imagine being a leftist who touts how smart and well educated you are yet fall for things like this every day

[A-GAME]

The party of naivety.

[HoganIsGOAT]

I fully expect similar attacks to continue this week.

lmao

I wonder what fuk face dyke on Fox is going to say now.

I liked Griffin until Trump starting pulling troops from Syria, and she went full neocon mouthpiece.

I'll believe it when I see a retraction. This doesn't change at all for me the fact we know something like this, even if not true, fits like a glove with a wealth of other petty and despicable comments Trump has made.

[DrumsNotDead]

It doesn't matter if it's wrong. People have already seen it and decided it's real in their heads. Most people live off headlines only, real or fake. This is why apologizing for fake stories is trivial and useless. The damage is already done.

It's now being alleged that Jeffrey Goldberg, a huge fan of mob movies, may have lifted the Trump quote from a Godfather movie

[ghostfacedup]

yeah no chit, GoldBERG. Every. Single. Time.

[davik]

hopefully he gets sued, like hogan vs gawker

[leafs43]

It's amazing that the media can flat out lie, not to be confused with half truths or slanted statistics, but just straight lie right through their teeth and not receive any punishment at an attempt to sully someones name.

“Even if it’s false, I’ll still believe it”


Maximum trolling or maximum *******. Hard to tell these days.

This has got to be deliberate stuffing of words into my mouth. No way you could mistakenly interpreted my post like that.

[Jhamaican]

... goldberg...

they knew it was wrong from the start. They don't care. it is not news anymore, but simply propaganda.

you know they laugh about the propaganda they put out behind closed doors

[Sakeoe]

If it was only the hair thing, maybe, very maybe you could have had some basis to believe it was real.

Add in the stuff about soldiers that died being losers and did they even fight on the right side and no functional human being should have had any doubt in their mind that it was fake. If you read that article and genuinely thought it was real you have some serious issues that I suggest you reflect on.

You just swallow whatever trash is thrown at Trump. Are you guys ever gonna learn? How many attacks have been thrown at him and yet they all turn out to be bullchit. This is just another bullchit attack that the media runs with and then never apologizes when it is proven to be a lie.

Not necessarily, my criticisms of Trump are based on a long litany of verifiable facts and evidence. That is how I came to dislike Trump and vociferously voice my dissent, because of the mountain of facts demonstrating his sociopathy, his pathological lying and his criminality, not in spite of them.


And I see here the epitome of irony. The dyed in the wool cultists would let Trump chit in their mouth if they thought a liberal would have to smell it. Trumpism is the very exemplar of negative partisanship.

Actually you are completely wrong. People who support Trump don't necessarily like everything he says, but they see the clear media bias against him. Like I said they have attacked him nonstop and every attack has resulted in it being debunked or complete bullchit. I mean you still swallow the lie about the whole Russia hoax.

The fact that the media and neocons are against him is a good thing in my eyes. He hasn't gotten us into wars and they don't like it because that's how they function. This latest thing about the soldiers is just the latest hoax that is now being debunked. Look I don't necessarily think Trump is the most tact Preisdent ever. I honestly never thought he would be. Just look who he is, a billionaire playboy reality star.

Russia was most definitely not a hoax and I've not made an incorrect statement about the Mueller Report. There were 34 or so indictments which resulted from Mueller's findings, people went to prison from the probe. They are now convicted felons.


You do understand that, right? People went to prison because of what Mueller uncovered?

And there we have it....a retard.

You accuse the media of lying , yet here you are doing much worst. He has not conceded the main point in his story is incorrect. There was rain, yet every other world leader was able to make it to that cemetery. You can’t drive in rainy weather?

“When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed the rain for the last-minute decision, saying ‘the helicopter couldn’t fly’ and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true. Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead,” Goldberg wrote, citing only anonymous sources.

Despite conceding that the cancellation due to weather might be true, Goldberg stood by his story about President Trump’s trip to the cemetery, claiming that “the public’s interest in meeting this information outweigh the ambiguities or the difficulties of anonymous sourcing” and that he will “be continuing to make that effort to move this material directly onto the record.”

Were any of them convicted of Russian collusion?


No?


Yeah, it was most definitely a hoax.


It even says there was no evidence of Russian collusion right in the damn report. You should try actually reading it sometime instead of just taking CNN's word for it...

Stop trying to explain this away.
The Atlantic ran an obvious hit piece based on an unverifiable premise (anonymous sources). Now he's starting to backtrack, but it's too late. The narrative was picked up and will now be cemented into liberal folklore. just like the female wage gap, and Trump being a Russian asset. The leftwing dupes will believe it to their dying day.

I have read all the relevant sections where it pertains to obstruction etc. Where does it say what you claim it says? I think you are misrepresenting Mueller's words if you speak of what he said in the collusion. You're making the classic mistake of using collusion as a shorthand for criminality, where Mueller makes it explicit that the word has no actual legal meaning.


You don't shout Checkmate! in a game of poker and declare yourself the winner.

The special counsel found that Russia did interfere with the election, but “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple efforts from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.”

In quotation marks are the EXACT WORDS from the report.

Are you ever going to hold the media accountable to some kind of standard based on truth telling?
