Most of us remember when Hambone the gorilla was shot when a kid fell in his cage. Trump said he would have blasted him. This might explain why he is addicted to watching the Gorilla Channel. It has been reported that Trump has a strong relationship now with evangelicals, and is a more thoughtful and compassionate man. I suspect he is remorseful of saying blast the damn critter, and now is trying to psychologically make amends. I just read he locks himself in his room and eats cheeseburgers. Won't let Melania in. I hope the Gorilla watching is not morphing into a perversion. If so, don't let him watch the Baboon Channel.

Where is the Gorilla channel located?, I would like to watch it

The gorilla channel thing was a parody post

Apparently there is a spirited crusaude by conservatives to discredit Wollfy. I am not certain about where the Gorilla Channel is located. Maybe some zoo feed. I suggest CSPAN might be a good substitute.
-
I thought the Gorilla thing was hilarious. Just like the excerpts that have been posted from the book.

From the article:
"I am not even talking about Russian rumor mills peddling bombastic stories to impressionable social media users. I'm talking about a growing problem I've noticed on the left side of the political spectrum: believing the absolute worst about Trump and those around him with no evidence whatsoever.
Many have been so inundated with daily almost-unbelievable acts by Trump that they are now inclined to believe whatever negative thing about his administration they hear. Adding to that, the desire to believe every incendiary thing about our president has evolved into a comforting dopamine rush, even when it's based on nothing."

Seems pretty similar to K-S-U-Dubz types believing Seth Rich was murdered by Hillary :dunno:

After the second debate, Trump's buddy Nigel Farage called Don a bignore Alpha Male gorilla. So maybe he watches gorilla shows. The Clinton’s were always doing crap and the media covered for them.

I don’t believe that. I think that’s a pretty fringe theory on the right. By contrast, the DC federal workforce is lining up to buy this book in droves. It’s political pornography. 50 Shades for liberal Trump haters. This kind of garbage only enables their hysteria.

Have you considered that maybe the reason it’s selling so well is because it’s exposing a president who has one of the lowest approval ratings in American history, and that even if only 25% of the details about him being a rough ridin' idiot are true, it still proves how dangerously unequipped he is to hold the highest office in the land? :dunno:
-
the fact that somebody who trump's people are currently calling a hack was allowed free reign to the white house and the staff is incredible on it's own. then the fact that he put pen to paper on everything he saw and heard just adds to it.
-
I mean, I haven't read it. but I know who wrote it and how they got access. I'm guessing most people disparaging the book haven't read it either but are just playing my team v. their team (including trump).

This book isn’t “exposing” anything. It is re-affirming what Trump haters already believed about Trump, and I can guarantee you only Trump haters are buying it. Wolff is simply feeding more crazy to the crazy. What if only 25% is true?! That means 75% is false. In all likelihood, some of anecdotes in the book are true, some are grossly exaggerated, and some are outright false, and nobody knows which is which, which makes the whole thing a trashy fabrication. So if this book gives you your Trump derangement fix, by all means, snort it up.
But if you honestly believe Donald Trump is an idiot, what does that make you? This man has built a real estate and media empire and been elected President of the United States. He has amassed more fame, fortune, and power than you will ever sniff. But call him an idiot.

Anyway, couldn’t avoid making that observation, but it’s New Year’s Eve and I don’t really feel like playing whack-a-mole today. In fact, I think I’m going to take a little time off from this stuff. I sincerely wish every one of you a happy and prosperous 2018!!

Wolffy opined that weird Donny is afraid of germs or getting poisoned, so he eats food from McDonald's, this is more nutty than Gorillas or going to bed at 6:30. I would like to know what the White House is like now after canning Bannon.

Poor little crazies. The great KGB Konspiracy just hasn’t panned out. Remember the “emoluments” argument? Pfffft. So now we’re down to “he’s crazy! 25th Amendment!!!” It’s sad, really, how desperately deranged the Trump haters have become.
-
yeah bugging out about the president's mental health is lol. I think he is just the right amount of insecure
-

Trump was always insecure. He has a massively huge ego and a super thin skin. It's sometimes annoying to me that he constantly feels the need to combat every slight, both real and perceived (his recent threat to sue Wolff being a perfect example).
But two things in his defense. First, I guess he's doing something right because he did win the presidency, so who the hell am I - or anyone else who hasn't achieved what he has - to tell him it's not working?
Second, I think if any of us were in his (admittedly small) shoes, we'd be more than a little pissed off that the entire liberal media and beltway swamp political machine has been attempting to delegitimize this presidency since Hour 1. The Russian COLUSION fantasies, constant leaks and open defiance from the federal bureaucracy, journalists engaging in a steady drumbeat of negative news so as not to "normalize" this presidency. No president in the history of the United States - not even Reagan or GWB - has ever faced this kind of onslaught.
-
Yup, it's just the liberal media's fault that trump is a big dumb dummy
-
It is pretty amazing coming to the defense of him. It's like ksu-dub is trying to figure out why people can't seems to get off trump's case while trump himself willfully does this all to himself. It's wacky-esque (some offense to wacky but with all due respect).
Also funny how like pretty much everything offered as said defense is like happening right in front of him. It's like questioning whether or not the sky is in fact, actually blue, or that we indeed, are at war with Eastasia, instead of Eurasia.
-
I said it a lot pre-election but there is a massive right wing base that formed into a line behind trump the second he won the nomination and will defend and deflect for him no matter what he does. it's ingrained in their "my team v. your team" consciousness. there is the same thing on the left. both of those contingents are blind to it for the most part so pointing it out doesn't do a lot of good except to laugh at it with your moderate buds.
-
i'm generally right leaning, but put me in the camp that says trump is actually stupid. he may know real estate investment and self-marketing well, but he's otherwise a dumb emotional man.

