What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[LaCroix]

you can't say speaker doesn't deserve it. he went too far with his public(!) comments. trump is only getting even

The supposed speaker of the UK Congress does not exist.  Trump's off his meds again.

Has there ever been evidence he was on them?

Well, he referred to the President of Mexico, and that's a real person.  The UK doesn't have a congress, nor would said congress have a supposed speaker even if it did exist, so Trump's delusions are double-deep with this one.

it wasn't the speaker of that UK congress. you're embarassing yourself

Or this? 

Donald Trump's team 'holding meetings in the dark as they can't find right light switch in White House'
The President is also reportedly  obsessed with TV coverage and decorating

Read in The Economist that Bannon used to work at Goldman Sachs.  That's pretty funky.

Monkey, typewriter, broken clock, something something??

Why would we think he would read what he signs. Walking cluster fuck.

Until impeachment comes into play, there's no actual, concrete response they could have sent me.

Something tells me there could have been other answers - like registering your concerns in a way that did not admit it's out of his hands. Or, indeed, take a stance and say that he believes impeachment is not the answer to what he has seen of Trump.

There are a few things worth noting.

a) The response was accurate. It really is out of his hands.
b) Yi did not warrant a serious response because of his fucked up apostrophe.
c) Impeachment and removal from office right now - if it were feasible - is an incredibly bad idea. The results of the election would be overturned without any significant new information regarding trump's fitness or "high crimes and misdemeanors" that wasn't available to voters. His supporters would lose their shit.

Good grief, man.  You're the kind of low information voter that fucks up this country.  That shit was out there during the fucking campaign.  And guess what, he all his real money with royalties from Seinfeld.

Oh, and he's a fellow Hoya and Harvard type.  Your kind of people.

I know all that. My point was simply that a normal human being in position of power as an elected official, and operating under the principle of charity in interpersonal communication, and not in CDM-rage-inducing Languish litteralism, would read such an email as the expression of significant concern over Trump's abilities, and would answer accordingly, not by pointing out paragraph 3, section 2.

On the plus side you could probably trick him into resigning by putting the paper work in front of him.

Donald Trump's 'under-reported' terror list includes Paris, Berlin and Nice attacks

White House backs up president's claim that media is deliberately ignoring terror attacks by releasing list riddled with errors

The White House has distributed a list of 78 terrorist attacks to support Donald Trump's claim that the media is failing to properly report them.

But the list includes many atrocities that received blanket western media coverage including the Paris Bataclan attacks, the Nice truck killings and the San Bernardino shootings.

Many others including the Sydney siege and Germany's Christmas market attack received wide international coverage.

The list also includes multiple errors and spelling mistakes, including 'San Bernadino', and for no apparent reason excludes terror attacks in Israel.

The release comes after the US president told military leaders in Tampa, Florida, on Monday that there have been attacks all over Europe but "in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it." He added, "They have their reasons, and you understand that," but did not expand.

Later the White House press secretary Sean Spicer was asked about specific attacks that had not been reported to which he replied: "We'll provide a list later. There's several instances ... There's a lot of instances that have occurred where I don't think they've gotten the coverage it deserved."

That list, released to media outlets including the Guardian, included a "timeline" of domestic and international incidents from September 2014 to December 2016.

Some, such as last year's mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and the killing of 129 people in Paris in November 2015, received huge coverage. But officials claimed that "most" of the attacks were not adequately reported by western media outlets, CNN reported.

The list hops from Afghanistan to Algeria to Australia but, without explanation, does not mention Israel, where incidents included a bus bombing in Jerusalem last year, carried out by a 19-year-old Palestinian, that injured 20 people. The Trump administration was widely criticised last week for releasing a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day that made no mention of Jews or anti-Semitism.

The document also includes spelling mistakes such as "attaker" instead of "attacker" and "Denmakr" instead of "Denmark".

There have been similar errors in official communications in recent days, including references to Theresa May as "Teresa" and a reference to Malcolm Turnbull as the "president" of Australia when it should be "prime minister".

The catalogue begins with an attack by Abdul Numan Haider, who wounded two police officers in a knife attack in Melbourne in September 2014. It ends with an atrocity involving Anis Amri, who drove a truck into a crowded market in Berlin last December, killing 12 and injuring 48.

Lindsay Walters, a White House spokesperson, claimed that the list demonstrates how terrorist attacks are losing perceived news value because of their frequency. "The real point here is that these terrorists attacks are so pervasive at this point that they do not spark the wall-to-wall coverage they once did," she said via email.

"If you look back just a few years ago, any one of these attacks would have been ubiquitous in every news outlet, and now they're happening so often – at a rate of more than once every two weeks, according to the list – that networks are not devoting to each of them the same level of coverage they once did.

"This cannot be allowed to become the 'new normal', and the President, for one, is not going to be satisfied until the American people are much safer and more secure."

Earlier, Spicer told reporters travelling on Air Force One that Trump believes attacks are not "unreported" but "underreported."

He said: "He felt members of the media don't always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered."

But David Gergen, a political analyst and former adviser to four US presidents, condemned Trump's remarks.

"I think this is one of the most outrageous claims the president has made, among many, because it really says, basically, that the press is not doing its job because it has its own political agenda," he told CNN. "It doesn't want you to know the truth about how dangerous terrorism is. It doesn't want to be out there, it's just pulling a leftist agenda on you, which is clearly not true."

Gergen added: "He engages in these falsehoods without producing any serious evidence. The list includes San Bernardino, as if the press didn't cover that sufficiently. It's just astonishing and it's beneath the dignity of the presidency and I think it tears at the fabric of what holds us together as a people when we can't trust each other, we can't trust the White House, and he's telling us we can't trust the press. This is the way democracies come unravelled."
