In their defense he literally WALKED OFF THE STAGE after this question, giving no chance for follow up. It was still a shittily posed question though.

Lol where did I claim he never avoided questions? Or that Obama was faultless?

It’s true, I didn’t like his answers. But I really didn’t like that he avoided the question entirely.

I’m talking explicitly about answering questions in press conferences.

Obama answered multipart questions.

It doesn’t though. Not to most Americans, they forget the multiple questions too and just focus on what he says. It only reveals that kind of thing to the people who already think he’s a lunatic — no one else.

Reporters cannot ask him multipart questions, it makes it WAY too easy to dodge. I can’t imagine how tempting it is to ask a whole litany of questions in your one turn but the fact that he could sidestep the question about whether his staff had contact with Russia is unacceptable.

There are so many other horrible consequences to Trump stacking the Supreme Court with conservatives thatI completely forgot it also means we will probably never rid ourselves of the the death penalty.

Yes, what his comment was trolling but that doesn’t mean it was wrong — it just means he expected people to aggressively disagree with it.

Didn’t say he was.

I know, right? Gotta respect someone who can compete athletically at the top of the game and serve in the senate.

K.

Not at all. I do think that someone who copies and pastes an almost identical contrarian and vaguely aggressive comment to two people in the same thread in short order is hoping to get a rise out of one of them. Hence the “trolling” reference.

I know you’re trolling but, sure, I’ll play.

He has now twice congratulated Graham on his football victory last night. Great use of time.

Does that letter signed by a smorgasbord lawyers mean nothing?

Nah bud, p sure you’re the one in the wrong here

I now picture Ivanka and Jared triumphantly singing this to their children as they tuck them into their gold beds under blankets made of leopard skin provided by their uncles. Truly they have overcome adversity today.

Oh he’s going to hate it so much. That’s the one light in all this — he’s going to be miserable.

Yes, probably.
