if you have to make the statement "I am not ranting and raving" in a news conference ( like Nixon did with "I am not a crook"), then… you're ranting and raving. Sorry.
Many years ago, (the 80s) SNL did a sketch that parodied the hard-hitting journalism 60 Minutes did with Martin Short as the embattled company rep being grilled by "Mike Wallace" (played by Harry Shearer?). Anyhoo, at some point, as Short is nervously smoking at his desk, Wallace asks him, "Why are you getting defensive?" Short replies, defensively, "I'm not getting defensive. You're the one being defensive. I'm not defensive, you are." Basically, that.
I couldn't take more than a few minutes at a time. He sounded like a combination of Idi Amin and Charles Manson, with a little George Constanza stirred in. It's not going to get any more sane from now on, is it?
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he finds questions about whether his administration has incited anti-Semitic acts "insulting" and that he is "the least anti-Semitic person you've ever seen."
"Sit down," Trump told a reporter during a press conference. "Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person you've ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person."
And since you're willing to send out dog whistles to rile up those who are, who gives a fuck?
I saw that portion. Vomit didn't even let the reporter finish his question. Then he answered a different question about he himself being anti-Semitic, which wasn't (unless I missed something) what the guy was driving at. (He wanted a response to the uptick in anti-Semitic incidents since election day, but, again, he was cut off.) Then Vomit said something like, "See, you said you were going to be nice and you lied." The man was obviously Jewish (wearing a yarmulke) so, yeah, our so-called president, the "least anti-Semitic person evah," called a Jewish man a liar at a press conference.
"Some of the signs you’ll see are not put up by the people that love or like Donald Trump. They're put up by the other side and you think it's like playing it straight, no, but you have some of those signs and some of that anger is caused by the other side," he said. "They'll do signs and they'll do drawings that are inappropriate. It won't be my people. It will be the people on the other side to anger people like you."
"What are you going to do about it?" another reporter asked.
Limbaugh said while the media still won’t warm up to Trump, it was what his supporters wanted to see, which was a willingness to tout his achievements and take on some of the claims from the media.
“You know it is hard to say — you get caught up in the moment,” Limbaugh said. “But this was one of the most effective press conferences I have ever seen. The press is going to hate him even more after this. Don’t misunderstand. When I say effective, I’m talking about rallying people who voted for him to stay with him. He made a point — ‘What chaos? You’re reporting chaos. We’re not in chaos. We’re a well-oiled machine. We got one of the smoothest running machines in the history of machines. We got one of the best administrations in the history of administrations.'”
"Just ask my national security advisor if you don't believe me. Or this secretary of labor guy. He's around here somewhere, fabulous guy, people are beginning to notice.
Okay so I watched this thing. I actually turned the TV on and it was on a channel being carried right as it was starting and I was like "okay I'll watch this for 3 minutes then get annoyed and look away". Over an hour later and it ended, as I couldn't stop watching the train wreck. Holy shit.
Ladies and gentlemen: the President of the United States, licking his wounds because he thinks the media don't like him.
In fact it's possible that what he means by "dishonest" media―and they're not perfect, but they don't print or air much disinformation―is that the media types are being dishonest by not showing him that they really, really like him!
Replacement for Flynn says "Thanks but no |thanks."| Since the White House is running like a finely-tuned machine, this should not cause any difficulty.
!!!!!!!
Had the same reaction as some in the feed. It took me a couple readings to actually understand what it was they were saying. Like it was Old English or something and I had to go through the words one by one to understand.
This man is seriously deranged and absolutely unfit for the responsibilities of the presidency. No hiding from that anymore.

I am not replying to your comment. Am I replying to your comment? Clearly, I am not!
My reply was real. The comment was fake!
If it wasn't for your activist judges, my non reply would have been in place already!
As Jerry Springer famously quipped, "the show may be fake, but the millions of idiots who watch it are real."
"his caustic comments motivated his base"

Got to listen for about 10 minutes. Boy he sounds tired. Why do people hate him so much? Those lyin' media, too. Sad!

Yeah, well…

"A mess"
| "Are you totally deranged"? |
Is that from "A Fish Called Wanda"?
Yes, and that would be Otto, who "used to kill for the CIA". Allegedly.
Asshole!
Apes can't read philosophy.
Yes they do, Otto, they just don't understand it.

Yep.
Normally I would have a snarky comment, but right now I'm just stuck repeating "Ohhhhh no. Ohhhhh no. Ohhhhh no."
Oh no!!! You didn't watch the video , did you??
For how long?
Not even. I just read the quotes in the article. Those were enough to gobsmack me on their own.
You know what uranium is, right?
See, now you're making him delete his comments.
You'd delete yours too if you realised you took a reference at face value and responded seriously.
Sorry. That clip should have been flagged NSFSP (Not Safe For Sane People). It won't happen again.
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course it will.
Just you wait- President Trump is going to put the US dollar back on the Comic Gold Standard.

"Small government makes new offices within Homeland Security"
|This| was astonishing and insulting. He all but said, "You people all know each other, right?"
