babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
45th President of the United States of America
January 24, 2017 - 9:47pm
!!!
Why?
The entire regime does not care about what the opposition thinks.
I will say that so long as Trump supporters like him he will stay.
Look at the lies eeryone else can see through. They are not trying to convince anyone else. So long as the people who voted Trump want to beleive the lies they will and so long as they do for this regime that is all that matters.
To think otherwise is to live back in the days when truth matter in the United States.
Trump is a religion It is not about fact, logic, or science. It is belief in their saviour. So long as that holds up the play is for those people not for the rest. The others can believe what they want -- they will only get bullying not any attempt at convincing. It is time people understood this becuase you cannot even start to come up with a response if you do not understand what you are looking at.

ETA: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The difficult thing though is he lies becuase he can. The people who follow him are either okay with the lies as strategy or they believe them. Either way he can.
Boo Hoo! So he frigin' lies. He just happens to be President now and probably will be there for 8 years. And he is President because he promised jobs!!! Either you want to win the election or you don't. The right-wing do want to win, and are focused on that, and realize that winning is everything.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To address the question above more directly, I don't see Spicer lasting too long, because he's going to be undermined from within the west wing by vultures with thier eye on his job. Being the voice of Trump (I'm reminded here of the mouth of Sauron from TLOTR but Sauron was cooler) is to be precariously employed.
This sounds more and more like an endorsement and excuses, rationalisations.
Let me be blunt: I don't want to win an election if it means promising to destroy the country and then keeping that promise.
The right do not think winning is everything -- nor do I. They have an agenda and I oppose it. If you think winning and not the agenda is the point then you are in the minority and not just here.
Frankly I care little about promises from a liar. I am more interested in what they will actually do. It will be interesting to see North Report 3.0 once Trump delivers the business agenda and the jobs are not there.
I do have another friend who swallowed Trump and bought the BS. That person also used to be left and now has tilted right -- so much so that there is no longer a belief in climate science. This propaganda from Trump is very powerful and pulling people who used to be capable of recognizing BS.
Trumps promises for workers includes jobs but his plans lead to misery, lower pay, fewer benefits, and in the end no more jobs.
North Report it is time you read past the headline.
I had not thought so much of those wanting his job. I wonder how many actually will as it is uncomfortable. Anyone near a person like Trump is not secure. At least he is less of a threat to people close to him as Stalin and Hitler were.
But the lies themselves or embarassment are not the problem which was the point I was making. This entire "movement" has no shame and no requirement for truth.
Thanks for showing your true colours. This is not a right wing board and endorsing fascism should get you banned. Yay,he ended TPP but he's also threatened a US city with martial law,increased taxes on the lower and middle class,oppressed the press and used executive order to destroy a woman's right to choose. Nevermind his 'alternative facts'. Yeah,he lies.And that is a big fucking deal.
In some cities that would make an improvement (and them safer) right about now.
And you get to show your colours as well
huh. you go straight to fascism for making people allegedly safe.
how about telling police to stop shooting black people for no reason?
how about you support endeavours to keep the 1% from stealing from the world's workers and resources?

how do you come to these 2 opposite conclusions in 2 separate back to back posts dated 1 day apart???????? # 23 #24
It will be four weeks tomorrow, since he was inaugurated.
Lemme guess: you were already thinking the same thing three weeks ago.
They've squandered the first four weeks, but there's still 204 weeks left for them to get their candidate in the public's face. It's a tight deadline, for sure, but they could still pull it off.
