A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

"A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media"

If nothing else you are one step closer to admitting the media is the enemy by referring to them as the opposition, you could also supplant "media" with the word "party" in the next mea culpa
Please stop The media is all that's between this mentally sick thief and the American people

It's the media that's sick with having to put a spin on everything. I read earlier that Clinton passed some law in 1997 that allows them to lie with impunity.

I'm thinking that could be repealed.
You cannot have a free press without having one that is legally allowed to lie, the problem isn't even people who believe they don't lie, the problem is when they become part of one party setting upon the other while posing as neutral...that is when you no longer have a free press
 
Mind your own business

It is my business and so is the rest of the Americans that didn't vote for this dude. He is my president and I would like to know if he is crooked or honest leader.
Where is his money coming from?


We already know.....the New York times stated there was no collusion.........moron.

So where is his tax returns? Your can dodge however you want but in reality he is hiding something sinister. Dude. Get real.
EXACTLY If he was honest and above board why not show them????? Answer ,,,because he can't, the lying dishonest sneak is afraid

Why didn't Hillary release her medical records? Why didn't Obama release his school transcripts and papers?

Using your logic they were hiding something sinister.

Hillary released her medical records.
Both Trump and Obama never released their school transcripts records.

What is you point?
 
That proves what?


Nothing, nothing.....sorry to wake you up.....Go back to sleep......LOL

Trump will not release his taxes for two obvious reasons. First, he is not worth anything near what he claims. I have read that experts at Fortune estimate 3 to 4 billion, instead of the 12 billion he claims. Second, he does not want it out in print that he has carried forward losses for years, and has not paid any taxes since his last bankruptcy. I suspect that he also does not want America to know how much conflict of interest he has in his business dealings with other nations. The Russian thing is also a factor. I just read that Putin is probably the richest man in the world.

Bill Gates supposedly has long way to go to catch the real richest man in the world

the only reason he needs not to release his tax returns is that he has no legal obligation to do so

Incorrect. The ONLY reason he doesn't release his tax returns because he is hiding something. Period.
Since when it is acceptable that a president of a free world hide where his income are coming from?
Is this mean he is as crooked as Syrian dictator Assad, Saddam Husein or Kim Jung un?




White House Petition Demanding Trump Release Tax Returns Gets Over 1 Million Signatures

White House Petition Demanding Trump Release Tax Returns Gets Over 1 Million Signatures
It's unclear if the White House will respond.
02/21/2017 05:37 pm ET

A petition on the White House website demanding the immediate release of President Donald Trump’s tax returns received more than 1 million signatures.
The petition, which closed Sunday, asks the federal government to “immediately release Donald Trump’s full tax returns, with all information needed to verify emoluments clause compliance.”

“The unprecedented economic conflicts of this administration need to be visible to the American people, including any pertinent documentation which can reveal the foreign influences and financial interests which may put Donald Trump in conflict with the emoluments clause of the Constitution,” the description of the petition says.

The White House petition system, which President Barack Obama’s administration created in 2011 to increase government accessibility, requires the White House to provide an official response within 60 days if a petition garners at least 100,000 signatures.

Someday, when you grow up and learn a bit more of the lexicon, you too might understand the meaning of "opposition" ......For your sake, keep your hope alive.
 
what's the possible reason ?


Reading comprehension issues............The possible reason is that Trump will soon face other major leaks about his administration's former involvement with the Russians, and the preemptive measure Trump is taking is to smear media outlets before these reports become public.

His 1/3 base will stick by him no matter what......but the remaining 2/3 will see through his charades.
"possible reason" by that you mean in my opinion, with absolutely nothing to back it up except for other biased opinions. Yeah that's totally feasible.

No, like the CIA and the FBI are recovering hard evidence that the M15 officer's Trump Dossier is accurate, and reflects the truth about Trump and the Russians. In which case Republicans will have to decide whether to impeach him now or impeach him later.
 
if you can tell me exactly how anyone is silencing any member of the press then go for it

words mean things or didn't you know that?

Do you know what to silence someone can mean? Or are you deliberately playing dumb?

I know what it actually means and no one is being silenced

verb
  1. 1.
    cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking.
    "the team's performance silenced their critics"
    synonyms: quiet, hush, shush; More

if you are trying to say that Trump is making more difficult for journalists to report then I would agree but that in no way even comes close to silencing them

like I said words mean things

I don't care. What the fuck ever. Be all pedantic. It doesn't bother me. I'm just getting fed up with people who come on here looking for little scrappy fights over nothing all the time.

EXCUSE the fuck out of me if I'm not as sloppy in my language usage as you and the rest of the morons here

It's a shame people don't care about being precise with their language. It's hard to speak truth if you refuse to use words properly

WTF? This isn't about being careless with words. This is about someone who refuses to understand that words have different meanings in different contexts and then having a hissy fit because people have used the word in a manner he doesn't like or want it to be used in.

Really ? I've held a Top Secret SCI security clearance and do you know what I knew about what the FBI and CIA did ? jackshit.

Funny thing how all this is being pushed out there after Trump has talked of revamping the security community. I'm going to use a Liberal trick and pull an assumption out of my ass that the Intel groups are worried about job security.
 
