There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

WOW!!

The last 5 minutes of that interview are a must see.

If you were showing that to class of students who had to analyse the response and the attempted distraction..

edition.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/kellyanne-conway-jake-tapper-interview-cnntv/index.html

In a nutshell:

Press should respect the Office of the President
So what if he lies, you should report good stuff.
Someone nearly used a fake twitter account to nearly write a story.
President says that US murder rate is highest in 47 years, says media aren't reporting it.
CNN says media aren't reporting it because the murder rate is NOT the highest it's been in 47 years.
CNN thinks Presidents should not be lying.
Kelly Anne tries to talk about meeting instead.

Fucking hell

But how can an ordinary person - say, a person that may have voted for Trump - sort out those things that are true from those that are not? And do you think they would make an effort to do so?

TheClaws · 08/02/2017 00:45

So what if he lies??? Shock Is she for real?

So what if he lies

I might have paraphrased that Grin

"Are they more important than the things he says that are true?"

If DS said that - well I told you loads of lies but I did say some great things that are true

Aha. The definite and indefinite articles? Wink

I wish I had her confidence. She's like a trump terminator.

PausingFlatly · 08/02/2017 00:56

Well Trump doesn't respect the Office of the President. So I'm not sure how anyone else can.

Respect needs to be earned. The Office of the President deserves someone who respects the Office.

heads up, new tweet

'Donald J. Trump ‏*@realDonaldTrump*

It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country. Obstruction by Democrats!'

translation-I cant get my act together but it's somebody elses fault Hmm

TheClaws · 08/02/2017 01:19

I watched the Tapper interview ami - thanks for posting it. I think you summed it up well. Kellyanne is very carefree with truths and tries to sidetrack Tapper by babbling on about something else when he asks something troubling. Tapper's expression = smelling a dead fish

TheClaws · 08/02/2017 01:20

Is it actually the longest delay in US history?

cozietoesie · 08/02/2017 01:22

Good question. Smile

(I have no idea.)

Formerpigwrestler9 · 08/02/2017 01:23

if you have the patience of a 2 year old then probably yes :o

You'd think by now he'd go to the trouble of verifying the data he dashes off in his twittles. FGS.

TheClaws · 08/02/2017 02:06

BTW, thanks SanFranBear!

ZebraOwl · 08/02/2017 02:18

Your suggestion that Trump might take to fact-checking just made me laugh[-cough] so hard it has upset my cats. A truly heinous crime. For shame! And I bet that CNN won't give this unprovoked attack ANY coverage, either...

TheClaws · 08/02/2017 02:27

Very sorry to ZebraOwl's cats. Grin Must think before I type such astonishing statements!

TheMysteriousJackelope · 08/02/2017 02:33

I've just read in The Huffington Post (for what that is worth) that President Trump is butthurt because he signed an executive order appointing Bannon to the National Security Council without reading it and realizing that he was appointing Bannon to the National Security Council.

That can't be true can it?

Wow, just went over to Fox News and it's reported there too, and the Fox comment page has either suffered a liberal invasion or the Republicans are pissed, the majority of comments voice disgust apart from a couple of 'Go Trump Go' type remarks.

I am going to buy a bathrobe tomorrow.

ZebraOwl · 08/02/2017 02:59

The ZebraCats have Thought Deeply (see picture for evidence of profundity of thinkyness - & my extreme coolness, clearly, with my unicorn bedlinen...) & I have their permission to accept TheClaws' apology. They are gracious like that... gracious, and already asleep again. Oh, to sleep so easily...

The most unreported thread ever. Trump thread 9

I withdraw my Claws in profound gratitude to the ZebraCats. May we all learn from their serenity and wisdom Wink
