You’re the one claiming this wasn’t newsworthy.

You made the claim- I wanted to explore your threshold is all.

my “thresholds” of what’s newsworthy are not impt or pertinent here

Sure it is.

Because YOU made the claim this wasn’t newsworthy!

which has nothing to do with whether i think other random items are newsworthy or not.

good talk

it made nbc news

National Weather Service delivers official hurricane map to The President of the United States. Someone in his office alters it with a magic marker. President proudly presents faked map.

“But NBC noticed the childish magic marker alteration!”

Gawd.

was it msm newsworthy?

I understand Southern Alabama was evacuated based on that modified map.
Oh, wait…no it wasn’t. Nothing was done different because of it.
Oh well…outrage anyway.

Ok, you understand even a 2nd grader can see someone took a magic marker to the map. Why would smart people do anything different because of that scribbled up map.

See? The president should be believable. The president shouldn’t be acting like a kindergartner. He shouldn’t be purveying Fake News and a homemade “modified map”, as you put it, when Americans are facing a hurricane.

He should be believable. And we both know he isn’t.

I feel like maybe you’re confusing outrage with pointing and laughing.

people who know better, pointing and laughing at those losing their minds over a sharpie mark

In times of emergency, is the president believable?

Ok. I have no problem with that. Same thing was done with Obama. As long as one doesn’t confuse a gaffe with a serious problem.

This isnt a gaffe…this was intentional and stupid

And designed to deceive Americans.

If it isn’t that big of a deal… then why did he do it? It’s obviously a big deal for Trump to be right… so he marked up a map to show he was correct.

losing their minds

You have to admit that sharpie-enhanced inauguration photo is pretty funny though.

I do not like the current Prime Minister of Australia nor do I like his government’s direction. However, under no circumstances would I have any reason to doubt the veracity of information that he gave as to the projected path of a cyclone in Australian waters. Sure I could access the BOM site but I wouldn’t need to donor would I do that to check the veracity of his information.

It is a damning indictment that the same would not apply in Trump’s case. I understand why it wouldn’t apply with respect to Trump. If one was charitable one could accept that it was a mistake. But if that was the case then one would expect that a correction would be forthcoming.

in times of weather emergency, should people look to the president for weather?

He doesn’t have to be better… he just needs to be accurate.

Should a president take a magic marker to the weatherman’s map and then hold it up for display for Americans?

@thinkingman

If the answer is no… then why did he do it?

maybe a little

He should sign it and auction it off for charity. Some liberal would pay a fortune for it.

[westaussie]

What an argument! People shouldn’t believe Trump to tell the truth; so it is your own fault if you believed him.

do people have to be weathermen to talk about the weather?

i didnt make that my argument

Is this president believable?

This president has proven no.

I had no trouble looking to past presidents for this. I won’t have trouble heeding the next president. This guy. He’s a cheap flagrant liar.

When he talks, look elsewhere. He’s lying straight to your face. Collectively.

@thinkingman

No… they should just repeat what a weatherman told them. Not make ■■■■ up.
