President Trump Thread...

[boozeman]

And on that note:

The Media Are Lying To You About Everything, Including The Riots

The media lied about the Russia collusion hoax, about the Mueller probe, about impeachment, about the coronavirus—and now they’re lying about the riots.

Really? C"mon Schmitty. The Federalist?

 

[Simpleton]

What about it?

Trump is a massive douche. We all know that. It’s the persona he ran and won on so he can’t just retire it.

Threatening the Constitution though? Spare me.

Yes, Trump is a divider, it’s sad, but he is what you get because the liberal media has been dividing and denouncing conservatives for the better part of my lifetime, so you reap what you sow. Now that they got burned by their own fire they want to play the victim.

Maybe turn down the extremism from the left a bit and they can win an election again.

Yes, a President's Secretary of Defense for 3 years saying that he's making a mockery of the Constitution, is antithetical to the country's values and accusing him and his Administration of being unable to provide mature leadership is all very normal.

Just another day at the office providing a proportionate response to whatever it is Democrats have supposedly done.

The same shit on the opposite with Fox.

I know it is fun to pretend he is an overmatched victim of the liberal media.

I didn't think they could sink any lower than their Corona reportage but damned if they didn't prove me wrong.

What is wrong with the Federalist? And I will laugh at you if you cite some mediamatters or equivalent bullshit saying they are white supremacists

Mattis saying it was just a little looting was dishonest as hell too. Cities are burning, there's a reason even 60% of liberals supported sending in troops to stop it

we should only get our analysis of media bias from the extremely neutral NY Times

you can question the wisdom of using troops to prevent looting and mayhem, but you can't argue that it's unconstitutional. Trump has an attorney general and a phalanx of lawyers advising him on that very issue.

I don't remember anyone saying using the Insurrection Act was un-Constitutional when we did it for the LA riots

 

[L.T. Fan]

How about being ordered to disperse peaceful protestors so Trump can do some awkward photo op?

How about the overarching point that Trump purposefully seeks to divide and is making a mockery of the Constitution (Mattis' words)?

I'll hang up and listen.

People are displaced all the time and all over the country when the President is in the area. It’s protocol to displace anyone who may be a treat or who may become violent. There is plenty of very recent history that some of these protesters were violent people and could place a threat to the President.

Yeah, he’s not making a mockery of the Constitution any more than any of our past recent Presidents have. You can parade Mattis’s name out there like it means something but I went to law school so I am under no obligation to bow down to that name-drop.

As for the rest I already agreed Trump is a massive douche and a divider by nature so I’m not sure what your point is saying it all again, I heard you the first time.

The point you are (probably deliberately) avoiding is that Trump is the result of your own political ideology’s malfeasances for years, so again, spare me the claim that he’s victimizing America. Of course none of this is normal or good, but it has not been normal or good for two decades in this country now. You are just on the receiving end of it a little now and you don’t care for it. Welcome aboard!

Who hasn't he canned?

tuna?

The political forum the past few days is proof positive of the spin we are getting from the main stream media sources. Nothing in there that you can refute.

yeah, the Secret Service should have just let him wade through 500 angry people who hate his guts and want him to die

Well, booze was on the “the rioters are white supremacists,” train for a few days....

On that note Barr just threatened earlier today to release names of high profile politicians with ties to Antifa

Won’t matter, nothing would come of it. CNN would explain why it doesn’t matter and their districts will never vote them out.

The Federalist may not be the source anyone should be using, but is it wrong?

The media has been complicit in lying to the American people for far longer than Trump has been around. The lies have just gotten bigger.

Adam Schiff was a media darling for 3 years. He had, or maybe he still has overwhelming evidence that Trump is a Russian asset.

They let him spew that bullshit for 3 years with no push back. Has he had to answer for it? No. Not in any real and consequential way.

Did you happen to see the hearings today with Rod Rosenstein testifying(Total waste of time) If the media wasn’t just another arm of the Democrat party, we probably wouldn’t need these hearings.

The DOJ was embroiled in possibly the most corrupt investigation arm and arm with the FBI, but the media is silent on it because it happened under Obama’s watch, and you can’t have any questioning of their Messiah and his leadership.


They don’t even try to hide it. Every supposed Democrat scandal is automatically a debunked conspiracy theory, and every Republican scandal is worth running with for years on end.

Probably right, just off the top of my head I know Tim Kaine's son and DeBlasio's daughter are antifa

 

[Cujo]

Vox has a headline: “Trump threatens to send U.S Military to quash protests.”

Never mind the fact that explicitly said he was doing it to “protect peaceful protesters, etc.”.

I swear to God I think the media exists to only twist words and intentions to fit their own made up narratives.

I don’t know, maybe they should try and accurately paint a picture of what’s actually going on to inform people? Seems like a big ask these days.

There are too many willing consumers of what they "report." First, we need everyone to want the truth. Half (or more) of the U.S. population is comfortable with the media telling them what they want to hear.
