From what I saw on the live feed, it was bizarre.  There was some representative there, supposedly from an accounting team, that talked to how Trump was going to remove any conflicts of interest as far as his business goes, all the while spouting off "Make America Great Again" bullshit. 

 

The less said about the "Q&A", the better.  In short, he didn't answer any question directly and the press didn't call him on it.  

 

The whole thing was just silly. He was a buffoon, there was a cheering section, he went off on CNN's Jim Acosta, calling him fake news but let Breibart get a question in....t5his is just ignorance on many levels. 

It's gonna be a LONG four years.

 

There were times that there were reporters that got pushy and wannabe-bombastic with Obama, he just handled it a whole lot better by taking quiet command without belittling or threatening anyone.

 

In fact, I've never seen someone handle themselves as poorly as Trump handled this PC and that includes Donald Rumsfeld, who I thought was pretty contentious with the media. 

 

Just a poor representation by someone who will be in such a high position.

Agreed, my friend.  The cheering section in particular was a WTF moment for me.  I couldn't believe it.  Of course, Trump acted like an incompetent petulant child.

He is an embarrassment.  It's scary that this man is the leader of the free world.

 

 

On a different note, Rubio impressed me with his questioning of Tillerson during the confirmation hearings today.  I still can't stand his hypocrisy, but at least he's not blindly towing the Republican line.

I'm glad you mentioned Rumsfeld because that's what that PC reminded me of.

 You know how bad he is when the President of Mexico says he can't take him seriously

 

 

Ouch.

Rubio just got re-elected for a 6 year term. He's betting that Sunkist Stalin will be impeached or dead by the time he's on the ballot again.

True, he's an opportunist.  I voted for Murphy.  

 

Sunkist Stalin

IKR?  But he speaks the truth.  No one will take Trump (or the U.S.) seriously for as long as he is in office; and Vladimir Putin, for one, is pleased about that.

 

At this point, I'm just praying that God keeps up safe for the next four years.  So much discord and peril awaits us, and it's likely that whatever Trump does or doesn't do, it'll take the next several presidents to fix it.  But as long as it doesn't end in a nuclear blast, then we'll be alright...I hope.

Wasn't Shepard on CNN before joining Fox?

 

The whole news conference was a ring circus with reporters cheering and yelling to be called on......LOL

Same here.  It's honestly terrifying to think of what is possible with Trump's unbalanced ass in the Oval Office for the next four years.  

 

For the life of me I still can't wrap my head around how he was elected.  I'm still super fuckin pissed about it.  Grrrr.  (Sorry for the outburst)

Yep. I mean obviously TIllerson's nomination is an indirect help to Russia. Exxon Mobil can't drill in Russia now hindering them due to sanctions against them. But I honestly believe Putin's main objective was to help get that buffoon into the Whitehouse to cause the US to lose stature and credibility around the world and to hinder democracy and other democracies. I don't think there is any kind of desire for world domination. Russia is not Nazi Germany and their economy is barely the size of Italy.

So many are leaving Fox News Channel these days that it's not inconceivable that maybe someone else would defect. Or is it only women? Will the network have any women left soon?
