Trump is such an alpha male boss... I liked his answer on Russia.
I don't know if I said this here or not, but I think that's the main difference between camps. Republicans often seem to like the strong man/tough guy talk. I see that as a weakness and prefer a more pragmatic approach to things.
To me an "Alpha male" in most instances is somebody who is insecure and is hiding their flaws/lack of knowledge behind tough guy talk. I know this would seem like the exact opposite to somebody who admires that type of approach.

That's embarrassing. Seriously.
I'm wondering if he is regretting any of this.

Your devotion to wacky theories on Republican officials really handicaps your ability to be taken seriously.
Yea "Whacky" theories put for by all of the intelligence communities, a dozen women who claim to have been groped by this man, unending lawsuits, liens placed by contractors he's fucked over, statements that have actually come out of his mouth...and so on. Yea, so "whacky. "
You do realize that in just one snippet of this press conference the President Elect said Russia probably hacked us, then said being on good terms with Putin is considered an "Asset". Then turned around and said he would be much tougher on Putin than Hillary ever could be.
His conflicts of interests, his cabinet picks, his juvenile infatuation with twitter wars rather than intelligence briefings....it goes on and on. Those are facts.

By all accounts his press conference was a disaster. Hardly a shocker though.

Hey guys, it must be a lie, just like everything else, because Trump was on TV saying it was a lie!
#1256 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 513 weeks ago
If there were any truth to this, Trump wouldn't be on TV calling it a complete lie. .
You've got to be kidding.
Some people just want to believe anything that makes their perceived enemy look bad, regardless of how absurd it is. That yahoo who shot up a pizza joint because he heard Hillary had a child sex ring there proves that point perfectly.
Your false equivalence is a bit much. Again, was Hillary or anybody else briefed about a child sex ring in a pizza joint?
Trump's collusion with the Russians has been floating around for months. Journalists sat on it, this was hardly some knee jerk thing.

Ethics lawyers are eviscerating Trump's press conference and lawyer, guaranteeing there's going to be a huge shitstorm coming with how ignorant Trump's understanding of ethics laws.
It will be his biggest obstacle. That and the fight he picked with our intelligence community.

SLC, dude. Wow. Saying the inauguration should be canceled. Pence shouldn't server. Talk about egg. Maybe now you guys will take a fucking break. How many times can you say retarded shit before you make sure there's a hint of truth.
.
Did the CIA and FBI brief W and Obama about his birth certificate? Hardly the same thing.
If this is true. If Trump colluded with the Russians during the campaign, then nobody from that campaign should be anywhere near the WH. I don't find anything outlandish about that statement at all.

Is this sh!t real?? Seriously, these next 48 hours are going to be massive!
This is massive to say the least. Probably the craziest thing I've seen in politics in my adult life. We have a man who is about to be sworn in as POTUS, who has a high probability of being severely compromised by the Russians. Not only that, but a candidate who was working with them to gain power.
If it is true that his camp was in cahoots with Russia during the campaign, and was supplied damaging information about Hillary, no way in hell should he be inaugurated. In fact I think there should be no inauguration until this is settled. Further, if he's 86'd I don't believe Pence should be President either. If Trump's team was colluding with the Russians to win the election then Pence doesn't get a pass IMO.
Somebody from 4chan is now claiming they made the entire thing up and duped a CIA agent into believing this. That would be quite the feat.
What's more nuts? A president elect compromised by Russia or 4chan trolling our intelligence communities?
