Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT. Good genes, very good genes, OK? Very smart: the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart. You know, if you’re a conservative Republican—if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican, they try—oh, do they do a number. That’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune. You know, I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged. But you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me: it would have been so easy—and it’s not as important as these lives are. Nuclear is so powerful. My uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power—and that was 35 years ago—he would explain the power of what’s going to happen, and he was right. Who would have thought? But when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners— now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three. And even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger: “Fellas,”—and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so you know it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so ... And they, they just killed, they just killed us.
- I wonder if he watches his speeches afterwards and thinks 'damn, that was so good, i'm so, like, eloquent and stuff'BuddhaHat

- Trump is the worst thing that could have happened for the alt right. Makes the whole movement seem clownish.inteliboy
- He's been a clown for decades. Most intelligent people knew this coming into it and still can't figure out how anyone is stupid enough to not realize it.monospaced
- funny the reporting didn't also include sniffs, coughs and background noise.omg
- Why because it is so factual?monospaced
- Like the alt-right 'movement' isn't already a fucking clowncar of gargantuan proportions, driven by stunted MRA and bitter WASPs.face_melter

Trump Lashes Out at New York Times Ad Set to Air on the Oscars Tonight
President calls Droga5 spot 'bad'
Trump appeared to be referring to “The Truth Is Hard,” a 30-second spot that will air tonight during the Academy Awards on ABC. (Fox & Friends Weekend showed the spot on Sunday morning, which may have been what prompted Trump’s tweet. CNN’s New Day also did a segment about the ad on Sunday morning.
With the tweet, Trump risks not only giving more exposure to the Times’ ad campaign, but also reinforcing its message—that independent journalism and a free press are indeed important, particularly when they’re under attack from the president himself. (Trump regularly labels the Times a “failing” organization, though this might be the first time he’s done so twice in one sentence.)

- This is not MTV. Nobody wants their PBS.omg
- Isn't that why we got internets?omg
- Only assholes and science denying, ignorant morons would claim that nobody wants PBS.monospaced
- I forget in between his sessions on QBN, he likes to watch Bob the Builder, Curious George, Sesame Street, and Cat in the Hat on his paid for cable television.omg
- are you referring to Nova, Nature, Masterpiece, TED, and the hundreds of science and historical documentaries on PBS?scarabin
- Congratulations on your 10th year + 1 week at Asshats Anonymous omg. You truly are a fucking asshat, and an ignorant motherfucker as well. Fuck you.BuddhaHat
- This is the same dumbshit who says its not free press if you pay for it. He also doesn't even realize pbs is totally free.monospaced
- LoL at thinking $445 Millions dollars of annual tax money spent on this is considered totally FREE.omg
- lol @ omgmoldero
- in canada, if our public media outlets weren't gov funded they wouldn't exist. there isn't be enough public demand for them to be self-sufficientGnash
- omg it's $1.37 per person and you can tune in without payingmonospaced
- all QBNrs love himmoldero
- i believe that is what omg is trying to say, if people had to pay to tune in then it wouldn't existGnash
- No he's not.monospaced
- I'm going to estimate only 25% of US citizens watch PBS. It's political leaning doesn't justify its cost or it's purpose.omg
- if PBS cannot sustain itself, we might have to rely on YouTube for public broadcasting.omg
- There PBS can continue curating content, and make money (or not) from advertisements without it affecting its "quality" controlled programming.omg
- are you suggesting PBS has some kind of leftist agenda?scarabin
- or are you just automatically defending anything remotely trump-relatedscarabin
- this has to be a new dumbass low for omg - so embarrassing - hang your head in shame dimwit.fadein11
- PBS is renowned for its leftist agenda for many years now. NPR admits its tax supported liberal bias and its Sesame Street spread of left wing propaganda.omg
- Dumb fuck. Did you just say that if PBS goes away we'd have to rely on public broadcasting? Idiot.monospaced
- omg, you clearly have no understanding, at all, about how PBS is funded. I bet idiots think that PBS will go away if the gov. doesn't add its funding. Morons.monospaced
- omg, taking away PBS funding would actually hurt trumps base the most. rural access to educational tv options in poor areas would be limitedGnash
- these kids would atrophy on a diet of power rangers instead of mr rogers neighbourhoodGnash
- it's really a tiny amount of fed money. there are better places to start cutting than thisGnash
- Many businesses maintain positive values growing culture and new businesses. PBS is like the 46 yr old kid still living in it's parents basement.omg
- ha - what like you?fadein11

