When there is no good argument for your support of the great cheeto, deflect... ~ the ostrich strategy.
Good point.. it's childish and stupid to insult a person's appearance, it solves nothing and does nothing to move the debate in a positive direction, it just deflects away from more serious issues... we should all be above that.
Let's say trump isn't president, and you was standing right beside him when he made that tweet.
Let's say that tweet was about your wife.
What would you do?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

I would feel the same way, it's a pathetic and stupid thing to say.. it shows a total lack of class and dignity...
The fact that he IS president, just makes it that much worse because, and some may disagree.. I expect more from people in high places, and you don't get much higher than President.
House passes Kate’s Law, as part of illegal immigrant crackdown
House Republicans took action Thursday to crack down on illegal immigrants and the cities that shelter them.
One bill passed by the House would deny federal grants to sanctuary cities and another, Kate’s Law, would increase the penalties for deported aliens who try to return to the United States.
Kate's Law, which would increase the penalties for deported aliens who try to return to the United States and caught, passed with a vote of 257 to 157, with one Republican voting no and 24 Democrats voting yes.
Kate's Law is named for Kate Steinle, a San Francisco woman killed by an illegal immigrant who was in the U.S. despite multiple deportations. The two-year anniversary of her death is on Saturday.
President Trump called the bill's passage "good news" in a tweet, adding "House just passed #KatesLaw. Hopefully Senate will follow."
Republicans are out here crying about divisiveness and such with regards to trump.....but didn't they start all of this nonsense before obama even took office?
they couldn't get anything done then. they became the party of no.
then they told the american people if they got control, they would get things done.
even though i'm against it, the american people spoke, gave them complete control.....
and NOTHING. all they've done is crap the bed, gave some feel good immigration solutions, but no major policies created, and the ONE policy they seem to have some sort of unity on, damn near every single american HATES the healthcare bill.
and now they wanna try and blame it on trump?
somebody on this board said it best: the GOP is what happens when a barking dog finally catches the car. doesn't know what to do with it.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
The GOP is currently learning how to lead instead of fight the leadership as they had to do for 8 years.
They are fast learners as Trumps agenda gets more attention with each passing day. Trump has signed 28 Bills and 30 Executive orders to date.
Congress has just passed 2 more immigration bills at Trumps urging.
All this with the Dems staying home with their ball.
Yes dems have been at home. That's why y'all have been crying over the big mean liberal press and do nothing dems and scary protesters... I'm beginning to think you have dementia.
Jump to any conclusions lately Arch? Wow you must live a tough life, spreading all that crap like it's your job!
Well, if I were to say we should build a wall around oldcold, and then backfill it with cement", how would you take it?
My life isn't all that tough, but it's not easy either. I struggle with bills, I struggle with running a business in a competitive market. I'm doing okay though, thanks for asking.

I'm glad you are doing ok, really. But back to the bickering, I'd say build that wall (if you can)! Personally you know how I feel about Trump and those who 'cult' follow him. I wouldn't kill them or even physically harm them unless provoke with physical harm myself. BUT figuratively I'd pull the lever on the cement truck.
Swish, There is no need to ask a trumpyear if they are embarrassed by the actions of a fool, this is who they are. He always says things like that, acts like This! They like it. The Trump supporters are as low class as Trump is.
Trump has no policy, can't talk intelligently on any subject and only cares how he looks and feels. Trump cannot focus on anything for more than 2 seconds. And when he does focus, it's about stupid stuff and hops on Twitter instead of things of substance.
A idiot does not all the sudden turn smart. PERIOD!
conservative women are going hard in the paint on Trump right now.
i just don't get it. why would he say something like that?
Whomever was in charge of babysitting the Don must have taken a bathroom break this morning, leaving the donald alone with his twitter.
The next step is a new white jacket for the don, who likely earned his "certification" today.
The boy needs some professional help...
Picking Mika as the subject of his twitter rant...not smart. Her man might ask for a face to face conversation to discuss facelifts and bleeding.
Where I'm from, you badmouth someones woman..you are asking for an ass kicking.
Just when you thought it could not get worse...it does. A little background exposed this morning shows a claim that Trump used his relationship with the National Enquirer(owner) to run a hit job story on Mika, Mika's kids, Joe and Mika's ex.
Trump tried blackmail Joe and Mika, offer to kill this phony/untrue story, if Joe and Mika apologized for the coverage Trump received from their show.
Trump is a sick puppy with and extremely sick brain. Hopefully those in charge of America's security have complete control over security and how our troops are used.
Our soldiers deserve to have a CIC who is not mentally ill, willing to sacrifice their lives and the security of America to satisfy his twisted rational.
Trump is not well...
'He Attacks Women:' Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough Return to Air After President Trump's Twitter Tirade
BY KAREN MIZOGUCHI, MICHAEL ZENNIE•@MZENNIE AND CHAR ADAMS•@CICIADAMS_
Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough slammed President Donald Trump Friday morning as they returned to the air after he personally attacked the Morning Joe hosts in a pair of tweets.
“Unfortunately, we’ve learned what we’ve always learned. He for some reason takes things very personally with women. He’s so much worse with women,” Scarborough said.
He added: “He attacks women.”
Brzezinski, whom Trump called “low-IQ, crazy” in a tweet and claimed she was “bleeding from a face-lift” when he last saw her, assured viewers that she has not taken the attacks to heart – but she’s concerned about the state of the nation.
“I’m fine. My family brought me up really tough,” the host, who is the daughter of renowned diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who served two presidents.
“He has a fixation. Its does worry me about the country. He appears to have a fragile, impetuous, childlike ego that he can’t take it,” she added.
“It is unbelievably alarming that this president is so easily played. He is so easily played by a cable news host.
PEOPLE previously confirmed the engaged couple delayed their July 4th holiday vacation in order to address the president on-air.
Trump, 71, took to Twitter early Thursday morning with a series of insults aimed at Brzezinski, 50, and Scarborough, 54.
“I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me,” Trump wrote. “She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump ...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!
8:58 AM - 29 Jun 2017
Brzezinski was quick to respond to Trump’s tweets on Thursday. The mother of two shared a photo of a Cheerios box with the headline “Made for Little Hands.”
She opened up about the Mar-a-Lago meetings on Friday, revealing that she and Scarborough didn’t want to go to the Palm Beach estate but “Donald kept calling Joe.”
After initially meeting with Scarborough, Trump allegedly insisted on Brzezinski visiting Mar-a-Lago as well — “For some reason he was more interested in Mika being there than me,” Scarborough said.
The couple went together the next night and Brzezinski said they spoke with Melania and Trump for just 20 minutes before leaving.
“Speaking of my face … I had my chin tweaked,” Brzezinski said, responding to Trumps face-lift claims. “I’m pretty transparent about what I do and I think it looks great.
Many were upset by Trump’s tweets, including politicians. But some of the most biting comments came from fellow Republicans who condemned the president’s morning rant.
Brzezinski and Scarborough initially responded to the attack in a Washington Post opinion piece. In the article, they opened up about their past experiences with the embattled president, including aNational Enquirer article he allegedly threatened to use to cast the pair in a negative light.
The political commentators alleged that “top White House staff members” told them that the publication was planning to write a negative story about them unless they “begged” Trump to have it spiked.
“Let me explain what they were threatening,” Brzezinski said on Friday, referring to National Enquirer officials. “They were calling my children. They were calling close friends and they were pinning the story on my ex husband [Jim Hoffer] … I knew immediately that it was a lie and that they had nothing.”
Willie Geist ✔@WillieGeist
Good time to remind you that @MorningMika is smart as hell, stronger than any critic, & a role model for what we hope our daughters can be.
10:25 AM - 29 Jun 2017
Scarborough said that he received numerous calls from White House officials, begging him to call the president and offer an apology for the morning show’s coverage.
“The president is friends with the guy who runs the National Enquirer and they said, ‘If you call the president and you apologize for your coverage then he will pick up the phone and basically spike the story,’ ” Scarborough recalled.
“I’m not gonna do it. The calls kept coming and kept coming and they were like, ‘Call! You need to call! Please call! Come on, Joe. Just pick up the phone and call [Trump].”
American Media Inc., the parent company of the National Enquirer, did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Morning Joe ✔@Morning_Joe .@morningmika: "It’s been fascinating and frightening and really sad for our country" #morningjoe