Have you listened to or read any of the stuff the dilbert creator put out about trump? His emotional intelligence and ability to manipulate is very very high.

I must have missed that.

If anyone here is suggesting that I have blindly lined up behind Trump, you haven’t read many of my posts. I have frequently pointed out his faults and mistakes. I am also objective enough to acknowledge that he is not a “stupid” or “crazy” man. If you think Obama was “smarter” than Trump, how are you measuring smart? Just a few examples...
Which president shut down a task force targeting Hezbollah’s narcotics ring and flew pallets of cash (nearly 2 billion) to the Mullahs to protect a “deal” with Iran that will only facilitate their development of nuclear weapons in the long run?
Was it “smart” to unilaterally withdraw European missle installations as part of a Russian “reset”?
Was Obamacare a “smart” decision?
Was it “smart” to dither for years as ISIS seizes territory and expanded its caliphate?
Was it “smart” to conclude that our economy really couldn’t do any better than it did under Obama’s regime of heavy taxation and regulation?
Was it “smart” to unwind due process for those accused of sexual assault on college campuses?
Was it “smart” to enter into a series of agreements committing to severely reduce CO2 emissions (and associated economic productivity) while not requiring the same commitments from our partners?
Now, Obama might very well do better than Trump on Jeopardy. I think I would probably do better than Trump (or Obama) on Jeopardy. But I didn’t elect a president to be trivia champ. Or because he was “a constitutional law professor” (Obama was nothing of the sort, btw). I elected a dude to get results. And Trump is getting results, at least to an extent.

Trump's only positive result so far is managing to get a tax cut through a republican-controlled house and senate. He wasn't even able to get people who have campaigned on repealing Obamacare for nearly a decade to vote for a repeal.

good example ksu-dub

The tax cuts were the big legislative accomplishment, and I agree that one of Trump's biggest failings is not getting more done legislatively because he neglected to lead the Congress. But I can still list a few other accomplishments, and have in the 2017 thread....
1. Stock market, already performing strongly under Obama, went absolutely bananas under President Business, jumping about 6,000 points (over 25%) in one year! Amazing for retirement and college savings accounts and other investments.
2. About 2 million new jobs created and unemployment down to 4%. Labor Force Participation Rate is slowly eking back up after decades of decline.
3. GDP now growing at 3% and likely to go higher?!
4. By most estimates, illegal immigration has dropped by at least 50%. And this without the wall (speaking of which, the prototypes look damned sexy).
5. Papa Trump delivers a massive tax cut to the Dub family, and for the vast majority of Americans. Also slashes corporate tax rate and the rest of the world is now concerned about America's "unfair advantage."
6. We have an unabashedly America First president in the WH.
7. Scott Pruitt heads the EPA. The world hasn't ended. The Man-made Global Warming Catastrophe is still a sham. We withdraw from the absurd Paris Agreement.
8. Energy exports at an all time high. ANWR (a small slice, at least) open for drilling. Oil prices continue to be quite reasonable.
9. ISIS is in shambles.
10. On the education front, Betsy Devos is rolling back the Obama admin's absurd Title IX sexual assault kangaroo court and co-ed locker room guidances.
11. We've finally moved our Israeli embassy to what everyone knows is Israel's capital. The UN condemns. We slash nearly $300 million in funding to the UN.
12. We're starting to see how truly lucky we are to have dodged the Hillary bullet, with all her Russian COLUSION on Uranium One and the Trump dossier peddling.
13. Gorsuch!! Trump’s addition of textualists like Gorsuch and others to the federal bench may hinder liberal (and some conservative) aims, but it is good for the rule of law. I could not have asked for a better replacement for Scalia. Scary to think we close that seat was to flipping to another liberal ideologue.
-
Or because he was “a constitutional law professor” (Obama was nothing of the sort, btw).
Hm...
From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.
:dunno:
I'm not saying Ken Jennings needs to be in the white house. I'm saying that if the president has an aversion to learning or reading, that makes him stupid, and is bad.

Obama was a political hack teaching politics in a law school classroom (to be fair, not unlike many "law professors" in today's law schools). And NYT basically agrees (though in glowing prose). http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/us/politics/30law.html (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/30/us/politics/30law.html)
The only point I was making is to list "constitutional law professor" as among Obama's bona fides is something of a joke. To this day, I believe he remains the only President of the Harvard Law Review without a single piece of published scholarship.
This is getting pretty off topic so I'll leave it there.

Naw, keep going man lol

Everything always evolves back to something about Obama or Hillary, it’s pretty incredible.

Lol at dub pulling out his bullshit list that everyone decimated from weeks ago.

CBS Morning News interviewed Wolffy this morning. The following is an account. Note he kind admits Bannon was his main source. Note is running now behind Trump with pursed lips trying to kiss the Don's butt. I watched the interview, and Wollfy admitted since Kelly came the White House is stable. I think Trump is smart enough to have smart people around him unlike Obama's hacks.
""It does also read like your main source is Steve Bannon. Would that be correct to say that?" asked co-host Norah O'Donnell.
"It would be not correct," Wolff replied. "He's a very large source here, but there are many, many, many [sources.]"

Also, lololololol at the implication that professors have tons of photos of themselves teaching, or that they're somehow supposed to in order to be legitimized as a professor.

If you honestly believe Barack Obama is a hack, what does that make you? This man has been the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was a constitutional law professor for over a decade, and been elected President of the United States. Twice. He has amassed more fame, fortune, and power than you will ever sniff. But call him a hack.
See, that’s cute. Except that “hack” doesn’t meant idiot or crazy. Obama is neither of those things - just a marvelous politician. The same can be said for Trump.
-
See, it's cute that you think people who accomplish everything I mentioned could possibly be seen as a hack, be it legally or politically.
