The Trump Years- Every day something more shocking than the last! (3 Viewers)

[TobiasFunke]

HRC lost to someone you're railing against as terrible for this country.  think about that for second:  YOUR candidate lost to a dude who was amazingly bad for this country.  What does that say about YOUR candidate?  Has it sunk in yet?  Yeah, I think we dodged a bullet here.  You're welcome.

Or you can continue to get hysterical and blame everyone except the DNC and HRC herself.  Your choice.

Three drinks!  

Come on, man, slow down.  It's Valentine's Day. Some of us have to stay upright for the missus tonight.

I understand your confusion after reading the thread, but today is actually "Valentine's Day, not "Horse#### False Equivalence Day."  Please update your calendar.

TRIGGERED

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

"Horse#### False Equivalence Day." 

Can't wait the Sh## Brown Thursday sales.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Her face looks like 40 miles of bad, Mexican road.

Wendy from "Breaking Bad" on her best day.

 

[Otis]

I still can't get over the fact that Trump knowingly had Pence out there lying to the American people.

Really?  You can't get over that?  It was surprising?

 

[Ignoramus]

This board is like 90% liberal. It's disgusting.

Close, but more like 97%.

 

[rojbk]

Come on, man, slow down. 

You lose the right to tell people to slow down when you have 30K+ posts on an internet forum.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

They have pills now

 

[Otis]

How many days until it is confirmed that Trump put him up to making these phone calls?

 

[MaxThreshold]

As long as the shoe fits you and others like you will be wearing it.  And I'm the FFA Cobbler who's going to make sure you do.

60k+ is fair game for me to tell you guys to #### though right?

 

[GoBirds]

Love Pelosi explaining the "Scapegoat" tweet.....what a couple of clowns.

They come as a set.

So, you think the bad things Obama did are like the bad things Trump is doing.  

Well, we don't have to go into what Obama did or didn't do, but clearly you think what Trump is doing is bad, so that's good to hear.

I agree that Trump is a terrible President and the ONLY reason I"m glad he's POTUS is because at least he won't advance the liberal agenda.  At this point anyway.  Anything he does that may help advance the conservative agenda is icing on the cake for me.

I also am not making excuses by quoting degrees of lies and deceit like the current libs are (ahem) when trying to make excuses why suddenly lies and deceit are a BIG ####### DEAL.

I mean, I guess it's fun to point out hypocrisy, at least in your eyes, and that might give you satisfaction, but that doesn't remove the fact that bad things are happening right now, and the current president is doing a terrible job.

I mean, there are two tracks you can take with the convo - hypocrisy of those complaining about Trump's actions and Trumps actions themselves.  This thread is largely focusing on Trump's actions, yet you continue to operate as if the focus is on hypocrisy...it's why so many accuse you of derailing the conversation.  Feel free to start a thread talking about how hypocritical the "libs" are, and it'll be good discussion...but in here it's generally discussion about what bad things the current president is doing.

I doubt you'll take my advice, but I'd actually engage in a separate thread on the hypocrisy of the left in dealing with Trump's issues...but it's not worth engaging that topic in here when we're discussing real and present issues.  :stepping off soap box:

 

[CowboysFromHell]

In their defense, they've been FBGs for longer than Flynn was NSA

Flynn was an alias!  Now, I'm really confused! 

 

[adonis]

How many days until it is confirmed that Trump put him up to making these phone calls?

Without leaks? Months.  With leaks? Weeks.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Close, but more like 97%.

And they are all circle-jerking themselves to death.  We should probably start thinking about an "In Memoriam" thread for them.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Looking forward to watching the news tonight. I'm hoping that they will discuss the most important thing, the legality of what Flynn did.

If they instead speculate about bigger Russian angles, waste time on talking about why the president allowed him to stay in his position, and engage in random hysteria, I won't be surprised.

The biggest thing that should be talked about right now is Trumps claim that Flynn broke no rules.  Hopefully that is discussed.

Oh, well Flynn may have encrypted communications with the Russkies.

Facts will out yaknow...

Slow down

 

[Otis]

Sad thing is the shame this all is bringing to Flynn. Guy was probably not a bad dude and sacrificed a tremendous amount for the country. Crappy way for him to have to end his career. 

I also feel really bad for any other qualified folks who get promoted to major positions in government if they were folks who likely had it coming anyway; getting picked by Trump is such an embarrassment. You wait your whole life and when it's your turn, this guy is in charge. Oof. 

 

[Otis]

I find it absolutely stunning how stupid my fellow Americans really are. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Love Pelosi explaining the "Scapegoat" tweet.....what a couple of clowns.   

