    Sandy, try this.

    Talk for Sandy

    Stop doing Trump's talking for him. You are wrong and do a lousy job anyway.
    Do not talk for men like Grover Norquist for the same reason

    You may at times report accurately for what Trump says, it is your constant ad libbing that grates on most of we observers of you warn you to stop.

    So you pretend not to understand. And you do not know the minds of all posters. That is an example of you going way too far.

    Sources are not all valid. Sources used should have backup for one thing.

    To some extent that is true. Trump is more of a Democrat than a Republican. Absent any serious war or economic crisis, the National Debt has risen sharply under Trump.

    He is spending money like a drunken Democrat while protecting workers with his tariffs, another liberal concept.

    Trump nominated John Ratcliffe to replace Dan Coats as the next Director of National Intelligence. This would launch a lawmaker with less than five years national experience and no years of intelligence experience under his belt to the pinnacle of US espionage in one of the most powerful and sensitive jobs in government.

    Trump chose him because of his die-hard conservative persona that has made him a star in the House and a darling on Fox News.

    This, folks, is Trump's idea of a joke.

    Trump is a pathological liar. He has gotten so bad many think he can no longer differentiate reality from his fantasies. He showed that again today.

    Trump claimed Tuesday that African Americans are so delighted with his attacks on the city of Baltimore and US congressman Elijah Cummings, an African American, that they are calling him at the White House in large numbers to thank him. :roflol::rolleyes: That's surreal.

    "What I've done for African Americans, no president, I would say, has done. Now, I'll say this: they are so happy, because I get the calls. They are so happy at what I've been able to do in Baltimore and other Democratic-run, corrupt cities," Trump said. :roll:

    "The African American people have been calling the White House. They have never been so happy as what a president has done. Not only the lowest unemployment in history for African Americans, not only opportunity zones for, really, the biggest beneficiary the inner city, and not only criminal justice reform. But they're so happy that I pointed out the corrupt politics of Baltimore. It's filthy dirty. It's so horrible. And they are happy as hell," Trump added.:icon_jawdrop: He didn't say what they are happy about.

    Trump began talking negatively about Cummings and Baltimore in a series of tweets on July 27. In a Quinnipiac University poll conducted from July 25 to July 28 -- two days before the tweets, the day of the tweets, and one day after the tweets -- Trump had a 6% approval rating and 84% disapproval rating with black voters. Eighty percent of black voters said Trump is racist, while just 11% said he is not.

    https://poll.qu.edu/images/polling/us/us07292019_uymr53.pdf/

    BTW, in case anyone is wondering, other polls are quite similar.

    Of course, Trump talks only to his base. They are the only ones gullible enough to believe him, but are they really that gullible and uninformed?

    Sandy you are talking to yourself again. In President Trump annoys you, perhaps you should avoid political discussions. At this point in tine there is only person making a fool of him/she/alphabets self with repeated threads on the same topic.

    Trump even lies about his lies.

    C-SPAN political editor Steve Scully asked Trump if he regretted the tweets.

    "You've issued 43,000 tweets. Did you ever regret sending one out?" Scully asked.

    Trump said, "Not much...I sent the one about the 'wiretapping'...and that turned out to be true."

    No, it turned out to be a lie.

    "If I got fair coverage I wouldn't even have to tweet," Trump said. "It's my only form of defense. If the press covered me fairly, I wouldn't need that. But they don't cover me fairly."

    He doesn't even know that it is his moronic, racist tweets that cause the negative press in many cases.

    He honestly does not know what reality is anymore. I am almost beginning to feel sorry for him.

    Almost.

    Trump is proud of his talent for lying. He calls it "truthful hyperbole," and he considers it a political tactic. Trump defines truthful hyperbole in this way.

    "The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration, and a very effective form of promotion."

    "I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world," Trump said during a morning session with reporters.

    Once again, only his staunchest fans could believe that remark.

    Trump cannot " make" a fool f himself. He did thst a long time ago. It is just the increasing frequency of his acts of shear stupidity are making it more obvious and harder to deny.

    The latest claim that India asked him to act as mediator with Pakistand lasted less than an hour when it was exposed as total fiction by India.

    Feel sorry for America's reputation not the cretin that is destroying it!

    And just to expose his stupidity in claiming the Democrats are socialists I put the definition of socialism in my signature. That way every time I post I expose Trump's ignorance and the ignorance of his sycophants.

    More truthful hyperbole. I don't get the "truthful" part.

    When you understand this kind of thing is merely pabulum for his base, then Trump is easier to understand. He know his loyal base will believe that shyt.

    You know, I'm wondering, which of us disagrees with Sanders more, you or me.

    Actually, you should say kind things about Sanders. If somehow he gets nominated, Trump will win for sure. That is also true of Warren and Harris.

    You didn't even realize that, did you?

    The Dem swamp won't allow a Sanders ticket. Didn't you figure that out in 2016?

