Trump defends Cohen, says he won't 'flip'

Risky Thicket said:
I love it! President Stable Genius declares that Cohen won't flip. :lamo How would Cohen flip if he had nothing to flipping say about Donald Trump, aka David Dennison aka John Barron? How completely hosed up can one human be? Grab a clue, Donnie. Jesus!

Earth to President Stable Genius: If there is nothing to tell Cohen can't tell it! However, your insistence that Cohen won't flip is a message to the world that Cohen knows about your sordid past covering more than a decade. :roll:

Yeah but there's "No Collusion" "No Crime". If you aren't guilty, please stop acting like it.

There was an immediate walk back of claiming the “flip” would be lies. Yeah, his lawyers desperately want control over his twitter account.

A question of interesting significance.

Or possibly Mr. Trump is merely positioning himself so that he can announde that anything that Mr. Cohen does say that it detrimental to Mr. Trump is "Fake News"

What a country we've become. For all the support Obama got from his voters, when he screwed up, at the very least SOME, nay PLENTY, would call him on it. For all the support MANY presidents have gotten, when they've committed a blunder, I can recall times when even their hardcore fans would shake their heads in disbelief, knowing that their hero had done something stupid, or just plain wrong.

A good many LBJ supporters were shocked at his announcement to "escalate the war" in Vietnam, lots of Bill Clinton supporters trashed him over his decision to bomb the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan, plenty of Carter fans were dismayed by his futile and underfunded attempts to mount a last minute poorly planned commando raid to rescue the 52 hostages in Iran, and Obama fans expressed outright anger and contempt for his failure to fight hard enough, or AT ALL, to defend a plan for a public option in healthcare reform negotiations.

But never in my life have I seen a president who has the power to dismiss even the existence of the Sun and Moon, even the sky itself, by barking "FAKE NEWS!" and then being able to count on literally MILLIONS to echo it almost in unison.
This is beyond a reality distortion field, it is the entire and whole construction of literally any reality that issues from Trump's mouth as he speaks it.

That's not a testament to Trump's power, it's a marker to indicate the level of gullibility to which millions in American society have sunk.
This is the very thing that tells most rational people, liberal or conservative, that we're ripe for an authoritarian dictatorship.

In President Stable Genius' world if you say it, it becomes true. In his world it works with everything. "No collusion, no crime."

Somehow he still acts guilty, doesn't he?

Say the magic words, Donnie, and make everything come true, Donnie! All you have to do is believe. :roll:

 
When the DPRK government informs North Korean people that Kim Jong Un is so perfect that he doesn't even need to defecate, they believe it wholeheartedly. When they say that he shot his first golf game at age seven with a score of 62, they believe it. When they say that he emerged fully formed from the womb, speaking seven languages and doing advanced calculus, they believe it.

This is the level to which hardcore Trump supporters have sunk.
The difference is, Kim Jong Un is probably better educated.
Most nine year olds are better educated than Donald J. Trump. They certainly possess more intellectual curiosity.

That's rich coming from Fox/Breitbart fans.

Try reading Senator Jeff Flake's new book. Great perspective. But I"m betting you will say he's nothing but a RINO.

More than a few outside observers (especially those who admire "The American Dream" and "The American Ideal") are starting to wonder if the US isn't in the process of imploding because around 40% of its population IS NOT going to support the American government REGARDLESS of what the American government does AND also because around 40% of its population IS going to support the American government (also) REGARDLESS of what the American government does.

Considering that, at the time of the American Revolution, approximately 30% of the people in the American colonies DID support the legal governments (if push came to shove) and approximately 30% of the people in the American colonies DID NOT support the legal governments ([again] if push came to shove) while around 40% of the people in the American colonies simply wished that both the "Patriots" and the "Loyalists" would get off their backs and leave them alone, it doesn't appear to be totally outside the bounds of probability for there to be a "Second American Revolution". [NOTE - Just because something is NOT "totally outside the bounds of probability" that doesn't mean that it is going to happen next week (or at all).]

At that time we were extricating ourselves out from under a monarchical dictatorship.
This time, the dictatorship is coming from within.

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." ---Sinclair Lewis

The only bright spot in all of this comes to me from a Winston Churchill, who said:

"The Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other options."

