POTUS SLAMS SESSIONS AGAIN: He Endorsed Me Because of Big Crowds, Not Loyalty
Joshua Caplan Jul 25th, 2017 2:43 pm
In a brief interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Trump ripped into Attorney General Sessions once again. This time, the President cut even deeper, suggesting Sessions endorsed him because of Trump’s success as a candidate, not out of loyalty.

The POTUS is being an ass....stop humiliating Sessions and just fire him already!
-
According to the Daily Beast, Sessions is pissed and is determined to hang on---says Trump will have to fire him.
It's too bad Trump never took a punch. It would have benefited him greatly.
-
Even many of our friends at TOS are scratching their heads and wondering what Trump is doing. Others, of course, are accusing Sessions of being one of those evil Deep State Denizens, and Trump just found out about all his evil deeds down in the Deep State Swamp. Yeah, that's probably right....Sessions, who put his reputation on the line to back Trump in the primaries and helped draw many people to Trump's candidacy, is just another nasty Deep State Swamp dweller. Who knew? 22222frying pan
-
Sessions gave Trump something sorely missing from his early campaign, Conservative Creed, and now he has outlived his usefulness.
No wonder Schumer spent all that time this morning warning Trump about Recess appointments. This will look very bad if he fires him, a PR Disaster, again, self-inflicted.
-
Uglier and uglier.

Get your popcorn for when the Trump Circus comes to YOUR town!
Thanks for Trump, @Right_in_Virginia ! You picked a REAL winner!

:facepalm2:
-
I don't like Sessions cause of the asset forfeiture. If Trump get rid of him cause of that then fine, not because he didn't cover his butt with regards to Russia.

Trump will be having a live rally in Ohio and it is expected he will humiliate him again there...

Trump is now fighting with Sessions, Tillerson, Mattis. #MAGA
-
It certainly would seem as time goes on, he will keep appointing people only to fire them. I'm beginning to wonder if this is by design ... hiring people that the establishment doesn't want and firing them to get rid of them. If Sessions is fired ... his career as a politician is over.

I doubt his career as a politician will be over. Having been fired by Trump may become a symbol of value.

-

Agreed. It's a matter of decency.
Trump may or may not trash Sessions at his rally, depending on whether his staff can convince him that the blowback is so bad he needs to stop. Regardless, this is who Trump is. He'll never be different.

This whole thing would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Apparently, Sessions is not going to let Trump insult him into quitting. Trump is going have to pull the plug himself.
A lot of things Sessions is wrong on, but I gotta admire him for this.

Astounding behavior from Mr. Corporate-Experience. If the CEO of any corporation in America were to send out tweets like this about a member of his staff, he would rightly be sued for workplace harassment.
-

Regardless, it fits.
-
It's all theater for his fans. Designed to keep them entertained. After all, his fans for the most part only know him from reality TV.
I honestly wanted Trump to succeed, but lately, I keep hoping for something that will remove him from office, so a more rational person can take over. This reality TV presidency has to end.
But then again, according to Trump supporters, I'm a hater.
-
Then he can probably kiss the senate republicans good bye.
Which is what I figured he would do anyway.
Trump will caucus with Democrats for "Wins" - because he has been a lifelong Liberal Democrat.
The Trump fanatics bought his bullshit and convinced themselves he was a Reagan Conservative and even argued on this board for that false supposition, despite his own sordid history.
Trump's job to lay waste to the Conservative opposition to pure Democrat/Marxist rule may yet be borne out in fulfillment by the time his tenure is up.

Perhaps people will stop and take a moment to reflect on the fact that this guy has never run a business that produces things. He's put together business deals based on bullying, braggadocio, bribes, and branding. He's relied on his money (and corresponding legal clout) and other peoples' decency to hurt others to his own benefit. That doesn't translate into running a healthy operation.
-
This is a real shame. I can understand Trump's frustration. Obama had Eric Holder, who protected him from scandal after scandal. Sessions does seem timid by comparison, especially in regard to the Russia thing. Nonetheless, I have always had a lot of respect for Sessions, and he is not deserving of this bullying.
This will backfire on Trump big time.
-

I wonder if Trump is afraid of his taxes being released..

Just watched his rah rah rally in Ohio...sounded like a campaign speech and no mention of Sessions.

Trump is mentally ill.

He sure seems to be. Couldn't be that bad, right? I don't think he has the wealth that he claims to have, but he's already won the election, so what could be so bad?

I thought DT reached a low when he denied Spicer an opportunity to receive an audience with the Pope
while several Jewish people in his party were invited.
The way he heaps out humiliating abuse is sickening. No fan of Spicer or Sessions but this is disgusting behavior by DT

Again, remember about 6 weeks ago when all of those very ill conceived jokes/plays, etc about killing Trump were in the news; then, Trump stirred up a tweet storm and this other faded into the background.
It wouldn't surprise me if this was being manipulative.
Everyone knows Sessions has been practically the number one elected politician against illegal immigration for the longest time, these other guys were not in the legislature back in 2006 say, maybe Steven King was in Iowa, but not many more.
I still say it's a headfake, it's almost disingenuous to say Sessions endorsed Trump over crowd size.

Did Gowdy shed any light on who HE works for @mystery-ak ? Other than dozens of clever sound bites, he's a rather useless waste of oxygen.

