[QUOTE=Chonch;52537512]Of course! These politicians, all they do is grandstand and read prepared statements all day for the attention of the press. Why [I]wouldn't[/I] their private conversations be this disjointed and uncouth? It's humanizing, and makes for a great read.[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm sure Trump is only nonsensical in private because he puts so much energy into appearing calm and collected in public
[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;52538520]Who the hell does Trump know from Australia? Like I can't see him ever wanting to go there of his own accord for any reason.[/QUOTE] The better question is, who the hell from Australia knows trump? OR more importantly, who would ever want to have anything to do with the man apart from stringing him for all he's worth?

I try bringing up how ridiculous Trump sounds and acts to my father, an avid Republican and Trump supporter, and he just keeps saying how he's a "brilliant and calculating man". I say how awful his 'deals' are and he counters with "but Iran deal bad". I say they've already got a grand jury up and ready on the investigation and he's just like "happens all the time, even to Bush, Clinton and Obama." My father is a very intelligent man, so it really hurts to see him worship and justify Trump's insanity.

One type is self-reflection and examination of one's own opinions and beliefs to resolve cognitive dissonance and make sure your beliefs are based in reality. I've never met or seen a Trump supporter with that kind of intelligence. All of the Trump supporters I've met use intellectual structures as a tool to back up beliefs spawned from emotion, and not as something that helps you develop your beliefs in the first place. You see this for anyone who uses lots of logically fallacious arguments to back up their opinions.

And they're stuck in this strange mental state where they're unable to step back and examine their mistakes or faults, and they feel like they're the top shit. Its a problem of being self aware and not realizing how ridiculous you sound and etc.
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;52539062]It just reminds me of people that cant accept they could actually be wrong, trying to rationalize it anyway they can. [B]Fox News[/B] and other misinformation helps them do this.[/QUOTE] How'd you know his favorite news station? :hammered:
I don't know how Trump can possibly be more uncouth and disjointed than he is during basically any speech he makes [editline]4th August 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Chonch;52537512]Of course! These politicians, all they do is grandstand and read prepared statements all day for the attention of the press. Why [I]wouldn't[/I] their private conversations be this disjointed and uncouth? It's humanizing, and makes for a great read. As for your first question, I believe Turnbull's 2k refugees have already come over, and the Wall is being held up by Congressional procedure, as it should be. The concerns expressed by the President over those two big points just don't seem so relevant in light of these developments.[/QUOTE] Like if these private comments are uncouth what do you think of his prepared speeches.
Sessions is now looking into ways to jail journalists who won't give up anonymous sources. :bullshit:
[QUOTE=AmberFox;52537996]I guess we must be a bit more [I]democratic[/I] then?First of all we shouldn't pay attention to content of those transcripts because it was in Russia\China interests to leak them so even if he is a criminal or incompetent we should impose sanctions on Russia\China for "transcript hacking".Secondly we should wait for Fox news reaction ,because only they can read those secret transcripts?Also can we see more transcripts of his talks with Russia for example and other countries because it's not a threat to the US at all?[/QUOTE] First of all, people definitely did not ignore the Clinton emails. I don't know what you're on about with the whole 'we shouldn't pay attention' thing. People paid a lot of attention to them. Secondly, there is a reasonable difference between someone working within an organisation leaking information about that organisation and a foreign entity performing cyber attacks in an attempt to get disparaging information on them to bolster support for someone else who may or may not be working with them.
