Jeezo that's honestly the most ridiculous thing I've seen. Obama really got to them.

The whole thing is like an SNL skit. It’s a cult

It’s like Huckabee Sanders never left - normal service has resumed. This administration has been in the chair for 4 years and apparently everything negative that happened is Obama’s fault however some of you may recall “best jobs and best economy in the history of world” is all Trump.

Riddle me this TDF, where are the jobs and strong economy and how did Obama ruin them ?

Another Friday night inspector general firing. Apparently he had opened an inVestigation into Pompeo so was fired.

I would expect nothing less from #45 and his fine administration.

Edit- let’s add some context:
“President Donald Trump has removed State Department Inspector General Steve Linick and replaced him with an ally of Vice President Mike Pence — the latest in a series of moves against independent government watchdogs in recent months.”

“The president said he "no longer" had the "fullest confidence" in Linick and promised to send the Senate a nominee "who has my confidence and who meets the appropriate qualifications." The executive branch is required to notify Congress 30 days ahead of time if it intends to remove an inspector general.”

A totally normal thing to say, especially when you're the US president.

The US president said it’s “beautiful” to see “nurses running into death just like soldiers running into bullets” in an address to a medical equipment distribution facility.

This is an interesting read. Explains why the likes of tango have such desperately held beliefs

vodkacokebloke · 16 May 2020 at 10:03

the reason that it now spans two fodlers is that it has to be re-written in large crayon for Trump to understand. If it's not in bright colours he doesn't even acknowledge that it's in front of him.

CHokKA · 16 May 2020 at 10:36

All politicians lie. Everyone knows that. But at least most are smart about it. The way that Trump and his administration just brazenly make stuff up in the moment is utterly unbelievable. Things like this:

The Trump administration had three years to sort out the issues with supplies. They didn't. Trump says the cupboards were bare but there was $8 billion of supplies in the "bare" cupboard. Yep, that's bare for sure! Trump even gave 17.8 tons of medical supplies to China on Feb 7th. So that's probably why it was bare when those supplies were needed. They're so full of lies and they can't even remember the lies they've told. Within the same press briefing. Ridiculous.

But yeah, Flynn! Obamagate! Keep reaching for something else to divert the attention away from the epic failures whilst lives are lost everyday. It's sad and pathetic.

Just in case there was any doubt he's a man child (regarding his recent officiating of the Space Force and him likely hinting at a hypersonic platform)...

We have, I call it the 'super-duper missile.' And I heard the other night [it's] 17 times faster than what they have right now

The Obama administration, no major scandals apart from being caught spying on Angela Merkel (quickly brushed under the carpet by the media) and weaponising US intelligence agencies against your political opposition. He also locked kids in cages but nobody cared until Trump got into office. If you guys can't see how bent the corporate media are there's no hope for you.

doodah · 16 May 2020 at 11:00

Look over there - Obama/Hillary/Democrats.

@mmj_uk - got anything other than half-hearted deflection?

If corporate media is bent, what does that make Fox News then?

When did that happen? Oh that's right it was over 4 years ago.

Who here ever said the Obama administration was perfect or whiter than white? Nobody that's who, and you know why nobodies said that? It's because people are more concerned with things that are actually happening now, you know, things that actually matter.

Do you often moan about things from years ago that you can't change?

Would you be capable of saying the Obama administration was a disgrace but the Trump administration is ALSO a disgrace?

What law or process has Trump broken here?

Or has he done what he and all presidents are allowed to do?

You forgot the billions given back to Iran that then was used used to kill innocent people including Americans, that blood is on the incompetence of Obama.
