Discussion: Trump Rails Against The Media In Angry Saturday Morning Tweetstorm

Is a moron smarter than a dotard, or vice versa?

It’s getting really, really hard to tell…

He attacks brown and black people, oh and liberals. He talks funny, fantisizes about women, talks at their level.

Equal time? After al the free publicity this F’ing Moron got during the campaign he should be very careful in asking for equal time.

Typo or Freudian?

If Trump wants to reinstate the equal time rules, I’m all for it. While we’re at it, let’s reinstate rules against media consolidation, too.

All throughout the campaign and everyday since, we’ve been inundated by PP’s supporters saying some version of, “He calls it like he sees it.” He does. That’s an absolute fact. The problem isn’t in what he’s calling out, it’s in the way he sees it. So, the problem, as he sees it, isn’t in his behavior, or the crazy coming out of his mouth and fingertips, it’s the reporting on it.

That’s why I sincerely hope Mueller takes the necessary time to nail him dead to rights. It can’t be a circumstantial case. The evidence has to be overwhelming. Even then there will undoubtedly be 20-30 who remain either doubtful or vigorously in denial. But if it’s below 25%, perhaps we can get back to being a country in which 3/4 can agree on the basic facts.

Well today is the anniversary of the Access Hollywood Tape, Hurricane Matthew, the announcement from DHS and NSA about Russians interfering with our elections, and the big dump of DNC/Podesta’s emails. So lots of things to distract us from remembering.

Unfortunately typo and the always appreciated auto correct.

Mueller is connecting the dolts. I can feel it. And so can they.

It appears Trump was watching Fox News on Saturday — which featured a segment about late-night hosts — before he decided to tweet.

I’ve honestly never believed PP is attempting to distract. He’s just not that smart. This is his usual Saturday and Sunday ritual. Wake up, binge watch political shows he’s got saved on his DVR and then have a Twitter meltdown. It’s just what he does on the weekends.

He stews and stews all week when his “game plan” for his “show” isn’t going the way he likes. He doesn’t need a chief of staff, he needs Mark Burnette to come back in to boost his ratings.

Star Wars’ Mark Hamill has a great series where he reads Drumpf tweets out in the voice of the Batman cartoon’s Joker. I vividly remember that weird, twisted Happy New Year’s one. (WTF, “including to my enemies”?!) Drumpf is such a goddamn bastard.

And they don’t even realize it. There’s a sucker born every minute. And quoting PT Barnum couldn’t be more appropriate when it comes to Trump.

There’s just no evidence that he’s unusually smart or that he’s being diabolically clever or any of this stuff people think. If he’s any of that then so is every young child who got bored and cranky, melted down into a tantrum and ruined the day for everyone. The right-wing noise machine infantilized a large section of the electorate, which then went out and elected the most immature, angry, impulse-driven public figure we’ve seen in our lifetimes. There’s no smartness anywhere in any of it.

You forgot to mention the round or two of golf he’ll play after the wake up call, the binge TV watch, and then the Twitter meltdown. Presidential engagement at its best.

Just waiting for Rick Perry to call him an imbecile. I think that would break the sound barrier or something. Something profoundly stupid would have to happen at that point.
