Awkward???? Not sure if you even know the meaning of it at this point. What do you do for work loser? You must be something special as you make fun of pool cleaners

 

[KnighttimeJoe]

You are the very definition of Awkward. You have no ability to interact with other human beings. You’re a sociopath. That’s why you and your lover @NinjaKnight see eye to eye

^^^^^^^^^^ladies and gentleman, I present to you a shook and unstable snowflake. You gonna cry now or something? We can practically hear you sobbing over the interwebs.

What a joke you are,

 

[Ucfmikes]

^^^^^^^^^^ladies and gentleman, I present to you a shook and unstable snowflake. You gonna cry now or something? We can practically hear you sobbing over the interwebs.

What a joke you are,

I’m laughing at you, because you’re an easy target. So pathetic.

 

[Ucfmikes]

I didn't know you worked in fast food! Good to know, loser!

You have a very meaningless job. I can just tell. You bring up fast food and pool boys a lot. You’re very insecure. You probably are incapable of working with professional educated people

 

[KnighttimeJoe]

Hahahahaha. You’re trying to impress your friends on here??? There’s like 5 people who post. Nobody is listening or cares. Get a life. What a freaking loser

then why do you keep posting, nuthugger?

You really aren't very good at this.

 

[Ucfmikes]

I enjoy stringing you along and watching you meltdown. Snowflake

 

[Ucfmikes]

nuthugger?

What a low class loser use of terms

 

[DaShuckster]

You’re terrible at this and are an easy target to troll and rattle, because you’re such a pathetic little girl

I've said it a million times on here that when backed in a corner, our resident MAGA hatters resort to personal attacks. What's even worse, they act like they've somehow scored points with their school yard insults.

 

[KnighttimeJoe]

You have a very meaningless job. I can just tell. You bring up fast food and pool boys a lot. You’re very insecure. You probably are incapable of working with professional educated people

I just make fun of losers like you who never rose past the lofty statuses of fry guy and pool cleaner. Not my fault you were too lazy or brainless to achieve much else.

Anyhow, I have much better things to do than go back and forth with someone who's beneath me. God bless and I'll keep you and the rest of the meaningless peasants in my thoughts and prayers. Later!

 

[Ucfmikes]

You really aren't very good at this.

Good at this??

AlcoholicJoe:: “Look mommy. I’ve succeeded in life. I’m better than this UCFmikes guy on a free rivals board. The water cooler.”

Hahahahaha

You’re just upset, because Trump is still in office despite your prayers and you’re still simmering on lockdown in your NGEbraska basement

What a snowflake. When the going gets tough, weak, snowflake, AlcoholicJoe, cries, and cowers into a fetal position in his mother’s basement

AlcoholicJoe can never hang for long. He’s a lowlife, low socioeconomic status, loser with no communication skills

 

[Ucfmikes]

0/20 Joe. Got to love the fast food and pool cleaner jokes. I’m sure you can relate.

Too bad your time has passed and you’ll never amount to anything in life

 

[DaShuckster]

You’re just upset, because Trump is still in office despite your prayers and you’re still simmering on lockdown in your NGEbraska basement

Apparently you haven't noticed, but your lil' thread rant here is proving my point.

 

[Ucfmikes]

go back and forth with someone who's beneath me

Wrong again Joe. That’s a reference to your relationship with your main squeeze Ninjaknight Pound away

 

[Ucfmikes]

Apparently you haven't noticed, but your lil' thread rant here is proving my point.

Dude you literally rant on here 24/7 about Trump. 100 posts again today??

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Can you guys stop bickering and focus on ignoring the fact that Trump intentionally downplayed the virus in March and cost countless lives?

You do realize that Biden and everyone else were against shutting down travel from China so quickly. That’s a fact. How is that downplaying it? He restricted travel, then wanted to do the same in the Tri-State area. Nixed by Cuomo of course

Who are you arguing with? Trump is the one who said he downplayed it. His own words. The point of this thread.

What did he downplay it to? He never said it wasn’t serious and deadly.

It’s not doomsday and he never treated it as such. He opened things up and in hindsight it was a brilliant move

September 9, 2020 (Wednesday)

Back in April, when America had reached the unthinkable level of 50,000 dead from Covid-19, news broke that Trump had been briefed way back in January on how deadly the coronavirus was but had not acted on that information. Trump defended his lack of action by saying he had been misled by the CIA briefer, who had, he tweeted, “only spoke of the Virus in a very non-threatening, or matter of fact, manner….”

Trump lied. He knew.

On January 28, at a top secret intelligence briefing, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien told Trump that the coronavirus would be the “biggest national security threat” of his presidency. It registered. Trump’s head popped up as O’Brien’s deputy, Matt Pottinger, told Trump it could be as bad as the 1918 pandemic, and that it was spread fast by people who showed no symptoms.

On February 7, just two days after his acquittal in the Senate on the charges of impeachment, Trump picked up the phone and called journalist Bob Woodward, who was surprised to hear the president talk not about the acquittal, but about the new virus. Trump told Woodward: “This is deadly stuff.” He explained that the virus is transmitted by air, and that it was five times more dangerous than “even your strenuous flus.”

