Lord Liaden Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lex Luthor is a ruthless, deceitful, manipulative megalomaniac. But he's also brilliant, cunning, disciplined, and knows when to keep his mouth shut. You can decide for yourself if any of those apply to Donald Trump.

Pariah Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 So far, the fairest thing I can say about President Trump is that he seems to have a body temperature near 37°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 The Russian thing has new legs now. Blood is in the water, and the sharks are gathering and beginning to circle. Flynn will not be the last to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 The BBC has shown Trump's handshake which is a bit on the bullish side. It showed examples and then it finished off with the Canadian PM Trudeau who neutralized it quite brilliantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Apparently he pulled the same handshake/staredown on Shinzo Abe which is just incredibly embarrassing when you consider the particulars of Japanese social custom.

Iuz the Evil Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/politics/republicans-want-flynn-investigations/index.html Yeah, some GOP folks joining in the piling on. Methinks this relates to the earlier discussions around pissing off people with egos. Going to be a lot of juicy Graham/McCain quotes these next couple days.

Ternaugh Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Aaaaand so ends Mike Flynn's tenure as National Security Adviser. Guess someone had to take the fall for the Manchurian Candidate. This week on Presidential Apprentice: after stumbles from both Kellyanne and Mike, we had to say goodbye to the scrappy National Security Adviser, and narrowly avoided a double-elimination. aylwin13, Lord Liaden, Netzilla and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just got back to China, my one trip back to America in a year coinciding with the first weeks of the Trump presidency. Did I actually witness, after all that talk about it only being the illegal immigrants being the focus, and that democrats were being unfair in characterizing it otherwise, that the first move was to ban a bunch of legal immigrants? Is he actually going to tweet about most every episode of SNL? I was actually baffled for the whole time. aylwin13 and Sociotard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Exactly. While I've heard and read a lot of logical explanations for how Trump got to this position, and why he does what he does, it still all seems so improbable.

aylwin13 Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 America is currently living in a twisted version of the Truman Show.

megaplayboy Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Given the revelation about the Trump campaign being in constant contact with Russian intelligence during the campaign, we are now just one step removed from a constitutional crisis and the biggest political scandal in the history of the republic.

DasBroot Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Don't worry - they'll deflect it by having someone else do something scandalous so the news cycle abandons it before it gets fully absorbed by the public. It's worked every other time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worked every other time. Except this isn't being driven by the media. It's being advanced by deeply concerned members of the Intelligence Community. I don't see them giving up or letting go of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Trump winning the election and Bob Dylan winning the Nobel Prize, I've half-seriously wondered if we're living in the Matrix and the code has been corrupted.

Vurbal Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't supposed this is really related to nothing on this thread, but in the interest of not polluting the forum, I'll post it here. I took my wife to a very nice restaurant on Valentine's Day, and just before we were done eating, she said she could see me start scowling because our governor, and Trump's nominee for ambassador to China, Terry Branstad walked by. He was still in the lobby when we left, but I ignored him since I knew my wife would be embarrassed if I said something nasty to him on the way out. I'm glad she was there, because anything I would have said almost certainly would have been a cheap shot, I like to think I'm better than that. Sometimes I'm not. tkdguy and Iuz the Evil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
