Asking why Trump kept the documents is a “gotcha” question? Your bar is set incredibly low.
Isn’t that something you would think people would want to know?
I think Trump’s answer was weak as hell, but at least we heard it. You don’t want to know that stuff?
Yeah, it is.
But it’s fun when you don’t like someone. I’ve had fat and ugly people I love, but I don’t make fun of them. But those I don’t like…easy.
Yes, it’s childish, but us on a forum or talking to our pals is not nearly as bad as certain famous businessmen politicos doing the same thing in public over a microphone.
Most real smile I’ve seen on him.
OK, Steer, maybe...
In the end, the country will get their information from these hyperbolic bloggers and not from their own eyes and ears. That is a bad and sad thing.

The American Media has brought this on itself.
Instead of being a neutral party, the New Left that materialized after the late 1960’s liberal cultural revolution, likes playing “gotcha” to Republicans candidates, while protecting their democrat buddies.
In this rigged media environment: Why even have a two party system?
I saw at least half of it. It was cringe-worthy. As a couple which has been with classified most of our adult lives, it begs all kinds of questions.
😜👍😉.....................................
That was my point. Trump will lose the general, doesn’t matter if it is rigged or clear.

We’ll see, only time will tell.
Your boy DeSantis is toast BTW.
I stopped finding that stuff funny a long, long time ago.
There are so many other things to poke fun at. For example, his hand holding with Obama right before the election. Bridgegate.
His eating disorder is way down on the list of things not to like about Chris Christie.
But...he knows Trump, and his role as a prosecutor dealing with White collar crime gives his some street cred when it comes to shitting on Trump.
As a former fat guy, I can tell you on a debate stage all Trump needs to do it make a single comment about Christie’s weight and Christie will eviscerate him—Christie has been rebutting fat jokes since puberty. Its cutting, second nature, and it would make Trump look like a 3rd grade bully.
Crybabies and losers say life isn’t fair." - Chris Christie, eleven seconds later.
Trump already won the 2024 debates — in November 2016.
BTTT
Go feed your face at buffet, you fat slob.
Chris “Harkonnen” Christie, “That floating fat man”.
Historically, the “neutral” media was only a thing from the Depression through the end of the Cold War.
What is missing is “investigative” journalism. The “Woodward/Bernstein” stuff (no matter what you think of it) cannot happen today because the newspaper staffs are too small and they need words from reporters every single day. Going off on an investigation and having to vet sources takes too much time, too many people, and too much money.
Even on a local level, in a mid sized city, the amount of corruption that goes un-investigated is scary high.
The networks are gutted and rely on the AP for their stories. The AP relies on Twitter. Network writers are kids who simply rewrite twitter feeds. The reporters on TV rarely, if ever, write their own stuff. All you need to do is watch them “shuck and jive” during an emergency and you can see their talent is reading—not reporting.
When you see “Twitter” or “Truth Social” as a source in any story; that is lazy reporting.
The reason its all left leaning is that the journalism schools are left leaning and the people running the networks are accountants, not trained journalists.
Finally, the small truths that DO come out are generally found by people who cannot present them well. Case in point—the Congressman who was releasing the Biden stuff yesterday looked like a rabbi reading from a school paper. He was not exactly forceful, personable, or confidence inspiring. He is probably a nice guy—but he could use some Media training, because he sucked.
Bloggers and You Tubers generally suffer from poor presentation skills, limited audiences, and very poor writing. They could literally discover the cure for cancer, but they come across as mouth breathing conspiracy nuts.
Debates are the ultimate dog and pony show.
I would be for Trump going mano a mano with the little fella.
But the Uniparty will had none of that.
That want Ron to have a posse and gang up on Trump along with the moderator.
The Uniparty is just filling up the debate stage with nothing burgers to run interference for their latest Jeb clone.
Love to see a debate without Trump.
I’d put my money on Vivek in that one.
Out of that field his communication skills and a little more common sense put him above the rest of the pack.
Although I’m not sure if that is much of a complimentary distinction.
Yawn.

I was referring to Brett Baier’s questions in the past. Remember in both 2016 and 2016 Brett Baier, Chris Wallace and the blonde carefully crafted questions to assist the Democrats and/or their preferred pantywaist Republican (in 2012 that was Romney, in 2016, it was Jeb).
I have no problem with candidates being asked ANY questions. But I know how somebody like Baier operates. He (and Wallace when he was still at Fox) coordinated with Bill Sammon (and probably now Paul Ryan) to sandbag conservatives and prop up pantywaists because of their political bias preferring pantywaists.
