Freepers give Trump an A+ on his press conference

[Kaleva]

This particular thread has well over 400 comments in it.

"Trump is doing great. This is way better than a rally - he’s speaking truth directly to the enemy."

"He’s just getting warmed up! I could watch another hour of this!"

"Press is making fools of themselves.
President Trump is the adult in the room.. Such a down-to-earth Brilliant man."

"GO PRESIDENT GO ! ! ! !

He has the press running in circles..... falling all over their self-righteousness and false piety

What a wonderful and beautiful thing to watch....!

M A G A"

"That’s MY president!

Damn I’m so proud that he is president of my country!!"

"What a joy it is to see, not a Republican or a Democrat President, but rather an American President."

"Yes, he is right up in their faces. All the other presidents would be hiding. We’ve never in recent history had a president willing to speak his mind. Ah, he just caused the Democrats and media to p155 their pants saying ‘I will or could nominate more supreme court justices’."

These supporters of Trump are so blind and deluded that there is absolutely no chance on convincing them to abandon Trump.

1. It's like people on another planet

unbelievable

[Kaleva]

7. They live in an isolated world and reinforce each other's psychoses.

Anybody who doesn't openly support the group think gets banned pronto.

[Hortensis]

32. Yes. The internet has allowed escape from the village,

with its mores and communal checks and balances, into wacko worlds tailored to delusions. Wonder if they're happier.

Our son once dated a very pretty and charming (only on surface as it turned out!) girl who believed a resistance was using The X-Files to slip secret messages out to the populace. The evil government was clueless, of course. She and her parents moved to either white WV or white Kentucky to avoid dying in the collapse with the rest of us. She'll have passed on those genes by now.

29. They truly suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome

This is what really scares me. I always force myself to watch FOX, just so I know what his base is thinking. After his bizarre otherworldly press conference, and FOX news was right there playing their 3 card Monty game. Lie, blame, shame, and shift it so the viewers are cheering Trump on. He was talking directly to his base, his message was clear. To them, this is nothing more than a con game by Schumer and his gang of people who are in that room laughing about all this.

2. About a third of this country is stupid, uneducated, ill-informed, racist, women hating and a

bunch of things. ... so many pockets of stupidity and hatred.

[Frustratedlady]

3. Aside from telling everyone how great and famous he was and has always been,

did anyone count the lies?

These people are beyond help. They show the affect of the GOP propaganda machine that works through FOX, Limbaugh, Drudge, Hannity and their ilk, 24/7. It is very effective.

[LAS14]

10. I'm guessing some newspaper is going to use 4 or 5 pages to fact check. nt

[Elwood P Dowd]

4. This is the type of news reporter the Freepers go gaga over....

[Kaleva]

11. Ted Baxter at least was loveable and harmless.

[SCantiGOP]

5. The Democrats and media will P155 their pants?

I’m so glad the little snowflakes don’t say bad words. That might make them $h1t themselves.

[Fullduplexxx]

19. Lol ...... nt

[Ohiogal]

6. There are no words.

[DesertRat]

8. Similar comments on Discussionist

Unbelievable.

[Kaleva]

13. The human brain is fascinating.

People can fool themselves into believing something that has no basis in reality. And I'm not talking about religious beliefs but about what people observe with their own eyes and hear with their own ears but come away with a completely bonkers opinion on what they just saw and heard.

[RhodeIslandOne]

26. Another group of rump swabs

Someone roll a grenade in and frag that dump.

Dumpscussionist.

[rampartc]

39. that thread on discussionist was very revealing of this psyche

it seems they like the entertainment, as if this is a reality or pro 'rasslin' show.

[LAS14]

9. Yuck!!! But thanks for posting!! I constantly wonder about the minds of Trump supporters. nt

[CatMor]

12. Hard to believe his supporters ...

wrote those comments. Everything had the correct spelling and grammar. Morons couldn't do that.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Delusional Deplorables.

[GWC58]

30. The same people, come November, that will say

“Trump was right; China got involved and rigged the election for the Democrat Party.” I don’t care what they say, so long as the Democratic Party does, indeed, take control of Congress. At least the House. I’m nervous about this election only because of the cheating ways of the “Re-Thug-Lie-Con” party. 👿👺

[Hermit-The-Prog]

41. you misspelled Rape-Thug-Lie-Con Party

[GWC58]

47. Thank you for the

clarification on that. Looks much better!👍🏻

[Farmer-Rick]

15. Half those comments were probably written by Russians

That's why they are spelled properly

[jeffreyi]

20. That was my thought, too.

[RhodeIslandOne]

24. Then they head over to Jackpine Radicals and trash Obama for an hour

Ratfuckers gotta ratfuck.

[Different Drummer]

16. I sincerely hope these people seek the help they so obviously need. n/t

[edbermac]

17. 400 comments?

And 399 never watched it.

[pansypoo53219]

18. the deplorables have spoken. the pied piper for morons.

[Blue_true]

21. They consider us "enemies", their fellow Americans.

People, they HATE us. If they could kill us and walk away free and clear, they would not hesitate.

[Hortensis]

34. I remember watching this happen. It was with the collapse

of the cold war and the red menace. John Bircher, Tea Party, trumpster, authoritarian types like this always know, though, that there's some huge enemy they must destroy before they are destroyed.

