The Trump Presidency Discussion Thread (Non-Meme version)

that’s good work

He literally using all the things he’s complaining people using politically and using them politically back at those people.

and the whole religion is gone, and people don’t respect women stuff… come on.

Rep Wilson is a nutjob. She responded and said that the term “empty barrel” is racist… That was her rebuttal.

I’m really enjoying the left suddenly liking Bush 43.

I think it’s more that the left would happily swap Trump out for him again at this point.

He was literally Hitler for 8 years but now he’s not so bad. :lol:

Empty Barrel is my new favorite term.

No one in the ADS mentioned any racial ties to the word. And there’s nothing available to the amateur Internet sleuth that would suggest there is any sort of racial connotation tied to the phrase either. An email to Wilson’s office seeking an answer to why Wilson believed the term to be racist was not returned.

Even CNN says it’s not racist: http://archive.is/MSbhC#selection-607.4-607.312

And if anyone really thinks Trump doesn’t know how to handle a call like this, watch the following video.

Gold star widow Natasha De Alencar released the audio of a phone conversation she had with President Donald Trump in April about the death of her husband who was killed in Afghanistan.

This phone call drama is over the top, but so is their response to it. What a fucking circus this whole thing is.

The recording of trumps call was released last night. One of the most respectful calls I’ve ever heard in my life. Proof that he was actually engaged in the phone call is that he recognized her son was accepted on an academic scholarship for football and not a sports scholarship for football. I didn’t catch that until Trump said something about it.

That’s the call I posted above and was from April not from this specific call in question. I think you confused them.

Yep. Again more distractions though. Consider the ISIS capital falling, stock market record close (again), movement on tax reform (or cuts), and who could forget about the Clinton’s taking Russian money that hardly anyone is reporting on.

When you see “emotional smoke screen stories” like this phone call thing, from BOTH Trump and the media & Democrats, you have to consider what’s not being talked about because of it.

no, he was an idiot for 8 years (even Trump said this, right). but he was a more lovable idiot.

That’s a neat revision of history considering the hate that came from the left for 8 years of Bush.

Quit fighting over Bush and help me pick a wall design:

I like the two with the open slats at the bottom. They let the small wildlife cross while letting Mexico actually see that the grass is greener on the other side. Probably easier to cut though so I’ll go with upper right.

what are the thoughts on why the US is revoking William Browder’s visa?

anything apart from handing Putin a favor?

Thoughts on John Kelly getting the facts wrong during his little speech?

He should have stopped before talking about the FBI building thing. Now the issue is overshadowed by his mis-remembering the situation.

      • Updated - - -

He’s been cleared to travel.

He had been put on Interpol’s wanted list. That, rightfully, would revoke his Visa. The whole thing got cleared up in short order.

Only thought is that it’s more #FakeNews
He never had a US Visa. Russia added him to a list which got him temporarily banned like anyone else who ends up on a list.

As for empty barrel Wilson…

He was wrong. She also continued her speech and honored the fallen during it.

You’ve got to be able to admit when you’re wrong.

I still despise Rep Wilson for that move. I still think that listening to that call was politically motivated. I still think the widowed woman disliked Trump from the beginning. Maybe not that her intent was to slam Trump or use her husband’s death for her own gain. Not saying that at all. Having Rep Wilson be on that call shows that she was not optimistic about the call with Trump, though. Trump never stood a chance on that phone call.

Are you new here?
