correctly that Trump just said he might not repeal Obamacare just to try and pin it on the Dems?

hahahhahahahhahaha

This is one of the few areas where I think Trump is correct. Repeal and replace means the GOP owns it. And they don't want that. Healthcare can crash and burn much worse than it is under Obamacare. I think Republicans are much more comfortable whining about the evils of Obamacare than actually trying to come up with something better.

The greyhound finally caught the rabbit and doesn't know wtf to do next

That doesn't work. They said they are going to replace it hundreds of times over the past 8 years. They can pussy out but they cant cry anymore. They are in power now.

If Rs try to pass something and Ds filibuster it then maybe this strategy will work. But logically, I don't see how saying there is an impending disaster but I chose to do nothing about it for two years when I held all the power because "I didn't cause the problem" flies. That's crazy.

OTOH, logic has nothing to do with politics and Rs blatant attempt to steal a Supreme Court seat was rewarded with literally everything so who knows.

Savage. Laughed so hard.

lol you think???

If they had a viable replacement plan we'd have heard all about it during one of the THREE election cycles we've had since they vowed to repeal it at all costs

“We have agreed to cancel our planned meeting,” Mr. Trump said in a new conference Thursday afternoon. “Unless Mexico is going to treat the U.S. fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless, and I want to go a different route. We have no choice.”

I have a feeling we're gonna hear trump declare that "We have no choice." again

Nice.

So you really do have zero clue about anything.

Lol at you putting the over under at 404 billion dollars for a wall. If only there were modern analogues we could look at; oh well, I guess were just stuck drawing inspiration from >2 millenia old dynasties. Glad you were here to steer us in the right direction!!

Oh noes...'rough' terrain! Thanks for the laugh!

TACTICS FOR EFFECTIVE CONSERVATIVE BLOGGING By Karl Rove

Engage

Demand an elaborate, time-consuming comparison / analysis between your position and theirs.

Entangle

Insist that the Liberal put their posts in their own words. That will consume the most time and effort for the Liberal poster

They will be unable to spread numerous points on numerous blogs if you have them occupied. Allowing a Liberal to post a web link is too quick and efficient for them. Tie them up. We are going for delay of game here. Demoralize Dismiss their narrative as rubbish immediately.

Do not even read it. Once the Liberal goes through the trouble to research, gather, collate, compose and write their narrative your job is to discredit it. Make it obvious you tossed their labor-intensive narrative aside like garbage. This will have the effect of demoralizing the Liberal poster.

It will make them unwilling to expend the effort again, and for us, that is a net win


Attack

Attack the source. Any Liberal website or information source must be marginalized, trivialized and discounted. Let the blogosphere know that Truthout.org, thinkprogress.org,
the nation and moveon.org are Liberal rubbish propaganda. Discredit Liberal sources of information whenever possible.

Confuse

Challenge the Liberal position with questions, always questions. The questions need not be relevant. The goal is to knock the Liberal poster off their game, and seize control of the narrative

Once you have control you can direct the narrative to where you want it to go, which is always away from letting the Liberal make their point. Conversely, do not respond to their leading questions. Don't rise to their bait. Contain Your job is to prevent the presentation and spread of Liberal viewpoints.

Do anything you must do to prevent a Liberal poster from presenting a well-reasoned argument or starting a civil discussion.

Don't allow a Liberal to present their dogma unchallenged EVER. Intimidate Taunt the Liberals.

If you find yourself in a debate with a Liberal where you are losing a fact-based argument
then call them a name to derail their diatribe. Remember your goal is toprevent a meaningful exchange of views and ideas which may portray Liberalism in a positive light.

Your goal as a conservative blogger is to stop the spread and advance of the Liberal agenda. Play upon any identifiable idiosyncrasies, character flaws, physical traits, names, to their disadvantage


Monitor

other posts for vulnerabilities you can exploit. Stay on the offensive with Liberal wimps. Don't let up. Insult their Movement Assign as many character and moral flaws toLiberals as you can. You must portray Liberals as weak, vacillating, indecisive, amoral, baby killers, unpatriotic, effete snobs, elitists, Leftists, Commies, sense of entitlement, promiscuous, union lovers, tax raisers, Welfare Queens, Socialists, lazy, sex-obsessed, druggies, Jesus haters, moochers, troop hater,.etc. Always use these negative epithets when referring to, or describing Liberals / democrats.


Deceive

Identify yourself as a moderate, centrist or independent. It will also cause Liberals to lower their guard a bit, which gives you an effective opening. This may also have the effect of aligning conservative viewpoints with the real moderates we are attempting to reach.

It may serve to influence some moderates over to the Republican side. Patriotism Always claim the high ground of pro-military, low taxes, strong defense, morality and religion. We own those virtues. Learn how to exploit them when debating


Demean

Always refer to the other side as Liberals, Lefty Liberals, Libbies. Never assign them the status of a bona-fide political party. Hang Liberalism around their neck like a burning tire. Make Liberalism appear as a moral turpitude or a character flaw. They are NEVER, NEVER to be referred to as the Democratic Party. At best it is the democrat party. Never assign them respect


Opportunity

Be alert for ways to insert our catch phrases into your narrative. You will receive your daily list of talking points and topics that we want you to cover. Consistent, persistent repetition and inculcation will drive our talking points home and so will neuro-linguistic programming. Stick with it and our talking points will become truth. If they debunk your talking point, ignore it, and move on as if you didn't hear it.

So he's just ****ing firing everyone?

In my quest of getting a little bit less ignorant, I have to ask, what are the best news sites that report and have even a little bit of unbiased and actual news?

There's no one best source, and there's no such thing as being unbiased, but that's not to equate a bias with alternative facts.

draining the swamp?

I usually look at European sites who report on US new first since they're not as invested in our politics.

This is phenomenal. Some serious heat.