Please show me where that has happened any more than it did under Obamacareless.


it wouldn't make ANY difference to you...Your brain is already fried with "orange pixie dust".
He's trying to get them to stop presenting OPINIONS as FACT.

Again....so that even the abject stupidity of a right wingers can figure it out.............

the American public should be allowed to discern fake news from legitimate news....We DO NOT NEED an orange charlatan to "protect" us from making our own distinction......

Of course, if Trump's ego cannot stand ANY criticism, then by all means let his administration lap dogs begin wearing brown shirts.

Sorry, but your sorry little rebuttals stink as bad as the rest of your posts.

You think Trump is protecting you ?????? Or us ??????????

Trump is simply battling with the press over what they print. That is his right.

If you think he can pull something off without someone knowing about it, please post it so we can laugh at you harder than we already do.

No, this investigation has been going on for some time, but unlike the phony email investigation, this is going on low key.

Republicans want Trump gone just as bad as Democrats. They're just taking their time and giving Trump all the rope he needs to hang himself. The guy his hopeless, hapless and useless. He is providing a needed distraction while the Republicans loot the treasury on behalf of millionaires, and dismantle Obamacare.
 
The United States President says that the media should be required to list their sources in any story they publish, which obviously conflicts with the first amendment, and you are not even a little bit concerned about the loss of your constitutional rights. Ok. I will do my best, through resistance, to protect those rights for you.


Damn, I guess I missed where the 1st said freedom of a false, slanderous press. But then I haven't seen you out defending the free speech rights of preachers speaking about political topics form the pulpit either.

That is a curious twist that you are taking here, but I will play along. Preachers can say anything they want, including political endorsements, as long as they are willing to give up their tax exemptions.


So if their speech can be abridged I guess the press can too. Funny how that works, the founders enlisted the help of preachers during the revolution to help bring people around for independence and modern politicians try to silence them. But to this point I haven't seen Trump try to silence anyone. Go figure.

Can't imagine why modern politicians want to silence preachers


I'll give you three guesses which party came up with it and are still pushing it.


It was the Revenue Act of 1954.... please tell us again who you THINK created the speech limitation for 501c3's which is what Churches and other Charities are under, and political speech restricted under, if they want the tax write off/tax exemption.... :rolleyes:



And it actually got it's beginnings from Andrew Carnegie, an (R)...who pretty much started the philanthropy giving/causes movement and felt if you could give donors to a charity a tax write off, then churches and other charities would get more donations and if you could make charities tax exempt, more good could come of the donations towards the good causes/charities.

And btw, when we first started allowing Corporations to form, we completely restricted Corporations from any and all political speech and State Governments would revoke their Corporation status if they involved themselves at all...in any way, in politics or political causes....

my my oh my, how we have changed.... :eek:

Well, you got the year right.

The amendment was to a bill in the 83rd Congress, H.R. 8300, which was enacted into law as the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The amendment was proposed by Senator Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas on July 2, 1954. (Johnson would later serve as President from 1963 to 1969.) The amendment was agreed to without any discussion or debate and included in Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (Aug. 16, 1954, ch. 736).[5] It was considered uncontroversial at the time, and continued to be included in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 enacted during the Ronald Reagan administration.[6]

Most right wingers who are now stuck with the Trumpster have NO choice but to condone all of the excesses this clown is imposing on our democracy.....and that is too bad; brainwashing is never pleasant to watch.

However, the current administration is well aware that there are very damaging leaks about the Trump administration dealings with Russian thugs just waiting to be exposed in the upcoming weeks (and probably some of these leaks will be from the Russians themselves in their quest to ridicule the current status of U.S. standing in the world's eyes.)

Given these realities, the oval office has launched a preemptive strike against our own media outlets (labeling them fake news) in order to "cushion" the blow of what these media outlets will soon reveal.

Whenever any organization is beleaguered by an onslaught of controversy, the organization retreats into its bunkers hoping that the controversy will be overshadowed by a more important exigency.

Ultimately this sham of an administration will not be brought down by so-called liberals, but by sane republicans who would rather lose a battle than a more devastating war launched by a charlatan under their banner.

We will be facing very nasty and contentious springtime months..

Trump Aide Reince Priebus Asked FBI to Knock Down Russia Stories

The RUSSIANS!!!!! Idiot left loon tries to keep the false narrative going...

Shady Left-Wing Operative Kicked Out Of CPAC For Handing Out Russian Flags

DC: A left-wing political operative with a history of shady activities was kicked out of CPAC on Friday after he distributed Russian flags to audience members ahead of President Trump’s speech there.

Some news outlets reported that CPAC attendees were waving the flags as if they were pro-Russia.

But the reports left out the fact that a veteran political hatchet man named Ryan Clayton actually distributed the flags, which bore the name “Trump” on them.

Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe first pointed out on social media that Clayton distributed the flags. The Daily Mail’s David Martosko confirmed that CPAC removed him from the venue.

Clayton is the head of Americans Take Action, a mysterious left-wing activist group that seeks to reform the electoral system. He is also the executive director of Wolf PAC, a progressive political action committee that was founded by Cenk Uygar, the founder of the popular online show, The Young Turks.

Clayton has a long history questionable political shenanigans.

Well now, Sassy, if that is the case, then it is doubly funny. Apparently your young 'Conservatives' that are cheering the orange clown, are so fucking stupid that they don't recognize the Russian flag. LOL
