Between this latest shit and Trump's 'Tomorrow Belongs To Me' speech earlier, surely something has to be done about him soon.

I think the IC are working overtime on it.
 
I find this upcoming plan of his for eradicating islamistic terror fascinating. His pitch seems to be that he has told his millitary advisors to come up with a plan to "exterminate islamistic terror once and for all", and that will solve the problem just like that.

Funny thing is that I reckon these millitary strategists have thought about the problem before Trump's time, and the fact that he tells them to solve it with the best and greatest and most complete plan in history doesn't magically solve the problem just because he said so and decided it would be done.

One good place to start could be Saudi-Arabia though, but we can't do that - cuz business.
 
Do the BBC even have a news channel in the US? Wonder what his problem with them is.
BBC America used to show BBC news...but, it's now shown on BBC World News (which is available in the US).

But, Trump hates it because, whether you guys realize it or not...BBC has a massive standing worldwide, so naturally while he's having a go at everyone but right wing media...the BBC will also catch flak

Maybe Farage has told Trump negative stuff about the BBC being anti Brexit and other nonsense.
 
It's a song from a famous musical, chief, sung by Nazi Youth members(!)

TIL.


Also, in comic-book villains ruling the world part 458:
MANY OF THE SAME congressional Republicans who are ducking their constituents by refusing to hold town hall events during this week’s recess are actively offering to meet with donors — for a fee.
...
Speaker Paul Ryan’s constituents in Wisconsin asked him for a town hall meeting during recess, but Ryan’s staff remained cagey about his whereabouts. The real reason he wasn’t hanging out back home in Janesville? Ryan prioritized meeting with wealthy contributors over constituents.

Ryan began the recess with a “Winter PAC Retreat” last weekend at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne in Miami, an event that welcomed donors who have given “a minimum contribution of $10,000″ to the Team Ryan joint fundraising committee. That’s Ryan’s special PAC that can raise as much as $244,200 per person.

Since the event in Miami, the speaker has toured Texas and California hosting events for the PAC in Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, and Menlo Park.

As we speak, Farage is blowing Trump as Piers Morgan waits his turn outside. I can't stand seeing that odious twat lapping it up in America.
 
That's brilliant. Love it. I love the "we do not file this complaint lightly" part. Priceless.
Shame on me, but I before I've read the article, I didn't even know that Kellyanne has seen a law school from the inside.

Major pushback necessary...this lot will just continually test the waters with their charlatan ways.
 
The Washington Post has some explaining to do! If they don't get me a good justification of why they weren't blocked too, I'm canceling my subscription!

Probably incompetence. They can't even do dictatorship right.
 
As much as I'd love for this to happen, realistically, I don't think this is happening.

Agreed. If the press pool in the White house cant behave and act like adults whilst asking Trump questions, no way will they and their employers all take a stand and unite.

Take today for example at his executive order signing, multiple reporters shouting questions at once when the media were supposed to leave the room and none of the questions were clearly heard and they got sent on their way. Whats wrong with taking it in turns, so that a question can get answered by Trump.
 
In my working experience with the media, when you attempt to block, subvert, or delegitimize them because you feel their coverage about you is too negative, you are only inviting them to cover you in an even more venomous way. Trump and Bannon are going to regret this, since the media (including Fox) will galvanize and start to look even deeper into Trump's affairs.
 
Trump meeting with the President of Peru right now. I'm waiting for him to accept an invitation to an Ayahuasca retreat.

That's like the most journalistically journalisty journalismy thing journalists could possibly do. They've been doing it since before journalism.

I'd be surprised if every political journalist worth their salt isn't already putting every ounce of effort into digging on Trump and Russia/corruption/scandals. There is a Pulitzer prize just waiting to be claimed for whoever finds the smoking gun.

I don't think the realize this isn't a campaign anymore. Having your core group of supporters and fcuk what the rest say doesn't work when you are in government.

Well it does if you're a dictator - but, that's not going to work in the US. He's going to end up spending all his time putting out fires (fires he set :lol: )

That dog just ain't gonna hunt.

This administration is exhausting, though.

Plus years of notoriety, a book deal, free drinks and a host of other social perks.

They show every sign that they're operating under the assumption that if "the base" is "energized" enough in 4 years, the turnout is sufficient to carry you through.

This media handbags today is just his way of making sure his GOP support doesn't slip despite the fact that his overall poll numbers are sliding into the high 30s right now. GOP support is still at 88% and this is divide and conquer strategy is just a way of keeping it that high. If the number dips into the 70s or high 60s, then you can bet a lot of GOP congress members will get nervous and start jumping off the ship. Everything is just a quantitative game at this point - for the Dems its to erode his poll numbers, for him its do whatever it takes to keep them high with the base, and this media shitestorm today is just a vehicle towards doing so.