https://www.youtube.…omg - I get what you're saying, omg. But look at "The Learning Channel, which was privatized in 1980. it features shows like, Toddlers & Tiaras.Gnash
- I understand a need, but it would be more educational to see PBS maintain their brand values while going after a better business model.omg
- well, speaking as a canuck well versed in public funding, you gotta take the shit with the good. society benefits more than it's losing by the fundingGnash
- i believe, anywayGnash
- wait ... wait ... omg ... what's wrong with the PBS "business model" and how are they not maintaining their brand values?monospaced
- @gnash. There's no questioning companies need funding, but It doesn't necessarily mean that funding needs to come from federal taxes to survive...omg
- @mono. i'm not saying anything is wrong, but lack of funding may compromise their brand values depending on how they do business to make up for lack of funding.omg
- i think much of PBS would survive without public funding, mostly because of the way they license shows.Gnash
- what wouldn't survive are the small local stations in rural, and poor, areas of the usGnash
- major cities would likely make up the shortfall through local sponsorship. again, the ones that lose are the less privilegedGnash
- The majority of PBS funding isn't coming from the government at all. It comes from donations, large and small. Gov. pulling funding is just being assholes.monospaced
- PBS prides itself on the good it does around the world, for education and science and knowledge. Cutting gov. funding is petty and would make an enemy of truth.monospaced
- @gnash - idk who those little guys were, but I think the internet will more than provide outlets for public broadcasting and making money doing it.omg
- @mono. I think 15% comes from federal funding. Pulling funds may be justified considering they're just throwing money into the wind, meanwhile people are dyingomg
- and back to square one: only science-denying, ignorant morons think gov. funding of PBS is throwing money to the wind.monospaced
- I"m talking about Devos, Trump and his supporters, like you.monospaced
- No science is being denied here. But if you want to bring in Devos, maybe PBS could get its funds from the educational budget.omg
- Yes, yes it is, but since you clearly have no idea what PBS actually does, I wouldn't expect you to know better. Devos is a fucking idiot, btw.monospaced

Financier Philip Bilden dropped his bid to become President Donald Trump's secretary of the Navy on Sunday, citing ethics requirements and the "undue disruption" the job would have caused to his family's private financial interests.
- Another one jump shipped on Trump, haha!utopian
- Just think...another Trump pick that never served a day in the Navy...fucking Helmet in Chiefutopian
- he simply didn't pass the financial audit.Gnash
- But Shouty Spice says he isn't leaving. Fake news?monospaced
- ^ that tweet was before the financial audit was complete. all he said Bilden 100% committed in the tweet -- why is that fake?Gnash
- your blinders are on too tightGnash
- I didn't say it was fake, I ASKED if it was. I don't wear blinders, btw. Either the guy quit, or he didn't. If he quit, he's clearly not 100% committed.monospaced
- Why didn't he pass the financial audit? Must be pretty swampy if can't get into the swampy swamp.fadein11
- Ah, so a swampy piece of shit was committed to joining the swamp. Surprise surprise for this fuck-show of a presidency.monospaced
- lot's of candidates, both liberal, repub and even nazi, don't pass all the financial criteria for public office.Gnash
- indeed - swampy people on all sides.fadein11
- I get what you're saying, omg. But look at "The Learning Channel, which was privatized in 1980. it features shows like, Toddlers & Tiaras.Gnash
- that doesn't really inspire confidenceGnash
- oops ^ meant for another thread. ughGnash
- So it was just coincidence the press reported this one guy was withdrawing then he does? Hmmmreanimate
- I imagine people that CBS talked to knew that he wasn't going to pass financialsGnash
- yes, hence "likely," which is factualmonospaced
- ugh, the inference was that Bilden is jumping ship. spicer responded appropriately, not "fake news"Gnash
- The report that he was "likely" to not pass was correct, though. Spicer's claim that the people reporting were wrong is ... wrong.monospaced

Hahaha ... Bush Jr talking sense? Say it ain't so!
‘We all need answers’ on Trump team’s Russia contacts: George W Bush
- Well I never thought I'd say it but Bush nailed it all there.fadein11
- I think he's a much, much saner and happier person, since retirement and taking up painting.Continuity
- Yep. I didn't know he was painting wounded veterans - probably working through some serious guilt.fadein11
- Interesting. The master at calling for action with zero evidence. I suspect this is the neo-con play to go after Trump, and the left will go right along with itIRNlun6
- How is it a neo-con play? It's just completely obvious common sense. Nothing clever/devious about it - just blatantly obvious.fadein11
- Neo-con play to push for an impeachment.IRNlun6
- Not only is there no evidence of Trump colluding with the Russian government, it also makes zero sense.IRNlun6
- I think the aim of the investigation is to see if there is no evidence. I do get you - I just don't see these comments as a clever powerplay - just common sensefadein11
- Bless, fadein, look at you! Trying to be all reasonable and everything with a Trump fanboy!Continuity
- They're already calling for a special prosecutor, with zero evidence of a crime.IRNlun6
- Fuckin Bush saying media held him accountable. One of the biggest failures in media history was not holding him to account during the run-up to the war in Iraq.IRNlun6
- Normally Bush Jr calling for something or supporting something should give people pause, not Continuity...IRNlun6
- Yep - Trump's fave media outlet Fox certainly did not hold him to account - but over here he certainly was.fadein11
- I should clarify, the ideologue left/Dems. There's still some that I hope would call for concrete evidence before taking additional measures.IRNlun6
