A Couple of Trump Derangement Things

[Ben]

A couple of Trump derangement things I saw in the news today that even people who don't like Trump should be doing a "WTF over?" about.

1) Melania has disappeared from sight because Trump beat the crap out of her. That's not just social media, that's some "mainstream" reporters coming up with that crap while the rest of the MSM is playing along at some level or ellse going on the "something is wrong with her" road. Nevermind when people questioned Hillary falling down every other day they were attacked for conspiracy theories. Also nevermind that Melania was at a big event yesterday.

2) The New England Patriots thing. Even if it happened exactly as the MSM is reporting, I'd be good with it. What actually happened, which is getting hardly any coverage, is:

The Patriots first said they were bringing around 80 players and staff. Then they called the White House to reschedule (imagine telling the Obama white House that the president needed to reschedule for you) because many players said they weren't coming. They wanted Trump to reschedule to the time he would be having talks with North Korea (seriously?). Then they said that only five players, the team mascot, and a couple of staff would attend. Who wouldn't say FU to that?

The news is reporting that Trump did this because he's racist and that it's also his fault that the Patriots won't be doing charity for kids in DC now. That was separate from the White House, so why did they cancel? They could all still go to DC and do that, given most of them are millionaires.

Anyway, the TDS is getting more and more bizarre to me.

Well,  I think we're in four 2.5  more years of silly-land entertainment ....

Did the Donald say anything about how the Iggles' mascot is ----------------------- an animal?

Show's how into team sports I am. 


Also there is this from 2012:

I honestly couldn't remember who played in the Superbowl this year, if it weren't already in the news.

Additionally, it would be quite surprising in the Pats pulled this crap. If I recall, the owner and the QB are Trump supporters. (Or at least not hostile.)

They hit it on the nose again. Both the Obama and Clinton wives acted like they were elected along with their spouses.

This isn't freakin' England. I don't care if it's a man or woman president. The First Lady or First Gentleman were not elected. All I want from them is to either be in the White House kitchen cooking or out mowing the White House lawn every Saturday morning. I don't care which does which, but stay out of politics.

Does this count as TDS?

Cannot access.  Intrusive ads I can't eliminate.

Okay, chances are that after kidney surgery Melenia had a nephrostomy tube and bag installed while her kidney healed.  I know I wouldn't want to appear in public with a bag of piss strapped around my leg/ankle.  Especially for a lady that prides herself on her appearance.  (Plus the press would been crueler then then a bunch of kids on a playground).  So she chose to stay inside and heal until she could get that removed and not have to deal with the resulting mockery and fall-out from the press.
