Trump's Second Term

I honestly wonder about the stats that say this. My limited and dispirited reading seems to indicate the numbers are produced by clearly partisan sources, are severely rounded up (~28% becomes "nearly 40%" = Trump-math), and are produced almost expressly for the purpose of stroking the ego of the Great Orange ◊◊◊◊-stain. They know full well that the general populace is aware the numbers are complete and utter crap. That doesn't matter. They are not the audience they need to entertain.

That is what surprised me about the tape.not that Trump was a bigot, we all knew that, but he would be so stupid as to proclaim it so openly before God and everybody. And at a time when he needs to get as many non Maga votes as possible for the mid terms.

It will be amusing in a cynical sort of way to his underlings try to excuse or justify this.

I debate wholeheartedly. I suggest some of those donlt really like Trump, but feel compelled to suport him becuase he has a "r" after his name. Sort of a he might be a SOB but he is our SOB thing.
And I am getting pretty tired of these broad, simplistic statments by a lot of people outside the US about the American people. I have a feeling a great many of them hated the USA before Trump; Trump is just giving them lots of ammunition for the hatred, another reason I hate Trump.

I flew into Dulles last year and must say it was the worst, nastiest, least friendly airport I've ever been to. As usual, US customs and global entry were super-efficient, and then even for connecting flights, we were all lined up in a line nearly the length of the entire airport for extra screening, which went so slowly that almost everyone in the airport missed their flights. Nobody knew anything, luggage was spirited off to unknown destinations, and all the officials were discourteous. If any airport deserves be renamed Trump that's the one.

I don't think you will find many who have flown into Dulles disagree with you. It is a nightmare. Most Federal workers who have flown into DC via Dulles dread have to do it again.
Problem is that most domestic flights use Dulles, and you don;t really have an option.
And pilots really, really hate flying into Dulles. It is one of the most crowded air spaces in the US.

I think it was the reverse of that.

One of the underlings did find it and post it (you think Trump can work forum software??), and Trump really liked what they did. All good so far. Then it blew up in their faces bigly. Trump, as per usual, went for plausible deniability and blamed someone else - some unnamed underling doing it "by accident".

Meanwhile, poor old Granny-panties had to go out in public and swivel like a hula-dancer from "It was funny, just get over it, snowflakes" to "Whoopsie, an accident by an intern!" I'm sure she knows how ridiculous she has been made to look. I suspect she is losing her will to live like this much longer.

And even the invested excuse is complete bull-◊◊◊◊. How does anyone "accidentally" search for, find, edit, transfer, comment and post some video on a forum "accidentally" then left it up for over eight hours before it was "corrected". Were they sleep-walking?? No, it was absolutely deliberate, no question at all. And it had Trump imprimatur, or it would never have made it onto Trothe Sential in the first place.

Liars and crooks, the lot of them.

Please. Give it a rest. You are quite tiresome about this. Or have some form of paranoia.

I assume you are a US citizen, certainly I have never met a non-US resident who thought US customs and entry are remotely efficient, or courteous.

Yes, a citizen with global entry. That procedure is surprisingly efficient. I am sure that for others it's a mess and getting worse, but this at least is still working. I mentioned this above simply because the total dog show of Dulles was not their fault.

Not his fault.

Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?

Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.

Reporter: Are you going to apologize?

Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake.

Trump standing up for staff? LOL!! That staffer better polish their resume. S/he is SO fired! Into the sun.

Reporter: Will you apologize for that racist video?

Trump: *walks away*

But really, why would he apologize? It was on-brand and red meat for his racist, fascist, cultist base.

I haven't flown commercially at all in nearly twenty years, and haven't used Dulles in almost thirty. In addition to feeling old, reading about this stuff makes me feel sad.
