You're goddamned right it was amazing!

Trump kicked some ass in that press conference.

And those butt hurt shills that call themselves journalists had every bit of coming and then some.

Go Trump!

I watched it and if you had any doubts about Trump being a thin-skinned, delusional lunatic, this press conference should dispel any such doubts. A couple of finer points -

"My administration is running like a fine-tuned machine." (A manure-spreader, perhaps?)

On news reports about the Trump/Russia connection "The leaks are real, but the news is fake."

I couldn't agree with you less.

I guess that makes you a delusional lunatic too. Congratulations...or something.

Just what the fuck do you know about it besides what the never Trump media is putting out.

So, the Trump administration is running like a fine-tuned machine???

And how can leaks be true, but the news reporting of them fake?

Leaks are likely true. But, Flynn's problem as is often the case is that he covered it up. Why I don't know since there was nothing illegal or even out of the ordinary about it.

If it was a predominantly conservative press spoon feeding you then yes, it would be a well oiled machine.

It was illegal under the ages-old and never used Logan Act which likely wouldn't be used the first time for this (prosecutors only like to take slam dunks to trial). That notwithstanding, it definitely goes against the established standards of American governance that we only have one President at a time and Flynn was effectively telling Russia to ignore (Congressionally-supported) sanctions enacted that day (which they did a couple days later by not retaliating, to everyone's surprise at the time).

Flynn told FBI investigators what he told Pence (that he didn't discuss sanctions) and it appears he committed a felony. However, you can be sure that that little dweeb Sessions won't enforce this law either.

Is that why you buy Trumps lies? Because you spend too much time voluntarily being spoon-fed by the conservative press?

Tyrants always start by convincing the masses that the media does nothing but lie and spread information about the tyrant..........then he sets up his own propaganda machine. It's been done time and time again, throughout history. "My enemies all lie. Only I tell the truth."

Are you really so THICK that you can't see that that's what's going on?

A classmate of mine had a great comeback for that, "I am not as dumb as you look".

As for real leaks and fake news, the guy does not seem to be all there. I don't think he is simply lying and deflecting, it's the way his mind sees it.
