Watching this Trump pep rally. I forget crazy this guy is as a speaker  :lol:

I realized I haven’t heard him speak more than a few lines in a row for a long time.

Either I have forgotten or he’s gotten more clownish in these things. Wasn’t like he was Kennedy before but it was really embarrassing from a Prez. 

Definitely way down the Idiocracy road. Our ship is too big too sink, turn on a dime into the shoal. But, GD it’s sad and crazy to think he got picked.

Definitely not a good long term outlook we got going here.

This was pretty openly known at the time. Trump was chafing at the bit to pair up with Christie. His handlers wanted Pence to satisfy and assure the party. Trump went back and forth and thought about rescinding the offer to Pence after he made it.

Flynn was in consideration too. Think how crazy that would have been if he was the pick.

 
Hawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.

The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history.

No, not our nation's, but in World War II. I mean, we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century, but in this century's history.

 
It used to be Great Britain.  Now it's Britain.   They should make Britain Great Again.   Their people, sometimes I call them Brits.  Not everyone knows that it's because they're from Britain.  But they speak English, because some of them are from England.

Love that the people who scream "fake news" having the gall to wear these Q shirts and Seth Rich signs at the rally.   This "QAnon" or whatever it is called seem to be way more scarier than Alex Jones kool aid drinkers.   They have no idea how brainwashed they are  

 
Am I the only one that looks at these people booing CNN reporters and thinks of college football fans welcoming the visiting team's bus to the stadium?  It doesn't feel violent or malicious to me (mostly) -- just people letting you know what team they're on.

It's worse...MUCH worse than that. Because unlike the results of college football games, this approach and the subsequent  policies do real harm to real people.

HTH.

About the only sane post on this page. Most of your comrades are calling these people racist violent threats to America. Nice to see that someone here has a grasp on reality. 

 
See you guys on the flip side. 

And remember, 99% of the hatred is in your head. Let it go.

Trump is the perfect encapsulation of his supporters (the one exception being that most of his supporters didn't inherit a millions of $).  no wonder they love him

if a dummy like him can be President there's hope for all of us....

 
Curious how the party of states rights feels about this

Killing environmental regulations for new cars.  

I get that there's a partisan backing for reducing regulations and that the environmental issues aren't as big for a lot of Republicans. I also get that the idea of rolling back Obama's regulations or things California supports is pretty popular with the base. 

But they're not just overriding federal rules, they're also apparently overriding rules set by California and several other states. 

That's the part I'm interested in - do trump supporters agree with the federal government overruling state regulations?

I read the article and I think that it makes a very good point.  Let's put aside for the moment that it is over a year old and some would argue that this administration's treatment of the press has worsened over that time.  I think the difference here is that he highlights two main things: 1. Obama's and W's administrations dealing with particular journalists (or in O's case - broader aspects of Fox News) in a way that is questionable.  2. LBJ's willingness to lie directly and indirectly about war progress to the American press/people.  

When looking at situation 1 the difference is that Trump has actively, willingly, even gleefully chided and derided multiple outlets as "fake news" without providing much (if any) substance to the claim.  Essentially when they cover him in an unfavorable light he dumps all over them.  He has now moved to calling them the "enemy of the people" repeatedly and fosters aggressive feelings in his more ardent followers towards them.  He has even done this in light of the fact that some journalists were killed recently and the incident may have been influenced by his rhetoric.  I believe that what O and W did was wrong in those cases.  It seems that Trump has raised the stakes tremendously and cast much wider aspersions without any care regarding what damage this could be doing to the country in the long term - he just wants to feel and look better right now.  

Looking at situation 2, LBJ was also wrong to do this.  That doesn't make what is happening now by this administration OK.  Ever hear "two wrongs don't make a right?"  (Yes, I know that three rights can also make a left.)  How about if my kid is beating up on his younger brother?  If he says "well he was beating up on me 2 years ago" that doesn't excuse EITHER action.  We need to stop trying to draw lines between non-equated actions (or two equated wrong actions) and supposing that one excuses the other.  Something that is wrong is wrong.

This is akin to college football fans welcoming the visiting team's bus? I don't think so.

This is the face of the Republican Party:

I agree with this and that still makes it completely insane. I've seen Tweets saying that when the cameras are off, the people are usually really nice to the media members and like to ask them lots of questions. Our politics being treated like a Michigan-Ohio State game is absolutely nuts though.