This isn’t the first time Trump has called out members of the media or commented on their appearance.
Earlier this week, the President was criticized by some after singling out Ireland RTE’s U.S. Bureau Chief, Caitriona Perry, during an Oval Office phone call with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.
“She has a nice smile on her face, so I bet she treats you well,” Trump told Varadkar on the phone after he had called Perry over.
In addition, Trump has had a long-running feud with Fox News-turned-NBC News anchor Megyn Kelly since the first presidential primary debate, when he tweeted that “she had blood coming out of her wherever.”
Trump travel ban takes effect to minimal disruption
Trump’s travel ban: Who's allowed in and who's barred? A scaled-down version of President Donald Trump’s travel ban took effect at 8 p.m. ET Thursday, with none of the dramatic scenes of protest and chaos that greeted the original version of Trump’s executive order five months ago.
The Departments of Homeland Security, State and Justice went ahead with the implementation after the Supreme Court partially restored the order earlier this week.
The new rules tighten visa policies affecting citizens from six majority Muslim nations: Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen. People from those countries who need new visas will now have to prove a close family relationship or an existing relationship with an entity like a school or business in the United States.
Citizens of those countries who already have visas will be allowed into the U.S. as usual.
San Francisco to pay $190G to undocumented immigrant over sanctuary law violation, lawyer says
A man from El Salvador in the U.S. illegally who sued San Francisco after police turned him over to immigration authorities in violation of the city's sanctuary law is set to be awarded $190,000, his attorney said Thursday.
Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno, 33, reached the settlement agreement with the city attorney's office, said Saira Hussain, a staff attorney at the Asian Law Caucus who represented Zarceno. The agreement must be approved by the Board of Supervisors.
“It’s really important for San Francisco to remain a sanctuary city not in name only but also in practice,” Hussain told The San Francisco Examiner. “Our hope is that the department is going to look into this further and really examine the way that the department can do more."
What Trump did was awful. Even folks like Lindsay Graham and Paul Ryan disapproved of his actions in those Tweets.
One thing holds true. There are Conservatives, there's the GOP and there's Trumpians. Trumpians will excuse anything and everything Trump does no matter how wrong it is. The rest of the party has a sense of morals they won't simply sell out to give this president carte blanche.
It's separating the wheat from the chaff.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
What Mr. Lemon says is spot on....unless the Republicans truly stand up against him they are enabling him. AND, what is worse? To be supportive or to partially turn a blind eye? Ryan lost all respect when he immediately, spinelessly got all cozy with DT once he won. So much for your morals, Mr. Ryan.
Also...maybe I missed something because I can't watch these pressers nor keep up with who has been fired, quit, stepped down etc. but, what happened to Spicer?
I guess that translates to they made him hide in the office until the press briefings are over with.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I haven't seen anyone supporting the Presidents tweet. Most have said, he said it and now will face the consequences. We all knew when we elected him that he will punch back 10 times harder than he is punched, so now he did it. Not the first time and won't be the last. You Liberals think it is a one way street with all your insults, now you know it is not.
What we are saying is that you Liberals got your feelings hurt, again, and now are crying a mole hill into a mountain.
