Jesus! He can't even stay on one rant subject. He's clearly not that pissed off about phone taps (and there's no way that's news to him either). He can be goaded by an actor into being an arse on Twitter.

I take back everything I was worried about earlier this week, even yesterday, about someone taking over his comms, and I bow down to everyone who said it couldn't last.

What a fucking dickhead.

CussingQuim · 04/03/2017 13:28

Then again, what am I saying. He's already proven he can do and say anything and people will forget the next time he nicely reels off a prepared speech.

GingerIvy · 04/03/2017 13:29

I prefer they let him continue to tweet. Every moment he behaves in an unhinged manner is a few more people from his fan base that think "hmm....."

Placemarking.

Just for general information my congressman is on the Foreign Affairs Committee. I phoned his office and asked why they aren't calling for an investigation into the Russian ties with the White House. I got a two page letter back that started off with describing the New York Times as 'a notoriously partisan and dishonest organization'. He's troubled about the 'largely unsubstantiated' accusations. I guess possible strong Russian influences on the White House don't bother him, but people talking about it does.

He also said we shouldn't be distracted about this but should worry about healthcare costs due to the ACA and how we'll be like Greece in 20 years. I agree with that, but if they stopped going to war every five minutes maybe there'd be money to pay for poor people's cancer treatment.

Jackelope what a non-answer. Atleast you made your opinions known

CussingQuim · 04/03/2017 14:18

Easy for me to say as I don't have to do it, obviously, but I hope you write back Jackelope and say how disappointing that is given the massive indications of Trump collusion with Russia. Well done on writing at all though Smile

Looks like Mr President woke up with a lot on his mind...

Looks like he needs to get laid.

(Isn't that what is often said to women?)

That is not the main issue. Health costs in the US are disproportionately expensive. Probably due to the private insurance based system.

CussingQuim · 04/03/2017 14:28

Robert Costa tweet: "Several Trump advisers woke up this morning surprised by the president's tweets. They weren't told of his plans, a 2nd official says."

Otherwise known as

"Fucking hell! Who gave him the fucking password?!"

That flurry of tweets! I just.....It's like.....well, I don't know what it is, other than the ramblings of someone who doesn't have a solid grip on reality.

But the people that are controlling him (Bannon et al) won't care how deranged he sounds as long as they can keep manipulating him by flattery to continue to do their bidding. The GOP won't care as long as he parrots their 'party line' and he signs their bills into law.

As much as I find SNL and Alec Baldwin's Trump sketches hilarious, I'm beginning to think we shouldn't really be laughing at them. Does it trivialize what's happening and make it seem less dangerous? I don't know.

Man, is Trump going to be pissed when he learns that the FISA warrant from last year came from his buddy Comey/the FBI and not Obama.
