Sessions Testimony

Discussion in 'Politics' started by Tsing Tao, Jun 13, 2017.

  1. Personally, and humbly, I believe Sessions is an awesome AG. Great pick, as well as many others. I truly believe you guys are seriously underestimating Trump (and his movement).

    Only time can tell.

    I'm just caving. For a party that is accused 24/7 of racism, bad optics in 21st century for anybody that looks and talks like that. I like the guy, but when I see and listen to him I have to check, Is this guy a racist? I knew too many like him in days of old, and he is one of the few who survived and is still against pot. He needs to get high and join the hippie movement.

    Which part of that stems from Trump's DNA? The Jack or the dude?

    Not sure about Trump, but i can say with 100% certainty that Trudeau was spawned from 2 eggs, there is no way a male was ever involved in that situation.

    does his feminine side make you insecure? I think he and Macron are the real deals. Certainly squeezed the shit out of Donald's little hand, huh?

    HAHAHAHAHA, omg, so you seriously think "Trudeau" is the real deal? Is he the first PM you ever saw or just the first Female PM?

    This is the kind of garbage im talking about with Trump, people like you are willing to say you think Trudeau is the best thing since sliced bread, while Trump is retarded.

    Put it this way if you could make the choice today as to whether Trump, or Trudeau would run your newly founded company would you actually pick Trudeau?

    This is the kind of thing that shatters your credibility, Trudeau was probably "bartending" at many of the bars that Trump actually built....... which one do you think has more "chops" as a leader?

    Trump became one of the top 1000 richest people on earth, running a multi billion dollar empire, Trudeau became a bartender. Which one seems more ridiculous to lead a country? Which one has less leadership experience?

    ouch that must have stung. Mate, I have not said anything about Trump in the post you quoted me other than joked about the hand shake "match" he had with Macron. Come on you gotta admit, it was hilarious to watch when Macron approached the remaining G7 heads and Trump positioned himself at the front center in anticipation. Macron walked straight to Mutti and gave her the good old European hug, shook hands of couple other heads of state and then moved to Trump to squeeze she shit out of Donald's little palm.

    Check it out, absolutely priceless:

    To answer your other questions:

    - Absolutely would I pick Trudeau to run my company if I could only choose between him and Trump. No pathological liars have a place in my company. Simple as that.
    - Trudeau runs circles around Trump when it comes to present-ability, honor of word, trust, reliability, maturity, charisma and governing experience.
    - Absolutely does Trump appear to be more ridiculous to lead a country. A guy who tells everyone "boy I did not know this job would be this hard" 50 or so days into the US presidency...a guy who tweets at 3am in the mornings, a guy who only smiles and agrees with you when you tell him how great and handsome he is? Pretty ridiculous in my book if you ask me.

  10. Newt Gingrich: The media and elites still don't understand Trump

    After nearly five months of his presidency, the liberal media and the Washington establishment still don’t understand Donald J. Trump.

    President Trump is different from any political leader we’ve seen in the presidency – at least since Andrew Jackson (1828-36). As a result, reporters and those in the elite political class literally have no idea how to understand him. Each day, they are faced with a president who doesn’t fit the norms of politics as usual, and their persistent instinct has been to attack.

    I have watched this hostility since then-candidate Trump announced his bid for the presidency at Trump Tower nearly two years ago on Understanding Trump, which was released Tuesday.

    In fact, President Trump’s candidacy announcement, as I explain in the first chapter [CM2] of "Understanding Trump," is a great case study on how completely incapable the D.C. media insiders have been in comprehending the President – and why the American people elected him.

    “Think about the torrent of criticism Trump received for his announcement event at Trump Tower. In addition to the intense criticism he received for what he said about people who are in the country illegally, Trump was mocked for ad-libbing his speech, boasting about his wealth, and his theatrics. The elites snubbed him, but his message resonated with normal Americans.

    “Trump understood that since he was running as an outsider, the more he sounded like a politician, the more it undercut his message. So he abandoned his prepared remarks and spoke extemporaneously. This choice to go without the security of written text at such a big moment was, in fact, an act of extraordinary message discipline. The pundits accused him of ‘rambling.’

    “Trump also understood that most Americans believed that their voices were not being heard, that the only people whom politicians listened to were ones who could cut big checks. So Trump spent a lot of time boasting about his wealth and promising to self-finance his campaign. In the following days, much attention was paid to whether Trump was really worth $9 billion, as he claimed, or if he was worth ‘only’ about $2 billion.

    “The frustrated voters Trump was reaching out to heard only one word—billion. And they understood that they finally had a candidate who would not be bought.”

    The media’s immediate reaction to President Trump’s announcement was full blown hostility. They couldn’t imagine that people would ever consider him a serious candidate. They didn’t care what he said. They didn’t care how the American people responded to his message. But within a few weeks, the media’s offensive had completely failed.

    “After weeks of nonstop media criticism and declarations that his announcement in mid-June had been a disaster, the first polls were released that included Trump. After one month of Trump campaigning, he was leading in an average of all the polls, and he lost the lead only for one three-day period for the rest of the primary election.

    “You would think this would have been cause for the media and establishment voices to pause and reconsider their assumptions about Trump, but the coverage and analysis has only gotten worse from there.”

    Twenty-four months later, the hostility hasn’t changed a bit. The elite reporters and pundits remain baffled and predisposed to attack a president they don’t understand.

    Just this month, a reporter asked me via email to comment on a story. The entire premise of the clearly biased article was that President Trump had been undoing Obama initiatives but not replacing them with anything of his own.

    I responded by rejecting the entire notion.

    Congress is grinding forward on health care, tax cuts, deregulation, infrastructure, and rebuilding the military – any one of which could define a presidential legacy. I reminded the reporter that it took nine months to pass President Ronald Reagan’s tax cuts and 18 months to pass welfare reform when I was Speaker.

    Citing the current bull market being spurred by the surge in small business, entrepreneurial, and CEO confidence, I pointed out that in the first five months of the Trump presidency, the Trump effect has added @NewtGingrich.