And yet, on February 2, Trump had said in a Fox News Channel interview before the Super Bowl that “we pretty much shut it down coming in from China.” Trump continued to hold large indoor rallies where he insisted the coronavirus was similar to the flu and that it would soon disappear. Twenty days after his call to Woodward, he was still telling Americans not to worry and he refused to prepare for the coming crisis. Trump told Woodward that he was not telling Americans the truth because he didn’t want “to create a panic.”

By March 19, Trump told Woodward that Covid-19 was killing young people as well as older folks, although throughout the summer he continued to insist that children should go back to school because they were “almost immune” from the virus. On April 3, Trump said at a briefing: “I said it was going away and it is going away.” On April 5, he told Woodward “It’s a horrible thing. It’s unbelievable.” On April 13, as he dismissed the need for masks, the president told Woodward “It’s so easily transmissible, you wouldn’t even believe it.”

Over the course of 18 interviews, Trump spoke for nine hours to journalist Bob Woodward. He had apparently been angry at his aides for shielding him from Woodward before the journalist published his book Fury in 2018, thinking he could charm Woodward into presenting him in a better light, as he had shaped coverage of himself in the tabloids in New York City in the 1980s and 1990s. Trump also urged senior staff and officials to talk to Woodward, who ended up getting interviews with senior adviser Jared Kushner, national security adviser Robert O’Brien, deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger, and former chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, among others.

Apparently, White House aides warned Trump against talking to Woodward, but not only did he do so, he permitted Woodward to record the conversations. So when White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany today tried to say that Trump had never tried to downplay the virus, a reporter retorted: “It’s on tape, Kayleigh.”

When this story broke, Trump immediately tried to reassure his base by releasing yet more names of people he would consider for any new Supreme Court seats (the list is now more than 40 people long), and told reporters that perhaps he had misled Americans because he is “a cheerleader for this country.” Trump defenders were left trying to find someone to blame for the recorded interviews. Apparently, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham helped to persuade Trump to talk to the famous journalist and tonight, Fox News Channel personality Tucker Carlson blamed Graham for the debacle, implying he had deliberately undercut the president.

In his final interview with Woodward on July 21, Trump told him, “The virus has nothing to do with me…. It's not my fault. It's — China let the damn virus out."

The book has other stunning information as well. Among other things:

Trump’s former top national security officials do not support him. Former Defense Secretary James Mattis told Woodward that Trump is “dangerous” and “unfit” to be commander in chief. Trump’s former Director of National Intelligence, former Indiana Senator Dan Coates, who is a conservative Republican, told Woodward that he suspected Putin had something on Trump. According to Woodward, Coats “continued to harbor the secret belief, one that had grown rather than lessened, although unsupported by intelligence proof, that Putin had something on Trump.” Woodward wrote: “How else to explain the president’s behavior? Coats could see no other explanation.”

Trump allegedly said “my f***ing generals are a bunch of p*****s” because they prioritized alliances over trade deals.

Trump dropped the information that his administration has developed a “nuclear… weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before. We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before. There’s nobody—what we have is incredible.” Other sources confirmed to Woodward that the American military has developed a new weapons system. They would not talk about it, and were surprised that Trump had told Woodward about it.

On CNN, Carl Bernstein said that Woodward’s Trump tapes were worse than the Nixon tapes. The last line of Woodward's book reads: “Trump is the wrong man for the job.”

Stunningly, there was a second story today at least as big as the information in the Woodward book. Trump told Woodward that he was not telling Americans the truth because he didn’t want “to create a panic.” But he has, of course, spent the last several months explicitly trying to do just that: create a panic by claiming that dangerous anarchists are attacking our cities. It turns out he and his staff are trying to manipulate our national intelligence assessments to justify his argument.

Representative Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, today released a whistleblower complaint alleging that senior Trump officials politicized, manipulated, and censored intelligence to benefit Trump. Brian Murphy was the Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis in the Department of Homeland Security. He claims that between March 2018 and August 2020, he repeatedly complained that security leaders were undercutting intelligence that showed Russia was working to undermine the United States.

That attempt to hide Russian attacks on America escalated this May. At the time, Chad Wolf was serving as the acting Secretary of Homeland Security, although the Government Accountability Office, Congress’s nonpartisan watchdog, says he was appointed to that office illegally. The complaint says that Wolf “instructed Mr. Murphy to cease providing intelligence assessments on the threat of Russian interference in the United States, and instead start reporting on interference activities by China and Iran. Mr. Wolf stated that these instructions specifically originated from White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. Mr. Murphy informed Mr. Wolf he would not comply with these instructions, as doing so would put the country in substantial and specific danger.”

The complaint also concerns the DHS Threat Assessment leaked yesterday to Politico. Wolf and his deputy Ken Cuccinelli—also appointed illegally, according to the GAO—prohibited the release of the threat assessment because it discussed both the threat of white supremacists and of Russian influence in the United States. This, they said, would reflect badly on the president. “Mr. Cuccinelli stated that Mr. Murphy needed to specifically modify the section on White Supremacy in a manner that made the threat appear less severe, as well as include information on the prominence of violent ‘left-wing’ groups.” Wolf wanted to add information about the ongoing unrest in Portland, Oregon.

