Did Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer just Tweet his passwords?

[JamesSWD]

Notice that as these executive orders keep rolling out making good on the promises he wasn't supposed to keep, the stuff we're hearing about Trump relates to the most trivial gossip.

Trump's EOs are far from done deals at this point. In fact, there are those in his own party that are coming out against some of the EOs. Have you forgetten that the chief executive in this country is not given the power of a dictator?

Trump seems to be flopping all over the place like a fish out of water when it comes to how he is going to pay for a wall. To me, it seems that he has not well considered at least part of what has come out of his mouth.

Trump is using EO's to reverse Obama's EO's, which is perfectly fine. Did you clamor about this when Obama didn't get his way and used his 'pen & phone' to do what he should have done via Congress?

Trump keeps his old phone --> "cyber security blunder"

Allegations of private servers --> "cyber security blunder"

Random tweets from the press secretary --> "security blunder... ?"

These look like butt dials or a deliberate attempt to distract media with trivial gossip, like the Trump camp did for the entire campaign run.

It's funny how these "cyber security blunders" are dismissed as nothing or simply as rumors, but if Clinton or Obama did anything similar it would be the greatest cyber security DISASTER in the history of the USA!

 

[umbala]

Trump or his press secretary called the journalists "stupid" or something to that effect the day before. So, this is more than likely nothing other than payback.

Yes, because all journalists are petty and vindictive like President Pu$$ygrabber. *roll eyes*

They're certainly not above it. None of us are.

Some of us even stoop to name calling. Take you for example.

It would actually be better for him if he didn't keep his promises. A recent poll of Trump voters show that less than half actually support building the wall and only 37% support building it if it means bad relations with mexico.

In the same poll some 47% of Trump voters were fine with Trump and his team's use of a private server, ironically.

It is most likely as you said, this password thing and the private server are distractions from the real issues, like the massive trade war that could ensue from the wall, the immigrants stranded in US airports, the digtal book burning of scientific data that is occurring, and much more. This aside from the fact that the administration admitted to giving "alternate facts", which is just a cute name for lies. Allot of what's going on is pretty similar to what other dictator's did early on.

That is, if you don't consider all the complaining the republicans did. They love to make names like "king obama". Right now Trump is proving that they only whine when something doesn't benefit them.

So yes, he very well has every right to complain away because the republicans and their fox mouthpiece certainly was not short of it.

That's because he doesn't know half this stuff and is still determining his own position on the issues. If it wasn't abundantly clear during the campaign that he has zero political experience then it should be clear now.

It was funny that people thought electing a man with zero experience is going to get things done. No, it's just going to create a president he listens to what he's told because he frankly doesn't know how anything works. Right now it seems like Trump is a puppet and the real people enacting policy will be everyone else.

Trump and his cabinet of clowns and *****s is just plan ridiculous.

Denying Scientific evidence ?calling the media wrong and saying they report false stories? gag orders on the scientific community?

This is how dictatorship and fascist regimes start. What's worse is all his supporters are clueless to this, or just plain clueless in general.

That's wonderfully eloquent, outspoken, and.... (wait for it) hyperbolic). If Trump doesn't get a second term, I sure the troops won't have to storm the White House to get rid of him. We'll likely have the same "peaceful transition of power", we had this time. Why don't you head on down to DC a turn over a couple of trash cans, maybe break a store window or two. Show us the "maturity" of the dissident liberals such as yourself.

The most ironic part of all this, if you asked anyone of the numbskulls in these protest marches, they could do a better job as president than Trump. Maybe we should have "rule by consensus". Oh wait, we already do......, nevermind.

But you don't rule by consensus.
You rule by buttering up the 598 (or whatever amount) of electoral college votes and not giving 2 poops about the rest of the population. That whole system was set up ages ago when the population counts and diversity was completely different from today.

Then you also have a campaign system that runs WAY too long with absolutely no care in the world if the truth is ever even a consideration in campaign promises.

It's just plain broken and sad what's going on at the moment, I hope Canada starts building a wall soon and makes Trump pay for it.

You sure got that right. In fact, the US has now been declared a flawed democracy, which, of course, has probably already labelled fake news by those who disagree with the viewpoint. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2017/0...2016-Democracy-Index-Where-do-we-go-from-here

Clueless liberal rant. The electoral college was created to prevent areas with large populations from controlling an election. How is it fair that the most populated areas get the control the election while not giving "2 poops" about how the rest of the country votes? You need to move to your socialist utopia Canada and revoke your US citizenship.

Interesting that you feel the need to denigrate, I.e., bully, those who disagree with you because you think that helps you make your point.

As I see it, it is also a valid argument to state: how is it fair that a bunch of states who's population barely amounts to the population of large cities gets to elect a president against the wishes of the majority of the population of the US as a whole? Oh, right. There were 3 million dead people that voted in the election.

Not a US citizen firstly.

Secondly, educate yourself about what other countries do that work better than your system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation

Thirdly, the college vote count per state is not a proper representation of the population of that state because like I said initially those numbers where made up when the populations of those states where WILDLY different from now. So actually what you have now is that the minority of the population is representing the majority of the votes. Not exactly a good idea now is it?

And I'll add that the electoral college has evolved into something far different than its creators envisioned. As it is now, the electoral college is merely a rubber stamp for the majority vote of each state with a few exceptions.