@mystery-ak .... Sessions's non-resignation has left more than one Washingtonian wondering if there's more going on than we are aware of. The town is swimming in this---and it's a VERY small town with one degree of separation. The "Sessions's thing" is talked about in Starbucks, over lunch, drinks at the Hay Adams, every shopper in every Georgetown boutique is spilling everything she's heard from her husband, hairdressers are working with recorders. There's no way to share this on TBR so you are at a disadvantage.
But, you can relax, there's no need to ponder my reaction to this. Simply put, I'm living and working in the center of this storm and have more theories to consider than you are aware of.
Sleep well.

I'm incredulous that anyone is incredulous that Trump would behave in this manner. Most people who voted for him knew what he was like before they did so.
I had nothing more than a passing awareness of the man before he decided to conveniently turn conservative and throw his hat into the presidential ring. I never saw his reality show, so I have no idea if he was an @$$hole on it. I'm not inclined to watch pageants, so I had no knowledge of how he conducted himself with regard to those events. I didn't follow his social life since I'm not much for celebrities and/or pop culture. Trump was a clean slate for me, but it didn't take long to figure out what he is. He's a rude, bullying huckster who, despite all his money and exposure to the finest social circles, hasn't a clue how to behave in polite society. He has such rough edges, he makes hicks and hillbillies look polished. If you covered the name on that tweet someone posted earlier, people would swear that was posted by an underage troll who should be working on his homework instead of trying to impress others with his smarts. Seriously, is anyone truly surprised by his public dissing of Sessions? Anyone? Anyone?
And OMG what pretzeling I've seen on this thread tonight! Dems don't have anything on folks from our side of the aisle. Manipulating the media?!?? :silly: Please! Give a ***Depends Alert*** before typing something like that!
To the one who fussed because there were 45 mean posts about Trump... I think you could use a safe space. TOS would probably welcome you. BTW, wasn't there an area of this board that provided a safe space for Trumpsters? Or am I having a senior moment? It seems like I remember that it was at the top, and you weren't allowed to post anything negative about Trump. Maybe it's still there. :shrug:
-
This whole thing would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Apparently, Sessions is not going to let Trump insult him into quitting. Trump is going have to pull the plug himself.
A lot of things Sessions is wrong on, but I gotta admire him for this.
His first mistake (not counting the Trump endorsement) was taking the job. This was a predictable outcome. Trump has no principles that others can anchor to when things get tough other than no matter what it won't be his fault. Once they hitch their wagon to him they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. He cannot be satisfied because the goal posts move daily from beneath them.
At this point only a fool would take the job.
-
Look at it another way. I'm not so sure it's Sessions who is being humiliated.
Sessions isn't the one who appears to be losing the ability to control himself.
Its fascinating to watch but unfortunately its extraordinarily damaging to the nation.
-
It's all theater for his fans. Designed to keep them entertained. After all, his fans for the most part only know him from reality TV.
I honestly wanted Trump to succeed, but lately, I keep hoping for something that will remove him from office, so a more rational person can take over. This reality TV presidency has to end.
But then again, according to Trump supporters, I'm a hater.
I was hoping that Trump would succeed also. And he could still do so in a lot of ways. Why can't a health care bill get passed? I don't think that's Trump's fault.
If ONLY he could shut up for a week or two and let things settle down. Most of all this is caused by Trump's own Big Mouth.

It'll be a safe space for Trumpers when certain things are outlawed by administration, like the obvious, they may as well have been for Hillary, off limits, or squawking about Never Trumpers basically being on the same side as pro-choicers.
So, until then, this is just discourse. There are ways that in fact, a safe space is in place for NTs.

That you would even allow your mind to contemplate such a thing is beyond sickening, and evidentiary of the cult of worship people like you possess for your political messiah.
No different than the cultists for Obama daydreamed about having his image carved for perpetuity.

One really shouldn't even pay attention to such posts, it has nothing to do with the topic, never mind that this poster like most NTs stands on the same side as Planned Parenthood with the abortion issue though they proclaim to be Christian and pro-life, stood up for the white supremacist society of the Old South, knocking Abraham Lincoln just like the Commander in Chief is dissed on a constant basis here. Okay fine, but is this on topic?

Half the nation voted for Trump, the coasts may not be fond of him but I saw a map per approval ratings, roaring up to 60% in flyover country in some states, I know it was one of the Dakotas.
I mean if that is how one defines a cult, okay.

Capiche! You say enough dirty things to begin with. Take a look in the mirror.
Seems like Trump is the Commander in Chief; maybe some folks should have something said back to them. There is an oath of loyalty.
I guess, NTs have a safe space to believe they can say anything.
@TomSea
Are you feeling bullied, Tom? I'm sorry. Is there a place you can go to feel safe?
I'm pretty sure "capiche" is a question, not an exclamation. But I'm also sure you have to be a member of an Italian crime family to use it with any degree of credence.
As for safe spaces to say what you want and oaths of loyalty, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

That's okay. The irony of these same people touting the percentages of people in flyover country who support and salute Trump as some kind of contradiction against the True Believer cult of personality status they have erected around Trump, is hilarious.
If you follow that logic about poll numbers, it means that an entire nation saluting a madman in a funny moustache is not a cult.
However, posting a pic of one man refusing to salute.... well, that's offensive.
But posting an animated gif to illustrate what their minds contemplate doing to me when they read my stuff, well... even though that movie takes place at the same time that Germans were saluting He Who Must Not Be Named Or Compared, is yet another amusing irony.

