1. Can we just get him to shut up for about a week?

No joke, I just want him to shut up for about a week.

[rurallib]

8. why stop at a week? Forever would be my choice

[maxsolomon]

13. Since it's pathological, the only solution

is to tune out for a week.

It's hard to accomplish. It helps if you're like backpacking or something...

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

2. He is redefining...

what it means to be clueless.

[Botany]

3. Trump, "They took Crimea during his term."

And because of that along with invasion of the Ukraine and the shooting down of
Malaysia Airline #17 Obama put sanctions that tied up about 80% of Putin's money.

Trump and McConnell have worked to weaken those sanctions.

[NewJeffCT]

4. I didn't know Obama had Crimea in his back pocket?

and that Putin stole it from him

[captain queeg]

5. With the right...whatever. Such a genius, why didn't Obama think of that?

[mahannah]

6. Too bad a reporter didn't ask for a definition of "whatever".

7. Spanky would have put out the welcome mat for Putin.

9. Donald, you can convince Putin to give it back... Right?

Donald, you can convince Putin to give it back... Right?

10. In addition to this stupefying clip there was another of him bragging about

how rich we are and that he had no intention of losing it, or words to that effect. tRump has a record of equating the country with himself, and conversely, himself with the country. It is my suspicion he was in this instance referring to himself and not country.His greatest fear is not the loss of an election and the power of the presidency. It is the underlying loss of his wealth and what it represents. Without it he would be nothing, and be even more of an empty despicable human being. He knows that, and it dictates almost everything he does and how he behaves. Once again l may be way out a limb with this observation as my only qualification is the lifelong observation of human behavior which, as any PoC will tell you, is a requirement for dealing with social prejudices.

11. I will have to tell you....

I am totally exhausted by this ...person.

[underpants]

12. Ooh! A two-fer! Pandering groveling to Putin and..well...

[maxsolomon]

14. The Firehose of Falsity.

he thinks it's news to the rest of us that Rusher's Sub Base is there.

Reporters, please ask him for an example of the Right Whatever.

[klook]

15. Nice.

The maelstrom of mendacity, the hurricane of hogwash, the tsunami of tsupidity.

[maxsolomon]

17. It's actually the name of a Russian propaganda technique.

I got it wrong tho - "Firehose of Falsehood"

[klook]

20. Ah, ok -- that's exactly what we're seeing on a daily basis.

And the Dismantler in Chief is the number one practitioner.

Similar to the Gish Gallop, but on a society-wide scale.

[calimary]

16. And start doing what Yamiche did.

Calling out a LIE straight to his bloated orange face.

[maxsolomon]

18. Except she did it in a roundabout way, with "respect for the office".

He didn't answer the question, of course. He can't.

I assume NPR will have WH pressure put on it to fire her.

[rickyhall]

19. TRAITOR

[matt819]

21. Saw that last night

It was painful and nauseating to watch. As I've mentioned before, he always sounds like a 9th grader (maybe a 4th grader) giving a book report when he hasn't read the book.

[kentuck]

22. And we are supposed to overlook this traitorous behavior ?

Because we have to grade this moron on a curve ?

[RVN VET71]

23. Either that or, well,

whatever.

[Aussie105]

24. Empty drums make the most noise

You can hear the vacuum in his head every time he speaks.

[Mc Mike]

25. But you said you might recognize that annexation. --Stephanopolous, to tRump.

But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I heard, would rather be with Russia. -- tRump, to Stephanopolous.

Nobody's been tougher on Russia than tRump. -- tRump.

End the sanctions and bring Russia back to the G-8. -- tRump.

No collusion. -- tRump.

26. K&R

[Blue Owl]

27. Shut the fuck up Donny

n/t

[yuiyoshida]

28. Seriously Certifiable

Nuts, crazy, Loonie... insane madman.

[MasonDreams]

29. Please stop putting that orange man's face on my DU.

It makes me sick, and I do know the meaning of the word literally.

[smirkymonkey]

30. I really hate this motherfucker with a passion.

I need to go watch funny videos now. I can't take anymore today.

[Shoonra]

31. What about the 2016 GOP Platform?

Does anyone remember that it was Trump who insisted that the 2016 Republican Party Platform Committee strike its condemnation of Russian interference of Crimea and instead include language sympathetic to the Russian side? Trump cannot now pretend that he would have blocked the Russians.

[gademocrat7]

32. Despicable evil buffoon.

[Beartracks]

33. So fucking clueless. And the Republican party covers for him. n/t

[calimary]

34. Yeah, a real "honor" student there.
