House Science Committee chairman: Americans should get news from Trump, not media

[MiniMe]

In a remarkable Tuesday night floor speech, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), the chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, praised the physical and mental powers of President Trump and encouraged people to get “unvarnished” news directly from the president, not from the news media.

“Just think what the media would be saying about President Trump if he were a Democrat,” Smith said during the evening time reserved for one-minute speeches. “He has tremendous energy. He campaigned for 18 months, puts in 15-hour days, and has the stamina of a bull elephant, like Teddy Roosevelt. He is courageous and fearless. Given the amount of hate directed his way, no doubt he constantly receives death threats, but that doesn’t curtail his public appearances or seem to worry him in the least.”

8. This is what dictators do, they have sycophants say stuff like this.

And because of fox and limbaugh, we now have just enough citizens stupid and dumbed down enough to believe them.

I think we are done, and we are just watching our final days.

14. I fear the same. This is not some yahoo on the side of a mountain in Idaho.

This is a person with a voice. And this is how he is using it.

Ted Cruz's father was involved in JFK's assassination

Climate change is a hoax invented by China

Crime will stop on Day 1 of Trump's presidency

Polls that Trump doesn't like are fake news

Trump knows more about defense than the Generals

Three to five million illegal votes cost Trump the popular vote

There was a terrorist attack in Sweden on Friday night

11. They are so in love with testicles, and verbal imagry of testicles.

There is no emoticon for this.

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. I don't think so.

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. And the Germans got their news directly from Hitler and Geobbels.

At this rate, it won't be long before the Onion and SNL writers are out of a job. All that will be needed in the future is to quote repukes word for word to get people laughing.

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. You did good, Lamar. Here's your Scooby Snack. nt

[MagickMuffin]

17. No thank you!

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Lamar Smith Can Bite Me

Is that sufficiently clear?

[Johonny]

19. This is easy, if Trump were a Democratic President, they media would be way meaner

doubtful, condescending, skeptic, nitpicky, and untruthful. If Lamar thinks the media goes light on Democrats then he should change his R for a D and try it out for a year...

[VMA131Marine]

20. Lamar Smith has gone full Goebbels!

Sad!

[Rex]

22. Lamar Smith...lulz
