Its simple. Trump has the intelligence of an 8 year old schoolyard bully. When confronted by 2 people working together to stop him the bully tries to drive them apart by making shit up about how they are not really friends.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

CNN has filed a lawsuit against the WH for revoking Jim Acosta's press pass because their reason for doing so it made up and he was not denied access for good cause. Apparently there is a bunch of good case law supporting this, that the secret service pass cannot be used to arbitrarily deny someone access.

A lot of unforced errors by Trump recently. This one is only going to cause them headaches.

That Amazon deal in NYC sounds like the shadiest shit ever, completely bypassing the City council. I think Amazon is going to find out that the New York to be a bit of a problem since the November election. The democrats control the state legislature now and are already moving to block the deal because they know nothing about it.

Note that this living disgrace who serves as your president bashes France the day it commemorates the 3 years of the 13/11 terror attacks in Paris. Imagine some foreign leader tweeting on the 11/09 to mock/attack your country. Extremely classy, isn't it?


Oh of course it isn't. But they don't care about offending other people. It's only when they're offended that they give a shit. Republicans, that is. For Democrats it's another tweet where they die slightly inside.

That's probably how Trump literally perceives China, going by how he talks about them in economic terms.

Trump picking on France about NATO funding is sort of ironic. The US straight up does not exist without France aiding us against the Crown.

Yup, and now it's like 90% election conspiracy on the front page.

It’s a conspiracy but the woman in charge of counting the votes in Broward was actually found guilty by a judge of destroying ballots in 2016 Wasserman-Schulz vote?
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-sb-broward-elections-supervisor-broke-law-snipes-canova-20180514-story,amp.html

Why was she even still there after being found guilty? Possibly just to make it easier for republicans to bring up the prior ruling and cancel the recount.


Because people there keep voting her in for whatever reason. She was shoved into the position by Jeb Bush ages ago and keeps holding onto her position via sheer internia.

Basically: it’s Florida, they’re incompetent at running elections and people there are incompetent at actually voting properly.

To be fair, that lady seems like she doesn't give a **** about proper election handling, so she should probably have been gone for a while now... However, I would like to point out that this "destroying of votes" was about a retention period, destroying them a year before the legal deadline or something along those lines. It is not as if she had destroyed them just after an election... As well, she was appointed by Jeb Bush as it was said, and Scott has been controlling and overseeing elections for a while now so.... Maybe he could have done something before that ? Honestly...

Hey, Dems are in charge, blame them !
Hey, we are in charge and didn't do anything to fix it.... Hmmm.... Blame Dems !

That is one of the two districts in FL that leans democrat, so Rick Scott made a calculated decision by leaving her in place. After all, if she is bad at her job, there is a good change democrats won’t get to vote or their votes won’t be counted correctly. And she is a easy punching bag if the democrats come out ahead in the district.

Because you hate the press and freedom of speech? You worship at a strong leaders feet and allow him to dictate who can bring you information?

You really need to bring more to the table than this, otherwise folks are going to be left wondering why you would want the president to pick which reporters get to cover the White House.

We have mastered that craft, for sure. But I enjoy seeing how far they will strain themselves. These days, it’s not that far.

Yes. And the press is used to clowns and yellow journalists anyways. It is part of the job and sort of the point of the press.
