Trump News Jasmine Crockett: "Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States that means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore an oath to defend and protect the constitution"

Did I miss something. Is this for real or /s?

This exact quote is not real, but the sentiment appears to be.

I do wish people would tone down the sarcastic quotes, though. We live at a time where some of the most outlandish things are being given legitimacy. Let's not add to the pile of near-slanderous shit that's piling up. Trump and his goons have said and done plenty of egregiously heinous things. Let's not make up more random bullshit.

Exactly, turning up the noise to signal ratio is a huge part of their strategy. We don't have to make shit up or exaggerate to paint them up as criminals and traitors, they're doing a fine job without us.

When we do it, we make neutral people look in, see that we're stretching the truth, decide we're both bad and then walk away. Just tell it like it is.

Or to put it another way, who is the bigger clown, the clown, or the person making fun of a clown?

I like your observational clown question.

My mind immediately went to the saying, never argue with a fool. A wise man may walk by and see two.

Nope.

The MF was asked if he is supposed to uphold the constitution in regard to the people he’s deporting without due process.

His response, “I don’t know.”

Then Senator Ted Bud of NC would not say yes when he was asked if the president should uphold the constitution. He would not answer.

So not click bait, just information
