Trump's Second and Third year in office
Quote: TigerWuI feel like some of these folks aren't even watching the video to make up their own minds or to get all the information; they just automatically defend Trump no matter what, even when he's objectively in the wrong.
That is exactly what's going on. This kind of thing from the POTUS is indefensible. It's amazing how far people will debase themselves to defend this indecency.
If that hurt her feelings, she needs to get in another line of work.Quote: SteverinosWhat is so hard about this:
He insulted her BEFORE she asked her question.
If that hurt your feelings, you should avoid reading any more POTUS interviews. See how this free thing works?
Not every waking moment a pres has can be spent coddling reporters, especially those there with an derogatory agenda.
I think he should bar attack "news" orgs from briefings. That would still satisfy the 1st, as there would be plenty of other press agency's available.
This is ridiculously silly.Quote: SteverinosThat is exactly what's going on. This kind of thing from the POTUS is indefensible. It's amazing how far people will debase themselves to defend this indecency.
Quote: ams288For someone with as frail an ego as Donald, it kind of is.
Anyone else and it’d be no big deal.
We all know Republican politicians tap their shoes in the stalls for extra toilet paper
And a few happy endings
Quote: petroglyphThis is ridiculously silly.
Hey, look at that, we agree! It is silly!
Instead of saying "I'm sorry", she should've said,..."Why don't you go f**k yourself."
Quote: petroglyphIf that hurt her feelings, she needs to get in another line of work.
We're not talking about her feelings. We're talking about Trump being an a**hole to her for no reason.

If a President's feelings are hurt by reporters with a derogatory agenda, he needs to get in another line of work.
Quote: SteverinosHey, look at that, we agree! It is silly!

Let's all remember this incident the next time a Democratic President is even REMOTELY short with someone from the press corps, and we'll see how his/her detractors react...

You seriously are suggesting barring news organizations you dont like would be protected under the 1st amendment because ones you do like can still get interviews?
Thats the way Putin and other dictators do it btw
RonC - you seem to have more sense than the above suggestion. Do YOU see why its difficult not to lump all the righties into this insane read and interpret everything wrong bubble
Perfect example of what liberals think is fair.Quote: SteverinosInstead of saying "I'm sorry", she should've said,..."Why don't you go f**k yourself."
That is how you want the POTUS spoken to? Maybe in private, I'm sure DT could handle it just fine. But not on international news.
Where in Roberts Rules would she be allowed to completely change the topic of the briefer?

You tell me. It's exactly what you've done with this discussion.

So you think it's okay for the President to treat reporters like s*** on international news?
Quote:Where in Roberts Rules would she be allowed to completely change the topic of the briefer?
She shouldn't. What does that have to do with Trump acting like a jerk before she even had a chance to ask a question?
Quote: petroglyphWhere in Roberts Rules would she be allowed to completely change the topic of the briefer?
She hadn't even had the opportunity to change the topic before he insulted her.
There are limited amounts of seats in the briefing room, would you have seats allotted for the Onion, the Enquirer, RT etc.?Quote: darkozYou seriously are suggesting barring news organizations you dont like would be protected under the 1st amendment because ones you do like can still get interviews?
Thats the way Putin and other dictators do it btw.
There are only so many minutes in each day, keeping meetings in order is more efficient than allowing chaos.
You do use "dictator" fairly loosely btw.
I have never registered Rep. in my life of voting [since 1974], I'm not a Trump supporter, yet you feel it your duty to call me names.Quote:.... Do YOU see why its difficult not to lump all the righties into this insane read and interpret everything wrong bubble
Quote: petroglyphPerfect example of what liberals think is fair.
Hell yeah I think it's fair. We have the most insulting and demeaning POTUS in our history. We have to start fighting fire with fire.

Trump: "That's okay, I know you're not thinking. You never do."
Vega: "I'm sorry?"
Trump: "No, go ahead."

Trump: "Go ahead."
Somebody explain to me why it's okay for the President of the United States to act that way in public towards a private citizen.

I always remember not to lump all liberals in with Sheila Jackson Lee.
Anything that could be construed to be an insult or furthers your agenda will be attempted to be used by your "side".Quote: SteverinosShe hadn't even had the opportunity to change the topic before he insulted her.
I hope that's the worst insult any of us ever have to endure.
Bombing a country into the stone age is an insult, you can keep your dr. [lie] is an insult, wmd's,.... "you aren't thinking",,,pfft.
What kind of job do you have, where the boss doesn't set people strait once in awhile?
Does the POTUS not have free speech?Quote: TigerWuSomebody explain to me why it's okay for the President of the United States to act that way in public towards a private citizen.
Quote: SteverinosWhat is so hard about this:

He was clairvoyant. And saved time obviously.
Quote: petroglyphDoes the POTUS not have free speech?
Yes.
So you're okay with the President of the United States being an a**hole to private citizens on national news for no reason?
You seemed awfully defensive of how the President should be treated in public:
Quote:That is how you want the POTUS spoken to? Maybe in private, I'm sure DT could handle it just fine. But not on international news.
....but when it goes the other way, "Eh, f*** it, free speech, right? Who cares..."

