Dear Leader declares the media an enemy of the state.
They dared report on Epstien.

The Don says NEW YORK TIMES 'serious threat to national security'...
As was pointed out elsewhere it appears Trump has stumbled onto the idea that when national security is involved the president’s powers are at their strongest so now he’s claiming literally everything is a national security issue.

Comes down again to the question of what our government is supposed to do when the chief executive has zero interest in acting in good faith.

20 GDP points in a year? Or more?
He's snorting too much adderall.

This moron has no fucking idea of past GDP's for the US.
Highest on record is 7% in 1984.
Previously an approximate 10% jump was done in a year in post FDR/WWII in the mid 50's.

This is the GDP growth by presidential admins since hoover.
It's pretty clear that actual numbers mean jack shit to him. Wouldn't be surprised if he can't even actually do math.

This article is just brutal towards Trump:


If you actually read it and get past the part about the polls it talks about the genus running doj and even cbs....

I almost feel sorry for you fellows, so much anger and hate in your soul. It must really suck to live like that.
I dropped in here because I was called, and it's all gone exactly as I new it would, so I'm all done. You boy's enjoy yourselves and go on pretending that your foul dispositions are of some value. I'll be busy enjoying Christmas.
That's the difference between you and us. We have souls. You just that empty husk wasting oxygen and calories.

If thinking that makes you feel better I'm ok with it. Picture me living in a run down mobile home on the edge of a swamp, sick, filled with hate because of the horrible conditions I live in, the filth and poverty surrounds me like a blanket of despair. My only joy is the suffering of others.

I bet your smiling now.

Merry Christmas!

Why would I lie to you about anything? I have no need or desire to prove myself to you or anyone else. You know nothing about me, but like so many others here you believe I should accept your political beliefs as my own or be subject to your anger. The oddest thing about it is that you think this is rational.

You have thrown so many souls under the bus that you have forfeited your own. I am pretty convinced that you are a straight up psychopath. Nothing to do with politics either way.

At the very least greenman is totally lacking in empathy. Although that seems to be a requirement to be a modern conservative.

It is entirely rational when those beliefs are things like ‘it’s bad to attempt a coup’ and ‘it’s bad to commit sex crimes’.

Despite overwhelming evidence of guilt of both for Trump you support him. Doesn’t it seem rational to be angry at someone for supporting a serial sex criminal who tried to overthrow the government?

Edit: if you respond to this at all I imagine it will be by denying either happened. That’s also not rational though as we’ve already discussed the coup attempt and he was found to have digitally raped a woman by a jury. (Not to mention he confessed to serial sexual assault on tape)

The dude is basically a troll now it’s better to not engage because there isn’t a point to it. He’s not man enough to offer up opinions on any real topic or smart enough to back up any opinions he does have. His whole schtick as with a lot of republicans/righties/maga is to plop something provocative and watch everyone react.

There really is no point in engaging with people like them. If we want reasoning and differing opinions on any topic I’d say 99% of us could argue any side of a topic and present a better more coherent argument for it then any person on the right could muster up. I say let them have the world they created and let’s focus on making the world a better place. His time is quickly coming to an end anyway so why bother with the troll?

if by "accepting our political beliefs," you mean "stop supporting pedophiles for decades and especially now, Nazi pedophiles"--yeah, that's pretty much all we ask.

But clearly that's too much to ask for you.

It's more than clear to us that you really love pedophiles. and also especially Nazi pedophiles. This isn't hyperbole by any rational observation of what is happening in the US today. This is exactly what is happening. You are either OK with that or you are not. You have made it perfectly clear that you are OK with that.

Don't forget that he also raped his first wife! which he first admitted to in a deposition, in response to her biography claiming this.

I mean I could go on for a long time. 34 felonies, dozens of other sexual assault claims against him, stealing top secret documents from the government and attempting to hide the theft, etc.

The guy is a sex offender, a massive, lifelong criminal, and the only president to ever attempt a coup.

@Greenman will probably just declare that none of that counts or none of it happened because otherwise he has to confront some very ugly truths about what he’s been voting for during the last 10 years or so.

I think the right has gone away from “fake news”, “it never happened”, to “you guys just hate Trump no matter what”. They really think our dislike of Trump comes from pure hate and has nothing to do with his numerous failings as a person, a businessman, or as president. His failings are then just a matter of the left hating him, circular reasoning at its finest. It’s why they won’t ever comment on his failings. Tariffs not working and hurting the economy? Just liberal hate. Doge costing the government billions and lying about their cuts/savings? More liberal hate. Convicted felon? Deep state liberal hate. Pay for play for the benefit of trump, personally and his family? But, but Biden. They are a complete waste of time.

This is literally the same thing that happened with Bush. People may have forgotten but the precursor to TDS was BDS where conservatives claimed liberals only hated Bush because of some emotional derangement.

Then when Bush proved himself terrible beyond any doubt they pretended all that never happened and that they never liked him to begin with. It’s all bad faith bullshit. After all while it was 20 years ago there are tons of current Trump voters who were enthusiastic Bush supporters only to now decide Bush was bad because Trump says so.
