You lost them.
Valefor.Sehachan said: » You lost them. You're not supposed to kill the bet before anyone accepts! At any rate, maybe you and Shi can now debate his effectiveness since there seems to be a disagreement.

Bahamut.Ravael said: » This is probably one of the most pointless conversations we've had in a long time. The media and the government lie. They lie on a regular basis. This is true now, this was true under Obama, and this was true as long as we've all been alive. However, we are in less danger of "1984" conditions now than we were when the media was under the thumb of the Commander in Chief. I already commented the subject, as of now I don't have anything in particular to add. But stay tuned for more posts.

Why would you support him for doing something you criticize others doing? Ragnarok.Nausi said: » Hey when the media treats him fairly and he puts out thought control, then I'll pile on with the rest of you. Otherwise you're just piling onto the idea that he shouldnt defend himself against a media assault. Why lie about something as stupid as this in the first place?

I'm wondering what the Secret Service is going to do with Madonna saying that she's thought about blowing up the White House. Probably nothing, but wow were those speeches given by her and Ashley Judd beyond stupid.

I read that she was being investigated this morning. Not that she probably has made real plans but anyway.

Probably nothing, but wow were those speeches given by her and Ashley Judd beyond stupid. They'll look into it. They don't take that ***lightly. Ever. I strongly advise you never to joke about any sort of violent act against the president or associated people. They do not *** around. Even a little bit. Now, chances are it will be investigated and summarily dismissed because hyperbole (it isn't just an excuse for Donald). But the fact remains it almost certainly will be looked into and they'll be reminded not to say that ***again.

And it's not like it wouldn't be a remote possibility.
Let us not forget that Janis Joplin supposedly made the punch at a White House ball pretty trippy.

Ramyrez said: » And it's not like it wouldn't be a remote possibility. My bad. It was Grace Slick, not Janis Joplin. And she was going to do it, but security actually caught on and wouldn't let her attend despite the invitation because she was a "security risk." Those damn dangerous hippies! Let's be honest I would be shocked if Madonna can tie her own shoes...let alone figure out how to use explosives.
Valefor.Sehachan said: » I read that she was being investigated this morning. Not that she probably has made real plans but anyway. Well yeah, I wouldn't think she'd go through with it any more than I think anyone's actually going to move to Canada that promised to. I think it boils down to creating a precedent where people can get away with those types of threats, especially at a protest event with a lot of angry people in the crowd.

Ohh just imagine if someone said that with Obama in office. BREAKING NEWS

The portion of the press briefing Q&A this afternoon that focused on the crowd size issue that came up this weekend, for those that missed it:
YouTube Video Placeholder He's president now and needs to learn to better pick and choose his battles, but it's not difficult to understand where they're coming from. Let's not forget that Trump has no prior political experience and hopefully won't ever fall in line to be like every other politician. That was one of his most appealing qualities, after all.

In other media facts I don't like, trump removes MLK bust in the office!

Rather than showing... again... how you completely missed the point, I'll respond with some dictionary definitions that should help you understand. U: abbreviation for (Telecommunications) text messaging you Mad: In conversation, mad is sometimes used to mean 'angry'. If you are mad at someone, you are angry with them. Bro: Friend; pal. Used as a form of familiar address for a man or boy: So long, bro. Question Mark: A punctuation symbol (?) written at the end of a sentence or phrase to indicate a direct question. Also called interrogation point.
