There's a bit of smoke. Not sure if you have kept up with the news...

Snarky reply from Frowny in 5... 4... 3... 2....

You can smoke my gun, if you nomsayin.

You thought you'd get snark from Frownland, but YOU ACTUALLY GOT IT FROM ORI! HAHAHAHAHA!

Refreshing! Kinda like taking a long hot shower after spending months all dirty and funky.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

:tramp:

:cool:

Still far from enough to be a sure thing. Like I've said about 10000 times pertaining to the Russian investigation, I'll reserve my thoughts until Mueller publishes his report in two years. Every development in this story is touted as if it's footage of Trump and Putin doing lines of coke while discussing how to assassinate Hillary, and I find that rather disingenuous.

Absolutely not. Would you not be tempted, if she were your daughter?
Yeah, that's right, and those big black unmarked helicopters that just appeared hovering outside your window are nothing to worry about...
More as a Nazi Nazi, I would say.
What? He's talking about a deep government probe into whether poetry was used to influence the election: inVERStigation.

Haven't we all?
You know what he meant...
We know what you meant.

Negative! :nono:

My own flesh and blood wouldn't be tempting no matter what she looks like.

:banghead:

Did anyone watch the Trump press conference just now? :yikes::yikes::yikes:

A 100% ad-libbing Trump in front of a throng of rabid reporters and he just couldn't help himself. So much for the teleprompter speech he gave on Monday. Ancient history.

At one point he went so far as to say that there were good people on both sides of what happened on Saturday. Then he defended the white supremacy side by saying "at least they had a permit - did the other side?"

And it went on and on and on. I seriously thought I was watching a movie. It was so surreal. Be sure to check out the news tonight. Wow.

This is Fox New's initial take:

Trump decries 'alt-left' in Charlottesville: 'Do they have any semblance of guilt?' | Fox News

Those bastards, getting run over by cars and stuff, the nerve!

I watch House of Cards because reality is too disturbing for me.

A few people on MB wanted to do that to BLM protesters and their wet dreams came true.

There are a couple of states that have passed legislation okaying it as well.

One of the most surreal moments was when Trump said "They pulled down a statue of General Lee. What's next, George Washington? He had slaves. How about Thomas Jefferson? You all like Jefferson, right? Well he had slaves. Should we pull down his statues?"

:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Washington died 66 years before slavery was abolished. Jefferson, 39 years.

Plus both guys didn't command troups to kill fellow Americans.

What a buffoon. His ignorance is unprecidented.

What a stupid thing for him to say. I just can't find the motivation to think his comments are anything to fret over.

You are an idiot then.

Most likely. I'm more concerned with actually addressing the problem instead of being mad that the person who holds a seat that I don't respect didn't condemn the problem well enough because condemnation is an empty action. Not to mention that I'm so used to him making moronic, off-the cuff remarks that it barely even registers with me anymore.

Or did he say something along the lines of cancelling the civil rights investigation because both sides were violent? Now that would piss me off.

Also note the OP. You can't call people idiots without telling them why.

He is normalizing terrorism against his own people and openly supporting the wrongdoers.

He is the most powerful man on this planet and he has unilateral authority to engage in nuclear war.

I'm scared, this isn't cool.

I'll show myself out. I don't have the patience to regularly engage in this thread. Low stamina! Sad!

The big issue here is the chair he sits in. Whether you respect the seat or not doesn't matter because it's not about any individual. The guy is the commander in chief of, and represents 300 million people. He's the leader of the free world. Our allies look to him to be strong. Our enemies look for cracks in his amour.

It must suck to condemn something only to be told that you openly support it because you also condemn something else. Honestly, I think that Trump just thinks that Southern whites are all racist and is trying to cater to them.


So we're gonna get invaded or what? What is the difference between now and the hours before he made the comment? Is this the nail in the coffin or just another piece of the bed?

:rofl:

Once the smoke clears I predict his approval dips down to 30%. The GOP house and senate are going to distance themselves from him like crazy. After what he said on Saturday, the scripted BS he said yesterday was starting to calm the storm. After today the country's in a category 5 hurricane.

China will watch this. Russia will watch this. North Korea will watch this. ISIS will watch this. And they will all laugh and realize that Trump is in the process of tearing the USA apart at the seams.

Have you watched it yet? Far and away the 2nd most insane and surreal political press conference I've ever seen. The 1st being Budd Dwyer of course

It's telling that David Duke immediately took to Twitter to gushingly thank Trump for what he said. Mark my word, this ****storm is not going away anytime soon and the fallout is going to be severe.

Did you see where Trump yesterday tweeted a cartoon of a train crashing into a person with a CNN bobble head? This just days after a neo-nazi crashed into a crowd and killed someone?

Those countries will likely be surprised by the bored hyperactive child that is the modern day news cycle. Drop in the bucket sure, but I don't see it tipping just yet.

Weirder yet is that it was an impromptu Q&A session. That's weird as **** for a president.

I give it a week. News stories don't last that long these days.

This is breaching new levels of my not caring. I bet he didn't even catch the connection tbh.

Have you seen it?

There's news stories, and then every now and then there's a NEWS story.

No matter what Trump has done in the past, he's had apologists. So far, hours after the fact, not a single GOP politician or member of Trump's staff are expressing anything but absolute shock.

Trump's going to go to bed tonight and pray that North Korea fires off a nuke. That's the only thing that could make this go away anytime soon.

Have you seen it?

Just saw a picture of the new Chief of Staff John Kelly standing behind Trump while he was ranting, and the guy looked like he wanted to bum rush Trump and pummel the guy.

Richard Spencer just tweeted: Thank you Mr. Trump for your honesty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Policy_Institute

I have seen it.

I am also conscious of how other unforgettable things he said were forgotten almost instantly. I guess time will tell how long until we forget about this because we're mad about the next thing.

John Kelly during the press conference. Any body language experts here? :rofl:

He said he was fixing inner cities. I'm like what how? It was such a throw away phrase for him. I wish the press picked up on it. They were too busy creaming their pants over him supporting the white nationalists because they had a permit.

He also mentioned that wages will go up because the economy is better. Uhh does he not know where all that extra profit goes, it certainly doesn't go to the low level workers. It is like he doesn't know how capitalism works.

Trump lives in the inner city. The only way to fix it is to kick him out.

.

He correctly assumes that most whites in every state are very racist. Whether they say it or not most white people want the most advantageous situation possible. They don't want to compete with other ethnic groups on a level playing field. They want the easiest win possible. It might seem like people give a **** but they don't.

Easy easy you'll give yourself away like that.

"I watched the news, I watched it, I watched it much more closely that you people did....." - The Donald.

Mitt Romney just released a statement that punched Trump right in the face.

Cue the goth jokes but we're all monsters.

That press conference was really nutty.

I do want America to dismantle and eradicate its hero worship of the "founding fathers"

Trump mentions Jefferson and Washington. I do not think either of them should be honored as great Americans. Washington was horribly cruel. Look at how he treated the troops at Valley Forge.

Like Washington, Jefferson owned slaves. Jefferson was also a rapist and supported the genocide against Native Americans even calling them "merciless Indian savages" in the Declaration of Independence.

First we have to bring out the truth and destroy the cult of love around the horrible genocidal maniac, Andrew Jackson, then next is Jefferson and Washington.
