I'm a more speech than a less speech kind of guy

It's unfortunate to watch people say terrible things and manipulate vulnerable for profit whether it's with religion or politics or anything between but in my view it's better to not stop the speech only violent actions

but it's all grey area because we are talking private companies and TOS's and all that jazz

but my personal view is more speech not less

I love that Trump uses twitter even though I think a lot of what he says is not good. That he speaks his mind even when he does so very poorly.

I like that he goes out there and does all those caveman rallies not because I support what he says but because there is a transparency in that and a realness that we rarely have experienced before.

the only thing I love about trump using twitter is more evidence for Mueller in a possible Obstruction case, so to that,I say keep up the 3am tweetstorms on the shitter!

I think thats a big part of Trump's appeal: yes, he's an asshole and says and does terrible things from time to time - but at least he's transparent about it. With most other "career politicians", we know that they are shady scumbags who do and say terrible things as well (albeit not all of them to the same degree as Trump), but it's hidden behind a mask of political correctness and phony smiles. With Trump, unlike with most career politicians, we know who he is, what motivates him and what we can expect from his presidency.

looks like some of the people attesting to kavanaugh's character are predators too

i hate this whole "omg trump is so transparent" narrative. sure, a lot of the dumb shit he does is out in the open (like telling Russia to hack Hillary) so we're all like "oh, he's sooooo transparent!"

if his administration was so transparent, why did he freak out at the Op-ed writer/story? shouldn't he have been glad that the public finally knew about his "two-track" presidency?

it's selective transparency at best, he only does so in instances he thinks will benefit him. If it weren't for the rabid media this wouldn't be that much of a transparent administration.

what do you mean with two-track presidency?
that he freaked out at the Op-ed story is easy to explain: it made him look like a weak leader, it was public illoyality by one of his closer staff members, and it made his administration appear to be in disarray. for a man who's known to be obsessed with his public image and loyality, that's enough to freak out.

you don't get it do you.

there's no appearance there, it's reality. hence him trying to contain and covering up the state of disarray in his administration isn't being transparent at all. do you see my point?

this guy gets it

my point would be that Trump is causing it not creating it

the leaks the impulsive tweets and statements the bedroom bully behavior

a typical President goes into hiding and you don't get the leaks and you don't get anything other than an official lawyer drafted and approved generic statement every now and again

the peeks into governing at that level and how the Trump administration is functioning (or not) will benefit generations to come

The bullshit King ironically and unintentionally is giving us a clearer view that we would never see with someone typical