I don't think the shame is in "hating" an immoral man who absolutely deserves the criticism he receives from the Left, GOP politicians, right-wing talking heads like Coulter and Limbaugh, his own Cabinet members, FBI and CIA members, enemy and allied international leaders across the political spectrum, and the vast majority of the media.

The shame belongs to bitter and resentful Conservatives who continue to willingly betray what they used to stand for in order to lap up whatever immature and moronic thing he presents. And they do it all merely in the name of an irrational hate for liberals.

I see Trump as an immoral human being with no integrity, who makes bad foreign and domestic policy.

- Conservatives historically bashed the left for "not supporting the Troop" and then cheered for a silver-spooned elite who denigrated American POWs.
- Conservatives held Swaggart, Bakker, and Clinton accountable for their adultery and sexual misconduct, and then cheered for a man who declared his joy for adultery.
- Conservatives worked with Liberals to fix the hole in the Ozone, then turned around and declared Global Warming a hoax.
- Conservatives criticized Liberals over the idea of healthier school lunches and declared tomato paste a vegetable in irrational defiance.
- Conservatives placed themselves next to supremacists to gleefully chant for Trump as he denigrated women and the handicapped.
- Conservatives offered their allegiance to Roy Moore because criticizing him would mean having to be a hypocrite over Trump.
- Conservatives built an irrational base of continual idiocy over a birth certificate.
- Conservatives built a base of continual idiocy over Benghazi dreams and fantasies. And whatever happened over all that Benghazi whining anyway?

Of course, this is generally speaking. Plenty of Conservatives didn't lose their heads throughout the Obama years as Fox News encouraged irrationality. But the record is clear enough. So I appreciate that you like to think that it is the Left who have been irrational, but the fact of the reality is that it is the Right who have shoved their heads straight up their asses and have betrayed themselves. They sacrificed who they used to claim to be over an irrational hatred and resentment for "liberals" and over a bitterness that their ideologies, one after another, have recently been exposed as false. And I appreciate that you like to think that Trump criticism is merely a "Left" thing, but the reality is that Trump is constantly criticized by members across the spectrum. I mean, Fox News anchors and commentators have actually quit because of the irrationality of Trump worship that Fox News exhales. It's only his fan club who refuse to see that he absolutely deserves the criticism he receives. And they refuse because if he deserves it, it means that they deserve it too.

And I believe the kicker here is that it was a very large number of Democrats who preferred Bernie Sanders in the Primaries; and it was Democrats in key areas who actively abstained from voting in the General because they couldn't stomach Hillary Clinton. So...who really stayed more true to themselves in 2016 and continue to stay true to themselves now? Who was and is really the irrational? No, years of built up irrational hatred is why Trump is President; and now represents an alarming number of so-called Conservatives. But definitions do change.

No, its general nonsense. You have no idea what conservatives believe and your post is proof of that. I appreciate the effort you put into this post but since there is so much wrong about it, it is easier to simply reject it in its entirety than to go through it point by point. Blasting conservatives for Trumps election is simply ignoring the fact that Trump won because he carried traditional democrat states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It was working class democrat districts that were ignored by Clinton and the left that swung the election to Trump. Clinton was so unpalatable to the right that many held their noses and voted for Trump. The 2016 election was between the two most unpopular candidates in history. But in the end a flawed Trump was far preferable to a corrupt Hillary and a hateful left. And Trump, despite his flaws, is still preferable to turning power over to dishonest, hateful, hive-minded, Borg statists like Pelosi and company.

That people on the right overlook Trumps human flaws is really a sign of the success the left has had over the years to making the immoral acceptable. You have defeated the religious right and the moral majority and Trump is your prize. Congratulations.

So once again, it isn't your fault?? The left made you vote for Trump?? WOW so much for personal responsibility. You can support this man that's cheated on 3 wives?? Yet hated Obama for Grey Poupon mustard and a tan suit. Way to rationalize. You want some Grey Poupon with that???

I think the president just inadvertently admitted there's something to hide. People don't talk about flipping if there is nothing to hide.

Great going Doofus.

Better that Trump doesn't tweet or even speak. You might want to consider the same advice.
