Was there a teleprompter involved?

Or was it more of a stream of consciousness free spirit thingy....??

[alexa]

One would think with all the practice he gets, he could tell his lies more efficiently.

One could say that about your trolling.

Watch it. Report back.

[Common Sense]

Regardless of his politics, Trump is such a bizarre character.

No one is as good as Obama and never will be, maxine, pelosi, ocasio, Bernie, they are all too stupid to lie and not get caught

I think you may be right on the length of it and of it being the longest speech in American history.

Interestingly enough, according to the NYT, the speech contained inaccuracies, exaggerations and outright lies so some of the speech should be taken with grain of salt.

Uh huh.

I remember all the investigations into Obama's corrupt regime.

How'd that work out?

Seems to be stream of consciousness.

Wow, he just said he stopped the rise of the oceans. :shocked:

Fact checkers seem to have the habit of fact checking opinion statements and political statements as if they were fact- at least when "fact checking" Trump. We had a thread on that a week or two ago.

[Peter1469]

They worked that out with a chance meeting with Bill on a tarmac somewhere.

Yes there was, but he only used it sparingly. Off the cuff, even using the word, "Bull****" to a huge roar.

[Tahuyaman]

I don't know if bizarre is the right word, but certainly his personality and methods are distinctly different to anything ever seen before in politics at the national level. Some of it I see as welcoming and positive and some I see otherwise.

[Tahuyaman]

Wow, he just said he stopped the rise of the oceans. :shocked:

Was that what got him the Nobel peace prize?

The New York Times has their own issues to deal with on that front. I'll take them seriously when they get their own back yard cleaned up.

"It's only a lie if you don't believe it."


Not many care if it's truth or lie. Whether it's truth or lie seems to be determined by whether you like him or not, like what he says or not.

[pragmatic]

Fact checkers seem to have the habit of fact checking opinion statements and political statements as if they were fact- at least when "fact checking" Trump. We had a thread on that a week or two ago.

Yeah. That does seem to be a pattern. The criteria devolves into the petty and conversational comments.

But it allows the publication to put up a sensational headline based on their number of bullet points.

"We found 50 Lies!!".

[Docthehun]

I do and it has nothing to do with my like or dislike of him.

As should we all...be concerned that the political system is broken.

[Docthehun]

As should we all...be concerned that the political system is broken.

Before we can fix the political system we have to readopt the notion that "character" matters.

[Chris]

Before we can fix the political system we have to readopt the notion that "character" matters.

It matters locally, where reputation still has meaning, but not in the far away seat of federal government more like Kafka's Castle.

I wish people woukd stop encouraging del.

Like the NY Times would be objective, huh? But lets check out the NY Times.

What Was Said

“The Green New Deal, I encourage it, I think it is really something that they should promote. They should work hard on, it is something the country needs desperately. They have to go out and get it, but I will take the other side of that argument, only because I am mandated to. But they should stay with that. Never change. No planes. No energy. When the wind stops blowing, that’s the end of your electric.”
False.Mr. Trump has escalated a previously exaggerated claim (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/12/us/politics/trump-rally-fact-check.html?module=inline) to a false one. The Green New Deal is a proposal by liberal Democrats to combat climate change. It was introduced by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts.


The legislation does not call for eliminating airplanes, though a draft summary of the plan (https://web.archive.org/web/20190207191119/https:/ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/blog-posts/green-new-deal-faq) on Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s website did refer to getting rid of “emissions from cows or air travel.” Her staff has since retracted the post and said that it was incomplete and published by accident.....snip~


Imagine that.....so because Trump equates what everyone else was saying about AOC's Deal about planes and cows. They rate Trump false. Despite AOC's staff retracting what they had put up on their site.


Even funnier is how the NY Slimes didn't want take on the rest of the News Sources out there for saying the same thing. Of course the NY Slimes. Didn't want to ask AOC how they get rid of plane emissions or how to stop cows from farting.


Message to the NY Slimes.....don't ever think you are a credible news source. Ever again!

[DGUtley]

I looked at what the NYT's said and I thought some of it was ticky-tacky, particularly the one above. If they'd been 1/4 as hard on Chairman "I've got a pen" Maobama, the press wouldn't be as hated as they are today.

[Common]

The press has lost its credibility of that there is no doubt, all liberals know the mainstream media is flat out liberal press only. They wont admit it but they know it like the rest of us do

They really went tedious. Of course the NY Times wouldn't want the country to think Trump had stirred up all those people and that Conservatives are energized for 2020.

Trump, Anti-Socialist Messaging Enliven a Mellow CPAC (https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/03/03/trump_anti-socialist_messaging_enliven_a_mellow_cpac_139642.h tml)

The Demos had best hope their nominee isn't advocating Socialism. If they do.....Trump wins his re-election.

If it had come from Breitbart, would it have made a difference to you? :)

Not sure what you are talking about; the link I posted was from the NYT (New York Times) and not what you've posted. Try the link again if you would.

Of course.

[gamewell45]

Of course.

Good to know; thanks for your response. :)

[countryboy]

Breitbart is certainly more reliable than the New York Times.

[ripmeister]

Back on topic. The best part was the Sessions mimicry. Is Trump still like 12 years old?

The link is correct; however it is the NY Times and not the NY Slimes as you called it. That was the confusing part.

[Tahuyaman]

Again, the NY Times has their own problems with issues of truth. Once they get their mess cleaned up, I'll start giving them some credibility.

[Captdon]

*sigh* It's what he does and not what he says. We just replaced a President who said a lot of good things and didn't not do anything. It is a simple choice.
