President Trump - Page 70 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

whosnext, zerohedge is like two rungs lower than breitbart fwiw.

Mong literally complained about CNN being fake news, while citing a convicted criminal who has lost court cases on just about every "news" he has attempted to "report."

And the really SAD thing is that the people who do this ruin their own life and will realize the same thing sooner or later. Unless they are already too duped by the people who enforce this victimhood mentality.

You should tell more of this to all the Trump voters who think they're victims of illegal immigration, affirmative action, and Muslim refugees, and less of it to the people who have actually had to fight for their civil rights within mongo's lifetime.

Damn, and I foolishly believed this story on Breitbart:

Wasn't it last years CPAC where O'Keefe tweeted he would attend then some comedian threatened to alert his parole officer so he had to back out? I can't remember if it was CPAC or some similar event, but it was one of my favorite twitter exchanges of all time.

I have deleted the post linking to zerohedge (and the subsequent post quoting the post linking to zerohedge).

zerohedge links are not allowed for the same reasons breitbart links are not allowed.

Trump is spot on about Sweden, awesome to hear him talk about us in CPAC. I am really beginning to like the guy!

I was curious what Trump said about Sweden so I looked up the transcript:

Take a look at what happened in Sweden. I love Sweden. Great country, great people, I love Sweden. They understand I'm right. The people there understand I'm right. Take a look at what's happening in Sweden.

Those are...words, I guess? It's hard to say he's wrong when he's not really saying anything at all!

Trump is now selectively banning media institutions he doesn't like from covering White House briefings

Quote:

Among the outlets not permitted to cover the gaggle were news organizations that President Trump has singled out for criticism, including CNN.

The New York Times, The Hill, Politico, BuzzFeed, the Daily Mail, BBC, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Daily News were among the other news organizations not permitted to attend.

Again, this is a terrifying attack on a free and open press that conservatives would rail against if they weren't so enamored with their authoritarian strongman president.

To be honest, what Trump said about Sweden does not matter, him criticizing Sweden on issues that have been smothered for decades, due to PC culture, is forcing a lot of inconvenient facts out in the open.

That is a big win for us who are sick of the status quo.

And once again, behind this double plus good PC new speak, what we mean by "victimhood mentality is a terrible life strategy" is "shut it and know your place".

To be honest, it sounds like Trump saying the word "Sweden" is a blank canvas onto which you can paint whatever your heart desires.

Remember who declared enemy by words and acts, and in what positions. Declaring enmity is as divisive as it gets.

Or do people who make a cause to declare enemies have a privilege to avoid any effects of declaring and acting on enmity?

Yeah, we all know what he thinks about the situation, he buys into the Fox news segment which is a lot closer to the truth than most American Liberals want to admit, don't take my first post too literally, he probably knows very little details.
The main thing is that the Swedish government can not ignore all the international press on this issue, that is awesome.

I think the obstacle to anyone thinking that post was tongue in cheek lies with you and the views you espouse here, not with anyone else.

I was drawing attention to my overall point which seems to have been successful.

I wish we had a great leader like Trump!

It's weird how these straight talkers, shooting from the hip, always need to explain that they didn't really mean what they said later on.

right. we proly will. thats bc the republics have brilliantly instituted 10+ years of voter suppression and gerrymandering. they have promoted fake news outlets like breitbart and fox that brainwash the masses into following their sick agenda without question.

its not bc we are wrong.
