POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

[trixR4kids]

If that was true they wouldnt be running the government (all three branches) and have the Leg and Governorship of the majority of states. You can pretend it is cause Hillary and Gerrymandering but it is way more than that.

Even with their propaganda networks spewing lies 24/7 their own base will eventually recognize how savagely they have been played, and long before that we will have taken the country back by inexorable democratic means.

Agreed Handy, people don't change their opinions based on facts for the most part especially when challenged. People constantly protect their worldview above all else we've seen it in his great idk how many times from flag who probably still believes in Walmart death camps and Jade Helm despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. So big picture wise I don't see the death of the party anytime soon at least in most of the states.

What I don't necessarily agree with though is that the country got dumber or anything like that (I realize you didn't explicitly say that here but it seems like a common thread here). It's still basically the same makeup it's just that through voter suppression and however many other factors dems just didn't turn out as well. That I hope can be changed though it's hard to figure out whether voter turnout had more to do with voter ID laws or an uninspiring candidate/party. One can be more easily fixed (at least more quickly) than the other.

Holy Crap. We're not progressing as a society at all.

I thought we were supposed to be toning down the hateful rhetoric, after a Congressman got shot and all. Guess not.

Who's this "they" anyway? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We dont think the country got dumber...we always thought the people were dumb. (as did the Founders fyi) The difference was the smart used to offset the dumb, now the smart are lazy or disinterested so the dumb rule.

And before some Righty "who doesnt support Trump" says something about my arrogance or whatever...just because I am arrogant doesnt mean I am wrong. The populace makes stupid decisions despite of the facts even when those decisions cause them harm. They are dumb...they have the capacity to be smart but they willfully choose the opposite.

Joe Scarborough Goes Nuclear

“We got a call that, ‘Hey, the National Enquirer is going to run a negative story against you guys…’ And they said, ‘If you call the president up, and you apologize for your coverage, then he will pick up the phone and basically spike this story…The calls kept coming and kept coming, and they were like ‘Call. You need to call. Please call. Come on, Joe. Just pick up the phone and call him.'”

JoeScar says he has texts and phone records to back him up.

The President of the United States. I hope JoeScar releases every bit of evidence he has and then everybody who has ever been bullied by Dump does the same.

This P.O.S. can't be shamed, but maybe a few of his sentient apologists can be.

Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

Not really. Trumpy's entire game when faced with legal action is to bully and bluff his way through, until the other party backs down. If they don't, Trumpy quietly settles, despite the fact that he "never settles".

I have a strong feeling this method, while effective in the real estate world, doesn't hold much sway in the political arena.

Bingo. Dump is a coward. Just push and investigate and hold him accountable for everything he has done in 71 worthless years. He has a glass jaw.

He's been trying the bully and bluster gimmick, and so far it's not working. Comey and the "tapes", trying to get the intelligence heads to publicly exonerate him, all the tweeting about no there there, and so forth. It might be winning over his supporters, but they were in the bag already. It's done nothing but accelerate and heighten the investigative activities, and make it look like he's guilty of something and trying to cover it up. .

Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

I really think people need to quit fixating on trump and anything he says. Nothing he says will make a difference, there is quite literally absolutely nothing he could say that will turn his people off. He could spout something so foolish and outrageous you can't even imagine and it wouldn't matter. He could say something so ridiculous that we wouldn't expect it from the tinfoil brigade of folks like Alex Jones or Flaggy on their most ridiculous days and IT. WOULD. NOT. MATTER. We need to force the media and the republicans in congress to do their jobs. The whoring media helped as much as anything to give us trump, and now they're whoring away still because all trump all the time still spells ratings. But since ratings is their primary interest I'm not so sure they'd pull the rug out from under trump, if by doing their jobs that's what would happen. Same thing with elected republicans. They're just hoping to whore themselves out to trump's voters and unless they sense that an election hangs in the balance, none of them will do anything about trump. They should all burn in hell but that would make hell a place so bad those already there might begin to look good.

Just read Rolling Stone's interview with Rachel Maddow, really interesting (hey, shuddup, I paid $50 for a 50 year subscription in 2002), and she says the same thing. Don't listen to what he says...watch what he does. He says things to distract, then does things, then says more things to bring you back to distraction.

Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

I don't give him credit for engineering it, but I'll tell you, it really bothers me that he so enrages me with his stupidity, deceitfulness, greed, pettiness, lasciviousness, and carelessness. I really wish I could rise above pointless distracted anger and resentment. It's a problem.

That is his "goal" right now. Distract, then do what he wants. He's a carnie. It's a fixed game, but he's getting you away from the common knowledge that it's a fixed game with oratory lights and whistles."

Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

thing is, if Trump or some other string-puller were so good at it, they would have accomplished WAY more by now. They have a vacant four-lane highway to drive down, and they've been parked much of the time.

[alfablue]

Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News

Parked? More like reversed.

6 years of "repealing" the ACA and they still haven't even done that.

What are they distracting us from?
