Lawrence Makes my head explode; the never ending inanity.

Is that all there is to the tweet. Very lame. Not worth the effort. Why so many responses?

Lawrence Rerun is right! End the TrumpShutdown!

There should have been a content advisory warning before it aired.

The child needs a Lego set to build his play Wall. 😢

Networks are crazy to believe anything Trump says

JuddApatow I feel so sad for the suckers he’s got duped.

realDonaldTrump

Cant wait to see the FEC reports on how much he raised with his email appeal using oval office & free airtime.

If they didn't run it then there would have been tantrums on the right that the mainstream media is fake and biased and are satan worshipping baby killers. Give him his 8 minutes to make a fool of himself

Lawrence SKUM!

This was nothing more then a rebuttal to Senator Warren's trip to Iowa, plain and simple.

Trump will be known as the greatest President in U.S. history!!!! Love everything he is doing. Democrats look like he is eating their lunch!!

Who cares what the Washington Post says

Your opinions are lame reruns. All hate, all the time.

Definitely part of the “IN” crowd: Inept- insipid and insane.

His wall is inadvertently a Trojan Horse for Putin!

The man won't give up his bull.If he was correct the whole Worlds individual Countries would have walls for borders. Comparing Israel v Palestine Wall-Fence is stupid child talk and an insult to all.

Lawrence Yep!

Look at US president.....👎🏻👎🏾😞

A man child that has the tendencies of a 2 year old has been made POTUS. At first, it was somewhat humorous and quite disappointing--now, it's just scary stupid.

Lamest rerun delivered by a plastic replica... due to the Government shutdown.

Lawrence Trump peddling his racist xenophobic policies to his base of deplorables. White on the outside and inside.

PetulantChild left out a key component which is his new NAFTA deal hasn't been ratified so until it has a yr or two has passed will any of his tariffs upon the U.S. taxpayers will be funding his assinine wall. Yes TrumpCult you'll still be paying for it. Not Mexico..

Those networks deserve all the blowback they get. It's not like they weren't warned.

So false. Obviously reading from a cue card. Can’t remember much these days.

And cnn, MSNBC ABC, CBSNews, and NBCNews would do it again today if Individual-1 told them to. The suits that run the networks are beyond craven and cowardly.

Another nothingburger...

Lawrence Good politicians would force the president to set aside the shutdown and form a committee to come up with a study concerning border security and come up with recommendations. If Trumpsky accepts, he can save the minute little piece of dignity he has left

The Left has been reduced to this kind of lame response.

oufenix The GOP turned the talking points into a clickbait website for gathering contact info

Lawrence In Canada, we would endlessly peacefully demonstrate against idiots in power. Our press would boycott politicians who don’t have the guts to answer questions. More importantly, our political parties would be the first to weed out such incompetent characters.

Lawrence It's the un-incel StephenMillerAL realDonaldTrump puppet show.

No different than CNN. Your the media wing of the Democratic Party and it's obscene. MediaBias

Lawrence My wife and did not watch the lies. Be interested know what the percentage drop was of the networks.

Agreed, but it was much better than the cartoon that appeared afterward.

Momof2inDE Yeah, lame.

It was a calm 10 min statement of border and political truths

That broken record was playing its greatest hits.

Lawrence I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more. So much for that lofty ideal in a hoodwinked country.

I’d rather watch F Troop.

The Liar in Chief. This is fake and it ain't even fkn news. Oh well, another day, another wait...what the fk did I just hear...

Trump has jumped the shark.

VivBWoke Cancel this Rotten show

Networks stop giving him free campaign airtime, this is exactly what he did prior to being elected. Stop getting played, two-thirds of this nation does not want to hear his BS. He is a pathological liar and as a person can't be trusted.

Lawrence That was a big nothing. Except for the hammer murderer.

AllisonRhody56 Yes. Gave once again free campaign time. Promoted hate speech and drug use at the same time. Journalists used to be big on “facts”. Instead they give a liar a platform. Shame on you CNN ABC CBS , we been ashamed of FoxNews . If he is re-elected you own most of it

an excellent address on a vital issue

That's because they didn't listen to me;

So that means advertisers did an in kind contribution to him during his campaign ad for 2020..

We loved it he did a great job.he made is point.

Lawrence I turned off the TV. He bores the shit out of me.

Agreed.... ‘We interrupt your regular programming for another dose of AlternativeFacts ‘ ........

Reminder WP owner suffers from 4th stage Trump derangement syndrome -has turned his paper into radical left aka dem party's modern day PRAVDA. Yes, to legal immigration. No, to illegal aliens invading & costing taxpayers billions, murder,gangs,rapes,slave trade,drug trafficking

Lawrence The con just keeps going on and on...

Who Pelosi?!

JuddApatow Said the paper that ran 14 hit pieces on BernieSanders in a single day...

Lawrence But wait, I just read another piece from the wapo that said Trump Won The Night! 🤔

The lamest programming was having to watch Obama spew his globalist BS.

