The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 17 - Politics and Economics

at the cia, in front of the memorial for the people that gave their lives for this country, trump said that 250k people in the dc mall wasn't bad. he's hedging his bets because he believes the 250k number, in case this all blows up and he has to go back, he can still say he always thought 250k was a fantastic number. this is just a test of the trump destabilization system. this is only a test.

Like, holy ****, man. You won, we know. Nobody gives a **** about how many people did or did not attend your ceremony. **** the haters and go do something productive, please.

Sorry, my bad.

Hey man, on the plus side, your money to Hillary's campaign probably had a bigger positive effect than your vote's negative effect.

I refuse to let a single one of these statements go un-loled-at unless and until we actually see the Senate or House stop something Trump does. Thus far, there are zero indications they have any interest in doing so.

The fate of the free world rests with John McCain and Lindsay Graham.

The only way anyone in congress will ever start standing up to trump is if they realize that supporting trump is politically untenable. If their constitutes make them realize their reelection is in question, that's only when they'll pay attention.

Someone please embed that tweet if it didn't come up.

EDIT: Ehh.. to be fair to Trump, the black guy puts that pole in his right hand and walks past him.

I think it probably gets quietly buried in Committee. Foreign Affairs is chaired by Ed Royce, who is relatively sane.

This Alabama guy btw has done this before (submit a bill to leave the UN). I doubt most of the party is on board with it.

Go read Breitbart's comments section. Yes, any random article. We're well past the point of that being the target audience.

Report the lie. Ignore it. Move on. I did like Todd's laugh though. I'd like to try Michael Moore's strategy. Make fun of him, instead of arguing. He hates being laughed at more than anything.

Conway threatened to cut access when this happened. 'Alternative facts' is overshadowing this part of that interview.

This, bigly. That's what Todd should have made hay over.

Yeah, I'm grunching a bit so I don't know if this thread went HAM in the past 150 posts but that part is the scary part.

And it was right at the front end. It's not like Conway got fed up and flustered and lashed out after getting clowned. It was a prepared salvo for the 1st time she heard something she perceived as objectionable.
