Trump press conference a thing of beautiful chaos or nah

[Seshmeister]

It's scary and fun, it's like it's a show.
It's like Ricky gervaise started a new character.

More like Brass Eye.

Surprised that Brass Eye is still quite edgy after all these years...

Trump boasting about getting a much higher proportion of the black vote than expected, 8%.

Clearly, "the blacks" LOVE Trump...well, at least slightly less than 10% of them do, anyway.

Let's see, those blacks include:

Omarosa
Kanye West
Steve Harvey



...actually, I think that's about it...


...oh yeah, also Herman "Uzbecky-becky-stan" Cain!

Fact check

Watching the press conference, I was reminded about an interview Philip Roth recently gave, where he lamented the fact that Trump has what appears to be a 77 word vocabulary, and the manner in which Trump delivers his finite configurations of those 77 words could best be described as Jerkish rather than English.

Honestly, it's even more depressing to watch and listen to Trump speak than it is his principal surrogates. While Priebus, Spicer and Conway traded away what little credibility they had to start with for access to the Trump campaign and presidency, Trump himself is just...what? Deluded? A bullshit huckster? Still overly focused on his campaign victory (hence his continual revisiting of it in interviews)? Clueless as to how to run the White House? Surrounded by wealthy political amateurs, hacks and hams? All of that plus a dozen things I didn't list?

However, I would agree with Trump that Flynn lying to Pence and equivocating afterward was reason enough in and of itself for Flynn's dismissal.

I'm trying to be positive in that they eventually managed to get through to him that a nuclear holocaust was a bad thing.

I just picture the staff saying 'Wait how did they manage it with Reagan?' and then digging out an old VHS tape of that 'The Day After' show again and putting it on his TV...

It's still fucking extraordinary that these people can end up in power though...

"The Day After" is on YouTube. Maybe somebody should send a tweet to Cheeto and let him know?

[cadaverdog]

Ask Von Hagar why he voted for that piece of shit....

Because it was his right as a citizen of The United States of America to vote for whoever he wanted?

[cadaverdog]

Cheeto is so goddamned clueless that he probably thinks the West Bank is where NuttyYahoo has a checking account.

Yet he's the President of the United States while you're just another sniveling liberal complaining about him to a small handful of people who aren't going to do a damn thing about it.

[cadaverdog]

He tooted his own horn a few times to many but otherwise that was a decent speech IMO.

He's 70 years old and it really seems like it's only been in the last couple of months he's started to think that torture and using nuclear weapons are both not good ideas.

I'm not even talking about morally not good, I mean they are clearly and empirically really fucking stupid things to do.

Maybe that was something you could ague in the past but it seems to me that there were quite a lot of people marching against Trump just the other week

And of course even despite massive attempts to stop black and poor people to vote more people voted against him than for him...

I honestly can't believe you didn't think he came across as foolish , immature and to be honest kind of stupid.

Nuclear holocaust is the worst type of holocaust.... thanks for that Einstein.

Don't worry.... Pat says it's all in God's plan!

Dead Intern Scarborough says his former colleagues are in panic mode

FWIW, Republicans on the Hill were panicked behind the scenes by Trump's performance today.

One unnamed Republican said (off the record) "we're just trying to deal with this shit" in reference to Drumpf...
