Intense Observer 344 Posted April 13, 2020 16 minutes ago, TimmySmith said: The press is freaking out at Trump right now, with him saying he can tell the states what to do. Beginning of press conference: "Mr President, why didn't you shut down the country earlier? Why did you kill people? You had the authority to shut things down and you didn't!!" 30 minutes later: "Mr President, what gives you the authority to open the country up?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First question to Trump. But why did you wait until you did?!?!? its almost like they can’t hear. I've been saying for many months he needs to do this. I can't wait for the debates.

And I don’t say that sarcastically. He really does, and if the Democrats had the sense of a billy goat they would have realized that and used it to get a lot of what they want. Instead they can’t see straight because of their TDS. They could have squeezed so much out of him, and in turn Piss off his base and beaten him easily in November. Now they are 50–50 at best. Schumer and Pelosi are amateurs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted April 14, 2020 6 hours ago, Intense Observer said: I honestly don't know how anyone can defend these reporters. 100% of their questions are gotcha attempts and talking point fishing. Not a single one of them is asking questions with the best interest of Americans in mind. Can any of our communist posters explain? For example, earlier when Dr Fauci said Trump followed his recommendation, the first time he recommended mitigation Trump said let's do it. Reporter question: "are you speaking on your own free will right now" It's because that's what people want to read and watch. People want to see gotcha partisan bullish!t, whichever side they are on. Nobody wants to read reasoned, nuanced analysis of complex problems. Just give me a 5 second soundbite zinger that pwns the other side and makes me feel better about my life.

I guess you have not watched any of his press briefings where he murders the Chinese journalists on a daily basis. Or the debates where he single handedly took out the Bush Dynasty, the GOP establishment, and the Clinton Dynasty. That shite gives any red blooded American a freedom boner.

I’ve watched plenty prior to and since I voted for him. My opinion hasn’t changed. I don’t get inspired by hearing him tell stories about his beautiful, wonderful, perfect phone calls or hearing him talk about all the terrific, terrific, smartest very best people in their fields. Last night he said. “Well, I have the ultimate authority. The President of the US has the authority to do what the President has the authority to do, which is very powerful.” Nice He could have destroyed those reporters, Pelosi and Biden with about 1/5 of the words he actually used. He also could have just let the video clips play their message as intended, but he decided to go all Vanna White with his presentation, making himself look juvenile and petty. He has no idea how to be succinct and he pats himself on the back with every other sentence. He is absolutely uninspiring to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
