So...trump used his 1st press briefing to lie and complain about media

[Jjz1109]

C'mon, you run in a pack of your own with Julie from Naples, Mercury Girl, Kingjf64 et al.: your knee jerk is on the right side, not on the left.
If you don't like the media, turn 'em off.
Wacky world of LPSG politics? Then why are you posting here?

You disappoint me Chrysippus. I thought you were different from the many hardcore here. Apparently, I misjudged you. With due respect to the others you mention ny name, I don't run with anyone. We hardly acknowledge each other, or hit the "Like" button with the pitiful frequency of others here who must show their knee jerk solidarity. I speak for myself. If you need to lump everyone together who doesn't follow your lead, so be it. Appreciate the tolerance for open discussion.

Later.

More on tonight's NBC Nightly News on Trump's ridiculously pathetic claim that "millions of illegals" voted (presumably against him) in November's election. One's got to wonder what kind of psychosis is at play in his inability to reconcile the FACT that he LOST the popular vote by 2.8 MILLION votes.

White House Press Secretary Doubles Down on Trump's Debunked Illegal Voter Claim - NBC News

No doubt this kind of thinking has something to do with your average BIGOT'S notion of WHOSE vote should matter, whose should matter LESS, or not count at ALL (for example, see the ridiculous supposition in post no. 40), and for that matter, WHO should count as "real Americans" ANYWAY.

Which explains why THEY work so hard to suppress the votes of blacks, Latinos, and the poor, or pull some underhanded shit like they did in N. Carolina, to divest a newly elected Democrat governor of his powers. It's how they ROLL.

Speaking of which, maybe Trump figures that if he starts a shit-storm over the vote and so-called "illegal votes" then maybe the country won't NOTICE him killing environmental regulations, defunding world health organizations that provide health care to women (on the grounds that they also provide for abortions), or starting a brouhaha with China over islands in their region, or resurrecting two highly controversial and environmentally questionable pipeline projects, or ordering a complete media blackout with the EPA and a number of other agencies, and MORE, all done at his whim and with the stroke of the pen.

Can't think what yesterday was, maybe day two and hey what folks, it wasn't about America it was all about TRUMP.
So if you want to know what's what don't get mesmerised by the perm-tan, the candy floss fair or even the perfect false teeth in that very active mouth (doesn't help lip readers much as its far to mobile) just keep your attention on what his finger is stabbing.
(mainly the tax paying Americans) while he fucks up relationships with other world powers Russia excepted.
So, watch the broader picture, ignore the posturing and note the pudgy finger (perfectly manicured, possibly by a Latvian immigrant) while he makes work for his lawyer friends.

Our fucked up system? And you live in Canada? lol

If you removed the leftest idiots out of two small areas of America Trump would have had the popular vote also. Start with LA, CA and NYC. Sure we want LA idiots and NYC fools running America.
Were not a Democracy, Maybe you need to study what type of government we are.

If you think your country is so much better than ours then why do 77% of Canadians live within 150 miles of the American border? Easy access to a great Country maybe?
No need to answer I know you empty answer.

Wow! is your ignorance ever showing. Any election systems in which the person with the most votes does not win is fucked up.
Yes I live in Canada.....where everyone has good medical care, where we don't have guns and mass shooting running rampant, where we have laws to protect people from hate speech. Oh yes, terrible place.

Why do we live so close to the border? It's called geography. St. Lawrence Seaway (you'll most likely have to look that up) The great lakes.....and weather. Our cities and towns didn't just recently appear over night. They were built years before America was claiming to be so great. Trust me, Canadians are proud of their differences and do not wish to be American's. That said, I find most Americans I have come in contact with to be very nice friendly people. The country is full of wonderful scenery and great National Parks (that I have to admit, are run better than ours)

Trump lied is way to the presidency and is continuing to do so. He's building on hate and fear. And look at the unbelievably unqualifed people that Trump is appointing. The woman he's putting in charge of education has zero experience or knowledge of the field or running a large department of any kind. And she thinks rural schools need guns to protect student's from "grizzlies"!!!

Typical excuses. Have fun in Canada.

^ ... and again we thank you for your USUAL well informed reply.

 

[chrysler fanatic]

The problem is, Trump cares--and lies--about it. Not a good sign of things to come.

Yeah. I can't fathom why he gives a shit.
Such a weird dude.
He got my vote for 2nd amendment reasons, but I sure hope he will do a decent job.

That is why you voted for him? Like what were you panicked was going to happen to the 2nd amendment under a Democrat?

I could understand if you wanted to pursue abortion restrictions or something, but why are you scared they're coming for your guns under a Dem even though that never happens?

Because the NRA. Say what you will, they're good at what they do.

Simply a man who is obsessed with media attention.........

You're doing battle with the new Trumpian "Ugly American". You will notice they hit more than one type.

There Are 6 Types of 'Ugly American'—and Donald Trump Is All of Them

So, is DJT channeling George III or Ludwig of Bavaria?

I'm hoping for Ludwig. If nothing else, maybe he'll sponsor the next Wagner.

I never said any of that.
I had a choice between Hillary and Trump.
I dislike both on every issue except when it came to 2nd amendment stuff.
Then I dislike one and not the other.
I vote by pros and cons.
I had a written list with one pro on it.
So that was my vote.
