The Return of #Fake News Rants

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Sun May 28, 2017 9:53 am

Now that Donald Trump is back in the USA, presumably recovered from his hard work of pushing aside the rulers of small countries and having his hand painfully shook by a ruler of a somewhat larger country, he's back at it again, talking about the avalanche of "fake news" about his administration in general and Jared Kushner in particular. It's worth remembering this quote (spread over two tweets):
Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media and they don't mention names, ... it is very possible that those sources don't exist and are made up by fake news writers. #Fakenews is the enemy.
Trump on August 6, 2012:
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.
I guess you can't trust "sources" (in this case "US officials briefed on intelligence reports") but you can trust "extremely credible sources." By the way, my understanding is that stories like this in the Washington Post or New York Times require three separate sources who would have reason to know what they are talking about. That's one reason there's a delay in reporting these... it's the time needed to get additional corroboration. Apparently, in the Trump administration, there's a whole lot more than three people willing to talk.

The only time Trump tells the truth is when he's trying to lie and is mistaken.

And neither are you as there is no President Drumpf, or whatever childish terms you dream up. And President Trump has never gone by the name Donnie, either. So you'll agree that both you and Bobbie both have no credibility.

Oh dear. Did I offend your sensibilities by referring to the party of democrats as the democrat party? Oh, I'm so sorry. I should have called it the Socialist Bigot Party.

But he has referred to a United States Senator at a public gathering as "Pocahantas," which in my mind forfeits any claim to having his own name referred to with dignity. I won't use those other terms out of respect for the office, which is more than the current officeholder has, but I won't criticize those who do.

This is funny, particularly in this thread.

Sen. Warren grew up in Oklahoma, where I now live and know many Native Americans. The senator is better known around here as "Fauxcahontas" because real Native Americans hold their Indian ancestry with great pride and would not wish to insult the original Pocahontus. According to people who went to high school with her in Oklahoma City, she never claimed any native heritage at the time. She since has told a story about her grandmother noting her "high cheek bones" or somesuch, but she has produced no evidence -- no great grandparent listed on the Dawes Rolls, the official list of members of the Five Civilized Tribes, no old photograph of an ancestor with apparent native dress, jewelry or "appearance", no mention on a census for generations past, nor old family letters that mentioned a tribal connection or so much as having lived in a town with a high concentration of a native population. Her "proof", besides the grandmother remark, consists of having ticked check-boxes on forms that would provide her with some benefit starting in her college years or shortly thereafter.

My perception, in short, is that Elizabeth Warren is held in much lower esteem around here than she is in the nation at large, and that's not saying all that much. "Real" Oklahoma Indians are largely annoyed by her, probably not as much because she claims heritage that isn't her own, but that she has used it to gain access to organizations, publicity, and employment for her own personal gain -- possibly taking away some of those opportunities from a qualified person who can prove his or her Native American ancestry.

Come on, SSS. If you want to convince us that anybody is not a liar, why don't you start with an easier subject -- Hillary, maybe?

I am rooting for Pokey Warren to get nominated for President. While she is one of the champions of the Socialist Bigot Wing of the democrat party who is younger than 100, she is the one person I can think of who is more annoying to listen to than Billory Clinton. .. Well there is Maxie Waters, too. Oh yeah, and Nancy Perogi. But Pocahantas is right up there.

This new thing where it is ok to make up cool nicknames for politicians is fun. It might be one of those things that is only ok for dems to do, and anyone else gets called an -ist or -phobe for. I don't know.

There is a big difference between you and the Pastor or a crowd in Oklahoma making up nicknames for politicians and the President of the United States doing so.

Trump has lowered the level of the presidency right into the gutter and turned the United States into the laughing stock of the world in only four months, which apparently is fine by you as long as he nominates a right wing judge or two.

I'm not trying to convince you that Warren is or isn't a liar. What should be evident to anyone is that the President of the United States should not be descending to the level of people like Flock and the Pastor and trotting out snide little nicknames for United States Senators.

