Well guess what? He is a democrat. He only "changed" parties so he could run for office. Can't run in the Democratic party because of their super-delegates. He isn't stupid at all. He realized the system was entirely corrupt, and the leadership of both parties are identical - but you've not figured it out yet. It's staring you in the face and you call the Orange Man dumb.

Lol, yes, Trump is a better Democrat that any Democrat.

He's doing the things for the workers that the Democrats keep failing to do. Especially in going after outsourcing.

I'll bet you a beer that @HEYYOU never responds to it. I think you have a bot here. I see he's on basically everybody's ignore list. If he isn't a bot, and he actually does make a coherent response, I'll be very surprised.

The election of Trump has shown me one thing I didn't suspect 15 years ago. The people who call themselves "the left" or identify as "the left", have absolutely no principles. Obama was exactly like Bush save for trivial differences. Nobody really cared about gay marriage either way, nor did they care about transgendered bathrooms - but they pretended to care.

What I didn't know is they don't care about going to war, being lied to in order to start a war, murdering people to steal their resources, breaking the freaking Geneva Conventions for god's sake. I thought people had general moral principles. They don't. It seems to be very rare to find somebody with any principles at all.

richwicks says

I think you have a bot here.

Pretty sure he's human, just very repetitive and unwilling to admit that the Democrats are as bad or worse than the Republicans.

The Democratic Party should be disbanded for its complete failure to act in the public interest.

HEYYOU says

How about a challenge,Patrick.
Ban me.

People just ignore you, you don't need to be banned.

HEYYOU says

Fuck Dems & Reps.
I'm an Independent.

Then criticize the Democrats for once or somebody in it.

Also you may want to remember what thread you are in. This is about NPR and the NYTimes spewing propaganda, which they do. These are considered "left leaning" organizations, but they're really just pro authoritarian. You're the one that started screaming about Trump. Why about Trump? Why not about Obama blowing up Syria, and the intelligence agencies repeatedly faking chemical attacks and the universal support in continuing that war on both sides of the aisle?

The best thing about Trump's election is that he's openly pointing out what was taboo to point out.

We do have a deep state, that is, a group of unelected bureaucrats controlling foreign and internal policy.
The (latest) Iraq War was a disaster.
We shouldn't be in the freaking Middle East blowing anything up or anywhere else.
We should be co-operating with nations as much as possible.
Our "news" media does lie and produces blatant propaganda.
Our intelligence agencies do lie and they are part of the paroapganda machine.
Our judicial system uses selective prosecution as a political weapon.

That alone was worth electing him - even if he does noting else, that's a tremendous improvement over the last 4 lumps of shit we've had for meat puppet presidents.

HEYYOU says

Nope. You generally don't insult the other users, which is the main rule.

Damn @richwicks maybe you should run for office. You got one vote right here.

Then again, truth-telling doesn't get you any bribes campaign funding from the people who are raking it in by screwing over the country. So you probably wouldn't be able to compete with those that do take bribes.

Publicly funded campaigns would help fix this, but no one in Congress will support that because they all got elected under the current system of "take bribe, pay media to divide and distract with tranny bathrooms and !RACISM! accusations".

It's going to take a mass public demand for publicly funded campaigns, but that seems unlikely given how deep in bed the media is with the outsource-everything-to-china crowd.

That’s definitely another worthy goal of this Covid mess.

First expose the MSM for the deceitful hacks they are

Then use this as pretext for isolationist policy. President Trump has already working towards that goal. Merle Haggard had it right and so does the President. Get us out of cleaning up other nations messes.

Forget that! Who would want to run for office to work in government? What a nightmare that would be to have to work within the government. Elected officials don't have any power. I'd get thrown down the stairs by a bunch of bureaucrats screaming "we own this town!"

The government is entirely corrupt.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/media-get-cold-feet-after-reporting-democrats-torpedoed-covid-19-bill-change-headlines-to-spread-bipartisan-blame

This is fast becoming my favorite genre of journalism: A major news outlet will at first report accurately on a breaking news event, but then amend its own headline later in such a way as to make sure it does not a) reflect well on Republicans or b) reflect poorly on Democrats.

On Thursday, for example, after Senate Democrats killed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s small-business COVID-19 relief package, CNN published a breaking news headline that read, “Democrats block GOP-led funding boost for small business aid program.”

