1. Kick for truth!

[Charles Bukowski]

2. It only seems presidential because the standards for Shithead

are so laughably low.

He's like the failing student who garners excessive praise for getting a "C" on some random quiz. The result isn't great, the teacher is simply shocked that the student didn't fall asleep halfway through and drool all over the paper.

[Cha]

6. Right, CB.. The idiot pundits were giving him "presidential" for "tone"..

Forget Substance!

[Charles Bukowski]

10. Which doesn't even make sense - - Trump's tone was awful.

If a truly skilled orater like Obama delivered a speech in the same manner as Trump, these same pundits would calling it a subpar speech, while wondering aloud if the President was feeling sick that day

[dchill]

17. Yeah, well, the tone sucked, too.

Bigly.

Media reaction was deliberately effusive.

[Cha]

19. Yes! And, the "media" got caught with their proverbial

pants down Again!

Mahalo, dchill!

[tblue37]

28. They had already decided to praise him and normalize him if he didn't drool fart, or drop his pants.

It was preplanned.

[SharonAnn]

49. He didn't shit in his hat. That's presidential.

[Cha]

58. They should have set the bar higher, SharonAnn

And, not be so damn lazy.. they should have dug into the actual contents of "the speech"..

They'd be respected instead of ridiculed.

Mahalo!

[Cha]

32. You gotta see this, Charles..

56. Evidently chuckie was in on that slobbering over "the speech"

that trump read, too.

They got told by Charles Blow.. and David Frum..

"The oh hes normal now relief of so many to Trumps Feb 28 speech revealed how ready DC is to succumb to deal making as usual."

This is why those like van jones were so wrong and so dangerous to our Democracy.

[mountain grammy]

15. I know, right?

He took a hit this election, but we all did. We need him back.

[lapucelle]

30. Van Jones never had a positive thing to say about Hillary,

and was a continual scold during the general election campaign, quick to find fault and slow to praise. After election day, he immediately bought into the "demise of the Democratic party" narrative and stoked it with a CNN special.

Something tells me that Van is still fighting the 2008 Primary War, even though his side won. He's got the Hillary hate and utter disdain for her accomplishments and experience down cold.

[GWC58]

55. Of Van Jones,

I do believe he was overjoyed when Hillary "lost" the (s)Electoral College.

[Cha]

64. How could you tell?

Not good.

Thank you, GWC

[Cha]

59. See, I would read snippets of that here and there.. not watching tv..

but that's the impression I got from Van Jones. to me that says..
"..not too impressed."

"he immediately bought into the "demise of the Democratic party" narrative and stoked it with a CNN special.".. yeah bullshit.

That's lazy and not the reality of it.. just like with the effusive praise for trump "pivoting".

Link to tweet

Thank you for refreshing us on that, lapucelle!

[lapucelle]

70. Jones pretty much stoked every narrative

that hurt Hillary for the last year

"Democratic Base in ‘Full-on Rebellion’ Against Hillary Clinton" (January 2016)

"The reality is she’s apologized again and again for the judgment but it was bad judgment,” Jones said. “And we’re now having to pay a cost in the campaign. I’d say it is a strike against Hillary Clinton that she chose to use that e-mail server. It is a strike against her that she’s handled it, you know in this weird way, going forward. So that’s two strikes against her.”(August 2016)

“The Clinton days are over...You’ve got to be an authentic person from the beginning. You’re going to be judged based on your authentic commitment to the actual base of this party.” (January 2017).

Jones always struck me as someone very comfortable in his entitlement to pass judgment on this particular woman.

[Cha]

72. That's the article I saw..

".. Clinton days are over.. " blah blah blah.

And, now he proclaimed trump "presidential".. He's weird.. a cnn tool.

Thank you for that, lapucelle..

37. Exactly! I could not believe those blowhards going on about trump

And being 'presidential'.....they should be embarrassed and ashamed for their ass kissing or whatever the hell that was. Just pathetic.

47. You speak the truth, cha, and thank god you do. I didn't watch the pundits.

I can't watch cheeto. I SURE AS HELL can't watch the idiots cheering him on for a lame bullshit performance just because he didn't totally shit on himself. That is even more sickening.

[Jim Beard]

60. He responded a little bit on an afternoon progran with Berina Keeler, maybe...

I joined in late but CNN was circling its wagon and protecting the press.

[moonscape]

63. I posted a link in

another thread where he addresses/explains it.
