• Trump is ok with Russian bounties on US troops

    From Dan Cross@3:770/100 to All on Tue Jun 30 00:32:42 2020
    Apparently he was briefed in March.

    But...big daddy Putin needs pleasin' so he's
    ok with the Russians paying bounties for American
    heads in Afghanistan. I'm sure Lee Lofaso is ok
    with that, too.

    Don't ever presume to talk about being "pro military"
    again if you're a Trump supporter, nor to even mention
    the word "Benghazi."

    I know dozens of vets who are Trump supporters. You can't speak for the entire military.

    I'm sure you know dozens of POGs who spent time CONUS
    or were fobbits. Congratulations.

    Obama's skeleton collection won't even fit in a closet, so there's no
    need to bring up Benghazi.

    Liar. You right-wing sheep have been bleating about
    Benghazi for years now. Well, Trump's got something
    way worse than that. When can we expect HIM to sit
    for 11 hours on the House floor under questioning?

    You -- yes, you specifically, but all who share your
    vile ideology -- are members of a death cult. You're
    also all hypocrites.

    How can one possibly think that this clown is a good president?

    I like him because he's on the same side of issues as me, and he cares more about the US economy than foreign economies, which is more than I can say
    about the previous 3 presidents. Clowning around is ok as long as work comes first.

    From the first day he behaved like a kid. He created the term
    "Altenative Facts" when he (and his staff) were caught lying.

    The media can't be trusted. We've seen them twist the truth to hurt the president dozens if not hundreds of times. One of the most irritating
    examples is the asian lady from CBS asking the president something, and his answer was "Go ask China" and she was like "Why? Because I'm asian?"

    Or he opens the coal industry back up, which was somewhat closed due to
    health concerns, then the media starts saying stuff like "More coal related deaths expected as Trump re-opens the coal industry." <- That's fake news.

    Democrats own the media. The only explanation for all the negative media coverage of Trump is that the media seeks to elect a Democrat this year.

    Our media is similar to that of North Korea. They have an agenda, and the agenda is not to report the news.

    I'm talking about WWII, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq veterans. Thanks for
    the jargon lesson, but those words are too big for my Trump supporting brain.

    Liar. You right-wing sheep have been bleating about
    Benghazi for years now. Well, Trump's got something

    Whatever way you look at the Benghazi mishap, it made Hillary unfit for the Oval Office through the eyes of voters. We don't vote for people with a
    history of ignoring life-saving phone calls or a history of keeping
    classified information on a GoDaddy server.

    You -- yes, you specifically, but all who share your
    vile ideology -- are members of a death cult. You're
    also all hypocrites.

    What's vile about me siding with war veterans who support Trump? Hillary & Obama let Syrians gas children for years. Within months of Trump's presidency he put a foot in their asses for it. The spirits of the dead are still
    waiting for your Democrats to step in and help.

    ...but you're cool with him throwing American troops' lives
    away as long as Putin doesn't get called out.

    Do you believe everything the NY Post has to say?

    It's not just them. And it is hardly likely that "Democrats own all the media" including those in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia,
    Canada, Chile and Argentina.

    Especially those who try their best only to report fact-checked
    information as free from bias as possible, have merely said, the
    possibility of Trump knowing about this is currently being investigated. ("Der Spiegel", Germany)

    So I believe it is you, who should not believe every brain fart this clown tweets.

    Do you derive this from his 2-word-phrases like "America First"? The
    only thing that was "good for the economy" was money on loan that
    boosted stocks - most likely those he and his family hold.

    It depends on what you call "good." If you scroll back, conservatives have posted lengthy lists of things Trump's administration has done for our
    economy. But instead of being grateful, you're taking 2 knees for Anderson Cooper.

    Not our media. And certainly not the public media. Usually you do not
    get to work in the media when believing "alternative facts"

    What's public media? Each news network is either left or right; none are neutral. Are you talking about publicly broadcast media like CBS/NBC/etc?
    They all chose sides too. Telemundo even choses sides - and they are the
    fakest of all. They have illegal immigrants to appeal to - so it wouldn't
    help them much if they said anything good about Trump.

    The only explanation for the negative media all over the world is, that Trump is simply an idiot.

    Who's the idiot? The president, or thousands of people who live their lives in negativity because of the things he said?

    If you hate Trump, be glad about term limits. It's just a phase. We'll all be sucking up to China & Iran again some day, just be patient & have your money ready.

    If you reduce it to boost stocks by taking loans which means on the longer run reducing purchasing power in general, then yes you could make a few republicans happy for a couple of months or years.
    But as the great Henry Ford taught us: the even larger part of a working economy, the one that made America so successful is, that people were able
    to afford the cars they produced. Trump ignored it resp. possesses no knowledge of such things with so many letters, but yet enough shrewdness
    like his voters.
    That's his talent, make stupid people vote for him for things that
    influence their lives to the worse. No health insurance, less stability,
    less accessible education (best thing for a Trump).
    Again: easy false messages that are pleasant ("...builduh graaate wooool
    and make Magsiko pay forrid...").
    And now? 2 billion spent on that thing. No cent paid by Mexico. Illegal immigration on the highest levels since recording.
    But the hillbillies don't just not care - they do not believe this obvious fact.
    Trump's second weapon.

    Not our media. And certainly not the public media. Usually you do not
    get to work in the media when believing "alternative facts"

    What's public media? Each news network is either left or right; none are neutral. Are you talking about publicly broadcast media like CBS/NBC/etc?

    Luckily I consume media from many different countries and I work with data
    in a business environment. So I can understand facts that are more complex than "Great thing! Will make Uhmuhrica great again."
    Public media are those that are not run by private companies. In Germany
    the constitution guarantees that such media exist and must not be
    influenced by politics. Not perfect, but that makes them a reliable, since verifiable source of information (not opinion).
    Their coverage was just as distant and neutral regarding Trump as it was regarding Obama. Even when he started with his very first lie - just as
    many people had been there at his inauguration as at Obama's - they just quoted him and showed the recording that it was simply a stupid lie.
    But truly, the democrats have infiltrated the German media to produce fake news, right?

    They all chose sides too. Telemundo even choses sides - and they are the fakest of all. They have illegal immigrants to appeal to - so it wouldn't help them much if they said anything good about Trump.
    The German, French, Brazilian, African or Australian media have no benefit from talking bad about Trump. Yet they do, because that clown keeps saying and doing stupid stuff.
    Simple minded people only see the foreground messages he tweets - and
    believe them. I am asking myself how much of his school time someone has
    to spend asleep to fall for that.

    The only explanation for the negative media all over the world is, that BT>> Trump is simply an idiot.

    Who's the idiot? The president, or thousands of people who live their lives in negativity because of the things he said?
    Both.

    If you hate Trump, be glad about term limits. It's just a phase. We'll all
    be sucking up to China & Iran again some day, just be patient & have your money ready.

    Term limits are in fact a very good thing for the USA. I am not so fond of Biden either and wasn't of Hillary... yet, what this country, that still
    has my sympathy, needs now is someone reliable and smart. Trump is
    neither.
