Opinion: I doubted Jussie Smollett. It breaks my heart that I might be right.

“It breaks my heart Trump supporters aren’t roaming the streets of Chicago lynching people because I’d rather be proven right than have to confront my glaring psychological blindspots.”

it was relevant up to 1978 or thereabouts 

 

kinda like you?

 

haha..so our President wants retribution against a show making fun of him, and he repeated again the media is the enemy of the people Lets not forget  he just declared a national emergency to get his way. Now you have no issues or worries he may declare a national emergency and restrict first amendment rights  and call it  " a national emergency"???

 

If he really believes the wall is a national emergency, you don't think he thinks " an enemy of the people" is worth the same designation ?

He should definitely be quiet about it if he is going to go after political adversaries.  Clearly it won't bother anyone on the left if he just has the IRS endlessly shake down groups and individuals.

Ahh, So the standard is now...hey, Clinton buggered an intern and someone who reported to him, all Presidents should be able to do the same?

Of course not.  The standard remains what is has always been....what are standards if not permanent?  

 

1.If a conservative says something, anything, flip out because it is a clear sign that our world is about to crumble.

 2. If a lib does something, ignore it because it is only protecting us from part 1.

 

Not sure where Clintfits in but wherever he does, it's not his fault.

Damn, Yall make me cringe to call myself conservatise. You play identify/ victim politics more than any group out there, and i do mean any group.

 

Poor media is mean to us, no one likes us, there are conspiracies all around to hold out ideas in check,  people stereotype us cause we are conservative....why does no one feel sorry for us..........

Was I the one that claimed the country was crumbling because Trump got pissed about Alec Baldwin or was that you?

No, but I'm sure it was the conservatives who were triggered enough to stage resistance rallies and primal scream sit-ins, design ***** costumes, destroy private property, frame innocent people, lose any sense of common sense and perspective, all because there's an orange man in the White House.

i wanted to get more of this than the 2 minute sound byte.

 

wow, the whole interview is roughly 3 and one half hours long, she gets into a whole lot of topics.  i kind of jumped through it to get to the relevant portion but in so doing, i have discovered that i will probably listen to the whole interview, it sounds that good.  i have cued up the 'tube at the relevant position below so it starts where the whole discussion about the media begins. the 2 minute tweet sound byte is cut up so there is much more here.

 

if you back it up just a little, she is going into when this whole war in the Middle East began (it is all one war) and how Iran was fighting along side of us in Iraq against Al-Qaeda but that they were on record/tape as saying that they still wanted to kill us. it is just that it was on hold and that they couldn't wait to kill us again. if you would like to get a better understanding of what is going on, not what the MSM wants you to believe, i would recommend giving her a listen.

 

awesome stuff here.

my point was this guy has repeatedly called the press/media the Enemy of the People/State. The last president to say those types of things tried to have licenses taken away(hmm, who has brought that up again), tried to bully papers into not reporting on the truth and led him to commit several crimes down the road.

 

Logic also dictates that if Trump is willing to declare a national emergency as our country is being "invaded", a word only used in conjunction with enemies, not friends, than it stands to reason the press, ie "enemies of the people" also demands a national emergency declaration no?

 

And that my friends, is scary as all hell.

Friends?

 

Obama used the IRS. The Clintons literally kill people. Bush?

Trump sends out tweets.

 

It may be concerning, but let's get some perspective.

Do you believe the media to be the unbiased pantheon of wisdom and honesty that they claim to be and that they (on either side) do all that they can to inform the public of the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them God?

The collapse of the Russian/Trump narrative last week should be viewed as proof that the "media" (sections, not all) are indeed dishonest, controlled, and the enemy of the people. They are, in fact, mouthpieces for the IC. Like when they pushed WMD in Iraq to help bolster the case for war under false pretenses, the same outlets/reporters were behind pushing the now proven Russian/Trump hoax. 

 

This was done not to protect the people. This was done not to keep us safe. This was done because Trump is a threat - not the country, not to the people, but to the foreign policy agendas of the MiC, IC, and their pundits in both the beltway and controlled media. 

 

A coup was launched, with the assistance of the media, and it continues today. 

 

We are at war - and it is us versus them. But the "them" isn't the GOP or DNC. It isn't Trump or Clinton (or Obama or Bush). It's the uniparty cabal which has been in control of this country, and the media, for the entirety of most people posting on here's lives. 

 

Why should we trust the same people who have purposefully lied and misled us about Trump/Russia nonsense to be truthful when reporting on the scourge of human trafficking at the border (and how they directly profit from it)? 

 

...One day I'll convince you of this truth ;) :beer:

What we know is he only sends out tweets..and of course I am supposed to discern when he is lying, when he is telling the truth, when he setting a deal up, when he is just in a bad mood, when it is really Hannity talking..in other words not supposed to really know what in the hell he really means. But trust me, this is a national emergency!!!!!!

 And he has already pulled 1 press pass, threatened to take many more, threatened the licenses of several local stations, kicked reporters off his campaign trail..i would say those are all more than tweets.

 

And this nonsense that the Clintons "literally" killed people really hurts your argument.

Nope..never said I did. Think Fox has one side covered, ABC,CNN, and NBC the other. If conservatives want more stations and newspapers, start em! No one stopping anyone from doing that

 

And BTW, that preamble is when ya testify!!!!

If you're allowed to pull conspiracies out of your butt, I should be allowed to do the same. How exactly would declaring an emergency on fakenews work?

 

70% of the population thinks the media is biased. Trump calling it out is actually a nice way to try and work the problem, even if it's been ineffective so far.

My point is that, if we can agree that the media is BS then we can agree that trump calling them out isn't wrong. 

 

I don't care about bias, everyone has it. But when any entity (especially a media entity) denies their bias and claims their reporting is 100% factual and without any influence to fit their narrative, then they are the enemy of truth and subsequently, the enemy of the people. Apply that to any network you want, but the truth is obvious. 

 

That being said, Trump hasn't done anything to muzzle the media, and he never will because without them as his whipping boy he loses a ton of cred points.

One person's press pass.  Because that person forgot that a press pass isn't license to be an #######.  And his organization was not prohibited from assigning an adult in his place.

 

Obama tried to remove Fox from the pool in its entirety.

The argument that Trump pulling Acosta's pass proves he's anti free speech is ridiculous. A press pass to the white house briefings is not protected by the 1st, and Acosta is a mega douche who acted without any integrity or common sense and put his hands on someone doing their job. If he had wide-scale blocked CNN it would be a different story. He gave a child a time out when he should have had the secret service give him a spanking.

Well, he had his issues with Fox, no doubt. Never called them "enemies of the State" , That carries some real weight, and real meaning, and real history lessons.Also, I dont recall him threatening local affiliates with losing their licenses, but i could be wrong on that.

HAH, cmon, do better than that. Comet Ping Pong is running a child sex ring is just as credible. ( btw, someone lit their curtains on fire last week, but i don't know the whole story)

I have stated no conspiracies..only fears backed by history

Trump is that guy everyone pretends to get angry over for saying out loud what we're all thinking.

That man states about 50% what I think....and I agree a bit on the Acosta thing..a bit. Cant do more than that!!!!

That i cannot agree with, that prhase carries to much sordid history...And there are journalists and news readers that try as best they can to be straight shooters...Brett Baird is one, for instance, Major Garret I think as another on TV.