Trump is an embarrassment to the nation. He's tweeting about Sessions not going after Clinton. He is the one who honored Hillary at his Inauguration and didn't push for prosecution. I remember when lock her up was the rally call but he had no intention.
He's a mental case.

That's the hilarious thing about you party hacks stuck in the bubble of Mordor on the Potomac, your powers of deduction suck as bad as your ability to understand average Americans who don't live in the beltway.
The basket chase scene in the Cairo marketplace in the first Indiana Jones flick that came out in 1981 is where your gif is from. Ford was so sick from malaria, that the the grand sword fight they had planned that day with Vic Armstrong was scrapped when he asked Spielberg if he could just shoot the guy and be done with it. It was an improv that ended up in the final movie.
I go to the movies quite often actually - except when I'm overseas in the slums. You might want to take some kind of refresher course in deductive analysis considering how far off the mark you almost always tend to be when making these assumptions about the members here.
---which explains why you didn't recognize the clip. My bad. My very, very, very bad. (I'm shaking a pointed finger at myself)
I'm laughing at you very hard right now, because your cocksure assessment just revealed your inability to recognize the fact that not only did I know the clip and movie from the gif, but I noted the timeframe (1936) and the secondary villains in the movie aside from Belloq in subtle mention in my reply to @RoosGirl about the period photo that is not allowed to be posted of the man in 1936 who refused to salute his leader with the rest of his saluting countrymen.
You were too ignorant or wound up in your own hubris to notice it.
Now both of you, please climb down from your soapbox and rest easy tonight. All is well.
I actually enjoy the soapbox that has been provided for us here, so I have no intention of climbing down from it or shutting up. I love that it'll really piss you off that we have a place on this soapbox.

Trump has made Sessions a sympathetic and heroic figure, even after the federal theft by forfeiture that angered so many, myself included. I don't believe for a second that was by design. All Trump is doing is giving credence to those that believe him to be insane.

She outs herself and has done so on numerous occasions:
.... Sessions's non-resignation has left more than one Washingtonian wondering if there's more going on than we are aware of. The town is swimming in this---and it's a VERY small town with one degree of separation. The "Sessions's thing" is talked about in Starbucks, over lunch, drinks at the Hay Adams, every shopper in every Georgetown boutique is spilling everything she's heard from her husband, hairdressers are working with recorders. There's no way to share this on TBR so you are at a disadvantage.
...Simply put, I'm living and working in the center of this storm and have more theories to consider than you are aware of.
-
Did Gowdy shed any light on who HE works for @mystery-ak ? Other than dozens of clever sound bites, he's a rather useless waste of oxygen.
Finally the conservative voice of reason. Yes Gowdy has to go. Sessions has to go. McConnell has to go. Ryan has to go. If they don't want to listen to the will of the People(36%) then they gotta go.
Burn It All Down!
-
She outs herself and has done so on numerous occasions:
All that vast inside-the-Beltway knowledge and she deigns to converse with us? Just wow!
Theories schmeories. Here's what I know. Trump was a boorish, tacky, rude, thin-skinned, narcissistic oaf as a candidate in the primaries and in the general election. Using my powerful deductive reasoning skills, I'm going to assume this behavior is simply ingrained in him and will be his MO until his life on earth is done. He will always be settling a score, dissing someone, calling people names and whining because so few people speak highly of him. (One thing could make my assumption wrong -- he turns his life over to the Lord and lets Him make a new man out of him.)
I hope Sessions makes Trump fire him. I would highly recommend that he hold his ground and refuse to be bullied by Trump's incessant whining about him. Trump knows it won't go down well if he fires him. He would have already done it by now if he weren't concerned about the blowback. Surely he realizes his other cabinet members and staff are all looking on to see how Trump is going to handle this. Airing dirty laundry in public is so low-life and tacky, I just can't get over how people can continue to make excuses for him.
-
OMG...really...I can't believe you said that..I guess that is how you reconcile Trumps actions.
AG Sessions should be thrilled to mentioned by The President of the United States so often. At least Jeff knows The President of the United States is thinking about him. I'm tots jealous.
-
Trump is playing two hundred dimensional underwater midget chess.
With half his brain tied behind his back.

Sessions was lied about per his hearings, called a racist, practically a Klansman and is still called these names.
Oh sure, Trump is really humiliating him. :silly:
As I former Republican I used to be called many of awful things by rats, but I don't think much of rats, so it didn't bother me much. Perhaps being reminded daily of the Republican President's disapproval of me, and it being broadcast by Fake News to the world might be more stressful.
Now that I have quit the GOP after 25 years I couldn't care less what the POTUS had to say about me. My opinion of him can't get worse.

It's the exact same argument at "Not voting for Trump is a vote for Hillary," only in even louder hyperbole. It's whatever pushes the buttons to infuriate the other side. The definition of passive/aggressive at best, gaslighting at worse.

Cults of personality always put great big giant posters of their deities on walls. Look at all the old pictures of China and USSR, and the new ones in N. Korea.

Nixon was far more popular and won 49 states yet you would be hard pressed to find a majority who claim they ever supported him. He had the support of his party and a large portion of the American people but his presidency couldn't survive his own paranoia.
Trump is far less popular, has marginal support from his party (due to his own behavior) and his paranoia is already tearing his administration apart from the inside. The fact is that his presidency simply can't survive and I think we all sense it. Even now I see a few of his staunchest supporters here trying to re position themselves as having warned us all.

