Trump: The Third Year

Did you notice that all the people you’ve just mentioned either resigned or were fired by Trump?

Trump’s statement on film is pretty lukewarm - “it sounds to me they believe it was Russia” speaks volumes.

Comparable to the “500 pound guy in the basement” and “I believed Putin” in Helsinki.

Are we back in kindergarten? “No, you’re the agent of disinformation”

I provided 2 sources which documented the Guardian ran a dubious nothing, based on hearsay hit piece from WaPo.

You even now are countering with nothing,

The staffers quit/terminated - relevance?
Statement of ‘it was Russia’ did not meet your standard of harshness - so?
Quoting snide remarks having nothing to do with subject - why?

Kindergarten? Vielleicht…:slight_smile:

Disputing your theory about the “micromanager” Trump. He has a history of letting his acolytes take a public stance first, then contradicting them later on to show off his “strength”. See Haley, Tillerson, Bolton…

Yes, because he actually said “it sounds to me they believe it was Russia” which is not exactly an endorsement of an ally. The man simply cannot force himself to say anything bad about Putin.

Because of your preposterous claim about “agents”. I know that, per Goebbels, you have to accuse your opponent of doing exactly what you’re doing but c’mon, that was ridiculous.

Of course this is obviously true. Adam Schiff even told congress:

When your smart enough not to call someone “Hitler”, just call him one of his henchmen or in this case, propaganda minister! But whatever you do, just make sure you tie it in with the NAZI party somehow, someway. LOL!!!

Your smart.

Reads like something from the Bible, doesn’t it? By the way, with his latest decision to betray the Kurds, POTUS threw a lifeline to ISIS ensuring that it will rise again in 6 months’ time under a new name. Twitter posturing won’t stop that…

No, I’m just saying that Goebbels pioneered the concept of accusing others of what one is doing. See Perry, Rick in the dictionary while you’re rocking back and forth and chanting the daily Hunter Biden mantras.

Freud actually pioneered that concept. It’s called projection, it’s not hardly new in human existence.
Otherwise, I don’t know what you are talking about.

Projection ala Freud is specifically aimed at emotions being projected onto others, not actions.

When used as propaganda in a political sense, Goebbel literally wrote the book on it

I’ll be damned if I can remember his name, but there was an early 1900’s progressive propaganda master that Goebbel just borrowed the book from.

In the 1930s, his Dixie Cup campaign was designed to convince consumers that only disposable cups were sanitary by linking the imagery of an overflowing cup with subliminal images of vaginas and venereal disease

The most intelligent thing in your post is the last sentence. The thing is, it never stops you from commenting.

Thank you.

@treco I liked the freedom torches, so women smoke more!

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

Pioneered is the wrong word. Discovered would be more appropriate. People\ governments have been doing it a long time before it had a name.

And the slaughter of our allies, and freeing of an unknown amount of ISIS fighters has begun.

I wonder what turkey will have to do in order for POTUS to destroy their economy?

Did you support sending troops into Syria in the first place? It was an extremely unpopular decision.

Yes, in a limited support-type role. But I run hawkish.

Do you think it is a good idea to abandon allies in the face of slaughter and ignore the insistint advice of all military brass and the overwhelming majority of civilian advisors?
