Trump Alters Story On Why He Fired Flynn

[edpc]

   I remember back around Christmas, last year, I asked politely @Cripplecreek if you could tone down you anti Trump stuff, you pretty much told me to take a long walk on a short pier and now, retrospectively, I'm glad you did.

Hope the water was at least warm.......

Uh huh...keep telling yourself that.  Our reasons are many and the President puts them on full display every day. The man is a bloviating bully with the moral compass of a toadstool. And I say that as someone who thinks Trump has done some decent things and I tend to believe the Flynn thing is crap. See?  That’s called intellectual honesty, and it’s not terribly difficult.

And I also believe that he will likely ensure his own fall, due to his inability to let ANY slight pass...And THAT will result in violence and/or irrevocable damage to conservatism.

And I also believe that there are none so blind as those who WON’T see.

You never Trumps are all the same.

It looks to me as just another confirmation of why Flynn was fired. He was lying about stuff.

[DB]

That's a pretty wicked point!

   OK @edpc I give up, my internet image sleuth skills are apparently lacking, who is that a young William Jennings Bryant or a Huey Long?

Rick Astley.  When Melania gave that speech, she was ridiculed on Twitter for plagiarizing his lyrics.

   Thanks @edpc now it's coming back to me, it's still funny after all these months. 
   I need a vacation, obviously.

Rick Astley, hell. Its Huey Long. All that overpromising got him shot.

The problem is that this is a non-story to begin with posted on a site so prejudiced that they called Melania's beautiful Christmas decorations 'creepy.'  I guess they liked what Michelle did with Christmas.

If there is actually a valid story about Trump's doings, I will give it full credit and either support him or not.

Why is it a "non story"?  Who is the final arbitrator of that? I believe that most intelligent people are able to  read through news stories from any source and determine what they think about them without "the herd" telling them what is or is not a "non story" and which news sites are acceptable to the rest of the herd.

I happen to think it is a pretty big story when the POTUS knowingly hires someone like Flynn and then has to be dragged kicking and screaming to the oval office to fire his lying rear end. Not because you are disgusted by the man's behavior and lies, but because he has become a political liability. But that was back in the good old days when we still had moral expectations for the POTUS. I happen to think that Donald Trump isn't so much bothered by lying per se. He himself practices it all the time.  As long as those lies benefit him in some way he seems to be okie dokie with it.

I don't know why calling someone a "Never Trumper" is an insult.  I never thought that Trump was fit to be POTUS and I still don't.  I was a "Never Hillary" voter too. I have very good well-thought out reasons why I wouldn't support Trump and those reasons have not changed. In fact his actions have done nothing but reinforce my first instincts about him.  So just for the record, I won't be offended if someone calls me a "NT".

I've been a proud NeverTrumper for more than 30 years when he started showing up in the early days of lowbrow tabloid TV like Current Affair as a willing participant.

He was the same trash then as he was 2 years ago when most of his current fans knew he was trash. I believe the exact words Jim Robinson used were "Lying Liberal Scum".

[Emjay]

That's a really cheap shot, Corbe.

[Emjay]

Then why did the lawyer cop to drafting the tweet and call it sloppy?

We don't know that he did.  This story is just a bunch of rumors with no sources.

[Victoria33]

Its why I only bother talking to a small handful of people here anymore.

@Cripplecreek

Me, too.

[RoosGirl]

He admitted it on an interview with ABC News.  Jeez.

Did you just ask for a Worship Meme? Granted.....

Now you've gone and made all the grannies feel funny... you know.... *whispering* down there.

Swell. Now I am going to have to hear about that.

Have you ever been in a situation where you have been embarrassed for someone?  I know I am, now.

Don't lose sleep over it. I'll live.

To him, you're lying liberal scum . . . until you become a Republican candidate.

[DCPatriot]

Thanks for the clarification.   Thought you were incarcerated.   

[Right_in_Virginia]

Yeah I suppose. But it won't amount to anything & the media still looks ridiculously desperate for attempting to make a deal out of it.

The media aren't the only ones looking ridiculously desperate for attempting to make a big deal out it.   

[Right_in_Virginia]

Have you any boundaries around your hate @corbe ??