You and others like you, including my father, are the reasons he can sit in his brokedown recliner, scarfing Doritos while he babbles at people online about loyalty oaths to a game show host.
@CatherineofAragon thank you ma'am you are very kind in your words.
What he fails to realize is that we "GI Joe" types take no oath of loyalty to the President. He's not a kind and we are not his subjects nor his private Army. He's trotting out the same kind of bile that the denizens of DU and Liberal Trolls at TOS used to sling at myself and others when we'd criticize Obama. Both of the fringe elements on these political forums want the same thing, slavish devotion to a mortal man...and that will never happen.
We swear that we will obey the orders of the officers appointed over us and the orders of the President. Nothing in the oath of enlistment mentions an oath of loyalty to the President...only that we will carry out his lawful orders to the best of our ability.
And I will do that...just as I did for Obama, Bush 43, Clinton and Bush 41...and I will continue to do so for whomever sits in the Oval Office until such a time as I choose to retire.
What Tom and a few others fail to understand...and I think even the former military here that are more supportive of Trump than I am would agree...we do and/or did this for a purpose more special than who happens to have their butt in a chair in the Oval Office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue at any given moment in time.

Fair enough, Newt...was Trump paying attention to you, or was his head buried in another tweet storm?
O/T, last night at Mount Rushmore was truly inspiring. The ceremony that started at 9 PM was well done, followed by the lowering of the colors. Military veterans, past and present, were invited on to the stage. There were at least 50 of us in attendance.
One last item, on the subject of loyalty. It's not a one way street,unless you're Donald Trump, Barack Obama, or Douglas Niedermeyer. My oath of office was to the Constitution, not to a person.

"The basket chase scene in the Cairo marketplace in the first Indiana Jones flick that came out in 1981 is where your gif is from. Ford was so sick from malaria, that the the grand sword fight they had planned that day with Vic Armstrong was scrapped when he asked Spielberg if he could just shoot the guy and be done with it. It was an improv that ended up in the final movie. I go to the movies quite often actually - except when I'm overseas in the slums. You might want to take some kind of refresher course in deductive analysis considering how far off the mark you almost always tend to be when making these assumptions about the members here."

-
The fact that there are "verboten" images says plenty.
In fairness, we certainly do not need outright porn or four-letter vulgarity to be posted in images or in the discourse, BUT - the Trump snowflakes have stated their offense at having any comparisons made between their devotion to a cult of personality and the devotion to other historical cults of personality such as Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Idi Amin, Robespierre, Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, Johnny Depp and Madonna.
Because those comparisons hurt and get too close to identifying the zeitgeist that animates them.
One of the ever Trumps has a picture of Nazis executing people in her signature.
Perfectly acceptable. The image is not making any references to Trump or his supporters. It's referencing guns control, an issue that has not yet been touched by Trump Tweets.

Why spend so much time worrying about, dissecting and ridiculing what other people think? And why do you challenge me to defend others? It appears small and mean-spirited and a diversion from not having substantive points to present.
Why not concentrate on your own opinions, present them and support them with policy facts and suggestions? This is, after all, a political discussion group.
I think we'd all benefit from more facts and less personal opinions about what others think and why.

She's been absolutely correct regarding everything "TRUMP", since July 2015.
@DCPatriot @Right_in_Virginia
So what you're saying is that despite correctly identifying and being totally aware he is a petty, incompetent boob, she still has been pushing him on people?
She recognized his inability to create an administration without chaos? She recognized his inability to work positively with Congress rather than snipe and instigate dissension? She recognized that he would bring liberal elements into his Administration, including his daughter whose projects would be given taxpayer funds? She recognized that he would be dogged by investigations that dragged on as a result of his own idiocy? She recognized that he would release a budget where his budget director would have to say, "I wouldn’t take what’s in the budget as indicative of what our proposals are." She recognized that he would constantly undermine conservative progress by ill-advised late-night tweets? She recognized that he would flip-flop on calling China a currency manipulator? She recognized that he would share classified Israeli intelligence with an ally of Israel's foe? She recognized he would backstab a longtime ally in the Gulf over Twitter? She recognized that he would be totally unable to accomplish his "100 day" promise list? Etc.
She was right about all these things and still pushes him?
Wow, that's sad.

Why not? Most of them over there aren't deserving of more; I limit my remarks to those types. There's no need to dissect anything when all you have to do is read a post.
And I would say TOS's fealty of Trump is relative to the times we find ourselves in.
And why do you challenge me to defend others? It appears small and mean-spirited and a diversion from not having substantive points to present.
Why are you misrepresenting my post, which was a comment about TOS, to be a challenge to you or a personal affront when it clearly wasn't? If you feel compelled to defend them, that's your thing, not mine.
I would say that it's ridiculous to believe Trump is the next Washington and/or the best president in the history of the country, and it should be apparent.
Why not concentrate on your own opinions, present them and support them with policy facts and suggestions? This is, after all, a political discussion group.

No, I didn't agree with Session's stance on civil forfeiture. As far as his recusal...I don't know enough about the law to know why he did it. I suspect Trump doesn't either. I fear he is just having a "spell" because his family (and him) are under the gun.
Once again, IMHO, since he claims to be a business man...he should conduct himself in that manner.
I really do want for Trump to do well. It's in the best interest of the country. But he shoots himself in the foot with Twitter. The times I think things might be o.k. is when he isn't tweeting.
Sessions and everybody else dumped by this administration could come out smelling like roses in the end.

