Very poor morning TV ratings for MSDNC’s Morning Joe, headed by a complete Psycho named Joe Scarborough and his ditzy airhead wife, Mika, and also @CNN, headed by complete unknowns. Congratulations to @foxandfriends on dominating the mornings (thank you President Trump!).

Truly this is the leadership America needs.
Ditzy... cool.
I mean, those two were nasty, especially her. He is allowed to hit back, right? Just perfecly normal. Remember when FOX did not praise Obama and then Obama called out Fox and Friends for being led by dumb as a rock moron number one and embarrasing dummy moron number two and a badly facelifted dog in between. It's just politics.

Trump's words lose all meaning of course, when he directs such insults at his own ex-cabinet members. The same ones who are "great" at the time of hire, yet magically become "dumb as a rock". Like, how pathetic is your judgment if the people you praise suddenly become terrible when you fire them for no real cause. Why do you keep hiring such people? Also the next time you praise someone as great, means literally nothing.
And yeah, not like there aren't bigger issues at hand for POTUS instead of TV hosts. Truly presidential.

The 3rd post was about Mark Rubio and it took a total of 8 post honoring a Civil Rights legend before it turned to Trump. That's why I use the term "woke", because 95% of the threads in this forum are started to show how someone is not woke.
"A total of 8 posts" doesn't seem particularly bad to me.
People taking up all that forum space criticizing Trump do so because they think he is uniquely bad and dangerous, a threat to the Republic, or at very least a symptom of something very wrong with it. And part of that symptom is that his abuses of power are rewarded by millions, a source of indifference to other millions. That generates immense anxiety about the future in the remainder of voters.
When you register such amazement at the space on a politics message board devoted to criticizing an unprecedently terrible person in charge of the country during a pandemic, and attribute the criticism to "hate," then you appear to deny that he is unprecedently terrible. The critics of terrible are really the problem. Or you are saying you don't care about terrible; you just wish we'd all talk about something else than a bad leader who uses his power to pardon his friends and fire whistelblowers and ignores medical advice during a pandemic.
You've only started 2 threads in this forum. Why not "diversify" it if you think it too narrow. Don't whine "If I do you'll just divert it to Trump bashing." You had a non-Trump issue thread going on the SCOTUS but blew it up yourself by jumping all over one poster who mentioned Trump, rather than ignoring that and keeping the focus on legal technics.
No one so far has been able to get you to explain why it does not make sense to devote a lot of space to talk about the worst president ever on political message board, as we tote up the consequences of his bad leadership amidst a public health crisis. By constantly criticizing his critics, while refusing to address the validity of their critique, you are implicitly saying he is not all that bad; the critics are the problem. So you don't want to refute bad or even admit bad, just shut up those who don't like bad and talk about it.

There is kind of a pardox here, which I don't recall ever seeing in national politics.
On the one hand, we need to see these Trump tweets so his own words demonstrate how unfit he is for office.
But on the other hand, we have many voters who don't see "unfit" in the constant stream of medical disinformation.
They will even take the president at his word, making the tweets a public health hazard.
It's like a contradiction between the option of an informed election and the option of a relatively safe one.
RE: Trump Tweets... - GMDino - 08-29-2020
Gonna be hard for Trump to find a new "tone" when he remains the thin-skinned child he always was.
..Even whether it’s dumb warmongers like John Bolton, social pretenders like Bob Woodward, who never has anything good to say, or an unstable niece, who was now rightfully shunned, scorned and mocked her entire life, and never even liked by her own very kind & caring grandfather!

Not real sure when he gets his numbers. Probably from the same place that says 96% approval from the Republican Party...that he never links the source of.
But what is important (to him) is the ratings...he thinks he's on a television show.

Must eat him up to know that the DNC and Biden's speech drew higher ratings than he did, despite the fact that the DNC and Biden were sharing a time slot with the NBA playoffs and Trump wasn't.
What a clown show this has all become.

Dude that helped Biden's ratings.
But Neilsen ratings aside; I read Trump got quite the bump from the convention.

How would having another draw on a different channel help?
The mental gymnastics, I swear.

It's nice the POTUS has time to worry about one suspect.
Edit to add I didn't realize he tweeted this within 15 minutes of the guy getting killed.
Why aren’t the Portland Police ARRESTING the cold blooded killer of Aaron “Jay” Danielson. Do your job, and do it fast. Everybody knows who this thug is. No wonder Portland is going to hell! @TheJusticeDept @FBI

Trump's new defense of his own damning words is the other guy didn't tell everyone about them sooner.
Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn’t he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn’t he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic!

Honestly, I don't see them using it. I'm really surprised the Lincoln project hasn't, though.

Could have seen this coming.
He's a joke.
When we win I, as your President, will totally forgive ALL deferred payroll taxes with money from the General Fund. I will ALWAYS protect Seniors and your Social Security! Sleepy Joe Biden will do the opposite, he will raise your taxes and DESTROY our Country!
