> [@DWMarch](#): > > I am a little dismayed with how the media is jumping all over this as if it is breaking news. Yes, Trump said some dumb, possibly criminal shit for the _sixteen thousandth time_! You would think they would have figured out by now that what he says will never, ever bring him down. Just off the top of my head for dumb Trump statements we have: > > Praising neo-Nazis > Praising dictators > Saying that Kim Jong-Un is off-limits to the CIA > Dismissing the findings of the intelligence community on unambiguous matters > Insulting live war heroes > Insulting dead war heroes > Insulting the US’ longtime allies > Calling Mexicans rapists > Calling African nations “shitholes” > Incestuous thoughts about his daughter > Admitting to sexual assault > Lying about anything and everything under the sun including trivial shit > > And there’s probably about a hundred more I missed. And every goddamn time the media comes running and laps it up. Look what the dummy said now! Surely this is the end of his shenanigans for these statements are certain to inspire the kind of outrage that dethrones kings! > > Trump will never be brought down by what he says and we already have ample proof of this. Any of these statements are enough to ruin the careers of anyone else but Trump just doubles down, sells it as entertainment and the media keeps buying. I agree with all this, but perhaps the Trump enablers were a tad more worried about this latest eruption of criminal-intent-talk than usual----they used up a major distraction to cover it up (namely, the departure of Sarah Huckster). ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I saw a great line, don’t know who said it: “I won’t believe Sarah Sanders is leaving until I hear her deny it myself.” Trevor Noah made a similar joke, along the lines of “We know it’s true because she’s denied it.” > [@Try2B\_Comprehensive](#): > > Sanders was probably my favorite Trump admin figure. She is pretty much unflappable/can keep a straight face like a champ. Someone (I forget who) once asked her how she did it.
