The two issues aren't related to one another. Trump is obviously a demagogue. That doesn't however mean that politicians are obliged to speak like dull, politically correct androids.

Must be true then.....
Is it all fake to him?
Big Russia investigation presser starting now.
Warner & Burr about to give an news conference on the Russia probe.
Don't quite understand what you're getting at. One the one hand you say the line between politics and entertainment has been obliterated and on the other you're saying Trump is once in a lifetime. There will be more Trumps if you think that line has been blurred. Cuban would be another Trump in that he would be a celebrity with zero political experience winning due to America's grotesque celebrity culture.
How can a guy so good at maths, martial arts and surviving on Mars on nothing but poo be out of touch? Jeez.
has he started calling it a FAKE Russian investigation yet... very very biased... they should apologize for wasting tax payer money... etc etc
The specific circumstances that led to Trump's rise are entirely unique. And although he blew the lid off of traditional norms, even though there isn't likely to be another demagogic charlatan like Trump, there is no going back to the old pre-social media etiquete of how pre-Trump politicians talked. This is why imo, someone like Cuban will do well. He speaks with a degree of authenticity and isn't beholden to a particular political party.
Its not Trump speaking at the moment. He's busy flying to Vegas. The presser is being done by the Senate committee chairmen.
surely he can tweet from a plane - if not im sure thats the next airforce one upgrade
Any streams?
Its on CNN. Don't have a stream handy though since its on TV here.
You're not missing much. Burr just said they cant provide any results of their probe yet.
Ooosh, couple of juicy questions there.
The fact that he said it’s still an open matter is news - as in they haven’t removed it from the table.

Online Trump supporters feeling justified that it's a nothing burger
I believe I've mixed up his real life with the plot to Good Will Hunting
I was thinking if there was a 'left' version of Trump going mental blaming the gun companies and the selfishness of it'd resonanate with the masses more so than someone logically arguing to minor gun controls, which in reality do little and don't inspire.

Wait that was a documentary about his life wasn't it?
Obviously anything related to Trump wouldn't be desirable. On the other hand, Cuban seems to have a pretty strong mastery of an oddly large amount of political topics and would be a good counterbalance to Trump if he ever faced him. Trump's polemics wouldn't work on Cuban like they worked on conventional establishment politicians ranging from Jeb Bush to Hillary Clinton.
At this rate you could literally pick anyone in hollywood and they stood a good chance against trump. Even 50 cents would get some vote if he wanted to go for president.
But your country and the world will never be the same after trump. Trump has shown the world, to his credit that yes you can just grab a nation by their pussy and feck with literally everyone else by simply being a bigger cnut. And it works. If he doesn't get impeached and successfully finish his terms there's bound to be the next trump in line.
I guess it's true that ideology is scarier than nuclear
I'm not so sure if he's in control. He backed the establishment figure in the Alabama primary but the anti establishment candidate won. It seems like they chose trump as a way of venting anger and don't give a fck about the consequences but I think they see him as a means to an end and will get bored of him if they think he isn't screwing things up as much as they'd like.
Plus, he doesn't believe in exercise.
Trump is a bully boy and that shows strength to many. He talks, shouts and humiliates his opponents. And politics is essentially a conflict, throughout history more intelligent politicians have lost to bully boys. In boxing when you fight a big puncher a tactic is to push them on the back foot to take away their leverage and when your opponent goes low you go low in retaliation. All the while hyping up a populisist agenda. The left were guilty of not being aggressive enough to Trump and not hyping their own agenda effectively.
What's the record for the shortest stint as Chief of Staff?
What left are you referring to?
I swear thats such an American thing
Yeah I think it comes from the 'nation of immigrants' thing. By contrast, I'm just Irish.
Not really a surprise. But as long as he keeps his hardcore fans united he is gonna be fine.
He's right-handed isn't he? It'll be the pussy on the left he grabs.
funny and no doubt true
The irony in that Trump was the epitome of a wealthy, silver-spoon, liberal elite his entire life.
GOP hardcore supporters remind me of this cartoon.
