Trump's joint presser just now with Ursula von der Leyen was the most batshit crazy thing I have seen in ages

[Celerity]

He is fucking bonkers.

[dalton99a]

1. For the whole world to see

[Celerity]

3. thank you!

[FirstLight]

4. ugh, i gotta find a transcript....

can NOT with his voice or FACE

[cliffside]

21. Transcript is now up at the video link. nt

[FirstLight]

2. I cannot hear that man's voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard and nauseating all at once.

My hat's off to you for being a brave soul and watching!

What did he say now...? your reporting is vital to the group

[Celerity]

He non-stopped lied and went on insane tangents (windmills killing whales and birds/blocking his view on his golf course, ranting about Rwanda, whingeing about no one thanking the US for Gaza aid, said the US was the only nation giving aid to Gaza, and other various madness).

[FirstLight]

8. ...the usual spew...

I miss having a LITERATE president!

The dementia is off the fucking rails, why hasn't someone pulled the ripcord on the 25th Amendment yet? I bet Dems could bring it to vote... there's more R's now pissed off at him they could peel a few off?

[vanessa_ca]

12. The ballroom! Don't forget the bloody ballroom!

I'm less than 2 minutes in, but that really jarred me. I am not sure I can make it to the end.

[Celerity]

13. Yes, I left out a lot of his batshittery

[vanessa_ca]

17. 10 minutes, 52 seconds. That's my record after trying to listen 3 times. Nope. Done. Finito!

Thanks for the summary.

[KentuckyWoman]

27. You did better than me

I lasted about 2 minutes, a record for me, and killed the sound and turned on closed caption.

I don't believe for one second he's demented. I believe he knows exactly what he's doing. Telling the big lie has worked for him for over 70 years. Why change now?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

5. 🦇💩🤪❗️

[BootinUp]

7. Maybe that is what he strives for, just a thought. nt

9. .......merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation....

.......merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherence of our own nightly dreams. Thomas Jefferson

[harumph]

16. Begging your pardon; our nightly dreams are more worthy of examination.

[Liberal In Texas]

10. The country was dead before him. Somehow I don't remember it that way.

We had an administration fighting the pandemic and other diseases, inflation was getting much better, renewable energy was starting to make a difference in global warming. we had a president who had never been indicated let alone convicted of felonies. Among other things.

33. Perfect framing! Truly...

.

A traitor installed by Putin and maintained by John Roberts.

" maintained by John Roberts "

That connection really needs to be emphasized and kept in the spotlight.

Thanks!

"They come to me": Jane Roberts’ legal recruiting work involved officials whose agencies had cases before the Supreme Court

In newly revealed testimony, Jane Roberts, the wife of Chief Justice John Roberts said she worked for “U.S. attorneys, cabinet officials, former senators” and more.

By HAILEY FUCHS and JOSH GERSTEIN
Politico, 01/31/2023

EXCERPT...

Jane Roberts’ placements included at least one firm with a prominent Supreme Court practice, according to the complaint, which also includes sworn testimony from Roberts herself, in which she notes the powerful officials — whose agencies have had frequent cases before her husband — for whom she has worked.

“A significant portion of my practice on the partner side is with senior government lawyers, ranging from U.S. attorneys, cabinet officials, former senators, chairmen of federal commissions, general counsel of federal commissions, and then senior political appointees within the ranks of various agencies, and I -- they come to me looking to transition to the private sector,” Roberts said, according to a transcript of a 2015 arbitration hearing related to her former colleague’s termination.

In her testimony, Roberts also noted the benefit of working with senior government officials: “Successful people have successful friends.”

PS: Thank you for the kind thoughts. They mean the world.

[GenThePerservering]

37. Just incidentally

I've never understood why rich women have such bad dress sense.

[IA8IT]

15. Broadcasting the turd unedited an anti-tRump bias?? CBS needs to know.

[chelsea0011]

18. What an ass wipe

I lasted two minutes into the video.

[DFW]

19. Ursula von der Leyen is one of the smartest Germans in public life at the moment

She has already had to endure years of being set up as the "fall guy" due to the macho contingent in her party who resented Merkel's successful four terms. She must have been cringing the whole time she was in Comrade Krasnov's presence. Her English is fluent, too, so listening to him blather on must have been doubly painful.

[Traildogbob]

20. Fully on display world wide

And the whole world can see how damn stupidly loyal and bat shit the likes of Podium Barbie is as are all the others ranting about his brilliance in those circle jerk meetings. And may every damn one of them get greeted just like trump. No peace ever for the likes of Moses Mike. They need to be forced to stay right here in the shit soup they made.
Cruz…. Vacation in Texas ass hole, or face trump level protests world wide.

[DFW]

22. Trump receives no mercy from the German media.

They report "objectively" in the news broadcasts, i.e. they don't trash him like we think he deserves to be. In the documentaries and "in depth" shows, as well as the talk shows, he is savaged unmercifully (and deservedly), as he is in the satire shows.

Sending Vance to cavort openly with the Neo-Nazi AfD of the far right didn't do his image any favors, either.

[Traildogbob]

23. Great to hear.

[Hekate]

36. Thx for the context, DFW

[BigmanPigman]

24. Ali Velshi just said so, word for word...

[LymphocyteLover]

25. I cannot stand to listen to his bullshit stream, truly diarrhea of the mouth and so stupid

[Warpy]

26. He has delivered his tax cut for plutocrats

plus the blanket tariffs that are fupposed to pay for it. So far, there are no riots in the streets.

I have to think he's not going to last much longer, his dementia is growing more obvious with every passing day, especially later in the day when he's fatigued.

They'll want him to go out on a high note and stick the next guy with the consequences of what he's done. If that guy is Vance instead of some hapless Democrat, o bla di.

[Blue Full Moon]

28. He talks about the tariffs coming in.

It makes his stupid base that the other countries are paying the tariffs. The truth is that it's the people here in this country paying them. That needs to be called out. All that money is just going in a Slush Fund.

[walkingman]

29. So embarrassing to have someone like this represent the US. Washington needs an enema.

[Just Jerome]

30. Sorry,

I couldn’t make it past “…meedlions and meedlions…”

[kkmarie]

31. Nuttier than squirrel shit

Heard from Tom Powell Jr on one of his youtube videos

[Torchlight]

32. I wonder if he's ever going to learn English at a conversational level.

[liberalla]

34. I can't stand his whining and the complaining that no one says "thanks"....

The victimhood just irritates the heck out of me. I know it's nothing new, but it never fails to aggravate.

I also hate the sound of his voice, but wanted to get a fuller picture of the tone of the conversation and event. It seemed like he was being placated and handled with kid gloves. They were just letting him talk. (So no major explosions)