There is nothing wrong with that headline. It is entirely accurate!

But CNN changed it anyway to remove all negative implications for Democratic lawmakers. The headline now reads, “Senate at stalemate over more COVID-19 aid after Republicans and Democrats block competing proposals.” Well, shucks, wouldn’t you know it? There is blame to go around for everyone!

Politico did the same thing. Its initial headline claimed Thursday afternoon, “Senate Dems to block new coronavirus relief in bid for more money.” Its revised headline, however, now suggests there is blame to go around. It now reads, “Senate brawl derails fast push for new coronavirus relief.”

Then, of course, there is the New York Times, which reported originally on its live updates blog, “Democrats block G.O.P. proposal for aid to businesses, request more fund.” That has since been amended to read “As Economy Hemorrhages Jobs, Aid Stalls in Senate.”

The really funny thing about this is: These are not even the first examples in this media trend.

In late March, immediately after Senate Democrats scuttled a trillion-dollar-plus coronavirus relief package, the New York Times declared in its initial breaking news headline, "Democrats Block Action on $1.8 Trillion Stimulus."

That headline did not last long.

It was soon changed to, “Democrats Block Action on Stimulus Plan, Seeking Worker Protections.” Amazingly, it was changed a third time and a fourth time, to “Partisan Divide Threatens Deal on Rescue Bill,” and then to “Emergency Economic Rescue Plan in Limbo as Democrats Block Action.” ...

The end with Jim's body language and reaction was hysterical. I don't watch cable networks, but have seen a few clips with that guy. He's a media STD filled vagina, aka whore.

I was surprised that NPR had a Stanford Dr. on that was saying the recession/depression could cause more deaths and lower life expectancy globally than the virus.

Another zillion mainstream media lies here:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/03/29/the_medias_top_lies_and_spins_about_covid-19.html

February 28, 2020: Politico published a piece entitled, “Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax.’” Many in the media and Democratic Party echoed this fake news. Trump was in fact calling the criticisms of his administration’s response to the coronavirus the Democrats’ new hoax.
March 5, 2020: CBS News posted a story falsely claiming President Trump told sick people to go to work. If you read the actual quote, he is talking about healthy people going about their business not knowing that they have the virus: “So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 12, 2020: An Atlantic staff writer upheld the lie that China was “sending aid” to Italy out of goodwill, despite it being disproven by The Washington Post. The shipments in question were exports that had been purchased by Italy and other receiving countries.
March 12, 2020: NBC , NPR , Newsweek , Joe Biden, CNN, and Esquire falsely claimed that President Trump blocked coronavirus testing and rejected WHO coronavirus test kits because lower numbers are good for his re-election.
March 13, 2020: The stock market soared and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record increase after President Trump and his coronavirus task force held a press conference on the government’s response. CNN had only criticisms of the administration’s response with no mention of the stock market gains, according to The Federalist.
March 13, 2020: The Washington Post published an opinion piece that falsely claimed that President Trump closed the White House Pandemic Office. The Washington Post later released an article that fact checked the initial claims from the opinion piece.

