With that said, many others who “follow his story” come off as people who aren’t objective. What I mean is this: their positions don’t change - If Trump does it, it’s automatically condemnable. But he didn’t just “choose his words poorly,” he threw the US intelligence community under the bus to serve his own interests because he’s too ******* stupid to understand the difference in meddling and collusion. That and he completely beta’d in the presence of a superior. This wasn’t a poor choice of words - a case of getting tongue tied. It was selfish and irresponsible and a complete embarrassment to the office he holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s so much news every day, it’s hard to keep up with everything, but there have been times, especially year one, I thought actions made sense. I agreed with his support for the ISIS plan he asked Mattis to formulate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,148 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah yeah yeah, 91. I’m ready for your incoming wall of nonsense ad hominems about Dub being mean and hurting your fee fees, but before you post, consider this: THIS SUMMIT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. He put himself in that position, glorified an honest to God autocrat over his own IC. For crying out loud, the best you can do is “THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE TWISTED HIS WORDS!” Well, guess what. They don’t need to be twisted. What happened today was shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, “Lord Almighty if even *FOX* gets it why can’t PT get it through his cast iron cranium?” Ehhh. Your insight on FOX would carry more weight if you also called out sources that generally criticize POTUS at every turn. I would assume your premise, which could otherwise be logical, resides around an intolerance for MSM political apologists. Sadly, it only cuts one way . Just something to consider.

TitanTiger 20,482 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Saying Trump chose his words poorly is like saying Bill Clinton may have "exercised less than ideal judgment" in getting a blow job from a White House intern. Or Hugh Freeze might have "hurt his testimony" in banging high priced call girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we aren’t judging your legal writing right now, but your thought processes in general, which we expect it to be coherent, (future) lawyer or no. The law stuff is how we know you’re not this dense. Quote No, y'all don't. Trump chose his words poorly. The way you talk, he simply expressed valid ideas poorly, and that’s simply not the case.
