THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

I expect any day, you will be singing praises of Kellyanne and her alternative facts....

Kellyanne Conway is something else.

Obviously.......it's not crying, or band-wagoning, or nitpicking to acknowledge that the words spoken publicly by the U.S. President (and other public leaders and representatives) matter when it comes to key issues, like foreign relations, crime, human and civil rights... Not every word/statement is a big deal, but some undoubtedly are a big deal.

Trump, Conway, and some of their devotees love to try to shame people who don't just swallow their 'alternative facts', otherwise known as lies and misinformation, by doubling down on the bullshit and insisting the truth-tellers are "HATERS!"

Case in point: Today, Trump once again repeated one of his favorite 'alternative facts' to justify some of his controversial proposals which restrict or infringe upon innocent people's rights.

He said that the murder rate in the United States is the highest it's been in 47 years. That was some major bullshit when he first said it and it's still some major bullshit.

The murder rate was the lowest since 1980 in 2014. It grew slightly in 2015, but 2015 was still much lower than 47 years ago. 2015 is the year in question; the year the latest stats are available. No matter how many times the fact is presented and the lie debunked, some blockheads believe and defend the lie because President Trump said it.

I still am unable to understand why some apparently functional, fairly smart people, can sit and see this circus play out on National News and not have the same perception as I do. I think it was Spy who said I would get along with Aussie (and I am sure I would). She has common sense which some people on Mock lack...but I don't have to go all the way to Australia to make a friend. Statistically, more people agree with my political views than the posters here on Mock....so I would think that most of these Trumpanzees would have more problems making friends out in real world.... Why are so many posters on here Trumptards? I don't necessarily think that, but they are more vocal on here for whatever reason.....but not reflected in latest approval ratings for Trump, etc...so I don't listen to someone who finds credibility in what Trump or his right hand woman , Kellyanne, and the guy who tricked Trump into assigning himself a seat on the Natl Security Council....Steve Bannon....I have even questioned Trump's ability to read to maybe him having a learning disability, which is O.K., but he would never admit it.

I think it was Sally who questioned why we were having a discussion on every little thing Trump has said....well, therein, lies the problem...most liars lie over the big stuff....pathological liars lie about the little and big stuff......he has a need to lie over the tiniest little details.....this is indicative that he has one certifiable mental disorder (per the latest DSM). I think in Trump's case, he has other disorders which deem him unfit for office (especially the WH).....I further think it is disgraceful the way oridinary politicians are now working to salvage their political carreers, rather than working for the people...why are some (only 30% plus) if we look at latest approval ratings of Trump, which means approx 70% believe he should be impeached or lead out the front door by force....

ISIS has called him a fool.....the UK Parliament decided they didn't want him to visit......wow, i guess him being cozy with Putin and Israel's guy will resolve some of those issues according to some of you.....No, it is not a bad thing, but alienating all of your allies is a bad thing and to trust a snake like Putin is not very smart given Putin's history....If I were Trump, I wouldn't be accepting the traditional vodka toast while visiting Russia...they do know their poisons.....and I think some people actually don't know or don't believe how many deaths Putin has caused and I am not talking about those killed in invasions of other countries. I am talking about his cohorts who disagree with his politics, journalists who write unfavorable stuff about him, etc.....this is a big deal to me.....this country has always stood for freedom...I am not going to list them, but I always felt proud that we were a democracy in a Republic.....Now, not so much. Even the head guy in Iran said, that the man who is now President of US, shows him what he has always known, that Americans are not really the good guys, but bad dudes. Yeah, I know, he certainly has no room to talk, but when he says he now knows the persona the US has always presented has been a farce, that is a little much...those countries who hate us will always have a reason to hate us, but it now has the ring of truth when I see the behaviors and foul rhetoric coming from the seat of this great country.....Trump has demeaned the integrity of the U.S.

Thanks Hair.....I always wait for you to explain something I can't or to put someone in their place ever so nicely. You don't play favorites but you are a kind, fair person with great communication skills. I always manage to learn something from you.


Keep up the good work.......Gosh darn it, I didn't mean to write a book....before anyone else says it, yes, i have a big mouth and I need to be more concise...

Anyone still falling in step behind this guy are as nutty as he is. He used his personal twitter account and then the POTUS twitter account to condemn Nordstrom's because they didn't renew a contract to sell his daughter's jewelry. The POTUS tweet especially has people up in arms over the abuse of power and conflict of interest.

I have money in that he's going to get impeached so the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

We have to be careful what we wish for. I have this awful feeling that Pence would be even worse.

Ya think? Pence will try to take away gay rights. I can deal with some trump bullshit in order for others to have the same rights I do. That's only one of my concerns. Pence is quiet and flies under the radar mostly but if he pops his self righteous head up I'll give him a little smack too.

You ladies crack me up with how you hang on every word that comes out of the White House, just waiting to get all worked up over the next preposterous thing that's uttered.

The fact that you think Pence might actually be worse than Trump just strikes me as almost inconceivable (and really funny).

[Duchess]

Shut up, nigga.

I can't recall who just recently explained that impeachment not possible (maybe Maxine Walters) because Democrats lack votes necessary to make this reality.....We know that Trumpanzees are not going to vote for what is right, but rather what will benefit their jobs the very most.

I think Pence would be easier to control....He has worked in politics and doesn't have same mental health issues....whenever he uses his religion to change laws, policies, he can be held accountable for violation of Constitution.
In Trump's case, he is not held accountable and I think fellow Republicans would have easier time to vote against Pence, e.g. approval of Secretary of Education yesterday,,,,,two Republicans jumped ship and Pence broke tie......but think more would would vote against Pence than they do now with Trump.......I still don't know why they all feel so intimidated by Trump...maybe because he is so unpredictable and crazy.....

In typical Trump family obsession with money, there must be so many business deals going on within WH.....oh, they are putting money in the pocket....but to call out Nordstrom's for pulling Ivanka's line of clothing, etc. is such a tacky move even for Fuckface Trump........this daily display of being uncouth is making me sick (or sicker).....

And turtle face, Mitch McConnell stops E. Warren from finishing her reading of words of MLK's widow during past appointment (which was not approved at the time) based on Sessions' civil rights record...Maybe he is a changed man, but why take the risk when there are better qualified candidates out there.....

[Midwest Spy]

Shut up, nigga.

I like Trumpanzee and Nigga.

Unfortunately, most Chimps and Niggaz didn't vote for Donald.

They're the backbone of Hill's voter base.

[Duchess]

I know. I have a different word for those that did.

[BigMark]

It depends.