EXACTLY!
From Cavuto's show this afternoon:
It’s pretty undignified for the president to be going out and publicly shaming his attorney general. If you have an issue with the attorney general, you bring him in behind closed doors and you try to get on the same sheet of music, but right now what you’re doing is you’re undermining his ability and his authority to carry out what is supposed to be the #1, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America. (Lt. Col. Allen West)
You and Col. West have stated it perfectly, and FWIW, I'm in full agreement.
I really do want for Trump to do well. It's in the best interest of the country. But he shoots himself in the foot with Twitter. The times I think things might be o.k. is when he isn't tweeting.
I also agree with this except that I'd add one thing: ...he shoots himself and us in the foot with Twitter....

@berdie
The purpose for recusal is to eliminate oneself (or another) from participating in a trial or investigation where one may have (or appear to have) a bias or conflict of interest.
Since Sessions was undeniably and incrementally participant in Trump's election, his self-recusal is not only justified, but honorable. Had he remained, the investigation would have been branded as unjust and skewed in Trump's favor - And the weight of that would have fallen upon Sessions himself.
The reason for recusal is so clear, and so apparent, that those who accuse him because of it are obviously either Republican or Trump sycophants.

Beautifully put. And I will add a few things:
1) sessions is wrong on drugs and caf. That doesn't make him a bad guy
2) not a single leftist or memb r of the media gave him any credit for doing the right thing.

"not a single leftist or member of the media gave him any credit for doing the right thing."
No amount of trying to appease liberals works. It does not matter if the economy booms, people get better jobs, medical care improves, etc.....nothing Republicans do ever satisfies liberals. Unless, of course, they give in to everything libs want.
To liberals, Sessions is simply an evil person who might not have done an evil thing. Bush II tried to appease libs to get support for the war by passing their bills. In the end he was still Bushhitler to libs.

Rush threads are buried and don't even show up on the front page's latest posts.
No one is stopping you from posting it.

So? Who the hell cares what you think of Rush?
It's pertinent to the topic and, well he's right 99.8% of the time.
Twenty-five years plus, with 27 MILLION listeners and growing.
Just because you got a hard-on for his not endorsing Ted Cruz..... :whistle:
And why exactly should we care what YOU think with a crap attitude like you're displaying?

I will give him credit for at least being honest about his departure from conservatism. After decades, he has changed the name of his "institute" from "The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies" to "The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Anti-Leftist Studies." Even so, it's tragic and infuriating to listen to him twist himself into a pretzel to accommodate all of Trumps shenanigans. I'm sure in doing so he picked up a number of new listeners, which is good for him because he needed to replace those of us he betrayed when he went squishy on conservatism.

Well he's saying that to a member expressing his opinion on Rush...seems fair to ask him the same question about his whinging. :shrug:

My old man textvmessaged me yesterday to tell me Rush said that Cruz was being considered for AG by Trump. I responded to him:
"Lyin' Ted for AG... you know the guy that is a Canadian, whose father assassinated JFK, and has an ugly Goldman Sachs employee wife? That Ted Cruz...for AG?
Yeah, right."
-
I think Ted is too smart to accept such an offer. It is a career killer, just ask Sessions...

Usually when I get the rare chance to listen to Rush, he's talking about LifeLock or his cats. He's Retired on Active Duty.
The only thing going for him is his competitors are more Always Trumpers than he.
-

@DB ...I hope to heck he is that smart. Let Guiliani do it, He has nothing to lose.
Myself...I would distance myself from this administration as much as I could. It's way too unstable.

I doubt they'd allow Guiliani in that position. Wasn't his claim to fame going after organized crime? The Clinton foundation is organized crime.

You could be right. But since Trump is all over Sessions right now about not going after Hillary (even tho he said not to) maybe Rudy is the right person.

I hadn't heard that. It just shows me that he is pretty darn smart. I just hope Ted is as well.

Alt right garbage like Cernovich have been pimping that Cruz for AG BS for almost 2 weeks. They still hate Cruz with a white hot rage but think they can fool people into helping push Sessions out because Trump lacks the man parts to do it himself.
And BTW, the new swamp creature Trump hired to drain the swamp is threatening Priebus with an FBI investigation. Apparently Trump's lacking man parts come into play there as well.

Maybe if Priebus helps the RNC come up with the dough to pay for Trump's attorney fees for the Russia thing the FBI investigation will go away.

It's fine but last I listened to Rush he spent half his time hacking these products. I have no problem with him selling extra stuff, but does he need to spend listener time promoting this stuff? Doesn't he have enough money?
Point is moot because now with him pushing Trump I no longer listen.

A bit O/T, but I hate the way talk shows of various stripes come out of a 5+ minute commercial break you leading in the next segment with an advertisement of their own...LifeLock, Tax Busters, etc.

