Trumped

[Stradling]

We need term limits in a bad way right about now. 

[Ordos]

And they all play a game of, "Well, they did it first!" Disgusting.

The problem, I think is obvious, is that the federal employees just doing a job get cleared out (see: State Department), while the ones who really need to be "drained form the swamp" keep pulling this shit and screwing over the voters, while they keep getting re-elected.

[mtangelsfan]

It is just so adversarial.  It has been building up to this since the first Bush, IMO.  Exacerbated by the Clinton Impeachment, Bush II election and Obama.

The end result is the clown that is now President and the dems responding in kind.  I almost have no hope for this country.

[Ordos]

Feels improper to Like that comment...

Republicans passed two of Trumps picks without Dems being present at the senate committee today. They state they voted to ignore the rule because Dems willingly didn't show up 

I'm really curious as to what the Dems think they have accomplished.  Are they thinking that since they were not present then a legal challenge can be brought and therefore delay the process?

Were not they the ones complaining about the Republicans acting like idiots, holding up the process and denying the country positions that are necessary to move the country forward?

 

[Stradling]

Well maybe this will actually make the liberals regret not showing up and actually do their fucking job.  I'm not sure our politicians should be boycotting these types of things. 

[Ordos]

I really think they're just seeing what the GOP will do, so they know what they can get away with next time

Hold on a second...let's be accurate here. The Democrats boycotted the committee hearings because new information came to light after the questioning of Price and Mnuchin that they had potentially lied during their testimony.

In the case of Mnuchin it was related to robosigning and foreclosures and his statements that his bank did not utilize robosigning, of which later information made pretty clear his bank did.

In the case of Price, he stated he did not get discounts on stock purchases and the company stated that he did.

The Democrats were asking for additional time to investigate and understand why the statements of Mnuchin and Price did not match up with the new information including asking them for clarification. Republicans refused.

[Stradling]

Morons?  How bout you simply say the people who voted for him.  I'm sure there are a ton of people who are not morons that voted for him simply because they are tired of being gauged in taxes.  But no, they must be morons.  I guess it's as simple as referring to all democrats and liberals as snowflakes, despite the fact that some of them were Marines and deserve better.

I'll bet the morons who voted for him think that's pretty neat. 

Hey...at least he named dropped Freddie

I think you're being a little over-dramatic there MT.

Well, the election, it came out really well. Next time we’ll triple the number or quadruple it. We want to get it over 51, right? At least 51.

Well this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get-together. Hi Lynn, how are you? Just a few notes. During this month, we honor the tremendous history of African-Americans throughout our country. Throughout the world, if you really think about it, right? And their story is one of unimaginable sacrifice, hard work, and faith in America. I’ve gotten a real glimpse—during the campaign, I’d go around with Ben to a lot of different places I wasn’t so familiar with. They’re incredible people. And I want to thank Ben Carson, who’s gonna be heading up HUD. That’s a big job. That’s a job that’s not only housing, but it’s mind and spirit. Right, Ben? And you understand, nobody’s gonna be better than Ben.

Last month, we celebrated the life of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., whose incredible example is unique in American history. You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took the statue out of my office. It turned out that that was fake news. Fake news. The statue is cherished, it’s one of the favorite things in the—and we have some good ones. We have Lincoln, and we have Jefferson, and we have Dr. Martin Luther King. But they said the statue, the bust of Martin Luther King, was taken out of the office. And it was never even touched. So I think it was a disgrace, but that’s the way the press is. Very unfortunate.

I am very proud now that we have a museum on the National Mall where people can learn about Reverend King, so many other things. Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I noticed. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and millions more black Americans who made America what it is today. Big impact.

I’m proud to honor this heritage and will be honoring it more and more. The folks at the table in almost all cases have been great friends and supporters. Darrell—I met Darrell when he was defending me on television. And the people that were on the other side of the argument didn’t have a chance, right? And Paris has done an amazing job in a very hostile CNN community. He’s all by himself. You’ll have seven people, and Paris. And I’ll take Paris over the seven. But I don’t watch CNN, so I don’t get to see you as much as I used to. I don’t like watching fake news. But Fox has treated me very nice. Wherever Fox is, thank you.

We’re gonna need better schools and we need them soon. We need more jobs, we need better wages, a lot better wages. We’re gonna work very hard on the inner city. Ben is gonna be doing that, big league. That’s one of the big things that you’re gonna be looking at. We need safer communities and we’re going to do that with law enforcement. We’re gonna make it safe. We’re gonna make it much better than it is right now. Right now it’s terrible, and I saw you talking about it the other night, Paris, on something else that was really—you did a fantastic job the other night on a very unrelated show.

I’m ready to do my part, and I will say this: We’re gonna work together. This is a great group, this is a group that’s been so special to me. You really helped me a lot. If you remember I wasn’t going to do well with the African-American community, and after they heard me speaking and talking about the inner city and lots of other things, we ended up getting—and I won’t go into details—but we ended up getting substantially more than other candidates who had run in the past years. And now we’re gonna take that to new levels. I want to thank my television star over here—Omarosa’s actually a very nice person, nobody knows that. I don’t want to destroy her reputation but she’s a very good person, and she’s been helpful right from the beginning of the campaign, and I appreciate it. I really do. Very special.

So I want to thank everybody for being here.

I didn't know Jose Mota was writing Trump's speeches.

[mulwin444]

Damn, that was a painful read...must have been more uncomfortable to sit through.  Painful!

Hopefully, he brought his hype squad with him.

[Taylor]

I think Trump thinks that Frederick Douglas is still alive.

I saw it. Those comments lasted 3 seconds.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Reading that transcript, it looks like he's just talking to the crowd candidly instead of using some fake prepared bullshit. The CNN comments or whatever indeed look like about 3 seconds long in a light hearted manner.

 

Trying to make that look bad is just plain stupid.

Agreed. Trump does a good enough job of making himself look bad as it is.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I believe that this fits our chief executive. Diagnostic criteria from the DSM-V.

[Tank]

trump needs to have a script. his unscripted, off-the-cuff comments are going to sink his boat. it's like listening to a real-time twitter feed.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I was really hoping that voices of reason would begin to prevail once Trump was sworn it. However, he seems bent on removing anyone who doesn't agree with him 100 percent on everything.

[Thomas]

Using that criteria has this country ever NOT been a fascist state?

[Adam]

The fact that we can scream and yell. protest, etc... without fear of repercussion illustrates that we're not a fascist state.
