You OWN the corner market on pretending. Your shit is for sale here almost everyday in your ridiculous threads so please excuse me while I laugh so hard I snort.I don’t give a shit about Waters, but nothing she says is nearly as vile as what some republicans say. Mainly, the white nationalists running for office. You can pretend they don’t exist all you want, but reality is what it is.Coward can't answer the question.You desperately want to make a false equivalency but it’s non sense like every other false equivalency you asshats say regarding the left and right.What do you think of the shit Maxine Waters and other Democrats like her say?
Do you consider it equally dangerous?
With the things he is saying to a base that is full of several conspiracy nutjobs, Trump is going to get a journalist killed, and then what? He is going to be sued for everything he owns, and he should be found guilty for it. MSNBC reporter Katy Tur reported this week how someone wrote her saying she should be raped and killed, followed by MAGA. We've already seen what Trump's supporters are capable of when one who believed Alex Jones Pizzagate shot up Comet Ping-Pong Pizza. It is the JOB of the news to hold the government and its official responsible for what they say and do. When Trump blatantly lies every couple of minutes, it is the media's job to point it out. The founders of the U.S. put the freedom of the press into the very first Amendment of the Constitution for a reason, it is fundamentally imperative to having a true democracy.
James Madison very clearly stated this when he wrote:
"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
A couple from Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Constitution:
"I am ... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents."
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe."
So self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservatives, why are you not defending the Constitution and the forethought of those who took part in creating it? Why are you still backing Trump who obviously isn't respecting the glue that put this country together? And before you say the press is lying and not reporting the truth, please educate yourself, as the Founders knew there would always be press that would explore the fringe of truth. They said that ALL press must still be protected by the Constitution, because once you start taking away the freedom of the press from some you feel is being untruthful, it becomes subjective and the freedom of press as a whole will suddenly be at risk.
In large part -- no Founding Father watching the political sewage that passes for journalism today would agree with you using their quotes. In the early days of the Republic, the press dug for nasty dirt. It was usually true and EVERYONE agreed the nasty acts were bad.
Those "journalists" complaining about the heat they pour gas on everyday need to check themselves. Mostly, their organizations are now "political advocacy groups" and should be subject to the rules for such advocacy. THEY have already gotten people shot and threatened and nearly wiped out the GOP softball team.
If THEY want to create a "war zone" in America -- they better buckle up the flak jackets. Because they are not "innocent principled bystanders"...
Totally wrong, as I also posted their logic. Once you start picking and choosing those who you THINK is not reporting the truth, it becomes subjective and the foundation behind the freedom of the press is no longer valid.
It's been posted in this thread now, but a Trump supporter (Yes he admitted it on the phone) called into C-Span to say if he saw Brian Stelter or Don Lemon he would shoot them.
Now let me give a little information that some on this forum may not not. In court cases there are different standards to convict. In a murder case for example, the jury must find that the person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. That means they must be 100% positive they are guilty with no possible questions of doubt in their mind. In a civil case the level of guilt is MUCH lower. It generally is just a preponderance of evidence, which just means the plaintiff gave enough evidence to make it more than likely the defendant is liable.
So if some psycho Trump supporter kills a journalist, and says they did it because Trump told them the media is an enemy of the state, Trump can be held liable in a civil suit, because he incited someone to commit a crime. If it happens now, after journalist have warned Trump about death threats, and Trump continues with his current narrative, it is more likely than ever he would be held liable in a civil suit. He needs to get out in front of this and tell his supporters to stop, and do it now before someone gets hurt.
Winning only 46% of popular vote and 56% of the electoral vote is not a landslide regardless of Trump's outrageous claims. Trump's victory ranked 46th out of 58 U.S. presidential election victories. Trump won. He won by a clear margin, but he did not win by a landslide by any accepted definition of that term. This was probably Trump's first pants on fire lie after the election followed by a thousand more.oreo might be insane but at least he shows up, unlike many mentally ill democrats after The Donald won the Presidency in a landslide. And he apparently stopped posting the homosexual Shep Smith vid he always used to post.
As if Trump hasn't brought alol this on himself. What constitutes an "outrageous" lie? Doesn't The Donald set the benchmark?I like that Trump doesn't roll over for the press. "Dignity, high road and suffering in silence," have only emboldened the press and Hollywood to more outrageous lies. Can't take it? Don't dish it.Trump and his followers fail to understand that there is a difference between precise criticism of a reporter and saying as a group the press is the enemy of the people. If there is a story that hurts Trump's considerable yet fragile ego, he could do one of two the nags. He could deal with that specific reporter, his/her employer concentrating no on that specific story. Or, alternatively, he could act as an adult would act, respect the dignity of the office of the president of the United States and move on.
But painting journalism with a broad brush and saying journalists start wars and are dangerous begs unwarranted attacks on journalists.
Journalism can be and deserves to be criticized. But criticizing journalism as a group is wholly irresponsible.

The "Muller Investigation" is nothing but an outrageous lie. The MSM didn't instigate it.....the DNC did, but the desperate, pro-liberal Democrat, MSM keeps the story on the front burner even after nearly two years of fruitless investigation.
There are a lot of good things happening....the GDP, jobs market, defeat of ISIS, etc. that doesn't make the news. They can't report anything that would interfere with their blatant campaigning for Democrats.
It's not as simple as just lying....it's a failure to report the truth. The MSM is unable to even pretend to be neutral so they can't do the job the Founders set out for them. They've lost their credibility and Trump is right to say they have become the enemy of the people.

High treason. That's what he must be charged with. Immediately.

Trump was a businessman and there is no law against dealing with Russia. Obviously you are using big words like Treason without looking it up first.
First, you have no idea what the Mueller investigation has uncovered nor what they are doing because they can not release any information that might effect the investigation plus they're sworn to secrecy by the court. All you know about the investigation comes from leaks, opinions, and the Orange Clown crying "No Collusion" 5 times a day.As if Trump hasn't brought alol this on himself.

Trump's son met with some Russian broad as a setup stating she had dirt on Hillary. Nothing wrong with that. The others dealt with Russia unassociated with the Trump campaign or organization.
The only actual Russian collusion with evidence was the DNC and Hillary Clinton. They are the ones who got information from Russia about some phony BS on Trump which led to the surveillance warrant. It was a lie because they never told the court where the information came from or who funded it.

Look how many sick little trumpkins thin that’s funny.With the things he is saying to a base that is full of several conspiracy nutjobs, Trump is going to get a journalist killed, and then what? He is going to be sued for everything he owns, and he should be found guilty for it. MSNBC reporter Katy Tur reported this week how someone wrote her saying she should be raped and killed, followed by MAGA. We've already seen what Trump's supporters are capable of when one who believed Alex Jones Pizzagate shot up Comet Ping-Pong Pizza. It is the JOB of the news to hold the government and its official responsible for what they say and do. When Trump blatantly lies every couple of minutes, it is the media's job to point it out. The founders of the U.S. put the freedom of the press into the very first Amendment of the Constitution for a reason, it is fundamentally imperative to having a true democracy.
James Madison very clearly stated this when he wrote:
"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
A couple from Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Constitution:
"I am ... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents."
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe."
So self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservatives, why are you not defending the Constitution and the forethought of those who took part in creating it? Why are you still backing Trump who obviously isn't respecting the glue that put this country together? And before you say the press is lying and not reporting the truth, please educate yourself, as the Founders knew there would always be press that would explore the fringe of truth. They said that ALL press must still be protected by the Constitution, because once you start taking away the freedom of the press from some you feel is being untruthful, it becomes subjective and the freedom of press as a whole will suddenly be at risk.