Murphy refused to sign off on their alteration of the intelligence report, warning that it was “an abuse of authority and improper administration of an intelligence program. Wolf ordered it revised anyway. Murphy warned that the final version of the threat assessment would “more closely resemble a policy document with references to ANTIFA and ‘anarchist’ groups than an intelligence document.” This is the document leaked in draft form to Politico yesterday.

That document was representative of a systemic effort to change intelligence reports, swinging them away from information on white supremacists and toward the language of the president. Murphy claims that Wolf and Cuccinelli repeatedly told him “to modify intelligence assessments to ensure they matched up with the public comments by President Trump on the subject of ANTIFA and ‘anarchist’ groups.”

Murphy also charges that administration officials, including then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, lied to Congress, when she knowingly provided “inaccurate and highly inflated claims of known or suspected terrorists entering the United States through the southwest border.”

Schiff has asked Murphy to testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Monday, September 21, at 10:00 am.

Former Director of National Security Daniel Coats, who continues to insist that Russia is attacking the 2020 election process, also spoke up today to demand that the intelligence community resume its in-person briefings to Congress about election security. “[Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin ought to be very happy with the way this is turning out,” Coats said. “He can only view his efforts as successful.”

There is a third major story today. Wildfires driven by winds are burning across California, Oregon, and Washington. California alone has lost more than 2.5 million acres this year, and Washington has lost almost a half a million this week alone. Oregon has lost 300,000. At least 7 people have died. The region is blanketed with smoke and an eerie orange haze, and in places, ash falls like rain.

What did he downplay it to? He never said it wasn’t serious and deadly.

It’s not doomsday and he never treated it as such. He opened things up and in hindsight it was a brilliant move

He said he downplayed it. I take him at his word.
But just as a refresher

a) Democratic hoax
b) few cases will be zero soon
c) gone by Easter

just off the top of my head.

The only one that I remember to be true is “b”. NOBODY WAS taking this seriously at 15 cases. Especially Dr Fauci

I already addressed C as being untrue

“a” was taken out of context. Calling it democratic hoax had nothing to do with the argument of downplaying it. The Democrats were using it politically and still are.

And yet the democrats will try to, and more than likely, impeach him next year over this.

 

[NinjaKnight]

How you guys try to carry on a conversation with these dog shit stupid morons is beyond me.

 

[firm_bizzle]

He opened up the country around the Easter and saved it from a recession that would last for years. Unemployed, drunkard @KnighttimeJoe and you just don’t feel it or see it.

He didn't open sh*t.

 

[Ucfmikes]

He didn't open sh*t.

Yes he did. He let the governors do it

 

[Ucfmikes]

Another pathetic loser with a 10 word vocabulary

 

[firm_bizzle]

Yes he did. He let the governors do it

So he didn't do sh*t.

 

[Ucfmikes]

So he didn't do sh*t.

He didn’t open anything on a federal level?? SMH

 

[DaShuckster]

Trump is on tape telling Woodward he deliberately downplayed the virus, yet our MAGA hattears are STILL arguing he didn’t lie about it???!?

I’ll be more charitable than Ninja and say you’ve gotta admire the way these guys are going down with the ship.

 

[NinjaKnight]

"I didn't want the country to panic"

-says the idiot whose entire campaign revolves around him claiming Joe Biden will unleash antifa hordes into your suburbs to murder and burn everyone.

 

[sk8knight]

He didn’t open anything on a federal level?? SMH

Nah, when something doesn’t happen that the proggies think should, it’s all Trump’s fault. When something positive happens that Trump pushes for, even though they all cried holy terror against it, they praise anyone in the chain of command other than Trump. It’s a good bit of “that’s what comes with leadership” mixed with a good bit of “we hate Trump so we wouldn’t be caught dead giving him credit for anything positive.”

Well it’s safe to say that this thread is burned. But what have we learned? Despite the president recorded and in his own words admitting he misled the country, certain people still defend him.
Amazing, particularly when I have GOP friends within the administration and on the Hill that are Blown away at this presidents actions and disgusted. They actually make a living and put food on the table working in GOP politics.
Yet you guys support this behavior. He’s f-ing on tape Admitting to lying.
I can’t decide why.
I think several of you are somewhat intelligent, obviously a few are just batshit crazy.
is it you just don’t want to admit you’ve been wrong? You’ve been promoting a guy who has turned out to be what everyone has been saying?
is it just a team sport mentality and you cheer for your side no matter what?
You understand that’s what “They” want on both sides.
Bad is bad. Step up and point it out.
please don’t come back with the but “Biden” crap. I have issues with Biden and he was not my choice but compared to this hot mess he looks like our savior. Let go of the fear and rhetorical bullshit.
If Trump were the CEO of your company would he still have a job?? The answer is no. Over and over.

 

[Crazyhole]

Its pretty hypocritical whenever someone on the left accuses conservatives of always agreeing with Trump.
