A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

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..

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


Yeah....normal Americans aren't obsessed with Russia......unlike the democrats who loved the Soviets all through the 90s, and obama who promised putin he would have more room to manuever after he was elected the 2nd time......
 
No President has ever had the low poll readings that the orange clown has at present this early in their term.


Yes...they were so low that hilary was going to win the Presidency by double digits........moron.

The image in your mirror is you dipshit..........

Stupid....you are calling Americans stupid....and that is how you lost the last election......Americans aren't obsessed with flags.......you guys are only obsessed with that flag to lie about Trump supporters...when you aren't shooting them, beating them or shutting down their rallies...
 
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]

Johnson Amendment - Wikipedia
Wow, who would have thunk that Johnson was religious and wanted Churches to be tax free and our donations to churches tax free?

It passed unanimously, and there was no complaint from the Churches regarding it.....

Probably because they didn't talk politics from the pulpit at the time....they spread and preached the Holy Gospel, and it wasn't until the "Moral Majority" formed and got in bed with the Republican politicians, that this all of a sudden, became a problem with Republican politicians.
 
Yeah....normal Americans aren't obsessed with Russia......unlike the democrats who loved the Soviets all through the 90s, and obama who promised putin he would have more room to manuever after he was elected the 2nd time.....

hey, moron, that was NOT Putin but Medvedev............A stupid right wing attempt caught in a lie.

Obama set the standard for bashing news. From entire stations to individual reporters, he was bashing away. You come across as a whiny punk. Obama attacked police, and he even had the audacity to tell half the country to get in back. He was a punk thug that ignored what was best for the country he was tasked with protecting and did the opposite. You lazy whiny liberals need to step up to plate. Stop physically attacking people and burning things that don't belong to you and open up your checkbook and start sponsoring illegals to live with you. Be responsible for their welfare and actions. How many Syrian's have you welcomed into your home?
 
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.


Yeah...except they didn't......and the dossier wasn't even real......
FYI the Dossier is real

US investigators corroborate some aspects of the Russia dossier
US officials corroborate aspects of dossier 05:51
Washington (CNN)For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN. As CNN first reported, then-President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama were briefed on the existence of the dossier prior to Trump's inauguration.

None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier. Rather it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.
But the intercepts do confirm that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials. CNN has not confirmed whether any content relates to then-candidate Trump.
The corroboration, based on intercepted communications, has given US intelligence and law enforcement "greater confidence" in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.

When they act like media they can be treated like media. Until then they should be treated as a political party affiliate.
Act like the media???? You mean if the ah in the WH doesn't like what they say they're all false??? If the pos doesn't get his back slapped or applause at every turn he's gonna tweet false news?
The mainstream media is biased. I wouldn't reward them either. They are a business.
 
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.

when you can show me that law that says he must then you can say that his refusal to do so means he is hiding something but then again if that law existed he would have already been compelled to release them
 
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.

who is having a hissy fit?

look in the mirror , Moron

Well, Blondi many of us are very glad you got the above "out of your system"...An impacted lower bowel is so damn dangerous.......
 
Delusion or sickness?
Trumpovitch's lies about crowd sizes, the size of electoral vote victories, fake news, thousands of jubilant Muslims or bus loads of people voting across state lines, millions of illegal voters could be called delusions, I suppose. But to call the day on which he was inaugurated as sunny when everyone else noted it was raining is not merely a delusion. It is representative of profound mental illness.