Since she retired last year the wife has become a big fan of Rush. She actually likes Trump (groan) and overlooked all his sexist remarks. She doesn't overlook examples of sexist behavior from other pols or candidates, but she did for The Donald.
I'm not quite the Rush fan I used to be after his unabashed support for The Orange One, but now I'm forced to listen.
But even before Trump came along disrupting things I noticed Limbaugh was increasing the ad time on his programs. His last half hour is basically one huge ad with a little political talk here and there.
In the old days after the local news and ads were finished at about 25 minutes to the hour, Rush would start in on his topics. Now he might have a three or four minute ad right after the local news which means he won't start babbling about news topics until twenty minutes to the hour.
Hannity is worse, but I don't bother with him anymore after his disgraceful Trump a**-kissing during the campaign.
So when these clowns yammer about giving three hours of news every day, it's more like an hour and one half.
-
And how do we know the alleged Cruz supporters really support him or it's not a ploy? Time and again, we see some who don't agree with what Cruz says. Speaking of ploys, could be one. Some things said like that per SPLC sounds more like something one hears at the DU; or else speaking about some president from almost 100 years ago,

It appears that you don't truly listen to Rush's own words: he has said many times that his first priority is growing his audience so that he can charge confiscatory rates for advertising. He has learned his audience is dominated by Ever-Trumpers, and has adjusted his show accordingly.
I'll give a guy a break for being divorced once, not 3 or more. IMO your moral authority is gone when you've been through multiple divorces.
After his marriage to Marta, one would have thought he was wise to women attracted to his wallet, first and foremost.
My economics professor in college often asked female students: "what do you look for in a man? You look at his pocketbook, yes yes!"
He could get away with that in 1975, plus he was 80 YO. Dr. Erwin Graue, a brilliant economist and professor. He didn't suffer fools, Lord help you if you didn't have the right answer. He was my advisor for two years, and my macroeconomics professor for a semester. There was nowhere to hide, the class had five students.

I'd support whatever GOP candidate they served up.
If Scott Walker had been nominated, I'd say great record but some would fuss on what he has said about immigration.
You can fuss about any of these candidates.
I think McCain was the only bad candidate the GOP has nominated in my lifetime and that is because he is such a hawk.
Bush was a good candidate, as for president, I'm not going to be critical here. Rush isn't either. He tends to support the party within reason. He's unhappy with some budgets passed and blames the Republican party when that happens. So, he doesn't give them a free ride.

He lost me permanently when a woman called into his show during the primary to scold him about being so obviously in the corner for Trump and said that if Trump was the nominee she couldn't vote for him. He replied that she would be voting for Hillary if she didn't vote for Trump if he was the nominee.
That is when he lost any Conservative authority with me and I canceled my 24/7 and stopped listening to his show altogether.
I've actually turned them all off. Levin was the last one I held out listening to.
No point listening to those who only pay lip service to what they preach.

I listened to Rush ever since he came on the air up here in the NW, And I have never heard him endorse a candidate....always committing himself to hold the candidates whoever it is, feet to the fire and to his promises. Staying the objective one, which I respected...even when the candidate was a favorite of mine. This election he jumped head first onto the Trump wagon, and like Hannity cannot say a critical word about Trump. I lost respect for him, and stopped listening. Michael Medved is the only one I listen to today.

Cognitive dissonance. So used to calling him "Lyin' Ted" they can't imagine him ever telling the truth.
-
Somehow, somewhere in time the Sessions discussion morphed into Ted Cruz.
I'd have to go back to find out how and where.
But, I did go over to TOS to see how the Real Trumpers are leaning on this Sessions thing. An article from Ken Starr begging Trump to lay off the Sessions attacks was posted and only one poster agreed with Starr. The rest turned their attention to bashing Starr and ignored the premise of his article.
-

As a Trump supporter I never disparaged Sen. Cruz. My position was that Cruz could never have beaten Hillary. I stand by that assessment today.
Trump did what every candidate tries to do (keeping in mind that politics ain't bean bag): gain the upper hand and win the race.

Nor did I. Feel exactly the same way about Ted Cruz...or anybody but Trump.

Cruz is a great guy but I don't see the Charisma. Not at the level necessary to win a national election especially when the media is so lame.
GOP supported anybody but Trump and Cruz. Hell they supported Hillary better then they did either of these two.
Of course I'm a radical who thinks the GOP threw the last two elections.

And he has continued in the tradition of never taking good advice again ... from anyone.

Emjay, I'm kinda shocked... It is like someone hacked your account the last week or so (I'm not good at time, so it could have been longer). Was there something specific that happened that has changed your views?

Cruz has some baggage .... but beyond that he needs to work on his delivery. It's preachy and too long. Every answer goes back to the year of flood. He needs to study up on "elevator answers" ... and I'd be happy to help with this.

I saw entire articles written (and quoted on Bookface by fools like my wife's liberal niece) that Cruz could never win because he has a dishonest face. I told the niece this is stupid, and would only sway voters who would not vote for Cruz anyway if he was the last man on Earth, like her.
-
They clearly believe that doesn't matter. That winning is everything. They want to use Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to their own ends. And in doing so they've become no different than their original enemies.
THIS ^^^^
And their behavior is virtually indistinguishable from that which you would find at HuffPo or DU.

He lost me permanently when a woman called into his show during the primary to scold him about being so obviously in the corner for Trump and said that if Trump was the nominee she couldn't vote for him. He replied that she would be voting for Hillary if she didn't vote for Trump if he was the nominee.
That is when he lost any Conservative authority with me and I canceled my 24/7 and stopped listening to his show altogether.
I've actually turned them all off. Levin was the last one I held out listening to.
No point listening to those who only pay lip service to what they preach.
@INVAR
I would rarely get to listen to Rush, but I must have been travelling home from a field site visit that day and heard that same exact caller.
I had an identical reaction to you... all the way to the fact that Levin was last, as effective the day after the primary, I turned him off too.
It's just uncanny how we both had such a strong and similar reaction... like that guy in the TBR-banned picture, refusing to give the Hitlergruß/Bellamy Salute, was not alone.
-
Nope. I know you really need to cling to this @roamer_1 but you are wrong.
I'll leave it at that and hope it brings you some comfort.
@Right_in_Virginia
I am not wrong. I watched him do it every day for a year.
I challenged anyone, anyone at all, to come up with 10 minutes of his stumping that didn't contain a lie. Not a single taker.

