A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

[Iceweasel]

yes ,huge increase in military spending,,,,huge amounts allocated to infrastructure ,,and billions or trillions on tax reform.....where is the dump going to get this money?,,,,even repubs in office will give him the obama treatment

Cutting goverment, cutting programs, cutting foreign giveaways. Cutting taxes will also create jobs, so more money coming into our goverment.

Cutting taxes creates jobs ? Maybe but you believed in the trickle down affect years ago How'd that work out?

We need higher taxes to pay for more bureaucracy. Those right wingers are nuts.

They don't get it, cut federal funding to planned parenthood would save about 500 million a year alone.

Do you realize how much many many women depend on PP for their healths needs?

...and? It can stand on its' own if it's worthwhile.

I am an American citizen exercising my first amendment rights. Clearly that disturbs you. You, I believe, were the one who used the term "opposition media", and I agree. It is a pity we've come to this.

NO, NO........I used the term, "OPPOSITION MEDIA" for a very specific purpose......If the media does not act as an opposition outlet, THEN they've become a mere PROPAGANDA machine.

opposition outlet for whom ?

And they can get the same help without funding abortions....

abortions are a tiny part of what they do

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..

Your russian hate is so funny, when I contrast it to the why you lefties were during the Cold War, when they were actually a threat.

They are an even bigger threat now, than during the entire cold war...they have threatened us with nuclear annihilation in 2014, yes your beloved Putin, with setting off their new underwater nuke, near our coast to set off a 500 ft Tsunami hitting all of our major cities....they are threatening all of our allies in the EU....they are in bed with Iran, they are influencing elections throughout the EU and here and elsewhere THAT belong to NATO to WEAKEN THEM....so that Russia can be stronger, and not out of love for us, for goodness sake, INFORM YOUR SELF.

Yes....obama allowed all of that.......remember, he told putin, through Medvedev that after his second election he would be able to give the Russians a lot more......

They are a bigger threat NOW then when they had ten thousand tanks in the middle of Germany and an ideology that called for world conquest?


LOL!!



This was the Cold WAR. When you lefties were always poo pooing us conservatives who were concerned.

This is today.

I can see why you lefties suddenly found your courage.

 

[bodecea]

You mean liberal fake news? Or liberal very fake news?

See? You're a good German.

No....it is the biggest money maker for them......they hide it in their billing...but they make more money off killing babies than everything else......

And if you are right and I am wrong..then they can make their money doing everything except killing babies....right? Right?

We need higher taxes to pay for more bureaucracy. Those right wingers are nuts.

It is estimated that every millionaire will receive a $300,000 (or more) tax cut....while the average low, middle class family will receive a $200 tax cut.....You figure out the parity of Trump's tax plan.

 

[washamericom]

do the russians know about this ?

Russia has ONE objective in mind........To ridicule our dominance as a world power; to make our friends distrust us (as the Trump administration certainly has)......

Russia likes to "fish in troubled waters" and Russia has no love for Trump and will use him to show how UN-unified our country has become.

you're putting too much importance in russia. we still have great representation on both sides in America.

Women have obam care now. No need to fund it. Anyway planned parenthood is nothing but a killing factory.

You of course assume he's trying to silence them.

Question?

What make the media think they are above criticism?

Since we don't know exactly what his plan is.....you can't say either......and so? The millionaires are paying vast amounts in taxes to greedy politicians...I would rather they keep their money and invest it...which makes jobs and goods and services that everyone uses..vs. greedy politicians who use it to increase their own power....

The press has always relied on leaks and inside information from unnamed sources to develop stories. Some turn out to be unfounded and others and others turn into major scandals.

That process is what Trump is trying to squash

he couldn't stop it when the hillary journalists favored hillary during the campaign.

Very true.......$500 million will build about 20 miles of the infamous WALL, and fuck all those women who need breast cancer prevention......Correct? Priorities?

(WHY do you right wing morons FORGET about the Hyde Amendment regarding abortions???)

Hopefully bringing back trillions from overseas will be a big help for our economy

Lol, you do realize Clinton sold our missle secrets to China?

Knowgood are you really Kellyanne?

You col. Wilhem Klink? I know nothing! Lol

 

[nat4900]

I'd call him more libertarian than conservative but he wants to put power back in our hands, leftists want power to go to the globalists. Global socialism

Just out of curiosity, why don't you list ALL of Trump's global enterprises and then come back and tell us how Trump "hates" globalism.

They don't have the scanners to look for breast cancer. Please try again. Anyway they have Obama care now, go to a gynecologist.
