Nothing there that anyone could possibly disagree with. Lol. Makes me smile.
Cue the twilight zone music.
He's insecure and weak, no doubt someone is going to play that against him. Putin already has him on a leash.

Putin has Trump on a leash, but he already whipped Obama with a stick.
Its so funny, at the first Democratic debate, a super stand-up dude and generally smart mutherfucker Jim Webb when asked what was our greatest threat nailed it:
COOPER: Secretary Clinton, the greatest national security threat?
CLINTON: I - I think it has to be continued threat from the spread of nuclear weapons, nuclear material that can fall into the wrong hands. I know the terrorists are constantly seeking it, and that's why we have to stay vigilant, but also united around the world to prevent that.
COOPER: Senator Sanders, greatest national security threat?
SANDERS: The scientific community is telling us that if we do not address the global crisis of climate change, transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy, the planet that we're going to be leaving our kids and our grandchildren may well not be habitable. That is a major crisis.
COOPER: Senator Webb?
WEBB: Our greatest long-term strategic challenge is our relation with China. Our greatest day-to-day threat is cyber warfare against this country. Our greatest military-operational threat is resolving the situations in the Middle East.
This man already knew it...why is it within the Obama administration has failed so miserably with this? Why isn't this country more prepared in defended itself from Russia and China and the cybersecurity threat? If there was any assist with the hacking issue, its from the current administration and the failed leadership to defend this country from outside threat.
LOL and poor Bernie's response...I mean, the poor guy means well, but the good lord.
So if the Russians influenced anything, then clearly they were allowed by a weak Obama Administration and a weak State department. Period.
Soon to be Trump's problem, good thing he's the best at the cyber.
Giantone 01-10-2017, 03:42 PM You put the presidents on a platform they don't belong. None of them were saints and most had plenty of ways, both public and private that they humiliated or brought down their opponents.
I put the Office on a platform and I expect the people who occupy that office to respect it ,very clear Trump does not .I understand you might not like my politics or I yours ,that is the way it works.Trump it's "fake news" with Reagan it was "dis-information" there is a big difference.Thanks to Trump now there is no news agency that is a good one unless they are pro Trump and that's BS.Hell he has wrecked the reputations of the CIA,FBI and NSA.All agree the Russians hacked the election/campaigns even Trump has had to come to the realization of it but not before he did damage to this country and the Office of the President.Hell not a super fan of Obama's but he and his family have been nothing but class in that office,Trump isn't even in it yet and he has tarnished it.Keep track of the promise's he breaks or doesn't keep.

Pretty easy to blame Obama for everything but you seem to forget that his hands were tied with a Congress that wouldn't let him do squat the leash was congress and when you have open traitors leave NSA and be brought in with open arms to Russia really isn't that big of a question on how things are getting hacked now is it?

lol come on really? He doesn't need Congress permission to defend the country, he can direct the state department accordingly.

The Presidency is one man who sits in an office for 4-8 years. Those who inflate his stature above that fail at the very basic premise of our Constitution. He holds 1 position in 1 branch of a government uniquely divided and re-divided to minimize the importance of any one individual.
The office of the Presidency should not be seen as a prime minister, or a dictator, or authoritarian monarchy or any other style of government. He is an executive who should execute (see executive - execute it's amazing how that word play works) the laws of the US as passed by the US Congress. He should not be trying to make laws with a phone and a pen, nor should he be releasing enemies of the state so they can attack us again. He should be appointing people who understand how to operate and streamline large entities like the government has become.
The fundamental belief held by George Washington, truly a great man, was that the office of the President should never be seen as a seat of power like a King, or despot. Our country has followed the natural conditioning of humans to crave that the Presidency be seen as more than it is or ever was supposed to be. He makes no laws (unless his last name is Obama), He instills no budgets. Hopefully he gives a vision and voice that leads to a greater country, but the last one who successfully did that was Reagan (I would give a nod to Bill Clinton as well, but I think that the partisan divide that has so engulfed this nation started under his watch, and was inflamed by both Bush and Obama after him).
Can Trump lead this country, I don't know, but I think he's going to try a lot harder to lead every citizen then Pres's Obama and Bush combined. I loved that he knocked the Republicans down when they tried to gut the ethics board. I loved that he calls a leading Dem a clown when he makes baseless political hacks. And I love that he doesn't let a whining actress, who has zero in common with 98% of US citizens make public attacks on him without a response.
For those whose butts are hurt because the "office of the Presidency" has been tarnished, trust me when I tell you the "office of the Presidency" that has seen the likes of Garfield, Tyler, Johnson, Nixon, Bush, and Obama and survived, it will muddle past Trump as well.
I guess a little common decency is too much to ask for from the President. Sad!
mooby 01-10-2017, 04:57 PM It's easy for people to dismiss but I disagree with how often his opinions change. Two years ago he names Meryl Streep as one of his favorite actors and now she's overrated?
And Cred, your whole thing about him creating discussions by attacking his critics on Twitter is weak. In two weeks, he's the President. Stop being so thin-skinned and focus on the important shit. There are two kinds of people that sees his Twitter attacks, the ones like you who are his fans who just say "he's telling it like it is, and you're just mad because he's defending himself on a public platform, which you're not used to because other politicians don't do it." And then there's us, who are sitting here like "don't you have anything better to be focusing on then responding to whoever your newest critic is on Twitter?" What's next? Is he gonna set aside time every day to challenge his critics through social media as part of his daily routine? Maybe we should all just say nice things about him, because clearly if you are a critic you are dead to him.