You still don't understand what happened during the last election ... that carried over to every election in 2017. You still fail to see who stood up, why they did, and why they're not sitting down again. I wish I could help you with this ...

Emjay, I'm kinda shocked... It is like someone hacked your account the last week or so (I'm not good at time, so it could have been longer). Was there something specific that happened that has changed your views?
Hah!!!! No, not really. I still want to give Trump a chance and I still get annoyed if he does something good and no one will give him credit.
But , I gotta admit he is wearing me out with these self-inflicted injuries and the tweets get more idiotic all the time.
I'm still in the "better than Hillary" mode and I still think getting rid of the Clinton/Obama regime is worth a lot.
-
Should it matter when YOU do it?
I'm not a politician in the national spotlight.
No one on here has even come close to the definition of "character assination.
You seriously need to learn that when Trump is insulted it's not a personal insults to you.
It will cut down on people thinking you're part of a cult.
-
Yes, I remember, @Emjay So much for trying to be gracious to Ted Cruz. You force me, against my will, to reminder you Trump did something right ... he won. :shrug:
Now, please, stop doing that.
He did win and I tried to support him. I hate to say this to you because I have some admiration for you for being loyal and taking all the abuse.
But your blind devotion and glossing over any faults does not win friends for Trump. It just makes you look like a cultist.

Where's the real increase in military personnel and material? Hmmm don't see that anywhere.
What has he done for law enforcement?
He signed a spending bill with money for PP in it.
What has he done for business? He went soft on China the moment he was sworn in. Nothing done to punish them for harassing our surveillance planes or to stop them from their illegal take over of islands 500 miles off their coast.
He hasn't done anything for the oil business to speak of.
Still waiting for him to put us first....that's a lovely wall he's gotten Mexico to pay for.
That's a nice fairy tale you tell yourself to hide the fact that your guy hasn't done squat what he promised and probably never had any intention of doing most of it. He just spit out words so rubes like you would vote for him.

What makes it especially hard is when you're getting slammed as a NT in one thread while at the same time you're over on another discussion praising something Trump did.
The people trying to lump anyone into a NT group that even thinks about disagreeing with Donny never seem to have much to say on the threads where everyone is happy with what he's doing...unless they go in and blow it up because they can't stand to see everyone agreeing.
-
Pray tell, what are legitimate reasons that one can have for not tolerating Trump?
It's not the legitimate reasons ... it's the attitude.
I think a lot of good people voted for Trump for a lot of good reasons and I think they had to overlook his personal foibles to do so.
So, I don't buy the self-righteous act ... sorry about that.
-
I'd be willing to bet she's the cause of more than just you having that sentiment here.
Why do you insult your fellow Briefers with this? Are they not capable of forming an opinion---whatever it may be---and holding onto it through the sheer force of MY opinions?
It sounds more like you're promoting the end of rational, intelligent discussion with someone speaking in opposition to prevailing group think.
That's a shame @txradioguy Most adults enjoy interacting with smart people---even if they end up agreeing to disagree. The paradox is: each is better for it. You should try to embrace this.

And still being slammed and insulted for not having earned the right to agree with something Trump has done without first acknowledging our crime of not prostrating ourselves before his greatness and his mob of acolytes. Being enemy NTers , we must be opposed and attacked at every possible opportunity lest we infect the minds of those who might be persuaded with our observations that they were suckered and that Trump is not the savior they were hoping he would be.
The people trying to lump anyone into a NT group that even thinks about disagreeing with Donny never seem to have much to say on the threads where everyone is happy with what he's doing...unless they go in and blow it up because they can't stand to see everyone agreeing.

Nobody switched their vote for a candidate based upon anything Trump said about them.
Trump played on center court everyday.
His campaign strategy and personal style with those insults were more a tool to reinforce his image of a bonafide badass.
To associate his style with Alinsky screams 'drama queen'.

I think the common thread is destroy. Most in Washington wanted to destroy Cruz where Trump played a major part. Generally destruction is easy and building things is hard. Trump hasn't moved from destroyer to builder - and I don't think he can.

Simply not true. There were many in the primary on "our team" that demanded that we use Alinsky tactics, to use the same weapons against the left that the left has been using on the right. Trump was their fighter doing so. That was the turning point for TOS that I could not live with.

Emjay, just for the record. I'm not a good written communicator - which unfortunately is pretty obvious. I try to be brief, stick to the points and accurate as I can but that can come off as cold, humorless, etc. Other posters are much more expressive and you can get a better feel of their intentions. Only point, be careful assuming state of mind in the absence of actual evidence.

The people who voted for Trump would still be attacking people who saw through his chirade and didn't vote for him.
Only instead of claiming that the people who voted for a Conservative and not Trump wanted Hillary to win...they'd be accused of being the ones that put her in office...instead of possibly doing some self reflection and admitting the candidate they backed was a bad one.
They'd never ever take the blame for any part of what they'd done...just like now.

