Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Oh goodness golly me. You're like the schoolyard bully poking someone in the back, and when they turn around you pick your hands up, shrug and say, "who me? I was parev at best"
If you say so. What would you call parve?

You don't believe the media has squandered plenty of credibility over the past few months (albeit maybe not as much as the white house)?

In the first month of the administration, it was a nearly daily occurrence that they turn the dial up to 11 on stories based on anonymous sources that were debunked and retracted within 48 hours.

On this story, my guess is that when the memo comes out, it will not be clear if what he said was really "interfering  in the investigation" or just shooting his mouth off and both sides will claim vindication, only to rinse and repeat the whole cycle the next day...

The first step for a red line would be to know it to be true. I fully support Congress investigating. Now you answer.

I agree 100% with those comments about the media.

But this week has been insane. It's not just the memo, it's an avalanche of stories. One example is the classified info leak to Russia, which WH staff were sent to deny before Trump tweeted and basically confirmed it.

This comey thing is being made a bigger deal, because 1) it's potentially illegal 2) it is reminiscent of the "smoking gun"

But in reality, all the other stories coming out of the white house are worse to me, about how the leaks by staff are because that's the only way to get Trump to listen, about how Trump can't read anything longer than a bullet point, about how he doesn't understand his intelligence briefings, etc etc.

Not only are these reports not being debunked, they are being confirmed by multiple outlets and not even being denied by the WH.

And there is no satisfaction in saying "told you so"

You say you are parev but you will not relinquish support of Trump no matter what he does. I appreciate a level of nuance in the discussion in a world that has become so tribal and partisan, but at a certain point you gotta say genug shoin.

While I agree this is out of hand, I do believe that this is typical behavior of any president wether it's hinting suggestions ("hope you can let go") or sharing classified information.
You got to be pretty naive to think everything that goes on behind closed doors of any administration would be considered straight in the eyes of the public.
In summary the real story here is the leakers and the men on the inside who's mission is to take down Trump.

It's telling that  WH officials, and gop members of Congress, have no rebuttal to this last Flynn thing.

CMIIW but I don't think we've heard anything from Comey. Only sources close to Comey.

Let's wait for the memo to come out. Wouldn't be surprised if ZH is correct. Each side will interpret the memo in its own extreme and irrational way and the truth will be somewhere in the middle.
If you don't care why would you comment?

yet you cannot tell us what you call parve. I've red line I would have is seeing the IRS against political opponents. Even if not done explicitly. If trump would joke about his opponents getting an audit how would you react? Yet all you hypocrites had no Irishmen when Obama did just that even when it actually happened and any investigation was stonewalled. Sup with the bs about trump crossing red lines. It has nothing to do with red lines it has to do with tor preconceived notions about him.

Where did you ever see me defend Obama? About that, about healthcare, about his attacks on the media, about his disastrous foreign policy?