With direction from people like Newt Gingrich and others in the background, their fear and hostility were turned inward to domestic enemies and threats -- the Democratic Party and liberalism, as embodied at the time of course by poor Bill and Hillary Clinton. Astonishing then but all too understandable in retrospect, Bill became their surrogate for the black menace and was tagged with every racist cliche out there. He was stupid, lazy, shiftless, and dirty. He murdered, dealt drugs, vandalized the White House, and even raped a white woman.

They unleashed these hoards and have used them to some advantage, but they don't control them.

Senator Jeff Flake yesterday:

The toxic political culture that we have created has infected everything, and we have done little to stop it. In fact, we have only indulged it, and fanned the flames, taken partisan advantage at every turn, and deepened the ugly divisions that exist in our country.

These past two years, we have tested the limits of how low we can go. And my colleagues, I say to you that winning at all costs is too high a cost. If we cannot have a human – rather than a political – response to these witnesses, if we are heedless to the capacity that we have to do real and lasting damage, then maybe we shouldn’t be here.

... One man, somewhere in the country, called my office in Arizona and left a message saying that he was tired of me “interrupting our president” and that for the offense of allowing Dr. Ford to be heard, for this offense, me and my family would be “taken out.”

I mention this with reluctance, but only to say that we have lit a match, my colleagues. The question is, do we appreciate how close the powder keg is? ..

[tazkcmo]

37. Flake

After writing this message of concern, assured McTurtle that he was a yes vote for Kavanaugh.

I made that up but have no doubt he will continue to vote in direct contradiction to his flowery words.

[Hortensis]

38. Hope not. Fwiw, I heard a genuine condemnation of what

they've been doing and a serious warning. His entire speech has been published by multiple sources, and that's not because it was the usual nothing.

Of course, his words would have been more admirable had he said them long ago when he wanted to be able to be reelected, but not necessarily more sincere.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

43. not Flake's first such speech

I strongly disagree with Sen. Flake's position on just about everything regarding governing, but he does not seem to be a soulless power monger. He may be a throwback conservative Republican -- before the infection spread by Atwater and the disease made apparent in Reaganites.

[tazkcmo]

46. I hope not also. n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

22. Yes, they are raving about it everywhere

I've seen it on countless sports sites and wagering sites.

Entirely different world. That's why anyone who thinks Trump's approval will plunge, or counts him out toward 2020, is a monumental fool

[argyl]

23. So they're still around, eh?

Have they made any tech improvements at all or are they still running like it's 1999? Way back in the early days of DU there'd be some posting of Freeper threads and their site was so shabby compared to ours.

They had a larger membership but Earl, Skinner, and Elad put the money and talent into making this a real gem of a website. I'm sure our membership now exceeds theirs in quantity and always has in quality.

And it shows. Been some contentious times but damn we've got some brilliant people posting here.

Is JimBob/RimJob still sniveling for bucks that don't go to site upkeep?

[RhodeIslandOne]

25. Trump: The President for Assholes!

They must be so happy.

[Sugarcoated]

27. They're irrelevant.

What they think doesn't matter.

[brewens]

28. The legit press should have met and agreed to all laugh at certain points. They could have easily

predicted several chances.

[Vinca]

31. Wow - I watched the whole thing and I thought he should have been dragged off the stage

in a straitjacket. The guy was totally bonkers. Seriously. If that presser doesn't scare the world, I don't know what will.

[VOX]

33. "The enemy." That's the free press: "the enemy." This trash would be a perfect in 1930s Germany.

They really would. Listen to them! They want blood and are delusional. How any sane person could catch an “I gotta vote for you!” vibe off #45 just staggers the imagination. The chief dimwit is so embarrassingly see-through(“I was thrying to make ‘em laugh,” “No collusion”) that he’s downright embarrassing.

His little mind takes twists and turns that are downright demonic: pitting Americans against each other; making serious income from his public office; cozying up to the world’s dictators; sending boatloads of money upstream to the wealthy (and himself); all of it in an in-your-face, “I’m showing ‘the enemy’ my bare red backside” fashion.

He’s lit a time-bomb to the economy, laid waste to every rule, protocol and tradition, and has chewed up whatever shreds of civil discourse that were still extant. But of this much I am certain: he is amoral, and cares ONLY about himself. He he is absolute POISON to democracy.

Robert Reich is correct, if Democrats can’t hold Republicans in check come November, the LIGHTS WILL BE GOING OUT. So,
*VOTE AS IF YOUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT* — they very well may.

[democratisphere]

35. Unfortunately we will always be a country severely divided

that continues to go nowhere. Real world Idiocracy.

[malaise]

36. Podhoretz thinks he should have press conferences

every week.

[kentuck]

40. They're caressing their own narcissism...

Almost all of the 80 minute press conference was about Donald Trump.

If you thought that was good, then you probably have similar qualities?

Words have meaning. There are words of unity and there are words of division. Donald Trump (and his supporters) excel in words of division.

[Initech]

48. Bill Maher nailed it last week:

35% fat, 65% narcissistic personality disorder. Makes sense.

[spanone]

42. I have written them off. He COULD kill someone on the street and they would give him a pass.

fuck them one and all.

[Initech]

44. Trump is brilliant? He couldn't even pronounce the word "anonymous".

[Johonny]

45. Freepers create new letter higher than A so they'll be able to grade Trump accurately

[kerry-is-my-prez]

49. Being 63, I'm glad I don't have to deal with this shit storm for much more than 20-30 more years.

It's the only thing that gives me solace about the miserable state of this country. The first President I really remember was JFK and they said the Kennedys were a part of "Camelot." Of course, he was assassinated, but we still had hope back then.
