Today, on behalf of the American people, I received an American flag that flew aboard a ship carrying the first waves of U.S. Service Members to land in Normandy...

He then proceeded to hump said American flag, again on behalf of the American people.

I bet Trump thinks these things are been given to him to keep.

Oh, come on. Do you really think President Trump is the kind of guy who thinks he is more important than America as a whole? And therefore is receiving a personal gift? As if it were something he could auction off later and keep the money?.

Why you might just as well ask if he is so self-centered, so mercenary, so covetous that he expects to charge admission to his Presidential Library and keep all that money?


Answer Key:
Hell Yes! (Also acceptable: **** yes)
Yes
Yes

Probably yes.

In ten years there'll be a framed flag in one of his properties ID'd as this historic one. Bet on it.

Probably in more than one of his properties.

That would be appropriate if Donald Trump's approval rating wasn't holding solid (and actually rising within the GOP).

That can mean either more people in the GOP like Donny, or that is just the same old reactionary rear-guard and the GOP is shrinking dramatically.

Trump hangs out HIS OWN supporters!

But Trump attempted to distance himself from the chant on Thursday, saying he “was not happy” with the phrase, which was reminiscent of the “lock her up” rallying cry against his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

The president said he thought he ended the chant at the rally, saying “I felt badly about it.” But video shows him pausing his remarks and not admonishing his supporters. He added he “would certainly try” to stop the chant in future.

IOW, it wasn't his fault, it was the crowd's fault.

What an absolute turd.

FTFY

Humans are both sinners and saints, both as groups and as individuals, as much as people might want to deny one or the other of those

Well, I'd rather laugh with one group than cry with the other, and besides, they're much more fun.

I think a lot of the news networks are finally relizing the Frankenstein monster they created back in 2015 with their massive coverage of Trump, giving him much more coverage then the other GOP Candidates because they thought Trump Meant Ratings.
The head of CNN actualy said as much when he was criticized for the massive coverage Trump was getting on CNN.

July is ratings month in the U.S. If that changes, it ain't gonna be done in the next two weeks.

Support for the GOP is nearly twice that for the Democrats in the military

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/...ng-political-tension-in-the-ranks-poll-shows/

Law enforcement leans Republican. More so if probation officers are excluded.

Which then plays to the GOP view that people on the left are violent threats to US democracy and should be treated as such....

Oddly, your first source was on Oct 17th and this same source on Oct 15th said this:

Support for Trump is fading among active-duty troops, new poll shows

I was leaving a happy hour at National Harbor this evening. National harbor is a really touristy place south of DC on the Maryland side of the Wilson Bridge where people like to stay if they drive into town and take the tours of DC. There was a Trump supporter dressed in a vague mockery of a Continental Soldier's uniform, asking passer-byes to support Trump. I called him a ****, and told him his kind shouldn't be around decent people, throwing in a "boy" at the end though he was well my senior. Then I split at his feet. He just stood there flabbergasted, which is what I expected being as Trump supporter stupidity is his natural condition.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Holding solid, yes. But come on, there are variations in polls and margins of error. Is there a clear trend or are people simply over-reading a single poll as a trend.

Most of the MS-13 Gang members indicted & arrested in L.A. were illegal aliens, 19 of 22. They are said to have killed many people in the most brutal fashion. They should never have been allowed in our Country for so long, 10 years. We have arrested and deported thousands....

....of gang members, in particular MS-13. ICE and Border Patrol are doing a great job!

Wow, a whole 22 of these vicious gang members arrested. Gee, that's frightening.

Investigating Trump's claims:

22 MS-13 Gang Members Charged With Machete Murders In Angeles National Forest

It might be one machete murder. MSNBC says 4 were machete murders and confirms Trump's numbers of undocumented teens.

The 22 suspects were indicted by a grand jury last week on charges of committing and/or coordinating the murders of seven people over the past two years, according to a federal RICO indictment unsealed Monday. ...

Seven murders over two years?

The suspects murdered rival gang members and those were they believed were informers, the Justice Department reports. One of the victims was 15-years-old, the indictment reads. Another was a homeless man who was shot and killed in January while he slept at a rec center in North Hollywood, an area controlled by MS-13. ...

In total, MS-13 is believed to have murdered 24 people in the L.A. metro area over the past two years, federal prosecutors say.

Without being tedious looking for 2019 or 18 data (others are welcome to pursue the data): Fast-forward to 2015's year-end stats: 649 people perished as a result of homicide in the county. ... In 2014, 587 people were murdered.

So taking those 2 years, 24 out of ~1200 murders were committed by MS13 gang members. Whoa! That's so scary.

Trump is such an ass.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Wow, that came out of nowhere.

No, it didn't. People in Puerto Rico are currently protesting against the governor. He made racist, homophobic comments he has since walked back. The protestors want him to resign, his apology isn't good enough.

Trump is just taking advantage of that unrelated matter. He loves to blame the Puerto Ricans for Trump's mishandling of hurricane Maria relief.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

The mayor is in the news today.

No, that's not the issue. It's the governor.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

I'm glad to see the news is finally using the word 'lie' instead of euphemisms when it comes to Trump's... well...lies. Today Trump stated that he was "not happy" with the "send them back" chant used at his rally last night and that he stopped the chant. Both are outright lies and the CNN News anchor Brianna Keilar said "He lied". The video proves he lied:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-he-was-not-happy-about-send-her-back-rally-chant/

And what's more ridiculous, the media is also arguing if they should be saying Trump is a racist or only saying he Tweeted 'racist-like" comments.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

The first 5 minutes of every hour of news should be fact-checking this turd. They should be willing to point out when his facts are correct, but every lie needs to be called out repeatedly between now and next November.

If the Democrats were smart they'd be echoing this stuff right now. The GOP is already sending the bot and troll armies out with attacks on the 'radicals' in the Democratic Party.

I think the news media is still struggling with their addiction to the Trump Reality Show. They seem to be going back and forth.

Did they ever stop? We have more than one on ISF.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

No, they haven't ever stopped. And they are still vilifying the Clintons. But now they are shifting to the 2020 Democratic candidates. And the DNC looks like a deer in the headlights.

 

[theprestige]

Pure insanity. No one has the stones to hold the scumbag-in-chief to account for anything because they live in fear of political consequences. WE'RE LIVING THE POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES!

Nuclear war when?
