Former President Trump Thread

Facebook just allows anything and everything that gives them money and only removes things when they are reported.
And if it's white nationalism and misogyny that get reported, it's not considered a violation of their standards.

Even Fox News has pulled this one.

Edit: Facebook is allowing it to air, but not allowing it to benefit from "paid distribution," of the advertising. Also, now that I know which ad they're talking about, the 30 second spot that aired during Sunday Night Football last night, my blood is fasterisking boiling.

Facebook has finally removed the ad.

Oy. Way to go Hannity... yeah, all news is fake news. Fucker.
Context

Journalists (even so called "journalists" like Hannity) have no business getting on stage at political rallies and speaking on behalf of a candidate. Let alone using that platform to declare all other journalists "fake news". Hannity is a revolting example of humanity. His show is even more deliberately inflammatory than the President is, and anyone listening to him is damaging their own intelligence.

Also, he looks like someone drew a tiny face on their thumb.

You don't have to tell me - the last time Hannity's face was voluntarily on my TV screen was when Geraldo was out in a boat saving people from Hurricane Katrina, because CNN was sitting on the sidelines with their thumbs up their butts talking about celebrity gossip on HLN instead of covering the flooding. I wouldn't say that CNN has improved one bit since then, but watching Fox plummet past them at breakneck speed in the race to the bottom must have at least been exciting for some people.
 
What's really crazy is that the Death Penalty already is in vogue in the US. It's so in vogue, the rest of the West thinks y'all should be shot. Well, sanctioned for your barbaric idea of justice.
 
Saw that one over at BoingBoing as well. Why would someone need to trademark so many generic phrases in China? Oh, right...because in the USA you can’t trademark generic phrases, and because businesses and businesspeople have been using WIPO to do an end run around this fact by taking their (invalid in the USA) complaints to WIPO, hoping it can be convinced to exert its regulatory pressure on their opponents in the international arena, and “win” a case that could not have been brought in America.

Trump is completely unhinged at this point. Trump unloads on CNN journalist Jim Acosta: 'You are a rude, terrible person'

Acosta finally relinquished the mic and sat down, but Trump then began to verbally berate him from the lectern.

"CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them," Trump said. "You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn't be working for CNN."

Trump added that the way Acosta had treated Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was "awful."

The president then moved to address the next questioner, NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander, who defended Acosta.

"In Jim's defense, I've traveled with him and watched him, he's a diligent reporter who busts his butt like the rest of us," Alexander said.

"Well I'm not a big fan of yours either," Trump said.

Acosta then stood up and began speaking to the president off microphone, to which the president responded, "When you report fake news, which CNN does a lot, you are the enemy of the people."

Later in the news conference, Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for PBS, asked the president about labeling himself a nationalist and whether he felt that emboldened white nationalists.

"I don't know why you'd say that," Trump said. "That's such a racist question."
How is that a racist question?
 
How long before Rosenstein and Mueller are next?
Rosenstein is already a non-issue. The only reason he was taking part in the whole thing was because Sessions recused himself. Now that a new AG has been sworn in, said AG takes over the investigation oversight.
 
Many people are focusing on the fact that the letter itself has no date, and whether that means this letter has been sitting around in a drawer somewhere for who-only-knows how long.

Donald doesn’t understand that Mueller has already farmed out significant portions of the investigation to other federal offices and state offices. Firing Mueller won’t kill the investigation. It won’t stop it. The Democrats can subpoena everything, anyway, and even hire Mueller themselves.
 
I would be willing to bet my life that Trump is never indicted or impeached. Doesn't matter how much he deserves it.
 
I'd assume not. "Indictment" is just fancy talk for a criminal charge, the sort of thing that ought to be in the hands of law enforcement, not politicians.
*sigh* For the President and certain other elected officials, they technically need to be impeached from office before they can face criminal charges from law enforcement.

The constitutional text sets down both a procedure to be followed for impeachments and a substantive standard by which impeachments should be judged. Procedurally, an impeachment can be brought by a majority vote of the House of Representatives against any civil officer of the federal government. In practice, the House investigates whether impeachment charges would be warranted. If it determines that charges are warranted, articles of impeachment are drafted that specify the various charges against the officer in question and those are voted on by the whole House. Once the Senate receives articles of impeachment from the House, it organizes itself into a court. Senators take an oath to do “impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws” when sitting as judges in that court, and the chief justice of the United States presides over the court in the case of an impeachment of the president. The House appoints managers to prosecute the case before the Senate, and the impeached officer is entitled to present a defense. At the conclusion of the trial, the members of the Senate must vote on each individual article of impeachment. Conviction requires a guilty verdict from two-thirds of the participating senators. Upon conviction, the Senate may impose a punishment of removal from office or disqualification from any future federal office.
 
Jim Acosta of CNN has been suspended from being able to enter the Whitehouse after Trump blew his stack at him for asking questions when called upon. Trump looked like an utter goon madman.

They lie, lie, lie.



Jesus Christ.

Oh, Rosenstein is no longer in charge of the Mueller investigation. Temporary goon in charge can and will cover shit up.
Somehow, I don't think this is what CNN was trying to convey when they kept running that ad of the little girl eating the apple and then telling people not to repeat stories and to stick to facts.