Ronald Reagan and both Bushes were able to make their points without wallowing in the gutter the way Trump does. He demeans the Presidency every day and he demeans the status of the United States in the world every day. And that is going to come back to hurt us in terms of working out trade deals and fighting against terrorism.

Uh, What about Bobby-boy? You conveniently left him out when he started this trend on the bored. I disagreed with most of what President Obama did and stood for. Never once did I disrespect him or his office.
As I suspected, this is just another one of these things that dems and liberals can get away with because they believe they are all knowing and all caring and the rest of us are just redneck scum, right, SSS?

My disrespect for Donny has nothing to do with his politics. Are you really saying that someone who brags about his ability to grab women by the genitals with impunity deserves respect?

I've listened to far too many friends and family describe the abuse they've suffered, in sometimes graphic detail, to confuse abuse for consensual relationships. And if you can't tell the difference, that just means you've been fortunate enough never to hear similar stories. I hope your luck continues. --Bob

Yea, shame on the media for reporting on the things that Trump is doing that are actively harming the country, rather than obsessing on rumors about his birth certificate or conspiracy theories about what went wrong in Benghazi for years. And shame on the Dems for wanting a healthcare plan that actually tries to get healthcare for people rather than take it out of the reach of millions.

I don't have a problem with that, but enough of the reporting on stupid stuff like how he prefers his steak. Today's excoriation of Ivanka for suggesting a holiday dessert was ridiculous and hypocritical beyond all reason.

Oh, yes, SSS. Shame on the media for deciding what's news and reporting it based on their narrative on what's good and what's bad (which coincidentally pretty much matches the democrat party's narrative). Do you find it the least bit interesting that CNN and NBC report negatively on Trump 93% of the time? http://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-banni ... very-issue

If they were so inclined, they could have been just as negative on President Obama. If they were reporting fairly, and had any clue or empathy about a conservative point of view, there would be no problem. But the MSM is so obviously biased, it can't help itself. All the mainstream outlets report the news from the same liberal world view.

Could it be that Trump is right about the media? Or are they retaliating against him?

Maybe the Monica Lewinsky affair was consensual, but it still fits the legal description of workplace sexual harassment. Or is that not applicable to democrats? But what about Juanita Broaddrick? Kathleen Willey? Paula Jones? Well, Hillary says that sexual assault accusers must be believed, except when they're trailer trash. Apparently, you subscribe to the same hypocrisy.
And as was pointed out before, no one died in a submerged car, as far as we know, due to Trump's stupid rant.

I'm not saying Trump was right in what he said, but I am sick to death of the hypocrisy of the left. Either Trump gets the same benefit of the doubt that you give Clinton, the Kennedys and so many others, or you need to look down on these people as much as you do Trump.

While she is one of the champions of the Socialist Bigot Wing of the democrat party who is younger than 100, she is the one person I can think of who is more annoying to listen to than Billory Clinton. .. Well there is Maxie Waters, too. Oh yeah, and Nancy Perogi. But Pocahantas is right up there.

This new thing where it is ok to make up cool nicknames for politicians is fun. It might be one of those things that is only ok for dems to do, and anyone else gets called an -ist or -phobe for. I don't know.

Just please don't go down the "pastor's" apparent path of spending far too much time copying scribblings from the walls of middle-school boys' restrooms for inspiration.

Or could it be that just as George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and other Republicans warned, Trump is hopelessly incompetent and has screwed this job up so badly that his own supporters feel obligated to leak the details to the media in the hopes that Trump will finally see something he understands.

Where do you have any proof of this? If you know who the leakers are we better get you in touch with the Justice Department.

No, it doesn't. An essential element of a sexual harassment claim is that the attention must be unwelcome. No one has ever claimed the attention in that case was unwelcome.

Was the relationship inappropriate? Of course. But there's a world of difference between that and the sexual assault that Donny bragged about committing. To minimize it as "not right in what he said," and to show Donny respect merely because he has attained high political office, perpetuates an atmosphere in which victims of sexual assault cannot possibly have confidence that an outcry will result in justice. --Bob
