Donald Trump 2018

[JimTom 119]

Funny, I think CNN quit keeping up with the this Trump tracker when they were continually pumping in more red:

http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/politics/tracking-trumps-promises/index.html

Looks like more red is needed.  For all the boneheaded Trump-isms (and there are many), it sure is refreshing to see a president do what he says he is going to do.  Ain't never seen that before.  

[kevwun 15,589]

There are some great books about incredibly complicated subjects.  A Caro, Foote, Morris or Massie will eventually come along and lay the entire mess out clearly and in painstaking detail.

If the illiterate millionaires in the NFL want to make a political statement, they should do so on their own time.  Not at the beginning of the football game. 

That's the point.

I don't think you're being fair to the team owners.  I don't think any of them is illiterate.

They are all just going to be repeats of Fire and Fury. I'm sure there are a couple of stories in the book that were embellished, but the overall gist will be the same in any additional books from insiders, essentially the president is a fucking moron. 

Anybody with a couple braincells and internet access already knows that.  Don't give these fucks any money when their books come out. 

I'm sure the basic premise "Dotus is gonna dotard" will hold true.  I'm more interested in whether there may be some insights dribbled out over time that may prove significant prior to  elections.  Just a curiosity of marketing/timing to me.

JimTom's CNN tracker --> 12 of the 25 headlines on cnn.com today are about Trump.  

CNN trying it's hardest to dog on him 24/7.  But what they don't get, is that he loves, adores, and bathes in the attention.  No news is bad news, right?  The left media, without even knowing, through all their struggles, is no more than Trump's puppet.

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand 13,536]

It's always good to note transition points.  For the last couple of years, the controversy was over whether it was unAmerican to show disrespect for the flag.  Now the Trumpsters believe it is unAmerican to show disrespect for the President.  Fuck these fucking fuckheads.

On the campaign trail, promising to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Hillary was a highlight of Trump rallies. Now, special counsels are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!! A year or so Godwin's Law was a thing because virtually everyone agreed Nazis were the worse of the worse. Now, the president thinks there are some fine Nazis and a chunk of the country thinks antifa's just as bad. Two days ago the idea that the president could murder his felloe citizens then pardon himself was laughable. Now people in position of power are making that argument.

For anyone who ever had any concerns about executive overreach, Trump should be a real nightmare.

That's what blockades look like. We should be airdropping food and medicine. If you have to justify it politically, put US flags all over the containers and file the operation under Hearts and Minds. 

Weaponizing starvation is a total war strategy. Yemen, to my meager knowledge is a mess of factions having their strings pulled by outsiders. We should not be involved in a total war strategy against the people of Yemen, IMHO. 

Maybe if we feed a few of them we could actually generate a little goodwill after bombing the shit out of the MidEast for more than a decade.

As a big supporter of the free enterprise system I fully support the owner's right to run the team as they see fit.  They can decide to support the players or produce a product for fans like me who want a show of respect for the flag and the anthem to be part of the product they sell.  If they don't provide a product I like I won't buy it, but I don't think they are obligated to provide a product I want.  The behavior of the players is between them and the owners.

Trump doesn't have any obligation to host the players at the White House, particularly if they don't plan to be gracious guests.  Trump did the thing which was in his interests, as he should.

This wasn't an issue of them being gracious guests.  It was an issue that most of the team wasn't planning to go, so Trump is pulling the "Nuh uh, I broke up with you; you didn't break up with me" card.  He's just being a thin skinned little pussy, like always.

And think how good Trump could have looked by welcoming the players that wanted to come and saying that he wished all had attended. He could have been cheerful and welcoming to those who did show up and come out looking pretty good.

But noooooooooooo!

He has to throw a fit and blither about the anthem and America while doubling down on his war on NFL players who hate the military, firefighters, and His Holiness Donald Trump.

His hands are tiny but, as a man, he is far smaller.

It means that team team has indicated that they do not intend to be gracious guests.  Sending 4-10 players is not behaving graciously.  It's insulting.

Yes, he could have responded to "going low" by "going high".  But I don't think it would have served him well.

Gracious guests? They have to be gracious guests?

 

Yeah let me show up to the house of the asshole that called me a son of a bitch and that is damn close to calling me the N word and damn near acting like a slave owner by supporting slave owner tactics.

 

These are NFL players...they’re not Ted Cruz or GOPers like yourself that would gladly lick dotards asshole at his home after being insulted.

 

So yeah, fuck off with “they need to be gracious guests”.

It must be a weird world that you live in where part of a team declining an invitation in reaction to a host's sexist and racist comments indicates that the part of the team that accepts the invitation intend not to be gracious guests.   As is stated above, he could have welcomed the individuals on the team who are willing to come since there is no indication that they would not have been gracious guests.  He could also have not lied about the reason he cancelled the event.  But, he's an insecure pussy and a serial liar, so that's what we get. 

[kevwun 15,589]

Trump pisses on our living room rug daily and Tahoe gets offended when we have the audacity to notice it.  The word gracious and Donald Trump do not belong in the same sentence.  He is a disgrace to the office and does not deserve an ounce of respect from anyone because he has done nothing to earn it.

Yeah, but Trump is winning the war.  He is trying to manufacture red meat for his base, and they are buying it.  Just see Tahoe's posts.  Meanwhile, people like Tahoe are discussing this bs instead of, in an offhand list of things a billion times more important than a photo op at the WH:

1.  the thousands dead in PR who the dotard threw towels at

2.  the dotard separating children from their parents and refusing to let a senator in to document how the young children were being treated

3.  the dotard and his attorneys arguing he is above the law

4.  that the dotard lied to the American people repeatedly about his statement of the meeting with Dotard Jr. and Russian agents

5.  that the Dotard's campaign chair allegedly engaged in witness tampering

6.  Scott Pruitt

7. that dotard made an enemy of Canada!

The offer to the Eagles was gracious.  The Eagles decision to send 4-10 players was a dick move which deserved an appropriate response.

What time is the Nazi parade scheduled to be at today?

You know where Dotard commands people to stand and be gracious and salute him? I wonder if he’ll have a military outfit....how many medals of honor has he awarded himself for his jacket?

Calling the players sons of bitches long predated whatever the Eagles did and was a bigger dick move.

This whole fiasco is glorious.  Trump got the team wrong in the original tweet and then his cronies at Fox News doctored a story to make it look different.  Your social circle will have no idea as to how fake this is.  They'll believe everything hook line and sinker.
