So it used to be that Trump would say things like I won by a landslide. Yeah it's a lie but really we can chalk it up to hyperbole. My crowd size was bigger than Obama's etc...
There was of course the age old tactic of "Everyone is lying. Believe only me." Like the 12 women who all came out and said he molested them. THEY all lied. Trump told the truth. I'll spare you the other 3000-5000 lies he's told.
Today, he says that the video of his interview with Lester Holt ("I fired Comey because of the Russia investigation.") in which he incriminated himself for obstruction of justice in front of the whole nation was doctored.
In other words. Don't believe your own eyes. Amazing!
Go ahead all you hockey pucks. Defend him. I find it very amusing. And please include a clever personal insult that gets by the moderator. I believe we've established that "hockey puck" is ok on MF and that we all find the humor in it.
Q. What did the hockey goalie say to his teammate ?
A. Let's get the puck out of here.
joj,
You are free to bash Trump here if that's what you are compelled/obsessed to do, despite me preferring positive contributions.........which you have also been known to make.
With regards to the term "hockey puck" I had never heard of it before, other than when used in the sport of hockey.
This is what I just got from the internet on "hockey puck"
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hockey%20puck
Since you continue to bring this up, you and maybe somebody else must have been greatly offended by the way that expression was used. In consideration of that, I will please ask forum posters to no longer use the expression "hockey puck" in order to be sensitive to those offended by it.
From now on, anybody that uses the words "hockey puck" to refer to someone(s) else here will get an official warning from me.
That was easy enough to resolve.................so, please proceed with your next post on something different. If it's Trump bashing to upset those who support Trump here, so be it. I am also extremely liberal in allowing those who do it to continue.
silverspiker,
You are clearly the funniest guy here. Keep the humor coming.
Well, it was current news. Trump made an outlandish defense of his obstruction.
I only react to about 2% of the stuff coming out of Trump's mouth. I'd hardly call that an obsession.
Trump was right here in Evansville IN earlier today.
Filled the 12,000 seat Ford Theater and had a couple thousand outside that didn't get there early enough.

Amazing that he gets these people in such large numbers.

Ionic comedian Don Rickles passed away …. the man responsible for turning "hockey puck" into an insult.
if joj would only stop and consider. He was referred to as hockey puck by one of the brightest and well spoken posters here in a loving way. It was admiration and adoration intended. He just simply automatically assumed it was some offensive term. You know, sort of like automatically assuming anything Trump tries he wants the opposite. Open your heart and breathe joj, there are great things going on.
There is a legal definition of obstruction, which has been defined right here on the forum, and then there is the liberal definition of obstruction, which has also been defined right here on the forum. As usual, the two are miles apart, and as in most cases, the liberal definition is "I don't like him or anything he does". This is also the liberal definition for racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Nazi, Treasonous and any number of other labels.
BTW Carl, thanks for correctly attributing the source for my now banned and obviously horrendously offensive epithet.
Hey Tim,
Did you notice it didn't get banned when you used it (not on me and DEFINITELY intended to insult)?
It got banned when I used it.
"I fired Comey because of the Russia investigation." Obstruction in plain site. And why do you suppose the president is now saying it didn't happen? (gfawww!) Because he fears it is obstruction.
I think MetMike saw a developing trend that could have taken a previously humorous adjective to another level. It happens with a petulant obsession and we've seen that sort of nonsense from other posters. I can't disagree with his decision, though I do regret circumstances left him with little choice.
Also, I've posted numerous legal arguments on whether or not Trump's action could be legally defined as obstruction. The strongest left leaning, tho informed opinion was maybe, if specific criteria were met. The rest were along the lines of "Absolutely not". I could post them again, but that appears to be a fruitless effort. Or you could look them up. Again, unlikely to bear fruit. So, carry on.
only it got much worse last week with another lib genius waeighing in. Robert "spanky" Reich wrote Trump's presidency should be annulled. That's right. A perfectly legal president, with a perfectly legal election is erased. His policies erased, His court appointees erased. Why? Well you see because the libs cannot accept the election.The hate will not allow that.
Now that Or has admitted back dooring info and also sharing that info with Mueller prosecutors what the hell is the left going to do when they are all in jail. This stuff with Or is getting real....finally
So perhaps you can share your analysis of WHY Trump is saying the video of his interview is fake?
My theory is that he is correctly scared in his boots that he is guilty of obstruction and needs to change the narrative.
Why do you suppose he made the outlandish assertion?
bottom line is really hard for you. Surely you know Trump can fire at any time for any reason. Should of been fired on day 1 instead he gave the fbi creep a chance and that blew up. There were a hundred reasons to fire him, they have mostly been listed here...the Russian hoax cannot be obstructed, it as concocted by the deep state, how could it be otherwise?
How dare one poster apply the disgusting, offensive term "hockey puck" to another poster here -- for shame!!!
May I suggest that in lieu of that insanely offensive term, posters use the term "Nazi" in its place?
It seems to be quite acceptable here.
talk about how the TDS is Pelosi said yesterday she was Praying really hard on how to get rid of Trump and save us all ....wow another Comey, just what we need! Anyway she was praying she said to rid of Trump so a women can have the right to choose. Imagine that one. Square that circle guys. She is praying so the most innocent of any of us die
Talk about deranged....
Still waiting for a coherent response to the question from Tim or anybody: Why did Trump lie yesterday about the veracity of his interview?

"Hey Tim,
Did you notice it didn't get banned when you used it (not on me and DEFINITELY intended to insult)?
It got banned when I used it."
Since you are implying the exact opposite of what really happened joj, let me clarify what really happened because I'm the guy that banned the word.
1. Tim New used the term hockey puck in a post some days ago.
2. I spend hours putting together weather and trading posts in the forum above and sometimes don't read every post in every political thread because its almost always the same stuff.............so I missed it. Even if I had read the post, I would not have recognized the insult because I had never heard of the expression.
3. joj mentioned the term hockey puck in a post and I was thinking it was sort of a joke because I'd never heard the expression. However, he suggested posting an honor roll of everybody that has not received infractions at the end of the year. To accommodate his suggestion, I provided that list of everybody right now(which is everybody less 1 person that has received 2 warnings and will be banned on the next one). 1 other person was banned a month ago.

4. Joj did not thank me for doing the extra work for his suggestion but thats ok.
5. joj persisted to object about the use of the term "hockey puck" in another political thread that I read.............so I decided this must be bothering him. He and possibly somebody else really were offended(obviously because of the person that used it).
6. To respect his sensitivity, being offended and wishes, I banned the term hockey puck............at his request.
7. Joj instead of saying "thanks metmike" responds by telling us that Tim New got to use the word and it didn't get banned but when he, Joj used it, it caused metmike to ban it.
joj,
I don't expect you to thank me every time that I do something specifically designed to honor a request of yours......or to thank me ever. However, I would appreciate it if you would not mischaracterize an action of mine, which I considered addressing a concern of yours with a solution that was what you requested.

JOJ, I did not see the original interview and I did not see Trumps alleged response to it, but if you are asking me to give you a rational explanation for everything Trump says and/or does, I'm afraid I'll have to decline.
I will have to thank joj again for making a nice comment directed at me about going to heaven for spending hours a day here for what has been much less than $5/day over the last week.
mike, keep repeating over and over..."I am doing the Lord's work"
