We need to talk about Donald: the cursing & swearing thread

[Tero]

Pence has no chance of being voted president. A yes man to the end. he may serve a couple of years but do nothing. Global warming is for foreigners, brown people in dry areas with no AC homes and liberals.

In an interview Friday on Fox & Friends, Vice President Mike Pence seemed baffled why "the left" is so worried about global warming. "For some reason or another, this issue of climate change has emerged as a paramount issue for the left in this country and around the world," Pence said, the day after President Trump announced that he intends to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement. Pence insisted the U.S. has already shown "real leadership" and "real progress" by somewhat reducing carbon emissions over the last decade.

The leadership Pence seemed to be most impressed with, however, was Trump's. "It is so refreshing to have a president who just stands without apology for the American people, for the American economy, and for America's interests in the world first," Pence said, arguing that America's commitment to the Paris accord — which aims to fight global warming by reducing carbon emissions — "put a real burden on our economy and on our people."

Horrible mainstream media going out of their way to make President Trump look bad with their stupid tone policing. Disgusting, disgusting people.

"Trump drops attack ad targeting 'the president's enemies': Democrats and the media"

The Trump campaign released a new attack ad Sunday entitled, "Let President Trump Do His Job." The 30-second spot decries "the president's enemies" — namely, Democrats, the media, and career politicians — and suggests average Americans would be happy were Trump's agenda simply allowed to move forward unhindered. (Trump's approval rating is a historically low 38 percent.)

The ad also credits Trump for achievements including "more Americans working than ever before" and "the strongest military in decades."

Initial responses to the clip suggested its tone was inappropriate so soon after lethal violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. Others noted the ad's incongruity with Trump's own calls for unity, and that the "enemy" language offered an arguably harsher denunciation of the press than of the suspected domestic terrorism in Virginia.

Eh... he just has a flat affect.

I thought he had a Honda.

For the intellectuals who want more than the 30 second ad provides:

"How Trump’s paranoid White House sees ‘deep state’ enemies on all sides"

An extraordinary memo by a former national security official contains a list of Donald Trump’s perceived enemies within, offering an insight into paranoia gripping the White House.

The author, Rich Higgins, was ousted last month by the national security adviser, HR McMaster. But the president reportedly saw the memo when it was passed to him by his son, Donald Trump Jr, and was said to be “furious” at Higgins’s forced departure.

Entitled POTUS & Political Warfare and written in florid pseudo-intellectual language, the memo illustrates the siege mentality that fuels Trump, his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and the “alt-right” in their endless running battles with the media, the so-called “deep state” and others.

The seven-page document – leaked to Foreign Policy magazine – claims the Trump administration is suffering under “withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then delegitimize and ultimately remove the president”.

It continues: “Recognizing in candidate Trump an existential threat to cultural Marxist memes that dominate the prevailing cultural narrative, those that benefit recognize the threat he poses and seek his destruction.”

Writing in May this year, Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the National Security Council, goes on to identify seven groups that he claims are part of a huge conspiracy to bring the president down.

In the ongoing battle to Make America Great Again™:

"Trump says he may pardon Arizona ex-sheriff Arpaio: Fox News"

President Donald Trump is considering pardoning Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff found guilty last month of criminal contempt for violating the terms of a 2011 court order in a racial profiling case, Fox News reported on Monday.

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday at his country club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The White House had no official announcement concerning Arpaio for now, a spokeswoman said on Monday.

Arpaio had styled himself as "America's toughest sheriff" for his no-nonsense treatment of jail inmates and a crackdown on illegal immigrants.

...

Arpaio was convicted on July 31 of misdemeanor contempt by a U.S. District judge in Phoenix for willfully disregarding a judge’s order that barred his officers from stopping and detaining Latino motorists solely on suspicion that they were in the country illegally. Arpaio continued the patrols for about another 17 months.

The 85-year-old former lawman, who lost his bid for re-election as Maricopa County sheriff last November after 24 years in office, faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a fine when he is sentenced on Oct. 5.

Trump told Fox News the pardon could happen in the next few days.

“He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot and I hate to see what has happened to him,” Fox News quoted the president as saying.

Those enemies of Trump and the American people are lying about his approval rating AGAIN!!!

"Gallup: Trump's approval rating drops to new low of 34%"

President Donald Trump's approval rating dropped to its lowest level in his presidency Monday, according to Gallup.

In a survey of 1,500 adults 18 and older, Trump is supported by 34 percent with 61 percent disapproving of him, also a low. He is backed by 77 percent of Republicans.

On a roll, L'emmy!

It's a toss-up whether it's you or Tero that posts the most about the Trumpster!

Not even the Nazis believe Trump's pathetic speech.

[quote="SkyMutt";p="2576708"][quote="OlivierK";p="2576644"][quote="proudfootz";p="2576588"]Looks like Trump has something new to say about recent events in Virginia:

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump, facing mounting pressure from Republicans and Democrats alike, did what he declined to do over the weekend during an event at the White House on Monday when he directly condemned white supremacists and neo-Nazis in a brief statement to reporters.

"Racism is evil -- and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," Trump said in response to the attacks in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.

"Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America," Trump said.

It's so late, and so obviously not written by him that you've got to question the sincerity. Add not taking questions when he delivered it, and I'm sure all the racist fucks still reckon he's on their side, but just putting on a show.[/quote]

Richard Spencer (of "peaceful ethnic cleansing" infamy, among others) said so right out:

Commenting on the president’s statement Monday finally disavowing white nationalists, Spencer said “only a dumb person would take those lines seriously.”

“Its just silliness,” Spencer said,. “It’s not serious and I don’t think anyone takes it seriously including the president.”

It mentions that after his forced speech yesterday he shared a Tweet from right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec from "Pizzagate" fame.

And now the manchild doubles down. The "alt-left" is also to blame for the death of one of its protesters at Charlottesville.

0:23 "What about the alt-left? They came charging at the, as you say, the alt-right. Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this: What about the fact they came charging, that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs, do they have any problem? I think they do." 0:50 "I think there is blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it..."



In a more comprehensive recording of the news conference Trump also found time for making a gratuitous insult when a reporter interrupted him: "Wait a minute. I haven't finished. I haven't finished, fake news."

And the best prognosis is that we'll have to endure another three years and five months of Trump's presidency. Second best is that Pence will replace him before then.
