Do you think it's possible that the Trump supporters believe the Russians aren't interfering in the Crimea and Ukraine?
Anything is possible with a few individuals, but in general, no.
Quote:Some of them are feeling warm and fuzzy about the ridiculous performance by that lightweight Miller attempting to appear horrified that the Press would ask hard questions.
Miller may be many things, but it's simply foolish to call him a "lightweight." Acosta wasn't asking hard questions, he was speechifying as an activist, not a journalist. Not only was he rude to Miller, he was rude to the rest of the press corp. There had to be more than one of his colleagues in that room thinking "STFU Acosta! Stop grandstanding and give the rest of us a chance to ask a question!"
Quote: Millers snappy retort at one point that the "Give me your...etc" was added later as if that mattered. Well printing "In God we trust" on the god damned money and the addition of "under God" into our pledge of allegiance was as recent as 1954. (I don't know when it became important to praise God on the money) This is pointless, intellectually dishonest and panders to the weak-minded.
Your point is obscure. The poem
was added to the statue, and the original intent of it was to celebrate liberty, not open borders. You seem to have a problem with the addition of references to God to money and the Pledge. Fair enough, but how is this related at all to Miller's comment?
Quote:We can do better than be fortified when the son of a Cuban immigant (1962) who fled Cuba's oppressive authoritarian rule, was fortunate enough to be raised here only to become a cheerleader for authoritarian practices and unlimited power for the president. It's embarrassing.
"Fortified?" Interesting choice of words. Are your referring to Miller, Acosta Marco Rubio, or someone else? Do you think that if Acosta has not made a spectacle of himself at this briefing that he would have rendered himself a cheerleader for tyranny? It would be interesting to see how you might try to prove that anyone, in the public spotlight, or here, is for unlimited power for the president
You've made it clear over a great many posts that you find a great many of your fellow Americans to be embarrassing. I'm pretty sure that none of them give a **** about your shinola or your chagrin.
