    Reporter, asks a specific question…

    The goddamned president of the United States of America: you’re a dumdum.

    Yep. That seems about right after everything that’s happened up to now.

    I miss presidents (and administration members) that, yes, would spin, but would also respectfully (and coherently) state their arguments and cases to the press.

      This is what people voted for, precisely because they are tired of politicians who lie and spin. Wanting those in positions of power to “tell it like it is” comes from a genuine place of frustration to the democratic process.

        But they aren’t telling it like it is. They just insult and harass you for asking anything that questions their rule.

          I don’t disagree, but if the often excuse of “our hands are tied” in actuality means “we don’t give a fuck about you”, voters feel they might as well vote for the person who never even pretends to care to begin with. It’s a sign of voter apathy and loss of trust in the system.

        They wished for honesty instead of pretty words. Instead they voted for badly worded lies. Definitely not an improvement over anything. At least you could bring retort to pretty words. This buffoon just turns into a child.

          There is so much voter apathy. Voters don’t care anymore if the representatives-- who is supposed to represent them-- don’t care to begin with. Why vote for someone who keeps pretending, when you can elect someone authentic for better or worse?

            Don’t want to eat poop? Why not vomit?

            The fact that you’re continuing this point makes me feel like you’re an apologist to this administration. Do you feel that trading in a bad thing for an equally bad thing is progression? I would argue that it doesn’t matter why people have decided to vote in the way of Trump, it matters a lot what will happen after his term ends. Bringing the perspective of “Voters are just apathetic to the current system “ doesn’t bring into focus the real issues the country is grappling with. It is about lack of education, lack of resources, and people who are too distracted trying to survive, they cannot dedicate true cognitive function to much else. If you want to ignore all the systemic suppression and abuse- then yes; let’s focus on the more pressing matter, the fact that politicians come across as uncaring spin doctors.

    Aside the topic at hand, they are so pathetic. He is in mar a Lago and needs a desk to hide behind and that is what they come up with? A camping table with a piece Molton on it? It’s not as bad as the four seasons landscaping debacle but still pathetic.

      If Democrats were a real opposition party now would be a good time to start hammering on the 25th. All it takes is Vance plus a simple majority of the president’s cabinet (15 people total, 8 for a majority). They could start smearing Vance and every member of the cabinet for being responsible for letting a senile nearly 80 year old abuse the highest powers of state and sell favors to foreign countries.

        The important part is that you managed to blame the democrats for what the republicans are failing to do.

        Oh, is that all? Maybe the Democrats are smart enough to know that Republicans will never willingly get rid of Trump. He’s their entire party. Or maybe they’re smart enough to know that Vance and half the Cabinet don’t give a fuck about Dems calling for the 25th amendment. How fucking dumb do you have to be to think Vance and the Cabinet are gonna be like “hey, you’te right Dems, never thought of that. We’ll do that now that you’ve suggested it”.

        As usual, we hold Democrats to impossible standards and roll out the red carpet for Republicans.

          The point is to make them look bad for not doing it and not as a way to actually make them do it. But I hope you feel better for getting that off your chest, or something. Sorry I didn’t vote hard enough from my blue city in my blue county in my blue state.

              How’s screaming that they are all pedos working out? Because so far it looks like it doesn’t make any Republicans lose office. Dems need to play politics or go home.

    At this point, just run the country by LLM. It’ll hallucinate just as much, but at least it’ll do it while making a coherent sentence.

    I think everyone is making a mistake here. Everyone else’s definition of “vetting” is different than Trump’s definition. This is causing an impasse in the arguments, as he is arguing a completely different point. He defines “Extreme Vetting” through a color chart.