No one can. It really is amazing that he can be THAT RUDE! But it does not affect the way he governs. He got his trade deal. He got his Supreme Court Justice. He got his tax plan. He doesn't get everything, as we have a Congress that keeps him in check somewhat. President Haley will never be that rude. Nor will President Klobuchar.

We have a lot of TRUMP's to work though before we get to the Haley's and Klobuchar's.
I don't see it as him being a hole, or him trying to keep the meeting from turning to chaos, as no reason. I am absolutely not insulted. If you or she are insulted, maybe search for your safe space?Quote: TigerWuYes.
So you're okay with the President of the United States being an a**hole to private citizens on national news for no reason?
Having worked for bosses, been a boss, and seen bosses of large company's, I've never known them to let the audience dictate the course of info disseminating.Quote:You seemed awfully defensive of how the President should be treated in public:
Taking abuse by all 7 billion people on the planet is not what he was hired to do.Quote:....but when it goes the other way, "Eh, f*** it, free speech, right? Who cares..."
Are you really that offended ? You people seem to have had a pretty protected life if that's what sends you home. In some cases yes, people do need a thicker skin. I'd say being a reporter on national network news would be one of those places. If a reporter wants to keep coming to pres briefings, they need to learn a certain etiquette, and not just try to derail the briefing. Simple.
Quote: Maverick17We have a lot of TRUMP's to work though before we get to the Haley's and Klobuchar's.
Can all those TRUMPs really be President from prison?
Quote: petroglyphIf a reporter wants to keep coming to pres briefings, they need to learn a certain etiquette, and not just try to derail the briefing. Simple.
What was the EXACT breach of etiquette that Vega displayed that made it okay for Trump to respond with "That's okay, I know you're not thinking. You never do."?
Please be as specific as possible.
Quote:Taking abuse by all 7 billion people on the planet is not what he was hired to do.
If 7 billion people are abusing you and criticizing your decisions, you might want to take a step back from your life and figure out what you're doing wrong.
And if you don't want to do that, you probably shouldn't be the President of the United States.
Quote:Are you really that offended ?
No, I just expect my Presidents to have more decorum and respect than a 6th grader in charge of a group science project.

What names did I call you?
Republican? Sorry if I did. Didnt mean to offend you
Quote: RonCI always remember not to lump all liberals in with Sheila Jackson Lee.
Thanks
Now we can all get along
Quote: petroglyphIf you or she are insulted, maybe search for your safe space?
A safe space like this one?
"Now, the Trump administration proposes to dramatically limit the right to demonstrate near the White House and on the National Mall, including in ways that would violate court orders that have stood for decades. The proposal would close 80 percent of the White House sidewalk, put new limits on spontaneous demonstrations, and open the door to charging fees for protesting."
Hope it doesn't get too hot at the White House next summer... I hear snowflakes have a very low melting point.
Quote: RSIt sounded very much like she said, “I’m not thinking...”, at least to me when I watch it. I’d bet every dollar I have that’s what Trump heard, too.
She did say that. She probably WAS shocked that he picked her. Then he insulted her. And when she asked her to repeat it by saying, "I'm sorry?", he responded like a 12 year old in middle school by acting like he didn't say what he just said.
He's a jerk. I don't give a s**t if the economy is ROARING. It's not worth it for our country to debase ourselves for this guy. What a black eye on our nation's history.
Quote: RSIt sounded very much like she said, “I’m not thinking...”, at least to me when I watch it. I’d bet every dollar I have that’s what Trump heard, too.
I thought that's what she said at first, too, but then I listened to it again and she clearly says, "I'm not... Thank you Mr. President."
Regardless, his response, even if she DID say, "I'm not thinking," was completely inappropriate.

Actually, yeah, you're right. I'm not sure if she said that or not after a few more listens.
breathlessly awaiting 'Trump's Katrina'.
Instead we get Trump in the Oval,
with maps set up, tracking the storm.
And hourly contact with the FL governor.
They don't get that Trump is a hurricane
guy, he's lived in FL since 87. He would
never do what Bush did.

Trump is headed to Pennsylvania as we speak for a campaign rally.

Tell Puerto Rico to check Trump's shoes.

So you’re saying the guy currently headed to the campaign rally is a body double and the real Trump is in the Oval?

I get why Trump lies
But why do his supporters lie as well?
Sit and stare at a weather map?
If and when it goes down in Florida or any other state, YOUR PRESIDENT will be ready, willing, and able to put the plan He and His staff outlined into action.
Liberal worthless presidents smoke cigarettes in the Rose Garden plotting who to blame for their actions.
YOUR PRESIDENT leads.

YOUR PRESIDENT leads.
Puerto Rico is out of paper towels. Quick, somebody get Trump down there so he can practice his freethrows!

Honestly I think Trump embezzled the paper towels
He got caught with some stuck on his shoe the other day
Quote: RonCI love the whole "low information voter" thing that some bring up. Though most won't admit it, there are PLENTY of low information voters on each side.
Sadly, I believe the majority of Americans, from all sides, fully qualify as such. Neither party seems to care about helping them educate themselves.

Apparently they’re only worried about due process for men who are credibly accused of sexual assault.
Why can't you just say that you disagree with the guy and go from there?
