Fox & Friends interview

Can you fucking imagine if any other President or political figure openly shat on our military's competence?

Anthony Scaramucci may have said the dumbest thing yet in this administration's infancy:

"It's not yet clear who the #JCC offenders are. Don't forget @TheDemocrats effort to incite violence at Trump rallies."

Linked to the tweet is a Breitbart article about the Project Veritas shitvid.

it's just signalling to the base that it's actually leftists doing this; just the newest talking point. i'm not going to go on the site but i would assume there is or will be a false flag article from infowars. heck, one or two of the calls may actually have been from a copycat that goes to one of the JCCs and that'll be found out and pointed to.

It wasn't so much an outright blame as it was 'they already wanted to do this. we have the best generals. general mattis said it was a great success! i saw the casket. it was sad'

I think he was trying to say that doesn't allow you to be pissed of about it, but he was very drunk.

i read it as him initially blaming Obama (already a debunked claim among sane people), then saying the generals convinced him, and finally saying it actually even worked. classic con man, constantly bobbing and weaving and avoiding any blame.

i'd say i'm reading into but this has been a common pattern from the man for our entire lifetime.

Trump wanted to make a big military splash right away. It failed, 1 American dead, 6 wounded, 25 civilians dead, $75MM piece of equipment scuttled. He never, ever admits he was wrong, so he just claims success -- how is the public going to know what intel they really did or didn't get -- and moves on. Casualties are collateral damage to his ego.

are you on FB? I want to post that (with more content referencing the 6 gazillion BENGHAZI investigations) and want to give credit where its due....

Sweet Methuselah, what a farking mess.

"My generals are the most respected, most respected in many decades" & what did he have to do with them?

I could not follow the whole thing about McCain.

It was good to hear the context of the Obama thing. Fox spoon fed it to him. Who's bad idea was that? Fox or a softball to Trump?

So the triple speak is just exhausting. Blame everywhere but in the chair of the accountable.

the maroons up thread are bemoaning me for thinking a guy that blatantly lied to get into a trillion dollar, ISIS vacuum creating, million civilian killing war isn't a horrible figure in history. what privilege.

You had a Brit and a Libertarian say you're wrong, that's it. You like to blow up problems and dissenters. Everyone else either agreed, or questioned the degree (greatest vs regular ol'). Pac didn't take a stance on his monster-ocity, but bemoaned his failings.

Seems like a fairly context-less response by you, no? There's been a fair amount of positive press about him over the last few days. What people on here think about him is largely immaterial, but the first two people who responded to me told me I was wrong, so maroons plural in the tradition of the great Bugs Bunny is fine.

The Buck Stops. . . ummm . . . over there! See those guys? No, no. The ones over there! Bad hombres. Believe me. #sad

So PA AG Shapiro was amont several state AGs who met with Trump this morning, according to Anna Orso (a reporter for BillyPenn.com, whatever that is), Shapiro told her that he brought up the JCC bomb threats and cemetery desecration, Trump said he would address that tonight, Trump also indicated that the threats may have come from "the reverse" or "to make others look bad", Shapiro said that Trump stopped short of saying his supporters are being framed, but seems to think that's what POTUS meant.

Let's definitely err on that side
