Yep I'm over it. I've never seen Somone kick sand in their own eyes as much as trump.
i honestly don't see the issue
anything less would have been devoured long ago and we would be watching hillary sell icbm's to saudi and iran cause they pay her foundation the most

Why does he have nothing better to do than troll comey and Rosie?
He's on a trioll. Some resonate and some flop. I found the tweet to be very cringeworthy but damn if I'm not interested to see how it plays out.
For example, This is a orrery good argument the Comey thing had some strategy.

The left loves those Republican leaders who pretend they are above the fray and allow themselves to get the hell beat out of them.
There has got to be a republican somewhere between spineless and unhinged. Somewhere.
A sitting President publicly threatening an outgoing FBI Director in hopes of keeping him quiet. Trump is unhinged.
Reports also that Trump is thinking about canceling White House press briefings. Might be a good thing for his staff, who he continues to hang out to dry every time he changes his story. Not so great for the American people though.
It is amateur hour at the White House right now.

At the national level, other than Reagan (and Newt Gingrich a bit in the mid 90s), Republicans have allowed Democrats to completely control / dominate the narrative for the past 30+ years. (Which is managed and enforced by the corporate media - which can be neo-conservative or neo-liberal depending on circumstances and needs)
That's why Trump literally drives the left insane (his refusal to play by long-established rules creates massive levels of cognitive dissonance throughout much of the population).
And it's why it *feels* like the Democrats are running things (other than Trump having a small bridgehead) --- in actual numerical results, the Democrats have performed catastrophically bad other than Obama winning in 2008.
Below is the cold, clinical reality that you would never know without independent thinking (and is still hard to believe, because of ingrained and maintained perceptions) -- Democrats have the least real power since the civil war:
Republicans Now Control Record Number of State Legislative Chambers
By Barbara Hollingsworth | November 16, 2016 | 4:47 PM EST
(CNSNews.com) – Republicans added to their historic 2014 gains in the nation’s state legislatures with the addition of five state House chambers and two state Senate chambers in last week’s election, while Democratic control was reduced to levels not seen since the Civil War.
Republicans are now in control of a record 67 (68 percent) of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers in the nation, more than twice the number (31) in which Democrats have a majority, according to the bipartisan National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL).
“That’s more than at any other time in the history of the Republican Party,” according to NCSL. “They also hold more total seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920."

Everybody has to have something to do when taking a sh*t. Duh
POTUS has diarrhea....of the brain. Puts every thought in his head out there for everyone to see as soon as the thought pops up.
Could you imagine working for him?
Poor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump throws her out to give the official line, and then he completely undercuts her.
I bet Spicer is happy he had reserve duty.

A black lady who actually worked for Trump and his family for years described the reality of it -- not the "imaginary" (your words) reality.
It was clips like this that caused people tune out the media and vote for him. (5 million views of this clip alone -- many millions more of it on Facebook)
The establishment is deeply embedded. Perhaps it takes someone with Trump attitude/ego/spirit to actually beat them these days. Remember back during the campaign when Trump went full-blown nuclear against the deep state? Many thought he was crazy but he went on to win. Who else would have adopted such slash-and-burn tactics among the other Republicans running? And, who died and left the mainstream media and their Democrat friends in charge of how we have to do things? F 'em.

that right there is the stuff of drama queens
in other news multiple hollywood elites have made good on threats to move to canada
Probably ghost written just like all his books.
Do number of views translate into true and accurate for you?
I'm fascinated by continual posting of number of views as if how many people that have seen it bolsters the credibility of the content. I don't get it.
let's not throw the baby out with the bath water
trump employs thousands, went thru a savage campaign yet nary a whisper from discontent or jilted employees
one would think that an orchard of low hanging fruit
Maybe it's that he is known for requiring all employees to sign an NDA and threatening to destroy them with litigation if they come close to violating it.
How much do you think she was compensated for that video or did she do it out of Trump love?
Why shouldn't I believe her?
In the video, there is photo after photo of her with the Trump family and their children (and she provides photos of her Dad -- who she says grew up in Birmingham Alabama, and became a Yale Doctor - she specifically identifies)
Should I have dismissed her and accepted this reality description instead?

