By n8 dogg Go To PostMotherfucker is taking on his own intelligence communities and simultaneously admitting to illegal leaks and calling them fake news lmaoYeah, are they fake news or is it leaking classified information? And didn't he say a couple months ago "I love Wikileaks?" So do you have a problem with leaking classified information or nah?
This is beyond dystopia
Obviously, he wasn't going to call on any real reporters today, but I can't believe nobody has asked, hey, if the President still stands by Flynn (like he said!), why did he ask for his resignation? Or did he not ask for his resignation since that's what Conway (noted surrogate) said? And if the President didn't demand Flynn's resignation, who did?
Jesus Christ, this administration.

But we did get "Trump, is Antisemitism bad?"
Trump: "I won in an electoral landslide."
It seems likely to me that Trump directed or at least approved of Flynn's conversation.
They thought nobody would find out or that nobody would care just like they didn't care about any of his snafus during the campaign.

Why would Trump denounce antisemitism when Steve Bannon, chief antisemite, is dictating policy?
It blows my fucking mind that reporters are still asking Trump and people in this administration long, multi-part questions. They will use this an opportunity to not say anything and dodge questions they don't want to answer. You guys have to stop.

Low energy. Sad!
Should a man with a history of domestic violence and violating labor laws use the term abuse to describe factual reports?
One of my favourite political journalists/writers has a new article on the first days of the Trump administration, highly recommended: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2017/03/09/terrifying-trump/
This republished article about the 1999 "Chechen" bombings in Russia is worth reading.
The fact that Trump admires someone who routinely kills his own citizens for political purposes should scare the shit out of every American.

Trump got so many Ls in a short amount of time that he might as well be called the Lakers at this point

This article is completely wild.
buhahahaha, there is no way he actually believes this crap. Haggling for life-saving surgery? Fucking hell
This article is completely wild.
“What if 30 percent of the public had health savings accounts?” Paul asked. “What do you do when you use your own money? You call up doctors and ask the price. . . . If you create a real marketplace, you drive prices down.”

Pretty sure people just want to be able to go to whichever doctor they prefer regardless of price.
Republican orthodoxy on the "power of the free market" is delusional.

Is the 5k a year to fund the HSA only if you're literally unemployed? Because that's a nice chunk of change. I'm on an employer driven HSA right now and they don't come close to handing out that much.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostIs the 5k a year to fund the HSA only if you're literally unemployed? Because that's a nice chunk of change. I'm on an employer driven HSA right now and they don't come close to handing out that much.
"A tax credit for up to 5k" so who the fuck knows.
HSA's are absolute garbage anyway. My wife's emergency c section and 4 day hospital stay would have wiped that out and put me in debt. I had to have surgery on my elbow the same year too.
Can't wait for republican infighting over this. Ending the Medicaid expansion would fuck over so many GOP voters
Only good thing about an HSA is the out of packet maximums tend to be good enough to stop you from going bankrupt in the case catastrophe, but in terms of affordability it's basically a "you better not have to use this" option.
Not sure what the maximums were before obamacare, but you're right that he placed a cap which is good.
This Trump press conference sure is something.
Not sure how he still wants to reassure his voters. The press is going to fight back twice as hard on this one.
edit: oh wait, it gets worse.

By KingGondo Go To PostJeeeeeeeesusDude just avoided a journalist asking if he's antisemitic by saying it's a tough question.
Odds he apologizes for this?
What do you think.
By Moris Go To PostThat press conference was a monumental disasterWent as well as the Yemen operation, but I've heard that was a yuge success. I'm confused now.

He's not apologizing for a damn thing. lol
"Fake news. Very fake news media, that's out to get me. They misconstrue everything I say. They're the worst. How can you trust these guys? I'm just trying to help the blacks and they lie and spread falsehoods. That's why I got a large percentage of the African-american vote. Nobody expected that. The Martin Luther King bust is in the oval office. It was never moved."
Ad nauseum
By Xpike Go To PostWhat does that even mean
By rodeoclown Go To PostWhat does that even meanThe leaks that are being reported on the news are true, but the news is fake, so what they're reporting doesn't matter. Go back to reading your Bible and cleaning your guns.
Fuck it, give him immunity and have him spill on this whole administration. I don't even care that he'll spend the rest of his days on a beach in Miami. It's worth it.
