They're Eating The Dogs Presidential Thread

America’s Mayor RUDY G! being considered for Attorney General.

I think everyone fully expects another clown to be appointed. This would fit.

[Boomchild]

Please fuck off. Many people are ashamed of our RWNJ govt and their immigration policies. That's why they are so unpopular.

Awhile back you were explaining how secure your election system is. If that is the case it, how are these people getting elected if they don't represent what the citizens want?

Clown translation: Anyone that is not a left leaning liberal. Giuliani is one the most respected former mayors in our country.

But that's just not true. He has been nothing short of unhinged in the time with Trump. Completely mad on TV, erratic, lying, contradicting himself and his supreme leader. I used to think he was quite amazing and his time as NYM was for what I understand - a big success.

But the last 6 months...crazy town!

Long story....but the short of it...the left leaning govt changed leaders due to internal arguments which pissed off the public...the election left the govt with a minority govt...but they did an amazing job of passing legislation including a carbon emissions scheme. But the RWNJ party had an attack dog for a leader and he was just a relentless attacking asshole who had the Rupert Murdoch press on his side (fuckwit) and then the party swapped leaders again and at the election, the public punished them for being idiots.

The RWNJ party took control and RWNJ leader quickly became the most hated PM in history and they eventually dumped him by doing what they attacked the former govt for doing - a back stabbing coup.

They've remained the most unpopular govt in history and an election is due before May 2019 in which they will be dispatched to the oblivion they deserve - despite Murdoch still bankrolling the party.

Obviously not everyone sees it that way. A lot of time is spent responding to such statements when maybe the better approach is to ask just who you think should be appointed as AG and why.

I'm not familiar enough with the potential candidates there. I'd expect a RW friendly to be installed, but it would be nice if you guys can find one without Russian ties.

And which AG had proven Russian ties???? It seems pretty weak to me to complain this person or that person isn't qualified when you can't cite a specific person as an alternative. Actually, the right person would be someone that would do the job without using a political bias. But since people suggest that person will just shows you that our justice system is corrupt. And it hasn't started with the current administration. When was the last time the DOJ indicted and prosecuted a Senator or Congressmen? To me that alone just shows the corruption and that some people left to operate above the law.

Drumpf has also suggested he'd revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-U.S. citizens on American soil and erect massive "tent cities" to detain migrants.

Is that what they're calling concentration camps nowadays?

What an ignorant comment, or that of a complete moron. Let’s go with both..

Suckin' the main Cheeto vein, I see. Uh-huh. You missed a spot.

Good, I thought it was just me. Both for sure.

And we already know you definitely have been, are, and will continue to. You suck deeper, longer and harder than any other "R" here. And you swallow.

Shit. In the Northeast, maybe.

[The_Noble_Cause]

This is the dumbest shit I've seen in awhile. The bottom line is, Acosta should have yielded the mic and not allowed the situation to escalate to physical contact with the young staffer/intern. The footage only appears manipulated because they zoomed in which changed the frame rate.

[JBlake]

I didn’t catch it all, not sure of context, will look for a video...but Don spoke to Press before leaving for Paris this morning.

Potus just said to press..

I'll never forgive what he (Obama) did to our military. He made it very unsafe for you and you and you (press). I'll never forgive him for other things he has done and I will talk to you about that in the future.

-edit-

I see KC posted the video above. Good stuff from POTUS as usual.

Awesome! Good stuff here.

Is there a link that shows zooming a video changes frame rate? It doesn't seem like it should and I have never heard of that before.

[verslibre]

A zoom is a just a zoom. Somebody (InfoWhores?) posted a slo-mo that "implied" Acosta "laid a hand" on her, when all he did was reflexively block her from snatching the mic from his hand in mid-sentence.

Just another typically Trumpian molehill-turned-mountain. Nothing more.

BuzzFeed broke the video down. The frame rate was altered prior to the zoom effect, when it was first made into a gif. Regardless, I watched it live and thought Acosta should have yielded to the staffer/intern.

"There's no evidence that the video was deliberately sped up — but the change in format, from a high quality video to a low quality gif, turns the question of whether it was 'doctored' into a semantic debate."

"Video-to-gif conversion cuts frame rates by removing frames. A gif-making tool might reduce a source video to 10 frames per second from a raw, televised rate of 29.97 fps. When frames drop out, the video appears jumpier. Acosta's arm seems to move faster. Everything accelerates."

So a journalist should "reflexively block" a young intern or staffer when his or her time is up? It should never even get to that point.
Acosta was given more time than almost everybody there.
He was repeatedly told by the president that he was moving on to the next question.

A comparison between the Cspan feed and Infowars shows that no video was "doctored." This is a frame rate/compression issue.

There's no "should" in the equation. It was reflexive, i.e. impulsive. His mind was on one thing. She was reaching into his personal space. Yes, he was using time, but he was trying to finish, and he kept getting cut off. Shit happens. It's a press conference.

[Monker]

That still doesn't make sense. I don't believe you can zome in on video and cause frame rate changes. The comments in that link tell it all...they don't know what they are talking about and are just guessing. There are only opinions there and nothing fatual.

This is the closest I have seen to something factual:

...it is still an opinion....but at least it is the opinion of an expert.

The Whitehouse using video provided by InfoWars as a reason to pull credentials is a bit pathetic. That is the REAL problem here.

Acosta pushes the boundaries while questioning Trump. It seems that is what Trump is really trying to avoid and why his credentials were removed.

Just out — in Arizona, SIGNATURES DON’T MATCH. Electoral corruption - Call for a new Election? We must protect our Democracy!

Sure. Let's do a wholesale recount, now that all the ballots are in. Then he'll lose the Senate, too.

Full fucking audit and investigation! I'd bet that illegals voted and, if they did, we need to get to the bottom of who put them up to it. It wasn't the Republicans. There is enough suspicion that we are right to demand that it be investigated. If it turns up nothing, I will accept the results, but my gut says something ain't right. There's also some hinky shit going on in Florida.

Looks like Malibu might burn, hearing the whole place is ordered evacuated and Bruce Jenner’s House is already burned down. Lots of expensive houses out there, hope they have insurance.

Hope it doesn't get Kevin Shirley!

I did today. Don't blink.

Please talk to Mueller. He needs your help and facts. Before you get on your next bullshit soap box, talk to the IRS also. Seems thaty can't do there job either. They seem to have all of The Presidents tax papers yet can't find anything wrong. Yet the Media keeps pushing it so idiots can eat it up.

I really don't like you. I think the debate in here would be far less acrimonious if you were removed.

Sorry, I refer to Rudy and his Russian ties.

I've seen plenty of references to him dealing with Russian oligarchs and real estate in NYC.

The Buzzfeed analysis already covered this. The clip was first made into a gif, which removed frames.

They could have (and should have) just used the Cspan feed.
