Discussion: Trump Defends Top Aide: Reporter's Pen Could Had Been A Bomb

Edward Bulwer-Lytton:
The pen is mightier than the sword, oops I mean bomb.

Is a pathological liar and sociopath mentally ill?

Trump is now fearing poison pens.

Will he have a nervous breakdown before or after the GOP convention?

Since winning is the same thing as doing the actual job in practical terms, I don’t think it’s a different discussion, but parsing what is in his head would probably cause cellular damage and should be avoided.

I’ve see horrible and I’ve seen awesome, and this is both.

Its the old adage about dogs chasing cars…and having no idea what to do once they catch one.

Psst…the pen isn’t actually mightier than the sword. That’s just something people say. You know, same as basically everything you yourself say.

I can see him endorsing the fuck out of Kasich. Cruz, less so, but he could find a way to swallow it. But I think Trump is, to quote cummings, ā€œshit he will not eat.ā€

Look at that picture. Babyhands. Sad.

ā€œIt’s… It’s… It’s… harmless. We’re just giving kids what they want.ā€

No. Not poisonous, just explosives masquerading as pens… Bic Bombs?

Could have been a dildo…

It’s educational, teaches them about prisms and stuff

There is much to fear from a female reporter’s use of the pen to distract from the real weapons. One can never be too vigilant…

This thing has been rattling around in my head ever since I read it this morning. No one seems to be noticing that it’s a sign that the man has (as I predicted several weeks, so ā€œseeing vindication where none may existā€ grain of salt) finally gone completely barking mad.

The stuff that spews out of his mouth and Twitter stream because of his subconscious mind’s need to protect his tiny, shriveled, damaged wee little self-image from ever, ever, ever, being, even by association, wrong has crossed the line into the obviously clinically pathological, and no one seems to have noticed. He’ll sit there and just say shit that’s both objectively false, easily falsifiable and patently silly. ā€œNo, no! Trump is Great!,ā€ shrills his ego to his subconscious. ā€œTrump is Right! Can’t be wrong! Always right! Always someone else’s fault! I know! Say an accredited Briebart ā€œreporterā€ could have had a bomb in her pen and your lackey was trying to save your precious to the world life, Little Donny. Sure, that’ll work because Trump is great and always right!ā€

For fuck’s sake! We’re not even to the conventions year, and the man is already crazier than Hitler was in the bunker, facing imminent death and hopped up on five years worth of speed and dubious hormone treatments. And no one in the media seems to think that’s a thing they should be explicitly noting or, for that matter, even bringing to people’s attention anecdotally.

Reporters with pens. Be afraid, be very, very afraid.

And he’s going to deal with Putin etc, how, exactly? What if Putin has a pen? :scream:

Well pens have been known to bring down Nazi’s…Drumpf, when you’re in a hole, stop digging.

I read somewhere, can’t recall where, that he and his advisers thought in the beginning he would be nothing more than a protest candidate whose best case ceiling was 11%. He may in fact be terrified of the prospect that voters could conceivably make him prez, a position he knows he is absolutely clueless about.

It has moved beyond Monty Python levels of absurdity. For months, 2/3 of the nation looked on in bewilderment, amusement, disbelief and horror as the media cluelessly hyped Trump’s every burbling dribble, giving him millions of dollars worth of free air time and pretending he had anything serious to say.

Now some of them are showing a bit of shame for being such greedy ratings-grabbing lackeys. Too little, too late. You all now look just as stupid as the orange idiot.

Trump will claim everyone is unfair and drop out. Maybe he’ll run third party, but only if he doesn’t have to work too hard or learn anything new. I’m more confident than ever that he will never win in the general election.
