The drama isn't coming from the White House, though Tom Send a noteboard - 17/05/2017 07:48:34 PM

Rather, it's not coming from the administration. It's coming from anonymous sources and third hand hearsay by people from the former administration who are not political appointees (and therefore still employed by the government) but who clearly don't like Trump, and fanned by a mainstream media that hates him, to create non-stop stories that don't even make logical sense when taken as a whole.

Is Trump a bit of an asshole? Yes. Does he speak in ways that are not political? Yes. That's why we elected him.

All the NYT and WaPo are doing is ensuring that the 63 million people who voted for Trump will never buy their papers or trust a single thing they say, even if it's "the sky is blue". That's why THEY are creating any crisis that might arise, because by blowing every rumor into a story, when there finally IS a real story (under this or any other administration), no one will believe them.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Comey was fired today.. Urza - 10/05/2017 05:41:17 AM 1100 Views
It's hard to make this look good. And I'm dubious of their reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/05/2017 06:19:12 AM 201 Views
With the media emotionally tied to selling Trump chatted it will be a hard sell. *NM* random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:20:27 PM 223 Views
The firing as such is one thing, but the timing raises major question marks. Legolas - 10/05/2017 07:29:57 AM 462 Views
Especially since there are allegations that Trump didn't have reasons but ordered them to be found. Ghavrel - 10/05/2017 08:20:05 AM 439 Views
Please...this is totally overblown Tom - 10/05/2017 03:58:49 PM 370 Views
What question marks? I know that is the talking point but they stop there random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:24:59 PM 360 Views
It doesn't necessarily have to be about Trump personally. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:13:12 PM 504 Views
There is zero evidence that Flynn colluded with the Russians on the campaign random thoughts - 10/05/2017 09:36:20 PM 364 Views
Aren't you confusing several things? Legolas - 11/05/2017 07:16:21 PM 334 Views
How many of those people telling there is something there despite any evidence are political enemies *NM* random thoughts - 13/05/2017 01:22:59 AM 276 Views
Sigh that is an arguement of rhetoric and not logic. Roland00 - 13/05/2017 06:08:25 AM 371 Views
Agreed on all points. *NM* The Shrike - 11/05/2017 04:26:32 PM 233 Views
I read he found out by seeing it on the news. Aviendha - 10/05/2017 08:42:28 AM 510 Views
I heard he found out because he's one of Trump's twitter followers *NM* aerocontrols - 10/05/2017 01:58:10 PM 220 Views
I've seen it now. Aviendha - 10/05/2017 10:11:59 PM 358 Views

Mitch McConnell isn't worried, so I'm sure it's fine. *NM* nossy - 10/05/2017 03:53:58 PM 246 Views
Sarcasm aside, have you seen even a shred of evidence that it was improper? Tom - 10/05/2017 04:01:46 PM 437 Views
Are these like the "shreds of evidence" people threw up all over me about how corrupt Clinton is? nossy - 10/05/2017 04:35:29 PM 407 Views

When which now? nossy - 10/05/2017 06:10:11 PM 356 Views
Can you point to single piece of evidence tying Trump campaign worker's to the email hacks? random thoughts - 10/05/2017 09:47:00 PM 360 Views
Can *I*? No. But then I'm a landscape designer living in the UK. nossy - 10/05/2017 11:03:56 PM 369 Views
Let's just take that one extra step Tom - 11/05/2017 02:51:49 PM 409 Views
Heh, well that must be terrible for you. nossy - 11/05/2017 03:40:16 PM 510 Views
Not even the president is required to prove his innocence random thoughts - 11/05/2017 04:06:30 PM 415 Views
But firing the person leading an investigation isn't how to determine one's innocence, hence nossy - 11/05/2017 04:19:13 PM 391 Views
If the same people claiming it was suspicious weren't the same ones calling for him to be fired random thoughts - 11/05/2017 05:50:12 PM 434 Views
But the firing doesn't affect the investigation Tom - 11/05/2017 07:04:01 PM 337 Views
Seriously you are saying firing the person in charge of an investigation does not affect the Roland00 - 11/05/2017 09:23:38 PM 465 Views
I can't point to a single piece of evidence that you can see, but I can point to evidence that is in Roland00 - 11/05/2017 05:33:32 AM 420 Views

Doesn't that feel like The Point? nossy - 10/05/2017 06:39:00 PM 414 Views
How can Trump prove a negative, though? Tom - 14/05/2017 09:52:47 PM 447 Views
Indeed it does. And a lot of people rather doubt Trump would nominate someone like that. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:00:53 PM 486 Views
That op-ed was a complete waste of time to read Tom - 11/05/2017 07:21:15 PM 338 Views
You should be glad I didn't go with the Guardian's take then. Legolas - 11/05/2017 08:00:32 PM 397 Views
I think you're full of shit, too. Tom - 12/05/2017 06:25:59 AM 339 Views

The drama isn't coming from the White House, though Tom - 17/05/2017 07:48:34 PM 396 Views
The drama is coming from two sources. Both of them located, at least in part, in the White House. Legolas - 17/05/2017 09:02:15 PM 670 Views