    Nah, it'll be Uncle Joe, the burned-out 80 year old child molester. Unless he caves. Then there's no telling which clown will run.

    Doesn't matter, Trump will win, regardless.

    Trump angrily lashed out at the Navy for awarding commendations to prosecutors in the murder trial of Edward Gallagher, a former special operations chief, and he publicly instructed Pentagon officials to strip them of the medals.

    “I have directed the Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer & Chief of Naval Operations John Richardson to immediately withdraw and rescind the awards. I am very happy for Eddie Gallagher and his family!”

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Rapper A$AP Rocky’s trial began in Stockholm, Sweden, on Tuesday, and the Trump administration sent a very notable guest: the US presidential envoy for hostage affairs.


    The New York Times and Politico reported that Robert C. O’Brien, the US top diplomat responsible for negotiating the release of Americans held abroad, is in Stockholm to monitor the trial of A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers.


    Rocky and two members of his entourage have been charged with assault. His arrest became a sore point in the US-Sweden relationship last week when President Donald Trump personally intervened in the case, speaking directly with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, and then made that involvement very public on Twitter.

    I guess the President doesn't have anything better to do. He might as well piss of another friendly nation. What the hell.

    That was written on Monday. On Friday Trump pulled the nomination. I said the nomination was a joke.

    Then Trump made a fool of himself ... again.

    He said the news media is part of the White House vetting process.

    "I get a name, I give it out to the press and you vet for me. A lot of time you do a very good job. Not always," Trump told reporters. "If you look at the vetting process for the White House, it is very good, but you are part of the vetting process. I give out a name to the press and you vet for me, we save a lot of money that way."

    Honest, Trump actually said that. He is on television making that ludicrous remark, which begs a question. Is he really that stupid? Will even his fans believe that comment? Yeah, probably.

    "If you look at the vetting process for the White House, it is very good." If the very opposite is true, Trump will lie, hoping some will believe him. He has made a career of doing just that nearly on a daily basis. Black is white, night is day, that is Trump's mantra.

    Actually, Trump is setting records regarding people he has nominated, but failed the vetting process and had to be withdrawn. There are far too many to name here. Check for yourself if you don't believe me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Donald_Trump_nominees_who_have_withdrawn

    The White House is in chaos. His fans say, what is not to like.

    Vladimir Putin is enormously pleased with the performance of his protégé.

    Trump wants to be impeached. That is why he has been acting like a complete fool.

    REPORTER: Mr. President, Robert Mueller said last week that Russia is interfering in the U.S. elections right now. Is that --

    TRUMP: "Oh you don't really believe this. Do you believe this? Ok, fine. We didn't talk about it. I spoke with President Putin of Russia yesterday. They are having massive fires in their forest. I've never seen anything like it. I just offered our assistance because we are very good at putting out forest fires frankly. If they should need it, I offered our assistance. We had a good talk, a short talk but a good talk, and I think he appreciated it."

    In a televised speech on Monday condemning two mass shootings over the weekend, Trump mistakenly named the wrong city in Ohio.

    “May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo,” the President said, referring to a city more than 100 miles away from Dayton, the location of a massacre on Sunday. “May God protect them. May God protect all of those from Texas to Ohio. May God bless the victims and their families. May God bless America.”

    Unbelievable. Everyone in the country knew the mass shooting in Ohio took place in Dayton. But our President didn't know that.

    Before he left for Dayton, Trump made an absolute fool of himself several times. "It brings people together," Trump said of his inflammatory rhetoric. "Our country is doing incredibly well."

    Get it? His hate-filled remarks brings the country together. I doubt even his gullible base will believe that ludicrous comment. With Trump, if something is true, he will say the very opposite. “The Democrats always play the Race Card, when in fact they have done so little for our Nation’s great African American people,” Trump tweeted.

    Several times a week Trump makes a fool of himself, hence the thread title. Which, of course, is why his fans avoid this thread. They voted for the idiot, and now they are wondering why.

    One thread supports Trump with cartoons and little else. The cartoons say things his fans would not dare say in an open discussion.

    They don't want to make a fools of themselves.

    Trump’s Justice Department announced that Epstein, who was being held in a federal corrections facility, died by “apparent suicide.”

    Trump disregarded his administration’s statement, instead retweeting a message from conservative actor and comedian Terrence K. Williams, who linked Epstein’s death to former President Bill Clinton.

    For years Trump has brashly — and baselessly — promoted suspicion as fact and peddled secret plots by powerful interests as a way to broadcast his own version of reality. Those include the lie that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States and that millions of votes were illegally cast for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

    Trump is a joke, a man never to be taken seriously.

    Sandy, why do you bump your own threads?
    Trump will be gone in 5-l/2 years.

    I have been told that there are college educated people who voted for Trump, and -- I will assume are capable of defending him -- so, where the hell are they?
