The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

I’ve watched a lot more CNN this year than I ever have in my previous life. I would say that they’re factual, but not necessarily fair nor balanced. They could easily spend all day discoursing on minutiae concerning Stormy Daniels and her cohorts – all of it true, but it shows what they think is important.

A thought experiment: if we got today’s news in the manner of 1968: 30 minutes per day from Walter Cronkite…what would make the cut?

They’ve not been paying attention and have missed that Trump is having a meltdown.

Congress treats Trump the way China treats North Korea. They are afraid of what will happen if they stop enabling him, so they ignore his insanity and hope he doesn’t blow them up too.

as with all “networks” they are biased toward the* corporate* and like all TV they are biased toward a compelling visual

and yet so much better than fox. :rolleyes:

This is either the most epic troll ever or… I don’t know what else it could be.

Yeah, I said the same exact thing. The President trolling the entire US of A. Classic.

Of all the damaging things Trump has done, this one actually scares the shit out of me. Trump will now hear only what Bolton wants him to hear regarding national security. The man is unstable, impulsive and holds views of the world that are truly dangerous. Congress should immediately reinstate the rules of war before we end up in a nuclear disaster. But of course, they won’t.

Oh, he’ll sign it. He just has to make sure he’s in the headlines up until the last second.

I call BS. CNN is what I would call white bread news. Plain and not spicy at all. Like USA Today. Fluffy.

Faux News is alt-right propaganda.

For leftward tilt go to MSNBC. And while they’re left in 2018, their current views would be pretty much middle of the road in 1970.

Is this a whoooosh, or did he actually say/tweet that?

Of course he did. That’s why it’s so funny.

Seconded,

I believe you. Was it a tweet? Or vocal. Do you have a cite? I must forward this on.

It was a tweet. I don’t know how to link a tweet, but it’s all over the news now.

Soooo…the whole “Democrats only care about illegal immigrants” smear that Republicans have been spreading recently because of the Dems’ support of DACA. Is that still a thing or [del]are we now[/del] have we always been at war with Eastasia?

I think he’s just saying “I didn’t get what I want, and Dems didn’t get what they want either, so it’s a bad bill.”

Obviously he’s just throwing a tantrum to get attention. He’ll sign it. He doesn’t have the guts to shut down the government all by himself.

Thanks. Un. Fucking. Believable. But no. Wait. This is SOP.

To reiterate: he’ll sign it at the last minute. He’s getting a little baby stiffie thinking about how he has the power to shut down the whole gummint with the flick of a pen held in his tiny hand.

And perhaps trying to bury some other news. Maybe all the bad press about his trade war. Or all the discussion about how bad John Bolton is.
