Not sure where to put this and I didn't want to start a thread on a passing topic

President Trump called for a new law barring immigrants from receiving welfare for at least five years at a rally on Wednesday.

 

The problem is -----

neither Trump nor nearly 6,000 of his die-hard supporters seemed to realize that

 

the law has already existed for more than 20 years.

While Trump is easily enough of an idiot to not know this, I wouldn't be surprised if he said this just to troll the left into showing their ignorance of the existing law as well.

The New York Post is reporting that a Washington research firm of former journalists were behind the salacious Russian/Trump dossier:

describes itself as a “research and strategic intelligence firm” founded by “three former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters.” But congressional sources says
it’s actually an opposition-research group for Democrats, and the founders, who are more political activists than journalists, have a pro-Hillary, anti-Trump agenda.
“These weren’t mercenaries or hired guns,” a congressional source familiar with the dossier probe said. “These guys had a vested personal and ideological interest in smearing Trump and boosting Hillary’s chances of winning the White House.”

 

 

 

 

The fact is that that firms creating opposition research are often staffed with former journalists, who use their connections in the editorial world to redistribute this sort of thing. (Naturally, there are “right-leaning” as well as “left-leaning” firms of this sort.) Work in a newsroom long enough and you’ll begin to recognize “oppo” when you see it.

Sadly, a number of journalists who were laid off by big news outfits and can’t find work elsewhere have resorted to doing this kind of work. As news organizations cut back on reporting, it’s easier than ever to get “oppo” published as news without sufficient fact-checking.

TRUMP COUNTER PUNCHES: Trump continues to accuse Obama of failing to respond to Russian hacking and election meddling.

Trump on Obama’s lack of action:

“If he had the information, why didn’t he do something about it? He should have done something about it. But you don’t read that. It’s quite sad.”

 

 

 

Trump has his critics in a bind. If the election meddling was so terrible, then Obama was incompetent and negligent. If it wasn’t so significant, then why the sustained hand wringing and pearl clutching?

Because he said kitty! :angry:

That's why, say the young and old women with purple hair wearing full body vagina costumes. codepink.jpg

He also called Rosie and a beauty pageant contestant "fat". :angry: :angry:

And he won and Hillary isn't president :angry: :angry: :angry:

 

I think that's it in a nutshell. And believe me, there are a lot of nuts out there that think just about along those lines.

CNN, not letting minor things like the truth get in the way of a good story... until they get caught.

 

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/latest-3-cnn-journalists-resign-over-retracted-story-000657472.html

 

 

CNN says it has accepted the resignations of three employees involved in a retracted story about a supposed investigation into a pre-inaugural meeting between an associate of President Donald Trump and the head of a Russian investment fund.

 

The story was posted Thursday on CNN's website. It was retracted the next night, and CNN apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump transition team member named in the story.

Do people actually sit there and watch the 45 minutes of content of a political show any more?

Some actually do. I hear Frump sits and watches Fox News for most of the day.

 

Also, Hannity has a "enormously huge" following on the radio which is on all the time. I scan the radio dial when avoiding commercials and I hear his voice multiple times at all hours.

Okay.... doesn't mean anyone is really listening or watching for large blocks though.

Hey... Trumpster made the cover of Time back in 2009:

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-time-magazine-with-trump-on-the-cover-hangs-in-his-golf-clubs-its-fake/2017/06/27/0adf96de-5850-11e7-ba90-f5875b7d1876_story.html?utm_term=.a963c084d6d9

 

This one is better. Not as fake:

"Karem, who also writes a regular political column for Playboy magazine, told BuzzFeed News he spoke up during the briefing because he became frustrated "over the tainting all of us with the brush of 'fake news' and total disrespect for what we do."

 

"When we make mistakes, we issue corrections, people get fired, there are consequences. I've yet to see any consequences for this administration," he said."

In an attempt to mock the US press Frump pulls a faux pas.

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/06/28/i-bet-she-treats-you-well-trump-calls-over-irish-reporter-compliments-her-nice-smile/?utm_term=.9d7723d943ac

 

“She has a nice smile on her face so I bet she treats you well,” Trump said.

 

Perry, along with other men and women in the room, casually laughed at the encounter. But later, Perry described it as a “bizarre moment.”
