Any of that stands up with documentation that survives authoritative scrutiny, Trump could not wash off the question of whether or not his organization (Bayrock, etc) is just a laundering mechanism for Eastern Europe / Central Asian kleptocracies.

Then Trump had better hurry up and implement the policies I want before all of this goes down. Shit ballz.

81405   anonymous   2017 Feb 26, 3:33pm  

He needs to throw out CNN so that they're marginalized and can't create any more divisiveness in our country. Plus, I just want many of Trump's policies to get implemented, and CNN just slows that down.

Obama did the same thing to Fox News.

The big question is....

how many in the line of succession you could simultaneously impeach and remove, because if you don't have a good answer to that, then you would be starting something that could end very badly.

I feel skeptical of major party insiders and their corporate media enablers suddenly praising Mike Pence as an alternative to the POTUS. Pence has long built a reputation as a holy rolling crusader. His disciplined demeanor might reassure some people, but he would probably not even have got re-elected Governor, let alone VP, without Donald Trump. Remember Bob Woodward interviewing George W Bush about the decision to invade Iraq?

"Did Mr. Bush ask his father for any advice? "I asked the president about this. And President Bush said, 'Well, no,' and then he got defensive about it," says Woodward. "Then he said something that really struck me. He said of his father, 'He is the wrong father to appeal to for advice. The wrong father to go to, to appeal to in terms of strength.' And then he said, 'There's a higher Father that I appeal to.'"

America doesn't need another crusader, no matter how lucrative that would be for some MIC procurement contractors including deep state consultants. A lot of this appears driven by interests that want ultimately to spread Sunni Islam. Their media megaphones are blaring about how we must submit to importing more Muslims who would kill atheists like Ayaan Hirsi Ali as they murdered Theo van Gogh. The Democrats campaigned on shooting down Russian planes within seconds' flying time of Armageddon, and killing Russians in Syria.

We should rather continue with the POTUS the voters elected.

I kinda like Trump, mostly for his audacity. I admire that.

Spicer should absolutely figure out who is leaking and fire them.

I would think if this were true, you would be able to find a non Trump supporting person to agree with you ? Is it possible that what you're experiencing has more to do with your own bias ?

The big question is if the rest of the Taj story will make it out of FinCEN archives and if there is any connection with the Kazakh and Russian mobs laundering enterprises.

This is why Lyndon Johnson wanted to become President and to have Kennedy dead. Kennedy was ready to shitcan Johnson and throw him to the dogs in his second term. Johnson would have been indicted and imprisoned for all of his previous corruption, but the Presidency sanctifies everything that came before through omission, intimidation, and black bag ops.

Somebody would have to catch Trump in something while actually holding office.

Okay. Well the fact that CNN is there to make money is nothing new. Btw, I don't watch CNN or read it's website. But I know this trend in media is nothing new. I found that analysis really annoying for several reasons. He takes a legit commentary about the negative impact of social media as an indictment of the guy implying it is the only problem with how we get our news. Also, he repeatedly wants to make the point that CNN gave so much more attention to Trump than to Bernie. Hey at least the media is moving in the right direction of giving some attention to Bernie. I recall the media en mass not being willing to consider Rand PAul a legit candidate. In the case of Bernie, I believe that right or wrong it was believed impossible that he could win. Trump they also believed could not win, but that was entertainment.

So the guy found a couple small examples, like the guy saying that reading stolen emails was a crime, when it is and yet it isn't, becasue they are freely available. But back to this ? Interesting that repeating that example and I think one other trivial error was the best he could do.

CBOEtrader says

Easy.

1)Leave out your opinionated "again" part.

2)Offer the entire quote and video content.

3)Stop willfully misinterpreting Trump's every word.

4)Report the facts only and let your audience draw their own conclusions.

CNN doesnt do this. That's why they are fake news.

I believe that in the case of reporting on Trump, they NEVER need to inject their opinion to make him look bad. You're saying that they do is why I assumed you like Trump.

81412   anonymous   2017 Feb 26, 8:22pm  

We know Trump exaggerates and is inconsistent with what he says. Honestly, I don't fucking care just as long as he blows up Washington and implements the major policies that may actually change our future for the better. We have no other alternatives now, so why fret over minutiae.

81413   marcus   2017 Feb 27, 6:16am  

This last week must have been a low one for Trump lies, becasue I can't see that anyone is listing "the week in Trump lies" for this most recent week. But here's his first 100.

The First 100 Lies: The Trump Team’s Flurry Of Falsehoods
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-administration-lies-100_us_58ac7a0fe4b02a1e7dac3ca6

Yeah sure, just another President in a long line of politicians. "Typical politician." "Nothing to see here folks."

Yes, it's true many of his lies are exaggerations such as the ones about the standing ovation he didn't receive at the CIA (not that the abundance of this type of lie aren't disturbing). But many of them are important BS, like when he says the murder rate is the highest it's been in 46 years. The uptick is the highest in a similar period of time, but the actual rate is about half what it was 25 years ago.

THe big picture is that the murder rate has dropped an amazing amount. WE know Trump must know this, so why does he say such lies ? MY theory ? To troll the press, so that gullible fools (I won't name any names of people around here) will believe that the press is being mean to him and that he is justified in creating his own branch of the media that will be the ones entitled to cover him close up.

Are you referring to talking wo a teleprompter for 90 minutes, only to have a point about "sweden last night" be willfully misinterpreted and used as fake news. Is that one of your "examples"?

How was that wilfully reported? "You look at what's happening last night in Sweden" is an obviously misleading claim, so how exactly do you suggest the media should respond to such a comment?