March 15, 2020. The Atlantic published a piece, "The Coronavirus Called America's Bluff," that attempted to assert the Trump administration is just as bad as China's Communist Party in its handling of the coronavirus. Keep in mind that China silenced doctors and journalists and lied to the WHO to keep the pandemic under wraps.
March 16, 2020: The Daily Beast took a cheap shot at the president, but worse, it misled Americans when it headlined a story, “President Trump told several governors that they are largely on their own in stocking up on gear such as respirators and ventilators to fight the novel coronavirus.” Other outlets then echoed the phony report. The president actually said, “We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.”
March 16, 2020: CNN falsely claimed that the Trump administration is considering imposing a national curfew.
March 16, 2020: Reuters, The Guardian, Business Insider, and staffers at the New York Times and MSNBC falsely claim that Trump wants to monopolize a coronavirus vaccine.
March 17, 2020: In a tweet, MSNBC analyst Glenn Kirschner suggests Donald Trump is guilty of negligent homicide “for the way he’s mishandled the Coronavirus crisis.”
March 17, 2020: A doctored tweet suggesting that President Trump would withhold federal aid from his critics circulates on Twitter and Instagram, which FactCheck.org debunked.
March 18, 2020: A Washington Post columnist falsely accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of delaying the House’s vote on the coronavirus bill. (To its credit, the paper later ran a correction at the top of the column.)
March 18, 2020: Rick Wilson tweets “#BeInfected” in response to a story about First Lady Melania Trump appearing in public health PSA’s on the coronavirus, which he later said was a joke, deriding the First Lady’s #BeBest campaign.
March 19, 2020: NBC News published a story entitled, “Italy has a world class health system. The coronavirus has pushed it to the breaking point.” Despite NBC’s best efforts to fear monger, a quick Google search tells us that Johns Hopkins ranks Italy’s system, in relation to treating the sick and protecting health care workers, as number 54 in the world.
March 20, 2020: The Daily Mail criticized Trump for calling the coronavirus the Chinese virus, dubbing it racist when the outlet itself used the term just two short months ago because the virus did, indeed, originate in China.
March 20, 2020: CNN published a story entitled, “Yes, Of Course Donald Trump Is Calling Coronavirus The 'China Virus' For Political Reasons”.
March 20, 2020: The Atlantic published a piece blaming President Trump’s personality for the coronavirus outbreak.
March 22, 2020: The New York Times changed a headline from, “Democrats Block Action on $1.8 Trillion Stimulus” to one that blames “partisan divide.”
March 23, 2020: Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough tweeted: “There is no public benefit to this briefing. The networks should all cut away.” This tweet came despite recent polling that shows the majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s response to the coronavirus and disapprove of the media’s coverage.
March 23, 2020: A tabloid run by the Communist Party of China posted a video that contained footage of American media outlets and politicians repeating China’s talking points to portray China’s response to the coronavirus as favorable.
March 23, 2020: An NBC Reporter insinuated that President Trump is responsible for the death of a man who consumed fish tank cleaner. You must read further into her thread to get the crucial fact — that what the man consumed was a parasite treatment for fish, not the medical form of Chloroquine that President Trump has discussed. It’s worth noting the salacious tweet alleging President Trump’s responsibility in this received over 34k retweets, while the final tweet in the thread specifying that the toxic ingredient consumed by the man was not actually the medical form of the drug in question got fewer than 3k retweets.
March 24, 2020: MSNBC host Rachel Maddow tweeted that cable news networks should stop covering the President’s coronavirus briefings, propagating that the President is amplifying misinformation. Seattle NPR announced they will stop airing the President’s coronavirus briefings. Coincidentally, networks are wanting to cut coverage of these briefings as President Trump’s approval rating hits its highest level since 2017.
March 26, 2020: Vox published a story “Trump’s reckless promotion of hydroxychloroquine to fight coronavirus, explained”. Vox failed to mention that when Anthony Fauci was asked if he would prescribe hydroxychloroquine he said "Yeah, of course, particularly if people have no other option. These drugs are approved drugs for other reasons."

Who are "the globalists"?

People who profit from outsourcing manufacturing and insourcing mass illegal labor, or from selling to a global customer base.

Or their minions who get funding to cry RACISM and feel better about themselves.

Jeff Bezos is perhaps the classic globalist, richest guy in the world largely through importing Chinese goods.
Apple, because it produces in China and sells here.
Google and Facebook, because the majority of their profits and employees come from abroad.
All of Hollywood, which makes the majority of its profits from abroad as well and bitterly hates traditional American culture.
Every restaurant and bar owner who employs illegals to save on wages (probably the majority).

Article is a year old, but totally relevant today:

https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2019/february/fmr-cbs-reporter-lara-logan-says-shes-being-targeted-for-calling-out-liberal-media-bias

A former top correspondent for CBS News is calling out the so-called "mainstream" news media for their left-wing bias and anti-Trump agenda. ...

"Michael Calderone, who was at the Huffington Post. I can literally give you the script now; I can tell you who the players are. Joe Hagan, Brian Stelter, it's the same people all the time and they're all saying the same things and... they come after you, they come after me," she said.

"If there are any independent voices out there, if there are any journalists that are not beating the same drum and giving the same talking points, then we pay the price," Logan added.

She accused her critics of failing to honestly engage opposing viewpoints by addressing the substance of an argument. Logan argued that instead, they resort to smear tactics.