Rush has a record of conservatism, tear it down all one wants. He's posted on radio shows here. Cruz has been on his show and Rush gave Cruz strong backing. When folks are out criticizing a strong backer of the military, border security, American values, pro-life as Trump is....
It's not Rush's or Trump's conservatism I wonder about.
There's a political truism that's in books.

He's quite charismatic. The problem is that he is conservative and believes in the Constitution. That's why the GOP would have had a problem with him. He stands for everything they are against.
Okay, what Conservative measures has he had an effect on as a Senator.
People like Governor Walker have a real record on Conservatism and doing thingsa, until then, Cruz, who basically says what Rush says, are both wordsmiths.

Rubio and Kasich are the only other ones that could have defeated Hillary according to polls taken.
There is no sense in arguing with people when the other candidates moved their immigration policy closer to Trump's, one candidate campaigned with Trump; yet we hear a lot of excessive negativity from his supporters; it's also a distortion of the facts, the National Enquirer published a story that Oswald may have known Cruz per the distribution of pamphlets in New Orleans and Trump merely mentioned it, not the BS that Trump said Rafael Cruz tried to kill JFK. A lie.

"pound sand Trumpbot", tell that to half the country, you all probably defend abortion too.

No, @TomSea, that's not true and has been shown to be not true repeatedly. What was it, 19.6% of voters voted for Trump? No way can that be twisted into " half the people of this country".

You can keep repeating that lie all you want but it won't make it true.
Not even half of the entire population of the country votes in elections. So that right there shows how false what you're saying really is.

Well, you'd be wrong, TomSea. Please try to discuss the posted article civilly, without making false accusations about other members.

Defend SPLC? Next you will have NTs barbecuing kittens. Lies are unbecoming. The credibility you destroy is your own.

Don't be obtuse.
HALF the voting public ("people") voted for the man! He probably actually won the popular vote if illegals and dead people were removed for the rolls.

There are no numbers except the official ones. And so far as I know, Trump got 46%, Clinton got 48%. So no, even if he did win the popular vote (which he didn't) , he did not make up 4% to get HALF.
Officially, no, half the voting public did not vote for him.

Don't split hairs in a lame attempt to put words into Tom's mouth.

Tom didn't say "half the voting public"...he said half the population. You're trying to help him make an argument he didn't originally.
Less than half of the registered voters ever cast a ballot in a Presidential election anyway. 48% was the largest turnout on record and that was for Reagan in 84.
The numbers are far less during off year elections.
Nice try. Try harder next time.
And you're the one being obtuse. Hillary won the popular vote going away.

@roamer_1 and besides Tom stated half the population...not have the registered voters. DCP is debating a point that was never made.

He was coming from the entire voting politic. About 135M 'People'. Not total population. You know he misspoke, yet refuse to back-off, instead play games.
*look* ^-^

I don't know, but since the election was eight months ago and she lost, it doesn't matter.

Hah!!!! No, not really. I still want to give Trump a chance and I still get annoyed if he does something good and no one will give him credit.
But , I gotta admit he is wearing me out with these self-inflicted injuries and the tweets get more idiotic all the time.
I'm still in the "better than Hillary" mode and I still think getting rid of the Clinton/Obama regime is worth a lot.
@Emjay
Right, so in your point of view, it's all right to criticize Trump if and when you see fit. Others aren't on your timetable.

People change over time. An economist once said (I have no name to attribute, in fact a Google search says it's disputed who said it), "When I'm wrong I change my mind. What do you do?" I see Briefers change their minds all the time, and often I think they should be congratulated for it, it shows growth of character and intellect. Besides, we all have our own moral compass, no two are the same. :shrug:

I'm sorry @CatherineofAragon. My bad. I had a feeling it wasn't, but I failed to put a finger on it. Sorry. I almost didn't answer because I wasn't sure.

Thank you, Cyber Liberty. I have changed a couple of times so apparently I'm not totally rigid.
I changed after Trump was elected. I hated him all through the primaries but, although some resent any reference to Hillary, I was very glad we got rid of her. So I was glad Trump was able to do that and I tried to support him when I could and defended him when I could against people who refused to give him credit for anything.
So, lately, I've gotten a little weary of the never-ending self-inflicted wounds and have moved away a little.
But I'll never move into demeaning Trump voters. Some of them are worshippers but a lot of them thought Trump would bring needed changes. And he may yet.
But... ask me again tomorrow.

I still don't like the self-righteous ones who indicate that they are too morally great to vote for Trump no matter what the alternative..
I think the alternative was worse and I would have voted for Trump had I still been in Texas... at least I think I would and I certainly wouldn't denigrate those who did.
That's all I object to .... but remember, your brought this up, I didn't/

Pretty entertaining and informative too, but way to much insulting each other.
We all know it is fun to mock and ridiculed others, but did you know it is not actually fun to be the person being mocked and ridiculed?
Well I do.
I too LOVE and appreciate the Pro-Trump Briefers who keep this forum from becoming an echo chamber. The ones who voice their opinions, and make the Best argument, the Best, bar none, the very Best argument for the Trump administration...and I'm not the only one who is saying this.

There are also scolds who tell everybody who didn't like Trump early enough they're morally inferior for not climbing on the train at the start. Preening at others expense is still preening.

It is like the speed limit being 55 and someone driving 65 screaming at the guy driving 70 as being reckless and the other guy going 60 as clogging up traffic... Only their speed is safe and proper...
