What is Donald Trump's Greatest Failure? (Page 346) GeraldtheGnome: Campion, use a space before the question mark. Trump loved his damn Tweets, the lying Bastard. America is not a Country and not a life form, therefore it can’t be better or worse than it is. (Edited by GeraldtheGnome)  Wordy and Fun: Oh, absolutely....those weren't swizzle sticks that the INSURRECTIONISTS were brandishing at cops and others on January 6. Those were WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION, or were you too busy burning crosses with rmclark elsewhere to realize that? LOL ECHO - Nice spin but my reply was about gun violence - Way to go full nutjob with your typical idiotic type reply of ": were you burning crosses" Get a grip Wordy and Fun: I could fill ten libraries with the things that you DON'T know, you horse's ass. Don't you EVER get tired of demonstrating for the entire world what a colossal ignoramus you are? You could fill ten libraries with all the horse sh_t you and Keith post maybe  Campion: Isn't it great to wake up in the morning and not be confronted with a dozen or more insane midnight tweets from the liar-in-chief ? Wordy and Fun: About as great as it is to have a Commander in Chief who constantly tells the media he is going to get in trouble if he answers reporters questions without his staffs approval Now thats leadership!  Echolegacy: Wordy and Fun (SHOULD HAVE) Posted This: About as great as it is to have a Commander in Chief who constantly tells the media that they are going to get in trouble if reporters ask questions without his flunkies & yes men's approval Now that's leadership! I could not agree more!

'This is the last question I'll take, and I'm really gonna be in trouble.' It wasn’t clear what Biden meant by being ‘in trouble.’ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “I’m sorry, I’m going to get in trouble with staff if I don’t do this the right way,” Biden said after calling on Bloomberg News reporter Jennifer Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You guys are bad, I’m not supposed to be answering all these questions. I’m supposed to leave, but I can’t resist your questions.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Don't take questions': White House press secretary frowns on Biden's media interaction Who needs approval to answer questions exactly? Echolegacy: Wordy and Fun Posted This: Who needs approval to answer questions exactly? It seems to be a whole lot better and infinitely preferable to being called "An Enemy of the People," in my estimation. Or would you prefer THAT sort of relationship with a free press? Trump had the same contempt for a free press that most authoritarians and wannabe dictators possess. The purpose of a free press, as one wag has observed, is to "...comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable." If THAT is your preference---and I have no reason to doubt that its not---then I guess you really DON'T believe in the First Amendment to the Constitution. No big surprise there, either. You only like to bitch about the press because they DON'T kiss Trump's oversized ass which is what people like you seem to think the press is supposed to do. Why don't you just fine a nice, congenial regime run by authoritarians and the like----North Korea seems like a good choice----and just settle down there? That's one way to avoid the nuisance of a "free press," if you don't mind a little jackbooted fascism, courtesy of Donald Trump. ECHO (Edited by Echolegacy)  rmclark: Would someone tell me why Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr will not indict Trump? All you intelligent people and left wing media says that they have the goods on him. Don't you wish he would do his job? ANd its not just him Adam Schif had enough on Trump to put him in bars, and so far he hasn't told anyone what he had on him. These dang Dem's are failing at their job. The article I read said they were still investigating him. I guess I'm wondering what will turn up after investigating Trump for the better part of 5 years. We all know that the people involved and the media is not lying ( according to posters on here). Someone tell me what's going on Wordy and Fun: Video of Joe Biden Yelling at Reporter, Saying 'I'm Not Confident of Anything,' Goes Viral Biden, who was walking away from his Geneva press conference, whirled around at Collins and said, "I'm not confident he'll change his behavior. What in the hell, what do you do all the time?" 