It makes me smile that you found the answer yourself.

Remember that trump speaks for 90 minutes w/o a teleprompter. If you try anyone can willfully misrepresent his underlying meaning. Ex:

Rashomon says

"You look at what's happening last night in Sweden" is an obviously misleading claim,

No. Its an ambiguous and poorly phrased reference the current trends in Sweden. He cleared that up when asked. See how easy that is?

Also it is largely irrelevant, it was a big crowd alright. Who gives a shit if it was bigger than any or all of its predecessors? This has nothing to do with reporting news anymore, but looking for petty fights and misinterpretations everywhere. Lamestream media is losing it.

OK, does it seem like a good move to buy silver now?

That's what I'm holding. I'll swap when the ratio dips. I go with physical because I like investments I control directly. Silver rounds or junk silver, premiums on investment coins always disappear before a market tops. Also, if you want to offload some of your investment unexpectedly, coins are much easier to exchange, liquidity is good.

owning precious metals is only better than leaving money in a saving account.

You give me an investment stock or real estate that didn't rely on an insider tip or deal, and I'll show you how much more you could have made if you had invested in silver or gold. What your fiat currency-centric mind doesn't understand is gold and silver have been outpacing inflation(the dollar) for nearly a decade. While every other paper investment has been saddled with the same loss.

You never adjust your profit for inflation!?

81425   joeyjojojunior   2017 Feb 27, 9:59am  

"Who gives a shit if it was bigger than any or all of its predecessors?"

Exactly! So why did Spicer make a point to say it at the press conference? Why did Trump tweet about it?

Who cares?

You mean, anyone who listens can hear the blatant lies. There is no underlying meaning. He just lies on purpose because he knows that folks like you don't care.

Who made that graph? If we ever get to points D and E, there will only be thermophillic bacteria left. Maybe, they could have shortened the Energy axis.

I really appreciate your discussions on sea ice extents and temperature. However, the antarctic ice set a record for maximum extent in 2014 and a minimum in 2017. It is certainly erratic as opposed to a steady trend. I think two reasons for this are that the antarctic is largely isolated by ocean currents, and the ice nearly completely melts each year, so while the amount left over varies greatly as a percentage of the average minimum extent (around 2M km2), it is small relative to the average maximum extent (20M km2). What is striking to me about this graph is not the trend of increasing or decreasing extent, but the trend of increasing amplitude of the changes. That is, the antarctic ice extent has been getting more erratic over the last 30 yrs. IDK if this is meaningful or not, or what the implications are.

81433   FNWGMOBDVZXDNW   2017 Feb 28, 11:15am  

Your theory is that there is no more ice and hence no more heat sink, so the water has warmed and needs time to cool before forming new ice. This doesn't fit the data, though, as there are 2 million km^2 of ice still in the water.

Which of your supposed "lies" in your video would you like to discuss?

I am suggesting the MSM turns misstatements, poor phrasing, and ambiguity into their own fake misinterpretation, then go into full hysteria attacking the fake representation.

Its fake news, over and over again.

The inauguration crowd size is the example to which I've already responded above. Trump said it looked like 1 million people, maybe 1.5, from where he stood. The CNN megapixel pic showing the POTUS POV did indeed look like a million people. After that Spicer makes a case that the total (including TV and digital) audience was the biggest ever. Neither of them lied, or even said anything unreasonable. Every shred of the hysteria calling Trump a liar is wasted energy, each hit story lowers the MSM a bit closer to complete joke status.

Good thing they all started thinking about it now, after 7 years of bitching about it.

It never crossed their minds to do it when they were all talking about "Repeal and Replace"?.

No, it's not a necessity at all.

81441   curious2   2017 Feb 28, 4:20pm  

In fairness to the President, the issue needn't be nearly so complicated as it is. You could set a million monkeys at a million typewriters for a million years, and choose deliberately their most convoluted output, and it would not come close to the broken system that we have. Decades of both major party establishments dividing and misruling the public, aggregating constituents into different pools and programs, maximizing patronage network spending/revenue, have made it so. On Capitol Hill, you can usually translate "reform" to mean "increase spending for the dominant patronage network at the expense of everyone else." I've posted elsewhere on PatNet relevant quotations from Noam Chomsky (about manufacturing consent, and the most educated being the most indoctrinated, book smart but not street smart). I've posted also a longer excerpt from George Orwell's 1984, about the perceived need to maintain scarcity while destroying surplus in a way that the population finds psychologically acceptable. Any amount of waste, fraud, and abuse can be psychologically acceptable to the regressive virtue signalers on the left, as long as you call it a "benefit" for "health", even if you're actually irradiating innocent people and increasing their risk for cancer, or poisoning them with toxic placebos. It's the left's version of the drug war, where any amount of private prison spending (including private contractors that sell to government prisons and lobby legislators and write criminal laws via ALEC) can become psychologically acceptable, no matter how much waste, fraud, and abuse it entails, so long as it is punishing defiance. The two major parties use a "good cop, bad cop" two step, so they look different, but they're both working for overlapping patronage networks, and the waste, fraud, and abuse are the pie that they want to grow, because they can get their fingers in most easily where no real value needs to be produced and delivered.

It's without any question absolutely necessary and one of the most basic human obligations: speaking the truth of one's convictions. And it's preposterous to consider a hardening of opposition as a reason to suppress opposition. Trump is deranged and I couldn't care less if you or anyone else doesn't like the feelz of the statement. It's your website Patrick, so act like Trump if you think you must, but trying to muzzle others' opinions of a man who clearly has at best a tenuous grasp on reality and the emotional maturity of an eight year old is a waste of your moral character.