On the Dem side this plus Waters losing her mind and saying Korea instead of Crimea are on the poor side.

But it's no secret the Dems need younger leadership. Hearing some of these codgers talking about hacking and technology is not easy...

 

[CowboysFromHell]

Do you have me on ignore, @CowboysFromHell?  I hope not because I wanted to get to know you better.  

BTW, is @cowboysfromhell9 an alias of yours?

Nope.  And, nope.

I don't know you as well as many people here, but I can already say that your desire to know me better is not mutual.

Might want to do a bit of research on the ridiculous stuff Flynn has done.  He's not a real sympathetic figure.

 

[Sabertooth]

If you were a patriot you would have voted for Trumps America first policy. Hmmmm

Nah I have a great bull#### detector.  I knew he was compromised.  

 

[Otis]

KAC getting the axe will rule. Trump running around like the Queen of Hearts in Wonderland. 

OFF WITH HER HEAD!

 

[Eephus]

And none in the Shark Pool. Or even any FFA sports threads.

Well, nobody has any posts in the Basketball Forum

 

[Otis]

Trying to at least not be as polarized as the idiots on the other side. Giving some credit where it's even potentially due. 

 

[Coeur de Lion]

I find it absolutely stunning how stupid my fellow Americans really are. 

This latest wave of Trumpkins has succeeded in accomplishing the impossible -- they actually make Eminence, Loan Sharks, Beaver, etc look like intellectuals.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

I find it absolutely stunning how stupid my fellow Americans really are. 

There's a working theory (mine) that Trump's fans are stimulated and energized by the outrage of Trump's critics, who in turn react to extreme stupidity and capriciousness of Trump, and Trump seeks to energize his base, so every day Trump does something more stupid, so every day is therefore more stupid than the last.

 

[The General]

Putin kicking back every with some borscht, sipping on some vodka reading the news thinking smugly "look at what I have done".

 

[Sabertooth]

Pelosi autocorrects to Owlish in my phone.  Pretty accurate. 

 

[CowboysFromHell]

His administration is breaking apart and the Cheeto is tweeting about Obamacare.  

Talking points.  Stick to the talking points.  Like this guy.

I like this post - a lot.  It's exactly how I feel.  Maybe you should speak for me from now on?

I just can't get over the hypocrisy on display here.  I'm waiting for one of you guys to admit it - or even acknowledge it.  Maybe then I'll be able to move on.

 

[timschochet]

Since Flynn's dad was named Charles Flynn, how can we address him using the patrynomic? 

Michael Charlesovich? 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Such a massive waste of human life and progress for Russia. His country is isolated, their soldiers die in Ukraine, Syria, Caucasus, the people get poorer, it's all so dumb.

 

[Otis]

At what point does KAC just tell Trump to F off, and that she's not going out there again to get on camera and get pummeled for his stupid lies?  She looks like a wet, beaten dog. 

 

[squistion]

Don't you have some tweets to spam from a fake twitter account? This is how you spend your night on valentines?

Apparently spending it the same way you are.

He's the premier; he can afford some caviar. Screw the borscht.

It's the whole crying wolf and grasping for every single ridiculous thing to freak out about has numbed the public. And yes the fact they are so old and out of touch.....I mean how have the Dems not locked Pelosi in the basement and hid the key. Along with ole what's his nuts that decided not to go to an inauguration for the first time.....oh wait he forgot it wasn't the first time. Those two referencing tweets is rich. 

 

[Ignoramus]

Like who? The guys in the CIA listening in on our foreign enemies' conversations?

But this time they were evidently listening to the Russians, not the German diplomats.

I heard Nancy today. She may be old but she's still twice as smart as nearly anybody on the other side (and ten times as smart as our President). She was also the most effective Speaker since Tip O Neil IMO. Tremendous person, great politician. 

 

[Ilov80s]

He voted to confirm Devos, no?  

What's that have to do with anything? I'm sure a lot of his constituents supported Devos too.   Devos was a bad nominee in our opinions, but there's also something to be said for letting the President pick the people he wants for his cabinet.

 

[Joe Summer]

otis:

How many days until it is confirmed that Trump put him up to making these phone calls?

- Trump told Flynn to make the phone calls.
- Trump told Flynn to lie to Pence, to the FBI, and to anyone else who asked what was going on.
- Trump told Pence to assure the media that Flynn did nothing wrong.

Pence may not be happy, but he won't throw Trump under the bus. But Flynn might.

She should have run for President.

Sure didn't look like it and clearly doesn't mind spreading more fake news.

Why is Pence constantly being painted as an innocent dupe in all of this???  What am I missing?
