Courtesy of The Hill:
Trump made a statement earlier today said that “racism is evil” and specifically criticized the KKK, Nazis and other groups that organized the rally for the first time. But he did not take questions from reporters, despite later calling it a "press conference."
At a second announcement later in the day, Trump said he is launching an investigation into China’s trade practices.
As that announcement ended, Acosta asked Trump if reporters could ask him questions about his remarks on Charlottesville.
“It doesn’t bother me at all, but I like real news, not fake news,” Trump said, pointing at Acosta. “You’re fake news.”
“Haven’t you spread a lot of fake news yourself, sir?” Acosta shot back.
Trump ignored the question and exited the room.
Yes! That was EXACTLY what needs to happen!
Trump calls every news agency that dares to reveal his lies and poor policy decisions as "fake news" while virtually everything that he says is bullshit.
I am not always happy with CNN, but Jim Acosta has some serious balls and has been going after Trump and his spokespeople like rabid rottweiler.
And I think other journalists need to get a little of that mad dog attitude as well.
Remember in high school when you use to fake cough and say "bull shit" while coughing.
ReplyDeleteThis is what reporters need to do when Trump says a dumb thing when he is talking.
Speaking of, hey Gryphen, who keeps doing that here?

Yup, someone is calling bs!
But what about? Gryphen?

DeleteUntil Trump can take out media, papers etc (that he doesn't like) he has a war declared. More people will have to stand up and resist. With their vicious leader they all only get uglier and uglier.

RARE IS the issue that you can get nearly all political cartoonists to agree upon. But an exception, as far back as Bill Mauldin’s heyday, has been Nazis.
ReplyDeleteIn the wake of Charlottesville, President Trump has found a way to unite America’s cartoonists. He has even sparked a growing reaction among satirists on foreign shores.

‘Daily Stormer’ sending Nazis to harass funeral of woman killed by white supremacist in Charlottesville
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/RawStory/status/897465180875104256
May be Trump will visit his winery in Charlottesville and attend the funeral of the woman killed.
DeleteHe will never forget the wonderful words to him from Heather Heyer's mother.
He did not even mention the deceased trooper's in the helicopter crash. They were protecting all the people and working to keep the rally safe. There deaths are under investigation but it was likely an accident. Not due to the protesters.
...That includes starting wars simply to pump up his poll numbers, or just as a distraction from his controversies

Richard Spencer and His Kook-Right Ilk Are Agents of Russian Influence
Kremlin intelligence is manipulating the far-right. It’s time to push back.
The Nazified far-right thereby has joined the highly select pantheon of people whom President Trump won’t denounce no matter how badly they misbehave—whose only other member is Vladimir Putin. It bears examining whether Trump’s stunning silence may not be a coincidence.
Our extreme right, with very few exceptions, are super-fans of the Russian president, in whom they see a strong, traditional leader who runs the world’s only white nuclear-armed great power. Their websites brim with adulation for Putin as a demigod who resists the Western social justice agenda with more than words. That this depiction of Putin may not be entirely true matters not a whit to his ardent alt-right fans.
Although our country has always had white supremacists, Russia has given them renewed focus and energy, as well as a ready-made worldview. This take on the world includes overt white nationalism which despises the United States as a decadent and multiracial society. The Moscow menu suspiciously includes support for a range of foreign issues such as adulation of Bashar al-Assad and his nasty Syrian regime.
Assad just happens to be a Russian client, which explains why American neo-Nazis profess deep admiration for him and his bloody dictatorship, even though one wonders how many of these extremists could locate Syria on a map. True to form, young Mr. Fields posted a picture of Assad with the title UNDEFEATED on his Facebook page. Ideological synchronicity between the American neo-Nazis and the Kremlin approaches complete overlap.

Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

Sorry, but this should have happened while TRUMP WAS RUNNING.
ReplyDeleteInstead, the media chose to make it a horse race by ignoring or looking the other way at Trump's outrageous statements and behavior, to make him a viable opponent to Hillary Clinton.
They did it for money. For profits. To sell newspapers, magazines and get hits on their websites.
NOW they are finally pushing back? NOW they are finally standing up to him?
While it's nice they are finally growing a pair, its a little LATE.
They are still not standing up to him. Some say something, and when getting called out on what they say, they whimper back 'I didn't mean it'!
DeleteTrump Totally Loses It And Defends Racists While Attacking The Press For Charlottesville
ReplyDeleteThe video above shows a president who is going out of his way to racists the benefit of the doubt. Trump repeatedly states that all the facts are not known, but the facts are known. Trump claimed that he didn’t want to comment before he had the facts, but this had not stopped him in the past when it came to incidents around the world that he blamed Muslims for as they were still happening.
The message was clear. Trump needed to give white racists the benefit of the doubt, and the press is all to blame for not seeing that his statement was true genius, and they should have praised him more.
The video shows a bigoted president who can barely hide his own racism.

Ahead of President Donald Trump's expected remarks on Tuesday, the heavy golden podium with the logo “TT” that sits permanently in front of the elevators (left) was eventually hoisted onto a dumbwaiter and removed from sight. A plain blue lectern, later bearing a presidential seal, was erected in its place.

He is such a fucking liar. And COWARD.
DeleteHe's all bluster except when it comes to two things: Russia and White Supremacists. Then he is a whiny little bitch. A coward. He runs away, makes excuses. This press conference was just one long fucking excuse filled with LIES. As they all are.
He wanted to have all of the facts? Really? Since when has Donald Judas Trump paid any attention to any FACTS?
I'm surprised they didn't just slap the presidential seal on Trump's big golden lecturn. (It's a lecturn. The podium is the platform you stand on.)
“It is disgusting that Dave Brat would compare the outrage of his own constituents over his vote to rip health care away from millions of Americans to the racist white supremacist attacks in Charlottesville this weekend,” she said. “Instead of using his platform to call for healing after a deeply horrifying weekend of violence, Dave Brat somehow thought it would be appropriate to whine about his own unpopularity. Concerned families are in no way comparable to neo-Nazi assaults on our nation’s diversity.”

DeleteThe press availability was a complete train wreck, as Trump went on at length defending his reprehensible remarks and refusing to directly confront racism and his racist support base. Instead, he added the men who created America to his long list of people who have been smeared in defense of his immense ego.

DeleteBIG mc$hame:" McCain has dined out on his reputation as The Good Conservative. He’s the senator who gives thunderous copy to reporters, and does SNL, and issues bipartisan reports on the military giving the NFL promo money, and does the occasional cameo on Parks & Rec. He fulfills every Brokawian wet dream certain members of the press still have about politicians setting aside their differences and doing the RIGHT THING, by God." McCain was never anyone’s white knight. This is the man who ushered in the age of troll candidacies by tapping Sarah Palin as his running mate. This is the man who caved to Donald Trump even after Trump had the audacity to mock his time as a POW. This is the man who called his own wife a Cunt in public."Everyone should realize that John McCain is the perfect American lie, a man who professes to be noble and fair and just while being none of those things." that was always just clever branding"
