Hey Cheeto. You were just sworn in, you fucking moron. That means it's time to stop campaigning. And (pretend to) do the job.

And today [Trump] sends out his press secretary Spicer for the sole purpose of denying that the size of the crowd at the Trump Inauguration was anything less than yuge, following his own bizarre press conference at the CIA where [Trump] felt the need to address the same topic. In both instances, the claim was made that "the media" were deliberately making distorted estimates of the crowd sizes (by way of claiming they were smaller than they really were) to intentionally undermine public enthusiasm for the incoming administration...
First off, I didn't really care about the crowd sizes one way or the other when they were mentioned in either the Times or the WSJ this morning, and even less so when televised newscasts throughout the day would make the comparisons: who gives a shit? Any Clinton voter taking the comparisons and trying to make a single strand of political hay out of them in terms of meaning is undertaking a Fool's Errand.
What WAS disconcerting was not so much that Trump felt the need to try and disprove the emerging media consensus on the size of his Inaugural crowd being smaller than the one in 2009 - clearly Trump will respond to any and all criticisms, which is certainly his right to do, wisdom of such a tactic to one side - but that he decided to pick a speech in front of the CIA at the Central Intelligence building to do it. Particularly considering his own public relationship with both the Agency and indeed the entire intelligence community has been contentious at best: the public speech he gave at Central Intelligence demonstrated Trump in an off-the-cuff, rambling and unconnected manner regarding his choice of topic(s). He would have been better served limiting his comments to Intelligence Community concerns.
Then to send Spicer out to restate the same dubious claims Trump made earlier just makes the whole White House approach to this crowd size "topic" seem overblown, defensive and not in command of the facts, much the same way the supposed tens of thousands of bikers Trump referenced who were going to turn up at the Inauguration turned out to be bunk.
A shame Trump can't seem to avoid swinging at every pitch, even those that are clearly in the dirt. Some may claim it's just Trump's way of changing the conversation or keeping the media/general public interested by continually flashing new, shiny objects. Honestly, I think Trump's ego is something even he can't control in terms of self-defensive grandiosity. He is seemingly unable to let any criticism pass unanswered. Swinging at every pitch in the dirt and being more concerned with how you look swinging is a good way of missing the ball altogether.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Donald Trump wasn't a politician when he made those remarks. Guys talk shit when woman aren't around. You post at a website that has an entire forum dedicated to objectifying women. You're as guilty as Trump is of sexism. You're a David Lee Roth fan. The same guy who brags about fucking your girlfriend if you piss him off.Last edited by cadaverdog; 01-22-2017, 03:55 AM.Beware of DogComment
