Welcome to Thunderdome

Protestor gets close enough to throw Russian flags at Trump.

They need to throw the book at this guy and bury him under a jail. If they let this go, it'll only encourage more behavior like this.

more like "towards Trump" based on that video.

Hey remember the dossier about Trump and Russia?

Clinton and the DNC were behind it all.

People know what they know, and they know it is true.

Just in case you thought CNN was being unbiased, that is not their top story.

Their top story is that Team Trump had contacted Wikileaks about Hillary's emails during the campaign.

First of all, I don't get why this is a big deal at all. They wanted to use her emails (do I need to "lol" every time I type that?) against her.

Secondly, I guess it is important because it involved people in his campaign. Oh wait, no it didn't:

No one from the Trump campaign was copied on the email, the sources said. Nix sent the email in summer 2016, two sources said, but it is not clear whether he sent it before or after Cambridge Analytica was brought onto the campaign.

So why is this their top news story over the revelation of yet another lie by Clinton and the DNC? Russian links to Trump have been their top stories throughout the campaign and during his first year, yet the true source of those rumors being unmasked doesn't warrant the same coverage?

If you're keeping score at home, that news about Clinton and the DNC is no longer on CNN's front page despite breaking today. It's also not in the 8 headlines under "Today in Politics". The "Someone on Trump's team" that wasn't really on Trump's team story is still there though...

Don't worry about them being unbiased though because all 7 of their top stories are negative Trump stories, including opinion pieces.

For comparison, also left leaning Yahoo has the Clinton/DNC story as their top story and the other non-story is nowhere on their front page.

Anyone who thinks CNN isn't as biased as Fox can kiss my ass.

I think CNN is WAY more biased than Fox.

I get the impression that Fox is pandering to their viewers, but CNN thinks it is in a fanatical holy war.

Trump orders "more extreme vetting" after NY truck attack.

This actually could be how he enforces his ban without actually having a ban.

To be fair to his critics, Uzbekistan wasn't included any any of the revisions of his travel ban.

How could that be, I was told it was a MUSLIM travel ban, by the MSM. They were really vocal and angry and adamant about it so I know it has to be true.

True. Honesty check...

Who had heard of Uzbekistan before this attack? I sure hadn't.

I had. One of the former Soviet republics. Land-locked, iirc, near the other -Stans (kryrgystan, tazikistan <sp>)... Geography 10 ftw!

A Twitter employee shut down Trump's page on their last day.

Thankfully, CNN is there to furiously finger bang itself while posting snarky comments by left leaning people.

I don't know who this person is, but this commercial I saw on TBS during Family Guy made me think I was looking at a legitimate insane person. He's just so god damned sincere, laying out his fever dream to us...

Well, I wouldn't say he's got a firm grip on reality, but is he insane or just all in on a certain perspective?

I mean, he starts off by saying we're on the brink of nuclear war. Does he really believe that?

If so, then yes, he's pretty much drank all the left wing kool-aid.

If not, then he's just a fear mongering asshole trying to manipulate people into helping him achieve his politics.

And how is that different from the people he's warning us about?

I see his ads on CNN. Not sure that he's swaying anyone. CNN has been hell bent on destroying their credibility as of late. So I'm content to watch him piss away his money.

Trump answers question in a dumb way and the MSM is going nuts over it.

It's not hard to piece together what he meant, and fuck "reporters" for trying to put their own interpretation on it to fit their agenda. However, it IS a dumb response. It leaves itself open to obvious criticism, and completely ducks the intent of the question.

He should have said: "A mistake was made that allowed an individual to buy a gun he shouldn't have been allowed to own. The regulations were there, so making them stricter wouldn't have made a difference."

He does that to himself a lot. Same thing yesterday (or whenever) when he was saying the Japanese should build their cars here instead of shipping them over to sell. But he said this after already saying that some Japanese car manufacturers DO build their cars here. He tends to contradict himself a lot within the same paragraph of speech and opens himself open to being taken out of context.

He's not very good at this.

Syria joins the climate agreement leaving us as the only nation not on the list.

Lefties are going nuts saying Trump is the stupidest person alive and we're all going to die.

Righties are telling them they're fucking morons for wanting to sign an agreement that makes us foot the bills, while we're already cleaning up our act, and says the two biggest polluters, India and China, don't have to do shit for 15-20 years.

Who is right?

Trump isn't invited to climate change summit.

Not for nothing, but if "the fate of the world" is at stake why are these idiots playing politics? Instead of trying to save face by banishing him, they should be begging him to come. What's more important: This agreement failing as the U.S. refuses to join because of pride on both sides or the end of all life on the planet?

So Trump's in South Korea and giving a speech on North Korea.

Here's CNN's coverage of the speech:
Trump tells North Korea "Do not try us".

Notice the first several paragraphs talk about Trump willing to use force, wanted to use symbolism to show strength, and talks of insults he hurled at them. (And, to be fair, this reporting wasn't really critical, and was more supportive of what he was saying.) Still, it's curious that not until way later in the article does it suggest his speech had a conciliatory tone.

Al Jazeera started off their article with the conciliatory stuff and briefly mentioned the insult flinging several paragraphs in.

CBS' headline is Trump tells North Korea to "make a deal".

Not taking a shot at CNN on this, and I actually think the writer was agreeing with Trump, just find it curious to see how the various outlets report the same story.
