re: Those That Act Totally Outraged Over Internet Tweets From The President, Are They Serious?

quote:

Using instability and stirring up hate for the other side is a Russian propaganda tactic not an American government tactic.

---

it's a politician tactic

Obama did it. you just agree with him when he did it so it's nbd in your mind

hell the DEMs literally just did this for weeks surrounding that tax bill. their entire premise was to create instability and attack the GOP

quote:

---

but to viciously attack and rile up the American public is to create a rift

---

again, welcome to modern politics. all of them do it

the point is why do you expect Trump to not when everyone else, on both sides, is engaging in these tactics?

quote:

---

If the POTUS made such unwise public comments after debate and careful consideration behind closed doors, people would think he's absolutely insane. The argument repeated in this thread is that Trump's tweets are inconsequential because they're just that, tweets.

---

they're aimed at his voting base to keep their support

they're inconsequential from a larger political perspective

quote:

---

You can call it democratization of the Presidency, but it is really a skilled politician bloviating to satisfy an electorate that is incapable of understanding what needs to be done to advance the interests of the country.

how totalitarian of you

i hope you never bring up disenfranchisement of voters

I honestly think a lot of the prog shock to this day is that they still can't believe "they lost" when told after 2008 they would never "lose" again.

Imagine your whole identity being wrapped into who the president is that term. What a sad existence. I feel for people like that actually.

quote:

---

he didn't "ban Muslims" he banned travel from areas linked to terrorism if he was attempting to ban Muslims, logically, he'd have picked the largest population centers. he didn't therefore, logically, his travel ban was about something other than banning Muslims for being Muslim

Literally all of this.

That's why it is hard to take the progs serious when they are being disingenuous about things like the travel ban.

quote:

Your guy has the keys for 8 years. It was his failed polies and lies to the American people that allowed a polarizing candidate like Trump to waltz into the most powerful office in the world. The people took the keys back. You can’t drive anymore. Sit back and hush while America becomes great again.

So Obama is to blame for Trump tweeting on the toilet? Talk about derangement syndrome.

quote:

---

It hasn't been the same and you know it.

---

i'm not a DEM or a Republican. what do i get out of lying?

quote:

---

Trump uses Twitter to attack people that he thinks oppose him on a daily basis

---

well yes if you're talking about THAT SPECIFICALLY? yes

we weren't talking about such specifics earlier

but like i said in another post, it's just a sign of how social media is changing communications...even up to the Presidency

quote:

---

I have never seen anything close to it and neither have you

---

there have only been two "Twitter Presidents" so this statement is essentially just stating that fact

i think social media in particular annoys them b/c they loved calling Obama the "social media president" and celebrating how cool and hip he was. now an almost 70 year old, rich white guy shows up and does social media way more effectively than Obama, so it's just a tough pill to swallow. so what do they do? spin it to say "he's not using it the right way". they love their platonic ideals

quote:

---

Trump himself branded it as a Muslim ban.

as President? link?

quote:

---

There was already a vetting process in place that had been effective for years.

---

and? that's basically irrelevant b/c you're talking about a new policy

quote:

---

If he could have included Pakistan and Indonesia in the ban without significant economic disruption, he would have

link?

you're making a very important suggestion without, i imagine, any proof other than hope and political bias

My presumption is shared by most feder judges who have heard the case.

the ultimate ruling has not come down and the USSC hasn't been too kind about those district court rulings

Its been nearly two years of the left foretelling of global Armageddon from the Trump Twitter account, yet here we are. With respect to NK, how can it be argued that we haven't achieved a higher than ever level of focus on the issue? We have more meaningful cooperation from Russia and China as well as the harshest UN sanctions we've seen to date. If Trumps rhetoric makes YOU nervous, how do you think Kim feels? Isn't that the point?

The mealy mouthed, PC methods in the past were clearly not effective, yet many curiously stomp their feet at this tougher approach. Being strong in the face of dictatorships used to be a hallmark of american freedom, back when we were feared and respected.