I agree. Musing about stopping White House press briefings and threatening an outgoing FBI Director on twitter is the stuff of drama queens.
It sure isn't presidential.
nda wouldn't stop leaks or common knowledge of cultural malfeasance
not arguing the voracity of the specific video
not arguing trump inc is candy land either
but it is awful quiet at his sweatshops

I didn't say you shouldn't believe her.
I would respectfully suggest that maybe you might consider critically evaluating it with a skeptical eye instead of just accepting it because "why not". You know....like you Huffpo, NYT, and all the other "conventional wisdom" you have rejected.
Now about the "number of views" question of mine. I can't help but noticed you quoted it (so you saw it), but studiously avoided responding to that.
You are aware that there are plentiful reports of "cultural malfeasance" in his organizations right? They get dismissed as "fake news".
I'm not saying he's the devil, but it's not really as quiet as you seem to be suggesting.
Ok.
But you were asking people to imagine working for him (you didn't specify the timeframe).
The lady above described working for him -- if you're interested in what it's like working for Trump and his family, perhaps you could listen to her clip.
I would be more critical of her if it was just her talking, and not showing photo-after-photo of herself with the Trump family and their children -- it's kind of hard to fabricate that (and fabricate her Dad being a doctor at Yale -- most people also don't lie about battling addiction).
You're right about views not making content more credible overall, and agree with needing to be critical.
Also, I didn't reject Huff Po or NYT -- it's a lot worse than that.
As an example, listen to the predictions below.
Do you think they actually believed what they were saying? Or were they trying to manufacture a fake reality?
He is now President isn't he? The context of this thread is about actions he is taking as President . . . not CEO. Hence the comment about Sarah Huckabee Sanders in the same post.
Was those who were predicting a Romney victory in 2012 attempting to manufacture a fake reality?...
Romney and his supporters were sure they were going to win right up to the last minute. Want to talk about Karl Rove's meltdown on Fox News when Obama was declared the winner??...
It's called politics NZ Poke.
I was just illustrating what takes place in almost every election. It is called politics. One side thinks they are going to win while the other side thinks they are going to win. And the talking heads on both sides give their opinion. It isn't some big conspiracy. It is politics in the United States.
It is funny how you question certain media sources while embracing other media sources that engage in the exact same activity you supposedly have a problem with.

I've spent about a week here now.
Every single thread I've read includes examples of this tactic, and you are one of the most frequent to employ it.
I can tell you one thing. If I worked for Trump, and he was a shitty boss, I wouldn't go public with the information. He is a bully. He is litigious. He is unable to let criticism roll off his back.
And just because one individual loved working for him does not mean that there were not 10 who had the opposite experience.

That's fine if you want to think that, but I'm not part of the huge demographic that's struggling with reality.

Yeah. You are an excellent example of an individual who is grounded in reality.
If voting for Hill or Bern means you are grounded in reality then point me toward the straight jackets. I need to change my wardrobe.
This should have been done over the phone or through someone not over Twitter. Dumb
Re: Views not equaling credibility....then why do you so often post the number of views of videos to bolster their credibility? And if you're not doing it for that reason, why are you?
Re: critical thinking....This week you've posted the greatest a quote from a known Nazi sympathizer and when called out on it professed to have no idea who he was or his background. Then we had the shadowy Jewish stereotype cartoon over a meme of six or nine magazines spread out over 24 years portrayed as an organized attack...taken from /pol/...an account using some obviously Naziesque iconography. Then professed to have not "caught" any of that when you posted it.
Actions like that suggest to me that you're not really thinking critically about the narratives you are meme warfare copying and pasting. Maybe....just maybe....quality over quantity should be something you consider pursuing.
