Re: This is great.
Trump is great he is doing everything he said he would.
45 times Trump said we shouldn't attack Syria.

Re: This is great.
Am I allowed to break forum rule #5, since the Dr. is making such a major habit of it in this thread?
I have not yet figured out a way to quote Trump in my own words, what with that being a contradiction in terms.

Here is what Trump said he'd do in his first hundred days.

Stuff Marc Made Up
I heard a lot about all the hissing and booing going on when Ivanka was speaking publicly during her overseas visit. As the news media played the video clip a few days ago, I wasn't hearing it, but figured that I just had my volume too low or something. But no, now I find out it was just another U.S. News media lie.
Here are three different videos of the event from three different sources. In all of them the jeering is plainly audible.

Ivanka Trump gets booed, hissed at during Berlin event - POLITICO
Ivanka Trump booed and hissed after mentioning father Donald at summit in Germany | The Independent | The Independent
After listening again, it now sounds to me like the crowd was murmuring in agreement with what she was saying.
No it does not. And I knew that that wouldn't be true even before I looked at the videos, as she was not addressing an audience of mental patients.

Marc Exhibits His Symptoms
In seconds 6,7, and 8, you're right. About 3 voices, maybe 4.
How did you count them?
At the 16 second mark, the "huh huh" sounds to me like another way to say "understatement of the century".
Then you are a deeply strange man.
As I mentioned in Message 702, ABC World News Tonight on the evening of 4-3-17 had nothing to say about the political spying on Trump. To it's credit, it did address the issue on 4-4, and again tonight on 4-5, but just in ways to try to downplay it.
You're referring here to Trump's unsubstantiated accusations against Obama? What do you expect, nightly updates? "And another day has gone by without Trump producing a shred of evidence for his paranoid delusions, so it still looks as though the PotUS is lying or mad or both."
But tonight, my local station joined them in progress, about 1 minute into their broadcast. (the local's coverage of severe storms in my area caused the short delay.) As soon as WNT came on, the caption on the bottom of the screen read; ~Trump;"Crossed a Lot of Lines"~. The caption stayed there for over a full minute, while they talked about the chemical attack in Syria. Trump was upset about it, as any U.S. President would have been. He said the Syrian leader "crossed a lot of lines", and that he might change his position on foreign involvement because of it. They didn't seem to be putting him down for it. But they know of course, that their broadcast, in addition to being in home living rooms, is on countless thousands of Television sets at shopping malls, department stores, laundromats, sports bars etc. Places where lots of activity is going on, and chances are the volume is down, or is drowned out by other noise. How many tens of thousands of people walked by those sets, with other things on their minds, and only glanced at the caption; Trump "Crossed a Lot of Lines". Do you think they all perfectly noticed the punctuation? Or were they cleverly mislead? How many people who don't pay much attention to politics just get another slight little Trump slam etched in their minds?
OMG, Marc. They broadcast the truth, and while doing so they provided an accurate caption, but --- with what devilish cunning! --- they phrased that caption so that it would subliminally influence people in laundromats who misread it and thought it said something else.
How fiendish! Why did Goebbels never think of that?
You great gibbering paranoid loony.

Re: Marc Exhibits His Symptoms
I listened with my ears.
We have established that your ears are not reliable.
Well, for a long period we got nightly updates about liberal unsubstantiated accusations that Russia somehow saw to it that Trump won the election.
We get regular updates because new stuff keeps coming out about it. With Trump's accusations he made something up and then ... absolutely nothing happened. You can't expect the same level of scrutiny --- and since such scrutiny would be about how Trump's a liar, a lunatic, or both, you would hardly welcome it either.
That's it exactly, they couldn't be called on a lie.
Your paranoid delusions continue to be amusing but will not convince normal people.
C'mon, if they wanted to attack Trump there are plenty of ways to do so which would reach people other than semi-illiterates in laundromats. There's no shortage of dirt on him.

He made a big deal of how he opposed the cuts to Medicare which he is now supporting.

Re: Total healthcare spending in other countries less than government alone pays here.
Those on the left know it's not, so they have a choice - they can try to propose serious amendments to it or eliminate it and replace it completely, or they can pretend that it is flexible enough to accommodate all the socialism that someone like Bernie Sanders favors.
No pretending is necessary. Reading it is useful.

When he talks to Mueller, he will perjure himself eight times before Mueller gets his coat off.

Re: The Barr Letter on the Mueller Report
The Mueller report further concludes that there was no collusion by the Trump campaign with Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
No criminal conspiracy that can be proved beyond reasonable doubt. That's different.
