It ain't personal, It's business. I had a great friend I worked for. He was like that. If he set up breakfast with you tomorrow and fired you today, he still expected to meet the next morning for breakfast. Could really strike you as odd. But that had got him to where he was. And taught me a strange respect for some people. I wouldn't take it personal. It is the running of the greatest nation on earth and should be that far above board. If you worked for me and offered your resignation, I would accept it. I would not deny you doing what you thought was right. | ||

I can see it. It's a trust issue. You NEED people who you can trust to not BS you, even when they screw up. You have to deal with the screw up either way, but it's always easier when you are getting the facts straight on the first run through. I would guess that most people fail to really understand this sort of philosophy. | ||

P45 is having a press conference right now (CSPAN)...and he's tearing the press a new one. Every third sentence is some variation of "the press is full of shit". I REALLY like the transparency. It's about ••••••• time a President (I had typed "politician", but that's not right in this case) simply called it like it is. | ||

Well I was trying you find it and came across the NewYorker. What a lovely piece of poop that is. | ||

 ----------------------- FB, But why did Trump accept Flynn's resignation? I don't know. We only "know" what we've been told. P45 plays three-dimensional chess. One of the positive byproducts in all of this is that he forced the media to publicly acknowledge the existence of a "deep state." This will come as real news to many Americans. | ||

I wish I saw the whole press conference live.. I only saw parts of it and heard snippets on talk radio ... but I am about to watch the big 3 news networks tonight. I really liked what I saw today of the President and look forward to see the early morning fruitloops tomorrow. | ||

One of my favorite parts was the press asking repeatedly "will you tell us what's coming with the EO next week that you say is a big deal" and "how will you deal with the Russian ship and flyovers". "I'm not gonna tell you THAT!" (paraphrasing here) I'm not going to announce "we'll attack Mosul in four weeks...we'll attack in three weeks...we'll be attacking next week...why would we give that sort of intelligence away??" Well, will you tell us about your Intelligence activity and what they're doing to try and find the leaks? NO. Next? | ||

Thank you, Mr. President:

Bravo.  | ||

Thank you Fb1. | ||

Yes; Thank You Jerry, for putting that link up to the press conference. When I first clicked on it, I intended to just watch a couple of minutes, but I got drawn in by the President's comments. I was totally captivated by the Q&A period where several members of the press proved themselves to be complete horse's asses. I like how the President handled the conference. It just renews my belief that he probably is the best man for the job at the present time. And; who woulda thunk it; a politician who has kept his campaign promises! And in record time, no less. | ||

That's the best part - P45 isn't, by definition, a "politician". He holds political office...but that's about as far as it goes. He doesn't do things because he owes favors to special interests. He doesn't do things because somebody says he "should". He's not a puppet with strings that go...somewhere else. He's just "a guy", who's made promises and is taking action based on common sense and the best interests of the country and its citizens. Granted, "just a guy" worth billions of dollars...but how else to fund and fight through the system without being indebted to a puppeteer or a special interest? I love his frank responses. Common sense. Call a spade a spade (or a reporter a liar, or an industry corrupt, or an ex-opponent a criminal). THAT is what our press should be doing - it is what it is, it isn't what it isn't, and the CONSUMER has to decide which is good and which is bad. But they're not, because they're in the DNC's pocket. And he calls them out on it all through this conference. I hope that theme continues. Not only did he call them out repeatedly, he made the good point that "the public doesn't trust you anymore; you're going to lose market share; you should try being honest and doing your job right for a while and see how it goes". And that is the businessman in him - tell the folks at the table where everything stands; be clear about positions; end on a positive note. As in..."this can be fixed, but the parties need to agree to XYZ..." I also started watching on a whim. I was scrolling through my TV channel menu during a commercial and saw the listing. Figured "what the hell, let's see what's up today". Like Crusty, I got sucked in and next thing I knew it was an hour later! I am worried about the "enemy within" - that type of subversiveness scares me to death because it's MY country and MY livelihood at stake. But I admit, I feel a lot better about things after watching P45 in action. He gets it. He knows this stuff is going on. He's not hiding from it. He's not afraid to call it out; to bring it to the forefront; to speak candidly about it. And someone who does that...also won't be afraid to take action about it when it's time. Let's drain the swamp!! Anyone who hasn't watched yesterday's conference...please do. Trump supporter or no, it is a very good insight into the common-sense man who is running our country for us. | ||

I only saw a few clips of the news conference. It was being discussed at work this morning however. People seemed to think that he needs to learn to tone things down a bit. Then it was pointed out how refreshing his candor is, and everybody is in enthusiastic agreement. I think people are just not used to this sort of candor from a high level politician. The concept of inviting the press into a room to be berated is kind of appealing to me though. They have f^cking earned it! | ||

Just as Donald predicted, they called it a rant. What I saw was polite, factual, and as friendly as anything you could expect from anyone. Quite a contrast from the Barry reaction to any question that questioned HIM! Anything outside the mantra given to the press each day got a scathing look of hatred and disgust. If Obama had been asked the same kind of questions he would have walked out in a huff and the reporter kicked out of the pool, and his bosses pressured to fire him. Plus, the reporter would have been hacked and put under secret illegal surveillance by the FBI. ( Not a joke. It happened when a reporter insisted on actually reporting Obama's crimes. ) | ||

Undoing that executive order should have already been done by Trump ... unless he likes the idea of Government agencies having too much power to spy on US citizens. | ||