"They can't go after the things that matter, so they smear you personally," she said. "They go after your integrity; they go after your reputation as a person and as a professional and they'll stop at nothing."

The backlash against Logan comes after a recent guest appearance on an episode of retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland's "Mike Drop" podcast in which she noted, "The media everywhere is mostly liberal. But in this country, 85 percent of journalists are registered Democrats."

"Unless you seek out Breitbart on your computer, you're probably not even going to know what the other side is saying," Logan told Ritland. ...

"The problem is the weight of all these organizations on one side of the political spectrum. When you turn on your computer, or you walk past the TV, or you see a newspaper headline in the grocery store, if they're all saying the same thing, the weight of that convinces you that it's true. You don't question it – because everyone is saying it."

Logan acknowledged that her candour amounted to career suicide. She also noted that the hostility coming from members of the mainstream media served as evidence that her claims of left-wing media bias are on point.

"It's obvious, right, because you get targeted. It's the same group of people. They're already starting to target me again now and I was expecting it. I know they're gonna come after me again. The same people come after you."

She was raped by a gang in Egypt while reporting there:

It would be interesting to know if this made her more realistic about Islam, or if she already understood the true nature of Islam before being raped.

Islamic law allows and encourages all Muslim men to rape any non-Muslim woman they please, at any time:

COVID-19 almost cured Chris Cuomo of journalism
by Becket Adams
April 14, 2020 07:15 PM

CNN’s Chris Cuomo suffered a sort of existential crisis this week, confessing outright during a radio interview that he considers what he does for a living to be soul-crushing and devoid of any real meaning.

Unfortunately, his moment of clarity lasted not 24 hours before he performed a full backtrack, claiming he never said the things he said about CNN, his job, and journalism.

“I don’t like what I do professionally,” the cable host said Monday during an interview on SiriusXM. “I don’t think it’s worth my time.”

He added, “I don’t want to spend my time doing things that I don’t think are valuable enough to me personally. I don’t value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship.”

There must be a lot of reporters who know that what they are doing for the mainstream media is only political fraud and propaganda. Maybe more of them will start to tell the truth.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1250013815812603906.html

1/ And @nytimes continues to slide further into fiction this morning with this gem: the US needs “foreign doctors” because hospitals “are scrambling to address a shortage of medical professionals... (and keep) a full supply of health care workers.”

2/ Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, hospitals are desperately laying off employees because they’re so empty:





4/ But I can only keep asking: What are @nytimes @washingtonpost etc doing? Why are they going to such lengths to keep driving unfounded - and at this point actively counterfactual - narratives for as long as possible?

I agree. Trump tells it like it is regarding the chinese and other countries taking advantage of the US.
But with trumps 99% bullshit bullhorn going on 24/7, people have come to not believe whatever he says, and thus miss out on the bits of truth that do come out.

Patrick says

Trump will at least tell the truth about China's devastation of American manufacturing.

https://spectator.us/mainstream-media-take-tara-reade-seriously/

The Times’s handling of the Reade accusation stands in stark contrast to how the newspaper covered allegations of sexual misconduct against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. ...

The media’s deference to Democrats over their accusers on issues of sexual assault and misconduct has played out numerous times over the past few years. ...

t’s perhaps an even bigger slap in the face to share an accusation and discover that the so-called arbiters of truth in the media are covering for their politician of choice...

The NY Times is not a newspaper. It is just a propaganda platform for Democrats/globalists/racists who hate white people.

Patrick says

Thanks for posting this. Backs up my real world narrative that hospital staff are LOSING their jobs. Not even in demand in most places. There's nowhere near enough sick patients without kids breaking bones playing sports, car accidents, shootings, etc. I wouldn't be shocked if there are hospitals that go under/BK during a fucking PANDEMIC! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Onvacation says

MSM lies, Trump bullshits as a good used car salesman which he is. When he talks about "being the best" or "build a wall" or whatever, that is bullshit usually. There is an interesting book about this topic:

On Bullshit is a 1986 essay, reprinted as a 2005 book, by philosopher Harry G. Frankfurt which presents a theory of bullshit that defines the concept and analyzes the applications of bullshit in the context of communication. Frankfurt determines that bullshit is speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care if what they say is true or false, but rather only cares whether their listener is persuaded.
