Foxy,

Its a shame that you have no intention of addressing what I find an interesting topic with any other than your foolish barbs.

I feel a little embarrassed for you that are prepared to make a fool of yourself by saying things like "[s]till back-peddling" when anyone can read the thread and see how wrong that is. So wrong that you are unable to justify the claim and I feel no need to defend myself against it.

I still have no idea why you got so over-wrought about a minor issue that can't be resolved anyway and, given that you haven't sought to explain it, I suspect you don't know why you lost it either.

Foxy, its nice that you allow me to live in your head rent free. But I really do have better things to do than massage your bruised ego.

mhaze,

I've had my say on this topic.
Providing information is an occupational habit.

As for you?

Swallow your pride and admit you were wrong.
It can't be that hard. You must be used to it by now.

mhaze, mhaze, it's your call
Admit your mistake about the Berlin Wall
where Reagan put on quite a show
And Robinson wrote it as we know.

This is not about me.
It's about you admitting your mistake.
And that's something you refuse to take.

I don't think Donald Trump had a speechwriter, it was all his own work! There couldn't be anyone as dumb as Donald to write such crap.

Hi Paul,

The White House wordsmith who channeled remarks and
ensured they were both presidential and Trumpish was
Stephen Miller. His job was a difficult one. Not
only did it involve managing an enormous ego. It
involved manipulating words. Apparently the "word
whisperer,"had an encyclopedic memory and knew how to
capture Trump's voice." He also had to play the game
according to Trump's rules of course. As Trump said -
during the campaign - "It's he who has the "best words,"
that wins.

Other advisers have left but Miller is still around Trump.

"Would it be too much to ask that politicians no longer use speechwriters?"
- I agree, stop treating us like clueless idiots that need to be manipulated and patronised for the sake of optics.
Say it in your own words or not at all.

They're not leaders, just branch managers of globalism.
They care more about what the other so-called 'leaders' think than what we think.
They manipulate us to think about things the way they think about things.
They treat us with contempt.

"You must admit she did appear rather like a total idiot but how that is the reporters fault I fail to see."
- Well she is mentally retarded, what did you expect?
