@rwinetoday @Timodc So that we’re talking about this and not the fucked up things he is doing or has done. Like missile strikes on boats in international waters or being a BFF with Epstein.

@Timodc Did Trump approve this interview? If so, then for what strategic purpose?

@EliseStefanik @CNN @CNNSOTU @jaketapper I’m an Iranian, none of us thought President Trump meant to annihilate the Iranian people, he meant the terrorist Islamic regime. It’s amazing how CNN has this selective outrage. The Iranian people love President Trump because he has been bombing the terrorist Islamic regime

And here it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥from @cnn @CNNSOTU @jaketapper falsely compares President Trump to the radical pro-Hamas antisemites who physically assaulted, spit on American students faces, drew swastikas on their doors, and rioted and destroyed university property. President Trump has targeted the Iranian terrorist regime to save the Iranian people and the world from the largest state sponsor of terror that has slaughtered their own people.

@EliseStefanik @CNN @CNNSOTU @jaketapper Same Jake Tapper that lied his ass off about Biden’s mental capacity then flipped when he was leaving office to sell a book. When is CNN getting reorganized by David Ellison?

Jake Tapper again is twisting truth to fit his self-promoting agenda; disingenuously parsing President Trump’s words. He knows damn well that Trump wasn’t threatening genocide. He was targeting the murderous Iranian regime using deliberately bombastic threats as psychological warfare to provoke doubt in the enemy’s camp. Tapper is a journalistic fraud and a liar. 💪🇺🇸

As soon as Jake mentioned that "civilization" question I knew he was setting you up for Trump's post about wiping out Iran's civilization. You did great arguing against his ridiculous setup but I would have talked about how Trump was talking about hitting Iran's power plants and other infrastructure. The things that allow a civilization to exist. He wasn't talking about genocide like Jake suggested. He was taking about wiping out infrastructure that allows a civilized society to exist. Nothing to do with wiping out the people of Iran. Good interview though!

@shavillle @EliseStefanik @CNN @CNNSOTU @jaketapper Most who have heard Trump understand he was talking about the regime. He also condemned the government’s execution of over 40K of its own citizens. You can’t have it both ways. You on the left hate anything he does. Your criticisms ring very hollow.

Jake, you're completely missing the point. Equating the President's comments about a brutal regime that massacres its own unarmed, innocent civilians with calls to wipe out a country that has done nothing to deserve it is absurd. As an Iranian, I know the President was not speaking about the innocent people of Iran. He was clearly referring to the oppressive regime. In contrast, it's disturbing to see some Democrats consistently siding with terrorists and child-killers rather than the innocent victims. Your Trump Derangement Syndrome is showing. You might want to see a doctor about that.

What Trump is doing is communicating with terrorists with the language that they speak. But this is what the left does.They try to get you worked up over words and pay zero attention to the reality. I don’t give a shit if President Trump uses vile language to get through to a vile regime. It is working. Western diplomacy does not work with terrorists. Fear is their only language. Fear is their currency. Shame on you Jake Tapper.

you can’t get no dumber than Jake Tapper President Trump was strictly talking about the terrorist that run that country. He loves the people of Iran. He’s talking about the people that run the country. He’s going to obliterate them not the people of Iran you’ve gotta be dumber than a box of rocks to think that.

@EricLDaugh The Constitution defines the court as Supreme Court, which operates independent of POTUS and Executive Branch. Glad that POTUS doesn’t have authority to rename the court and glad that the court has authority to declare an executive order from POTUS as unconstitutional.

I live in TX, which I know is oil rich. So why is gas in this metro $3.899, up roughly $1 in last 4,weeks, and I’m paying almost $60 to fill the tank with 87 unleaded? Is there an 80 unleaded for cheaper?

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

Meacham noted that America as a multiracial democracy is really only 60 years old. He also noted that #MorningJoe co-host Mika has been able to vote at the federal level for just over 100 years. The struggle for a more perfect Union continues.
Reverend Al Sharpton@TheRevAl

Today on #MorningJoe, I joined Jon Meacham and Doris Kearns Goodwin for a thoughtful conversation about how we measure American presidents and, more importantly, how we measure America itself. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we have to be honest about who was excluded from that promise. Black people were enslaved. Women could not vote. Many Americans were left outside the circle of freedom. Every generation, and every president, should be judged by whether they move us closer to that promise or farther away from it.

I have absolutely nothing against Bad Bunny as an artist, I’m just confused as to how a population that overwhelmingly speaks English is supposed to enjoy a performance in a language they don’t understand. English is the language of America.