This was no Kennedy or Johnson lecturing America on equal justice in the face of riots, this was no George Bush, Jr addressing 9-11, this was no Barack Obama announcing we just got Bin Laden. THIS was a rich kid trying to be popular with the bad element at his school. Enough!

Lawrence Is it me, or does it look like he channeling James Cagney in that pic?

Lawrence

Rosanne's comeback was more successful. What a dud! But he appears to be also requesting donations for his upcoming 2020 campaign too. He'll get $. That's all he wants... 🎶 Money money money money..... Money🎶 (the O'Jays sang it better)...lol...but you get the point..😄

Lawrence .realDonaldTrump IF the TSA government employees walk out because they are not being paid, & terrorists use YOUR SHUTDOWN to commit some terrible attack on this Country, you'll be lucky if impeachment is the only thing that happens to you. YOU will be held totally responsible!

Lawrence

so what is his next step?

Lawrence CBS ABC NBC CNN MSNBC STOP pretending you don't see what's like a huge wart on the tip of your nose. realDonaldTrump is going broke & he's desperate to find a new scam he can use to steal money from his idiot Base. Well he just found it, with the help of the major networks.

JuddApatow Trump continues to say the media and press are lying about something he said. Or he says one thing to a reporter and then contracts himself when he tweeters. How can the media and press lie about what he does when he opens his mouth or tweets about it for all to see.

Lawrence The Washington Post, if you cannot support our President, than fold and go to another country. All I hear from you is negativity.. How about ALL the facts instead of downing everything because you disagree.. Your journalists.. doesnt that have some moral codes or ethics?

Lawrence He was fundraising, it was a campaign stunt!

Lawrence Don the Con strikes again.

Lawrence Ha.... PERFECT!

Lawrence Any scheduled program that was preempted by realDonaldTrump's BS speech should Sue the Living HELL out of any network that aired Trump's campaign speech whose soul purpose was to raise money for Trump's 2020 campaign.

realDonaldTrump is doing what’s best for America.

realDonaldTrump is for sure the best president the USA 🇺🇸 have seen for a long long time.

U mean most of the fake news network

He is big fake Trump

I would have watched commercials than trumpster. And i hate commercials

rolandsmartin No biggie. It lasted as long as a commercial.

JuddApatow Networks got played yet again.

Lawrence You got it wrong, NBC has Ellen’s Game of Games not ABC

Hey, I have to agree, the BS coming out of chuck and Nancy’s mouth was certainly nothing we haven’t heard for the past 30 years from democrats. Well except for that time that THEY ALL VOTED TO BUILD A WALL!

MEDIA IS COMPLICIT! PROFITING OFF RACISM!

This wall is nothing but Trump being Racist and afraid of people that are not white. I have the perfect plan for that Trump. Give yourself up about all your crimes and your family as well. You will be ARRESTED rightly so and sent to a safe place with already built walls.

He’s a joke.

Lawrence Whoever thought it would be anything different, where have you been these last two years?

I do recommend denying the former game show host currently occupying the White House further airtime. Or perhaps adding a laugh track.

Lawrence this is what it looks like when a sociopath pretends to have empathy

It was terrible to hear his rhetoric hateful dishonest speeche!

Lawrence Doesn’t mention the fundraising scam.

And helped him with his fundraising efforts - they should all be quite proud

JuddApatow I feel much dumber now since watching this crap💩. Is it possible to loose neurons listening to him? Dah... I need some cat videos. ☹️

What's the big deal? Krump was on for a measly 12 minutes & showed himself to be utterly forgettable. Same shit as in previous utterances, nothing new. Krump is lame, his Admin is dysfunctional & his presidency never stops being a joke.

Lawrence Is Trump sporting the new Kim Jong Un haircut?

You’re referring to the creepy Chuck and Nancy show , I presume ?

The networks let themselves be bullied into this. When will they learn?

JuddApatow the national enquirer speaks again enemyofthepeople

is FakeNews

dukekeith I couldnt hear anything he said. Just his breathing like Darth Vader.

Lawrence It was a campaign ad.

Lawrence A 2020 re-election speech. Too bad the networks took the bait. Trump asking for donations after the speech.

The networks are Complicit ABC NBCNews CBSNews FoxNews NewsHour

Lawrence Because the networks were idiots to cover it. No one held a gun to their head. I didn’t watch it and I never will.

MSM was duped once again. Just like CNN - who runs Trump's ad that says rapists & drugs are flooding into the country through the border. They actually took money to run that ad. Absolutely pathetically disgusting on CNN's part! cnn

Lawrence he made a fool of all of them

Lawrence You guys wrote that headline yesterday 😂😂😂 (and of course he played his role to a T)

Lawrence Really? Bet ratings for that hour dropped to a all time low! “The Curse of Oak Island” on the History Channel was much better!

Lawrence Trump: Let me tell you scary stories about people killed by illegal immigrants. (says nothing about the two children killed by his own administration)

FurForceFive The only difference between this drivel and early Hitler/Goebbels speeches is that there was no television to broadcast Nazi fear-mongering.