'Why are you the only guy who shouts questions?' Biden loses it at CBS correspondent who asked if he'll help get more kids back to school after his COVID task force said classrooms are safe - then tells the press to leave --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECHO BLURTED BELOW You only like to bitch about the press because they DON'T kiss Trump's oversized ass which is what people like you seem to think the press is supposed to do. No not at all but good guess - I want the press to treat Biden the same as Trump and Bush and Obama - YOU seem to want a press that is only allowed to ask certain questions at certain times and only those that Bidens team picks before hand One way to avoid the nuisance of a "free press" is to just not answer questions - Like the nimble minded Sleepy Joe (Edited by Wordy and Fun) Echolegacy: Wordy and Fun Posted This: No not at all but good guess - I want the press to treat Biden the same as Trump and Bush and Obama This is a legitimate and reasonable criticism and I have only one question for you: given the fact that most journalists DO have personal political preferences and naturally, tailor their journalistic output accordingly, what would you suggest as an alternative? Yes, I readily admit that journalists have their own personal political preferences, so what, then, would you suggest as a solution to this problem? I think its an interesting and basically insoluble dilemma, so I'd like to hear what YOU think might work as a solution? ECHO (Edited by Echolegacy) Echolegacy: rmclark Scrawled This: We all know that the people involved and the media is not lying ( according to posters on here) If you're going to quote me, at least do it accurately, you ignominious little toe rag. Jeez, you never DO learn---do you? ECHO (Edited by Echolegacy) Wordy and Fun: I think no President should have a list of who to take questions from before hand Id love to see citizens on both sides get chances to ask questions occasionally I dont think reporters from the same outlets should be asking questions at each press conference - Fox one time - Cnn the next - throw in some smaller outlets and allow them to ask Switch it up some And yes i know reporters are people and have biases but at the end of the day it is their job to be unbiased - There is no easy solution i dont believe - Until people stop watching biased outlets they will continue to put on tv what gets them ratings - See below CNN does not have Trump to kick around anymore so theey are losing viewers left and right If Someone like Trump comes along again CNN will go right back to their biased ways and uneven coverage cause it will bring in ratings ---------------------------------------------- CNN ratings are dramatically down since Trump left office. The network lost nearly 50% of its target audience during primetime hours. https://www.businessinsider.com/cnn-ratings-have-crashed-since-donald-trump-left-the-white-house-2021-3 Wordy and Fun: NY prosecutors to indict Trump Org insider - but not Trump, sources say WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - New York prosecutors investigating former U.S. President Donald Trump's business practices are likely to issue one or more criminal indictments this week – but not against Trump himself, according to people involved in the case. Wordy and Fun: https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/media-bias-left-study/ Media Bias: Pretty Much All Of Journalism Now Leans Left, Study Shows Researchers from Arizona State University and Texas A&M University questioned 462 financial journalists around the country. They followed up with 18 additional interviews. The journalists worked for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press and a number of other newspapers. What they found surprised them. Even the supposedly hard-nosed financial reporters were overwhelmingly liberal. Of the 462 people surveyed, 17.63% called themselves "very liberal," while 40.84% described themselves as "somewhat liberal." Media Conservatives: Endangered When you add it up, 58.47% admit to being left of center. Along with that, another 37.12% claim to be "moderate." What about the mythic "conservative" financial journalist? In fact, a mere 0.46% of financial journalists called themselves "very conservative," while just 3.94% said they were "somewhat conservative." That's a whopping 4.4% of the total that lean right-of-center. That's a ratio of 13 "liberals" for every one "conservative." Whatever happened to ideological diversity? Please remember this as you watch the business news or read a financial story in the paper. You might want to take its message with a grain of salt. That's especially true if the piece seems unduly harsh on the free-market system and its many proven benefits. Or if it lauds socialism as an "answer" to society's ills. rmclark: Echo Don't flatter yourself. There are more than you that seem to think Fox and Trump lies all the time. I'm just concerned that if Trump did all these illegal things he needs to pay for it just like you or I would have to. We all know he's guilty because of the facts I saw on Coffee Joe's morning program, and Lemon on CNN. Heck anyone would be a total idiot not to believe them. Right? We know the evidence is there. Why don't they go after him once and for all? I don't think Trump and the DA are buddies. Your seem to be a little edgy this A.M. What's the matter? Did you wake up on the wrong side of bed this morning. You don't seem to be the normal cheery self. The DA is closer to you than me. You are probably on a first name basis. Why don't you give him a call and report back to us rmclark: Any lefty can chime in on this. Have any of you bought in on the idea that the Republicans are for the Defund the Police movement yet? Or is this coming later. Your circus masters are starting to get this out I understand.
