Well, it has begun. The inauguration of Trump has passed. And on Saturday, a much anticipated statement was issued by WH Press Secretary Sean Spicer about what is most important in our country. Attendance numbers at the inauguration. And how the numbers were obviously greater this year than 4 or 8 years ago. Grass protection on the lawn just made it look like it was not as well attended as it really was. Well sh!t...Whew! Thank you for clearing that up!!!! This was followed by Trump's first meeting with the CIA, where he focused again, on what is important to the country. How evil the press is, and how great attendance was at the inauguration. (He did manage to praise the intelligence community about how he is their BIGGEST supporter....Perhaps they are idiots and haven't read any of his past few months of tweets. F'in liar... I digress....). This then followed by tweets about how TV RATINGS for his inauguration were really fantastic and much better than in the past!!!!!!
I'm really feeling good about this guy!!!!!!!!!!! He really knows what is important!!!!!!!! We have us a true leader in the oval office!!!!!!!!

I didn't really have a problem with any of that. The biased press got called out on relatively inconsequential lies. The bigger message from the Trump administration to the press was that they would hit back and that the administration would bypass the press whenever they felt the press wasn't honest. Previous administrations and most established power brokers have always taken the public stance that the press is honest and largely impartial - the impression that the press themselves push. The Trump administration does not start with that assumption and the message yesterday was a warning to the press. I agree with it. It remains to be seen however if that will cause the opposite problem and if the press will be too scared to report the truth when it comes to future Trump administration scandals. After 8 years of the press in the pocket of the Obama administration because they largely agreed with their ideology, I don't want them to also be in the pocket of the Trump administration because they're too scared of him.
Main line Intelligence analysts are not the same thing as senior level political appointees in the Intelligence community. The people who figure out specifically what is happening are usually not the same people who take that information and couch it it political terms and brief it. If there was a Trump "war" with the "intelligence community" as the press liked to report, it was with the old Obama appointees, not with the analysts nugging away at the problem set.
If you want to find fault with the first few days of the new administration... just look at his speech. Other than the parts about the 'best intersts of soverign nations', inner city problems, and citizenship... the rest of the speech was pretty dumb. He was exceedingly long on promisses that he has no ability to deliver - that's not inspirational, that's just dumb.

He (Sean Spicer) didn't even stick around to answer questions.....probably for the best,given all of them "alternative facts" swimming
around in his head.

F'in liar... I digress....
We can only hope he lives up to the shining example set by the previous Dear Leader... :roll:

Obama is so two days ago. You're really gonna have to come up with a new game plan that doesn't involve whining about him and Hillary every time the Trump administration messes up.
Also, from what I understand Politifact is part of the liberal fact checker conspiracy, so avoid using it. :)
In all seriousness though, Trump's speech was... cringy, and Spicer spending his time talking about a non-issue was totally bizarre. Who cares who had a bigger inauguration crowd? If they're going to cry and make excuses whenever the media is mean to them, it's just going to make them all look like they're the opposite of tough, driven, and serious, which is what they need to be striving for.

It's the game plan (whining about Bush) that Obama used for six... seven... eight years... :P

There's plenty of time for that. In the meantime, please, liberals, continue to work yourselves up into a white-hot lather over every inconsequential utterance by Trump and/or his administration. It has and will continue to provide an unending source of amusement for us conservatives as, all the while, Republicans whittle away at the massive number of regulations by fiat that Obama put in place, however temporarily, because he couldn't or wouldn't work with Republicans or Democrats to actually draft and enact legislation. 8)

Thanks for that. The unashamed (self-)entitlement on display there... Seems to be a common theme with liberals. I guess they're throwing temper tantrums since no one is going to entitle them for the next few years... :'(

When you watch the video pay attention to the husband, my god what a pathetic human being. When his wife opened her pie-hole he should have told her to shut the fuck up and leave the guy alone. Instead he sat there, impotent and spineless. He deserved to get kicked off the plane just for the fact he lacks testicals. :P

I'm sure he was in shock because, apparently, his mother had died...
What's funny is to see her change her tactics when her anti-Trump hate gets her no traction. 8)

At least some things or people namely Bubba stays the same: ;D

Yep, just like that. You can be a loud-mouthed self-entitled idiot or you can be a smug, morally superior self-entitled idiot or anything in between. :P

I was reading my own post and had to quote myself: It's funny that self-entitled idiots resemble their respective presidents, isn't it...? ;D

Okay now I can't tell if you're being serious or not :P

I gotta go check the stove, I think I hear the sound of the pot calling the kettle black.
