It's a bigly Trump thread. Another beauty. But you don't need to know what's in it. I don't have to tell you. So there.

Just checking in after wading through the absolute mess that was that press conference transcript.

So many things that just make you Shock. He answered nothing, repeated shit that was old weeks ago, attacked the media and basically rambled incoherently and pointlessly. Was there anything to actually take out of that? Argh, he makes me so angry.

And so they should be, Ginger.

Marcipex · 16/02/2017 23:20

He was awful.
Terrifying stuff.

Uranium is used for things.

WH dismisses six staffers for failing background checks: report hill.cm/2Z6SBzJ

Cozie, it was Sebastian Gorka. Every time Evan Davis asked him a question he refused to answer on the basis the the BBC are pedalling the fake news agenda. There was just something incredibly unsettling about him.

Polonium too, or so I hear. Grin

I note Patriot Barbie was nowhere to be seen. For that matter, Angry Spice has been rather quiet as well..

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 23:23

Thanks, chartreuse.

What on earth are these questions that the 6 WH staffers didn't answer correctly?

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 23:25

Twitter went mad during and after speech. Now it's dragging slowly - I think people are shell shocked.

cozietoesie · 16/02/2017 23:25

Patriot Barrie has likely been detailed off, Ginger.

GOP senator on Trump press conference: 'He should do this with a therapist, not on live television" hill.cm/PSFZZvF

Sorry. Barbie.

LatinForTelly · 16/02/2017 23:27

Patriot Barbie was on the front row on the right wasn't she? Or do you mean figuratively? Sorry probably being dense.

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 23:27

Trying to decide if she's been reassigned, fired, or buried on the West Lawn for knowing too much. Her husband is knee deep in it all too.

What on earth are these questions that the 6 WH staffers didn't answer correctly?

  1. The Donald a) has healthy, natural tanned complexion or b) has been Tangoed? (B is the truthful answer, A is the "correct" one.)
GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 23:27

Latin Oh! I didn't see her at all. Smile

MoonriseKingdom · 16/02/2017 23:29

Argggghhhhh!!!!

Sorry I have nothing coherent to contribute but I am reading it all.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 16/02/2017 23:30
  1. Look at these photographs of the Capitol during Trump's 2017 and Obama's 2009 inaugurations. Which crowd is objectively larger? (Obama is the truthful answer. Trump is the acceptable answer.)

You get the picture...

GingerIvy · 16/02/2017 23:31

Mort hahahaa yes - the crowd question.

There's no chaos- it's the exact opposite. This thread is running like a well oiled machine. Grin

The thing is, Ginger, aren't there at least some things that a therapist (or similar professional) is supposed to act on?
