Trump's attacks on the media and rally antics.

[Big Nasty Edison]

Kinda like the media did to Cops.

Cool straw man.

 

[BrotherClaudio]

He's under constant fire of utter bullshit every day from the press, so he fires back, who cares?

 

[VivaRevolution]

You are not wrong.

The anger at both isn't wrong either.

 

[tkotom]

Trump's Antics are going to get a member of the media killed by one of his supporters at this rate.

The top democrats literally said that it is your duty as an America to harass trump admin wherever you find them including their home.

Maybe the media should stop lying.

 

[HereticBD]

What are you referring to? I'm out of town and haven't been following the news closely

Crazy old Waters told a crowd to start publicly harassing congressional Republicans wherever they see them. At gas stations, restaurants, yada, yada. If you see them harass them, was her message.

Now of course, it will be argued that Trump has said worse, and in fairness, he probably has. However, it's his game. It works for him. Those kind of tactics don't mesh well with Dems. They don't know how to play that game, and it will only backfire on them. It's not their strength.

Lots of whataboutism ITT so far but no tangible defense.

Defense of what exactly?

the top democrat just rebuked Maxine waters. You need to catch up on your news.

I do. Trump has been in office almost 2 years now, and he has yet to have to defend any legit criticism because he just yells fake news.

Has Trump answered one question about his campaign team meeting with foreign persons from Russia, or Isreal, or Saudi Arabia, or the UAE?

Are you really OK with having a president whose admin has secret meetings with foreign powers, and doesn't have to answer questions about it?

 

[Fedorable]

did anyone see this? A trump supporter going up to a landscaper and started repeating trumps favorite rally talking points and slogans?

most likely staged.

Ah got ya. It's crazy how polarizing politics has gotten when most people have no fucking clue. Reminds me of the anti gun people. "This rifle is capable of firing 30 bullet clip magazines in a split second"

 

[all caps]

For 2 to 3 years now Trump has been calling for the imprisonment of his political enemies, opening up of libel laws two more harshly prosecute the media, has called for the removal of due process and the disarmament of citizens, and is now literally called the media the enemy of the people.

These are new extremes and are verging on radical speech. We've already recently seen one of his supporters take a dam hostage. And we saw one of his supporters previously go armed into a pizza parlor. How far is it going to go until someone gets hurt?

We're getting what we deserve, tbh. Welcome to America.

 

[ultramanhyata]

CNN is not the media. They average about 700k viewers in prime time. A very tiny minority of radicals watch that horse shit...they’re really not even worth talking about

lol

 

[INTERL0PER]

As an outsider, I find the political direction the USA is heading in very, very troubling.

Again, from the outside, it seems that you guys are becoming far too desensitized to violence and pre-fascist rhetoric. Your political landscape has become so fucking insane that no one has a "normal" frame of reference anymore.

I mean, a few years ago it would've been unthinkable that a president would say the kinds of things that Trump does, but after "grab em by the pussy" nothing really compares. Everyone is just used to it.

The frog is being boiled.

Which campaign hasn't met with foreigners? What is inherently bad about that?

Yes. That is kind of their job after all. Diplomacy generally isnt done for all to see

 

[INTERL0PER]

most likely staged.

What makes you say that?

Genuinely curious. What about that video makes you think it was staged?

That is fine once you have been elected.

Before you are elected, it wreaks of trading potential influence for campaign support.

Ah, we're fine.


I can't remember a decade that wasnt tumultuous.

The only thing that's changed media coverage has exploded.

Nah, he’s got people right and left investigating every damn thing he’s done. The alphabet agencies even infiltrated his campaign and likely had just about the whole damn campaign under surveillance

If the Media went through this type of investigation we’d probably be shocked at what would be found.

I don’t like Trumps ties to Israel AT ALL. But I can’t act surprised when every administration before him has likely done far worse

Yup. Every damn thing is the end of the world now