Yeah, the electoral college needs to be redone. It was originally created by a group of men who had each of their state's own best interests in mind. Thus we have a system were millions of American's votes are only worth 1/3 of what they would be in a smaller state. AKA Tyranny of the minority. This issue has only gotten worse as a select few states have a majority of the population. In my opinion each state only having 2 senators is already a huge disadvantage for large states. Having that in addition to the electoral college essentially means that millions of Americans in the larger states don't mean squat in the eyes of the federal government. We are likely the only country in the world were so many people don't really have a voice at all. Also, a small tribble but the number of reps in the house has a max number of 435 representatives so no matter how big a state it will never completely overpower the rest of the union. Just good to point out all the facts that make it impossible for any theory of "tyranny of the majority" to be possible, because it is just the opposite of that.

I didn't dispute your claims. I said to cite them, which you obeyed. But one lonely article and a poll from a questionable source is hardly enough to use as your foundation. But go ahead and accuse me of projection, etc., which is exactly what you're doing yourself.

Yes, as part of the responsibilities of a president, EOs are perfectly fine.

Apparently, I did not make my point clear and that is that Trump's EOs, just like some of those that Obama issued, are going to get challenged in court. I would not be surprised if the number of Trump's EOs that do get challenged in court exceeds the number of Obama's that got challenged in court.

The presidency is not a dictatorship, nor does it carry, in any way, the ultimate power similar to that of a CEO.

IBT is a questionable source? Like I said, you wouldn't have agreed with ANY source that I'd put up so it's not shocking, even when IBT is known to favor Trump

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Business_Times

"But go ahead and accuse me of projection, etc., which is exactly what you're doing yourself."

You don't understand what that word means. How about you add something to the conversation, instead of making wisecracks and running. I pull up numbers, you want source. I pull up source, source isn't reputable (even though it's been around for 2005). I show you source is obviously reputable, you'll either deny or back away.

Unfortunately, IMO, the people who hold such viewpoints will likely not be easily swayed. They would rather believe alternative facts told to them by known liars than have it crash their reality.

What your posts say, though, is what I stated above in that Trump supporters are finding out what his true face is and beginning to understand exactly what the thing is that has been elected to office. Not everyone, even in his own party, are going along with him, nor, though I should not have to state this, are they required to go along with him for any reason because the US is not a dictatorship, and though Trump might think so, this is not North Korea.

Personally, I see this as a good thing because it will likely mean that Trump is yet another four-year phenomenon if he even makes it that far.

I would not be surprised if the order against immigrants that was just issued is shot down by the courts and upheld by SCOTUS on the basis of religious discrimination. Trump has no evidence that anyone affected by this order are engaged in terrorist activities. He's phising, and the few he might catch could be uncovered by other means.

 

[captaincranky]

I am sure that history is full of similar statements about the tyrants through the ages.

That fact remains about "Trump becoming a tyrant king", is flat out bullsh!t.

He's still limited to two terms by our Constitution. Yes that's right, the same Constitution which provides the Electoral College.

I look forward to four years of your thoroughly annoying whimpering and whining about Trump, simply because some worthless political hack didn't get elected in his stead.

So, we don't have kings or dictators. Trump, whether or not he serves a second term, I'm guessing will provide our nation a, "peaceful transition of power", the exact same way one was provided for him. (*)

Whether or not the US is a "flawed democracy", is somewhat moot. The people who are running their yaps the loudest, live under as much or more corruption in their governments than we do. For example, the president of France (IIRC) was a fop and a womanizer as well. In England the "copyright police" have fixed it so that it's illegal to make a "mixed tape", from your own damned CDs. The "EU Court", fines huge corporations billions of dollars, then pockets the money, without "compensating victims", for atrocities as heinous as M$ packing only their own browser with their own (Windows) operating system. Half of the the elected officials in Europe, (I'm guessing), still carry at least the recessive gene for hemophilia.

As far as Trump curtailing immigrants and refugees from Muslim countries. Wake the frak up. These people still carry on the Crusades against one another, despite being the same religion.


In the end, the warring factions get to destroy everything in sight, without offering one red cent in "humanitarian aid". They simply drive the civilians out of the country, and let the rest of the world's foundering economies, pick up the tab(s) for their destruction. One has to assume, whomever wins, will be pumping out the country's oil, and making a massive amount of money doing so. Money that would be better spend on food and reconstruction for those "poor refugees". ....Er, the ones they created.

(*) Feel free to copy this post to your computer. So that, in the highly unlikely event they have to call out the National Guard to oust Trump from the White House, you can say, "I told you so". I'm not holding my breath though, and neither should you...

I agree that Trump should limit the use of EO's. It's not the way to run things and can take us down the wrong path, if overused to bypass Congress. As a jumpstart to unwind Obama's EO's, I don't have a problem with them, though.

Just open up an account for which Techspot is the sole purpose. Open it once a month, and delete everything, sight unread. Or would that make too much sense?

It's certainly much simpler and faster than unsubscribing on a thread by thread basis.

While your at it, give the same address to people you've done business with, and you know are going to spam you as soon as you get done typing in your email address on their site.

Or does that make too much sense as well?

I hear ya...but unfortunately, many writers at TS are posting politically oriented articles, sometimes based on information that's biased or false. They've trended left, like many tech sites have, and post political anti-Trump stuff in many cases...which naturally leads to acidic comments between the pro & anti Trump readers. We have a blast in political discussions over on sites like Breitbart, because it's very political over there. But TS needs to back away from posting politically-oriented articles because a writer wants to vent...and they should concentrate on tech only. Same with other tech sites.
