So unamerican

More American than those who refused to stand and, quite frankly, the fact that he took the time to complain about it makes him more American than the ones who didn't.

Does this have to be constant? Or is it an off and on sort of thing?

For me there is constant ringing in my ears.

Wasn't the narrative "there was no Russian meddling?" When did the goalposts get changed to "there was meddling but what is the problem?"

Once the kids were forced to admit they set up a meeting hoping to get dirt from Russia on Hillary because they wanted Trump to win.

thats just them getting information from someone. shouldn't even be a crime.

if it had been some random american nobody would have made a fuss

Honestly, it probably won't turn up anything and, even if it does, it's extremely unlikely to link anything to Trump. People have tried to spin it as the mere decision for Don Jr to meet with the lawyer constitutes a crime but, if that was the case, we'd probably have heard more of it by now.

DNC hack:
was as inside job trying to masquerade as Russian hacking. an intelligence group called VIPS proved that point a month ago, that is was 99% inside job--Russians not involved. since then, we have heard nothing again about Russia conspiracy: no rebuttal to VIPS findings, no MSM articles decrying Trump and Russia ties.

Mueller Special Counsel for Russia Investigation:
months and months of investigation, yet no concrete evidence of Trump collusion with Russia. best they could find was circumstantial evidence that Trump Jr. may have met with Russian lawyer that one time. again, nothing substantial from this angle. on the other hand, in the same time frame, this same special counsel uncovered more DNC corruption amongst some of Clinton's closest advisors.

What's that saying? When you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at yourself.

Are you comparing a US network for US audiences talking about world politics to a country using its covert operations to actively spread misinformation to another country to sway a election?

John Oliver literally did a segment explicitly stating directly to Canadians not to vote for Stephen Harper. Canadians make up at least 10% of his audience.

There is no evidence to support that the Russian government was involved in the election misinformation in the US. Are you telling me Russian basement dwelling gopniks have a more powerful media and social impact than international network prime time television?

Seems like he's taking advantage of his relation for attention.

I bet it was a hurricane Harvey joke

How do you get banned from 4chan?! Did you say Rick and Morty sucks?

Is it really that bad? Guys let me explain: this is a cosplayer cosplaying something. I don't think it's real blood.

I miss all the good stuff now :(

We now know now that a city that believed it was ready for flooding, wasn't.

This should be an eye opener. How many other cities are vulnerable for heavy storm flooding? Especially those already prone to flooding and coastal.

It was just a flub of a response, but her overall point is there.

This dude tryna tell us how to live our lives?

You guys

Stop

Borderline harassment

Not to make light of the situation but I had a guildmate in World of Warcraft who lives in Florida. She and her family prefers dealing with hurricanes instead of earthquakes in the west coast. I think her reasoning is one could be aware of and prepare for said hurricane whereas an earthquake can hit without warning at which point you can only open your earthquake kit is adequate.

But honestly, regardless of what warnings are given, how can one truly prepare for a disaster of this magnitude? Even with flooding insurance and whatnot it gotta get mentality and physical exhausting eventually. I can only hope all the affected citizens will recover in one way or another.

So is the fake dinosaur thing but I've found both to be funny. He's posted at least one picture of himself before and he is not 400+ pounds.

Jesus Christ, this is why I stay in the Geeks topics. Blogfaqs, holy shit. How do you idiots know so much about each other, and remember it to boot?

You all realize this is a bait topic right?

But he has spectacularly failed due to his own refusal to work and refusal/inability to learn about the bills he wants to pass and campaign those bills to get support for them to pass.

No, his problems are largely because the Freedom Caucus and similar factions make it impossible to do much of anything within his own party. It's the same group that gave Obama so much trouble. They're the group that would sooner shut down the government than fund the ACA.

And, at the same time, he's faced tremendous obstructionism from Democrats who have filibustered almost every single nomination he's made including his SCOTUS nominee (even after making a big show of protesting Merrick Garland's treatment).

One of the jobs of president is to be a salesman. To get behind a plan and campaign on it to get support. He was not willing to do so and was not willing to learn the things he needed to in order to do so.

Last I was aware only one of his nominees did not get approved, and that was because he was a shitlord even Republicans didn't like. Might be more, but I can't recall hearing about it which is odd since the media likes stories of Trump failing. The issue is not democrats filibustering, but him not being able to find people to nominate because no one is willing to work for someone so horrifically incompetent. In some cases his lack of nominees seems intentional as he has no interest in the government functioning properly. (See the state department and thanking Putin for saving him money after expelling US diplomats)

Trump is staggeringly incompetent and lazy. You can't shift the blame to democrats.

Which is a funny comment to make when you spent the last 8 years blaming Republicans whenever something went wrong. That aside, Trump has a far greater challenge than Obama ever did given that he has much (if not most) of the ideological opposition Obama faced in addition to having heavy opposition from the Democrats. But otherwise sure, it is ultimately down to the president even when the other side explicitly refuses to work with them.

However, at the same time, we're a little over 7 months into Trump's presidency so there's still a lot of time for things to change, particularly given that his nominations were filibustered so he didn't have a lot of relevant seats filled. Keep in mind that at this point in Obama's presidency, other than passing the ACA (which, by the way, was a total disaster; it makes Trump's early months look good by comparison even if he couldn't repeal it -- after all, it's a lot easier to add an entitlement than remove one) some of his most newsworthy things involved calling Kanye West a jackass and inflaming race relations by siding against the police without any context leading to the infamous Beer Summit,

He could have phrased it better, but events like this are absolutely 100% the time to talk about climate change.

No. No it isn't.

Because to you there is never a time to.

How about you wait till Houston is no longer underwater to stroke your ego?