Yep.. it was the same old boring BS.

Lawrence No more lamer than you are.

Lawrence I wanted so badly to say YOUR FIRED

This was a phenomenal farce. Every network that aired this bullshit should be ashamed. Nothing was gained, and if things keep going the way they are, a lot will be lost. Thank you, mainstream media. TrumpShutdown

eegodess Suckered them all. Got them all to broadcast his fundraiser live 🤦🏻‍♂️ serves them right. Really disappointed in MSN.

Lawrence Truth. The President whining about his stupid campaign promise, was worse than every episode of Full House.

Lawrence Did I miss something? I was at the movies.🙂

Lawrence Every day I mail a letter to realDonaldTrump. I ran across this one in my file tonight from 8/17. Damn. Just....damn.

JonAndJoeInIndy 'It was a failed attempt to look normal that concealed something even more terrifying underneath.'

Lawrence The Apprentice. Desperate Presidential Edition.

Lawrence It was Not only a Rerun it was a Fundraiser for Trump! Trump should have to Pay Back the Money to the Taxpayers! It is in the Millions or Billions by Now!

JeffreyMeursing And of course the Corrupt Clown 🤡 used this free spot to push for fundraising!

rolandsmartin Good. That's what they deserved. Boot lickers

Didn't they deny President Obama a prime time spot? White privilege at work?

Lawrence

Trump's announced speech was just ONE BIG CRY WOLF situation. Now, whenever there is an 'announcement' coming from the Oval Office in the White House, Americans will just expect it to be another useless and tedious campaign speech.

Lawrence Trump's Crying Wolf could keep the nation from taking seriously any REAL national emergency he may have to announce in the future.

Lawrence Every single network who aired the address should be ashamed and think about what they have done. They given Trump control of narrative we need to stop giving it to him and ways to do that are not to go to his rallies and boycott all speeches of Trump supporters.

DeityFree Why did they?

Wait, I thought I'd could buy some Trump items...

Other than State of The Union, MSM, do not cover any of his events live. Just broadcast a few clips during the news if images are significant.

We're so used to politicians running on promises to fix what's broke that when they try, we're cynical. Career politicians learn to talk big & deliver less. Trump missed the memo. He thinks walls are preferable to physical conflict between migrants & CBP:

rolandsmartin Trump asking his supporters for money!😂

🤣 Lol like you were really planning on watching cable tv tonight anyway. Oh yeah that’s a good use of your time.

See Caroline Orr's explanation: 'We found out today that Trump's campaign chairman gave internal polling data' to 🔥a RU operative...but Trump's address 'is dominating the headlines' 'As I said earlier, the purpose of propaganda is not persuasion, but 🔥power. And it's working'

WaPo is bringing itself lower. Did nothing throughout 8years of last administration for likesake

The networks can’t say that they weren’t warned.

Yeah, the Chuckie and broom Hilda show.

Oh My! Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh My! Now, this story is Real 'Journalism'!

I hope the networks live and learn from the latest realDonaldTrump attention grabbing scheme

Oh, I get it: someone is trying to be clever...

This is why I’m glad I don’t have TV anymore and just watch Netflix and Hulu.

I loved it! Thank you realDonaldTrump for going against msm and HouseDemocrats SenateDems TeamPelosi chuckschumer BuildTheDamnWall

No editorializing in that headline.

TrumpTrainWreck

Even Fox news called Bullshit.

Beat headline yet.

Honestly, this spoof of the Budweiser ad was more interesting then watching moroninchief realDonaldTrump Ego and Tantrum address.. AlternativeFacts scarymovie

I don´t know other project with active devs like DeepOnion. The people should realize the importance of legit projects like DeepOnion! $ONION GetDeepOnion

awelab1956 They're no better than the GOP.

realDonaldTrump didn't say five true words.

Trump telling everyone how it is period

wait..wait..wait..I just realized..lookin at the photo of him..hes sportin the un Jong look!..Hes got the same block head look that Kim of the North has..omg..it IS a luv story...😮

And so lame that the Washington Post decided to report on it… YellowJournalism

🤣😂🤣 they did it for the incompetent Obama

Either those curtains go, or I do

No respect for the office of POTUS. I bet if he were colored you tuck twinkies would have a different position. Lol

well i just found something even lamer

This was 100% my reaction

WhereAreThePessos

Bash bash bash. That’s all you do. No real journalism going on here.

Time to cancel this hogwash

I did love how the 8 minute rant set up the networks for 80 minutes of liberal and progressive messaging. Just loved that part. PS... stop calling it the wall - there's very expensive private prison $ built into the 'wall' request.

Yep...

Did it justify losing ad dollars?

Let him beg

Purely political. They refused Obama but caved for Trump. Such hypocrisy.

Well don’t like it, go set on it WP!!

Oh, shit, take this cat to the burn unit, STAT

What's this? Another scathing Trump bashing op-ed by WaPo? Has it been five minutes already?

WAPO as funny as a crutch, or 'The Connors' 🙄
