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!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

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.

Huh? What is the connection?  :o ::)

I'll have a try at it.
Democrats are upset about a successful sting operation which yielded 114 arrests, while simultaneously supporting a sting against Trump that yielded nothing against him. But it's a poor connection, because the Democrats are upset the US is upholding immigration laws, not that stings bother them in particular.

You post a link to answer my question and it was #fakenews. No he didn't lie. He did what most news outlets do. They run with a story before checking it out properly.

Contrast that to our current president who just makes stuff up and flat out lies. Look at the video of SS I just posted where she was given to opportunity to correct her lie/false statement. She refused to. That says a lot about her credibility!!!

I haven't figured out the difference between informant and spy other that who their employer is. Sounds like they took out a thesaurus to come up with a different word. If a spy is unjustified neither is an informant. If an informant is justified so is a spy. I can't figure out why people are busy with the word distinction. When people give such unsubstantive explanations that leads me to believe that the substance doesn't look good for them.
Spy sounds more nefarious. The issue is Trump is claiming they spied on him/campaign. D's and R's both say that is not true. He continues to repeat the lie over and over. Remember the wiretap lie? This is the same thing. The Trumpsters eat this stuff up because they are so gullible.

So now a correction to the corrected original link you posted. You trying to prove my point that media makes mistakes?

That they are more concerned with a narrative than with the truth. When something fits with their narrative they will take it and run without bothering to check if it is true. If it contradicts their narrative they will opinion check it a thousand times with a fine toothed comb to explain why it doesn't contradict their narrative.

To some extent I agree.
The point remains about lies. Take your top 1 or 2 newscaster for the majors. They seldom if ever lie on purpose. Contrast that with the president who does it on a regular basis.

I agree but that does not in any way exonerate them. The entire job of a news journalist is to find and report the truth not to advance a narrative.

That is your view and we disagree. The Trumpster take the disagreement and try to turn it into they lied while at the same time they believe Trump.

...but are they hiding behind that? You really want an idiot like this negotiating with NK, Russia, China or Iran?

No but neither did/would I want an appeaser. I also can see an advantage to fresh negotiating tactics.

Do you have any kids in the 10-13 age range? I bet they can come up with fresh ideas but I would not want them negotiating.

Fresh negotiating tactics from an idiot is not an advantage. I assumed the second statement was about Trump.
