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

The new Ari announces his arrival.

Illiterate drumpfsters not reading past their fake news headlines as usual

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.”

No conceding that Cadet-in-chief bone spurs thinks America's vets are suckers and losers. Drumpfster's took a far-right headline and ran with it as if it completely vindicated dear leader from multiple reputable media outlets claiming the exact opposite, including beloved Fox (pbuh) News.

The strong illiteracy and lack of reading comprehension among drumpsters is key reason I'm ridin' with Biden. You guys are the new liberals with how little credibility or knowledge you require to believe/disbelieve anything

[Mark1T]

The damage is done. A hit piece knowing full well it may not be true, but they go with it while being aware that the consequences will be minimal.

[128]

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.

Allow me to introduce you to the modern left

Thanks Atlantic, for influencing more military to vote for Trump.

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.

They go unchecked. There's no backlash or punishment for their outright lies. The lies peddled by the media has affected our elections far more than a dozen Russian FB memes. dem0crats know this; they were never appalled at the 'memes'. They just wanted to control narrative and they have the media in their back pocket to help them.

lmao

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

Fuk face dyke reps.

She said her sources were "unimpeachable."

Imagine being in your 50's and still believing in the tooth fairy....

[SultanofBling]

Well, what about the Russian bounties on US Troops?

[cncman]

imagine listening to the filth spewn by a "human" named goldberg in 2020

[Cleveland33]

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...

Remember Beowulf trying to spin everything that happened as collusion somehow? and he actually argued that the Mueller report showed Trump was guilty.

Good times

Not sure if your new brain can understand this but standing by his story doesn’t make his story true.

Then while believing anonymous sources even tho actual named sources have refuted the story, you call others out for what they believe and something about credibility.

Strong everything. JFLOL

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.”

That would be reasonable to include as part of a longer article as it is at least partially verifiable (no show, raining).

The other bit falls into hearsay and gossip. For one journalist to make a bad call? Meh. Multiple major media outlets running it as a headline though?

I am both amused and confused. Not sure if he is:

- preparing to charge
- ripping a huge fart

No one refuted the story. That was another right-wing headline that none of you bothered to read beyond. Even drumpfsters new praise for John Bolton is completely idiotic

“I can’t prove the negative that he never said those things. The president has a habit of disparaging people. He ends up denigrating almost everybody that he comes in contact with whose last name is not Trump." - John Bolton

Strong "denial"

[Cleveland33]

Strong "denial"

can you prove a negative?

[anonymous]

... 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

Crazy to think that "one of the leading media cheerleaders for the attack on Iraq" would do a hit piece on Drumpfh just a couple of days before Trump attacked the brave men and women in the MIC accusing them of starting wars for profit (which is another despicable Trumpkin lie, they don't care about profit when it comes to defending our Greatest Ally)

[Mountaineer92]

when even trump hater john bolton says its false LOL

[~Hades~]

Strong "denial"

“According to what that article said, the president made disparaging remarks about soldiers and people buried in the cemetery in connection with the decision for him not to go to the ceremony that was planned that afternoon, and that was simply false," Bolton said.”

"I don't know who told the author that, but that was false."

Both quotes from Bolton.

No one likes Bolton. We just like facts and confirmed sources because we aren’t deranged.

[GreatOldOne]

Um...nothing changed.

The Atlantic, Fox, CNN, NYT, and Wapo corroborated the source of the story.

So, it's either true or people in the WH are out to get Trump.

Drumpfsters actually believe this, as they could not fathom dear leader denigrating America's vets as he has done numerous times in the past

Nope, its the conspiracy option

The Growing List Of Ex-Trump Officials Who Now Denounce The President

Bolton: In his new book set to be published on June 23, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, Bolton calls him “erratic,” “stunningly uninformed,” and “unfit for office,” set to be published on June 23 in which he also describes several instances when Trump allegedly sought personal political favors or approval from authoritarian leaders.

James Mattis: The former Defense Secretary slammed the president’s photo-op in front of St. John’s church earlier this month and alleged he “tries to divide us” in a scathing statement in The Atlantic.

John Kelly: The former chief of staff has laid into Trump multiple times since leaving in December 2018, most recently saying he would have “argued against” using law enforcement to clear Lafayette Square ahead of Trump’s photo-op outside of St. John's Church, and that he agreed with Mattis that Trump is the first president in his lifetime who “does not try to unite the American people."

Rex Tillerson: Trump’s first secretary of state, called Trump “undisciplined” and told CBS News’s Bob Schieffer“ that it was challenging “to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kind of says [what’s on his mind.]”

Richard Spencer: The former Navy Secretary, fired for going outside his chain of command by proposing a secret agreement with the White House over Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, called Trump's intervention in the war crimes case "shocking and unprecedented” in a Washington Post op-ed in November 2019.

Anthony Scaramucci: The ex-White House communications director became an outspoken critic of the president last year, calling the president “crazy” and “off the rails” following visits to El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, in the wake of two mass shootings, andhe has since joined the leadership of Right Side PAC, a group dedicated to turning out GOP voters for Joe Biden in November.

Gary Cohn: The, former National Economic Council director, who resigned in March 2018 amid differences with Trump over the president's protectionist trade actions, criticized Trump's strategy with the government shutdown in January 2019 and said in December that he’s “concerned” there’s no one left in the White House to stand up to Trump.

Tom Bossert: Former Homeland Security adviser recently denounced Trump for not wearing a mask in public, and told ABC's "This Week" he was "deeply disturbed" by Trump's call with the Ukrainian President at the center of the impeachment proceedings earlier this year — though he also warned not to rush to judgment.

Omarosa Manigault Newman: The former director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, she recorded her firing while in the White House Situation Room and claimed she was fired for information she had about a possible audio recording of Trump saying a racial epithet, and later in her book, Unhinged, wrote that “his decisions and his behavior” were “harming the country.

That would require a conspiracy among Democrats and....The Atlantic, Fox, CNN, NYT, AP, and Wapo who have validated the source...WH aides.

Collusion Between Democrats and the Media Reaches a New Low | Opinion

Sadly, but expectedly, the quick unraveling of Mr. Goldberg's claims by firsthand accounts and direct evidence didn't stop the mainstream media from running with the fake news. Virtually every mainstream outlet fawned over the nonsense fable in one way or another, and Joe Biden cut an ad using it to attack President Trump. Neither the media nor Biden have apologized or retracted their use of the false narrative.

The debunked story in question smacks of "opposition research" that a campaign would try to push out into the media to harm a rival candidate—not a piece that took actual work from a reporter to put together.

Opponents of President Trump likely fed The Atlantic a fake story. The Atlantic published this fake story. Then, Joe Biden and Democrats used it to attack President Trump. It's a disgraceful cycle that we see all too often from self-described reporters who are focused on colluding with the Democratic Party instead of reporting the truth.

The only reason the Democrat-media cabal published this most recent fake news is because they are nervous that President Trump will be re-elected—as they very well should be. The American people can see right through the Left and their media comrades' lies and tricks, and that's exactly why the nation will enjoy another four years of President Trump when Americans re-elect him in November.

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.

God you’re pathetic.
