What you can say is negative, and what you can say is positive, is all subjective to the reader of those articles. A lefty wanting to take down Trump probably thinks all those articles are positive - positive in affecting change for what they feel would be a better situation.

That's what we've gotten away from. News shouldn't be positive. Shouldn't be negative. It should just be. Does CNN leave out statistics that might show Trump in a positive light? Sure they do. What those stats are I couldn't tell you. Is that fake? No, still isn't fake.

To make the charge that CNN is fake is a pretty big deal in my opinion.

And a few other things I took away from that press conference...mainly this, and I'm paraphrasing here:

"I know what is fake news and what isn't, so you should trust what I say."

That's very fucking scary and dangerous, and it sounds like something the Kims would say.

New EO on travel/immigration ban coming

2/17/2017 10:29:15 AM

National Guard eyed to round up unauthorized immigrants

Quote :

"A draft memo obtained by The Associated Press outlines a Trump administration proposal under consideration to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants. Millions of those who would be affected in 11 states live nowhere near the Mexico border. The 11-page document calls for the unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement as far north as Portland, Oregon, and as far east as New Orleans, Louisiana. If the proposal is implemented, governors in the affected states would have final approval on whether troops under their control participate."

White House and DHS denied afterwards but also were asked to comment by AP and declined to.

Again, AP gave them a chance to dispute it and they chose not to for obvious reasons - they can claim it was "fake news" and mislead legions of those who already are skeptical.

Hey kdogg and rjrumfel, how do you guys feel about Trump flying to mar a lago for golf for the 3rd weekend in a row?

2/17/2017 11:28:08 AM

I think it's a bunch of bull crap, especially since he also gave Obama shit for playing golf.

Why do you think my response with Trump would be any different than with Obama?

2/17/2017 11:31:52 AM

@MahirZeynalov has been a good follow to provide perspective and insight of a populist government, such as Trump's. He is one of the leading reporters of the Turkey/Erdogan situation, so has some good experience strategies and tactics of a populist leader attempting to consolidate power.

God forbid we enforce immigration laws. God forbid we enforce laws! HITLER!

Laws like the Posse Comitatus Act? The President can't use the military to enforce laws. The governors of states can use the National Guard for that purpose. I don't believe he can.

I just saw the "anti-Semite" narrative question and how Trump called it out.

+10000 credibility

Then he called out the other side for staging events and hoaxes to suggest that

his pants sure are on fire. you know, for lying about basically everything 24/7.

2/17/2017 2:25:54 PM

he is just running over the media

they have no idea what to do

and their supporters (i.e., Democrats in Congress, and Liberals in general) have their hair on fire trying to figure this out

c'mon, Soros...fund more protests/demonstrations/riots!!!!!!

2/17/2017 2:46:17 PM

It's all fun and games until we aren't creating 150-250,000 jobs a month anymore. Clowns are fine until we hit a rough patch economically, which is probably likely at some point during his tenure.

Just because he talks over reporters/ignores and deflects doesn't mean he is "running all over the media". He looks like a fucking clown. But hey, you voted for him.

The mentality that "he's acting like an arrogant, ignorant clown... that's awesome!" is very perplexing to me.

I seriously can't see how anybody can watch that press conference and not wonder about this guy's mental stability... and intelligence. Party loyalty, I guess? Or maybe the admiration is due to a common enemy? It seems like any sane, half-way intelligent person can see that he's saying some crazy stuff that doesn't make any sense.

does kdogg actually think protesters get paid or is it just trolling?

2/17/2017 4:05:31 PM

i'm pretty sure he's slightly unhinged (kdogg... and the president. maybe that's the reason for the admiration)

2/17/2017 4:07:21 PM

The media is calling him a liar to his face and all he can do is sputter "I was given that information"

Newspaper subscriptions are up, CNN ratings are up, investigative journalism is important again. The Media is gonna be fine.

2/17/2017 4:09:17 PM

I mean look at the polls. It is playing well to his base, of which KDogg is a part of. Actually moreso than most GOP on here. He has fallen for every hoax and fake story out there.

** why did Comey meet with Senators and how has nothing been leaked yet? Interesting..

Dude, you know bloody damn well where this is going. Why do you keep asking this in earnest like you can't see the writing on the wall?

This nation is a powder keg right now, and the next time there is a Ferguson (there will be), or an ICE raid that involves the death of a child or elderly person (very likely), or a Muslim registry or a specific journalist targeted by the administration and killed, there will be protests.

And those protests will be met with the full force of the state controlled by an unhinged madman desperate to assert his power.

"there will be protests."

Leftist protests/riots aka George Soros parades are meaningless to anyone outside of the groupthink participants.

You riot when a black cop shoots a black thug resisting arrest in Charlotte
You riot when a thug fighting for a cops gun gets shot in Ferguson
You protest when that taxpayers no longer have to fund your birth control
You riot when someone you don't like wins a democratic election
You riot when a gay jew tries to exercise free speech at Berkley

I don't care how many crazy cat lady leftist bloggers write opinion pieces calling your gullible marxist parades "powerful" and "brave"... nobody outside of your groupthink cares about leftist "protests".

So....yeah....the media will be fine.

Comparing protests in the US to "protests" in Syria is comical. Is our CIA going to back foreign born militants disguised as protesters in the US with financing, small arms, anti-tank devices, and satellite intelligence, while the Russians provide Trump with air support?
