Trump Derangement Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Didn't watch it. I very rarely watch anything like that no matter who's in office. I doubt I'd be embarrassed, anyway, but if in the unlikely event I was embarrassed by whatever he said or did it would be offset by the pain and misery he is causing the left.

Not sure why that's so funny. The opposing sides thing has been done to death.

I thought Minhaj did a good job in a tricky situation. He even took on CNN. It was funny.

Without a video reference, I'm afraid I have no idea of what you're talking about.

On CNN: "Don, every time I watch your show, I feel like I'm watching a reality TV show. 'CNN Tonight' should just be called 'Wait a second! Now hold on! Stop yelling at each!' with Don Lemon."

On Afghanistan: "Historically, the president usually performs at the correspondents' dinner, but I think I speak for all of us when I say he's done far too much bombing this month."

On headlining the WHCA dinner: "I would say it is an honor to do this, but that would be an alternative fact. It is not. No one one wanted to do this so of course it falls in the hands of an immigrant. That's how it always goes down."

So are you guys not embarrassed by Trump's speech tonight at the Anti-White House Correspondents' Dinner?

Unfortunately not.

Because Trump degrades the office. He is childish, ill-informed, a liar, narcissistic, self-centered and embarrassing.

"I think Harper… can be vindictive, certainly not always grateful for what people have done for him in the past… So you can say he's ruthless, which is probably true…"
...
"All of the prime ministers we consider successful have some major accomplishment they can point to – Harper doesn't have that,” he explains. "His accomplishment first of all is winning power and staying in power..."
...
"There is something very Stalinesque about Harper," remarks Harris. "My bottom line on this guy is, he hates democracy. He doesn't care about truth and cares only about the perception of what benefits him."
...
"...given his longevity in power, and in regards to the fundamental things people grade a government on – such as the economy, democratic practices, the environment, corruption, foreign policy, culture, civil liberties – Harper's record might very well place him as the worst prime minister in Canadian history."
...
If there is one area in which Harper is particularly vulnerable, it’s the charge that he runs one of the most undemocratic regimes in Canadian history – and has undermined and abused democratic institutions and procedures at every turn. In fact, he is the only Canadian prime minister to be found in contempt of Parliament, which occurred in 2011 after his government refused to release costs on certain programs to opposition MPs.
...
A more recent example is Bill C-51, the government’s anti-terrorism legislation, which critics say will criminalize free speech and allow government agencies to widely share personal information without any regard to privacy, while giving CSIS, RCMP and CSEC freer range to spy on whomever they choose. The law also allows these agencies to hold people up to a week in “preventative detention."
...
Democracy Watch released its annual report card on the government’s performance, giving it an “F” on accountability and democratic reform. “The secret unethical lobbying, excessive secrecy, conflict of interest, and donations scandals in 2013, and the broken promises… make it clear that another Accountability Act is needed to close dozens of loopholes and clean up the federal government,” Conacher said at the time.
...
For many political observers, one of the most alarming changes Harper has ushered in is not even legislative: it’s the way in which political discourse is conducted. “They have a clear policy of dishonest spin on almost everything,” says Conacher. “They’ve done that far more than any other government in the last 25 years, which is to lie and stick to the lie.”
...
He is the first prime minister who is a marketer, an aluminum siding salesman. He is not a truth teller.”
...
After Harper was elected, another 400,000 manufacturing jobs vanished...

It's still too early to see if his actions have any positive effect.

So, what do you get every time you put the U.S. president (or, any other of the administration), down----does it make you feel better about yourself?

Oh, so then you start all these negative threads / make all these negative posts, for the attention (to see your name in lights, so-to-speak).

It's a shame Canada has never had a prime minister who was seen, by many, as bad----cuz, then, maybe, you would know how we feel about the world putting-down OUR president:
Is Harper the Worst Prime Minister in History?

Yes, so pick on some other country's leader / administration, for awhile, and give us USAans a break, please.
