Russia lost steam so now it's on to stirring up racial division and pinning it on Trump.

[Headhunter]

They can't find where Trump was involved in any Russian collusion and the obstruction of justice narrative is a little thin on real evidence so it's back to the old play book but now it's ramped up to cause social unrest which is always bad for the sitting President.

Lot's of money being poured in by the left to fund protests and counter protests. The worse the violence gets the more they and their media friends will declare their fake moral outrage.

 

[TPOKE]

Antifa, KKK, BLM... who cares? A majority of them are miserable, angry, non contributors who just like to stir things up. But, like the OP said, staying relevant by the media and financial backing.

When the racist story gets old...the Russia narrative will be back. It's a cycle...and I'm not talking about a Honda either.

 

[NZ Poke]

Remember --- they called John McCain racist too.

All the morning shows this morning were asking "is this now the time that Republicans will finally say we cannot support this President anymore?"

A very orchestrated effort by the media. They haven't learned a damn thing since the election.

 

[Rdcldad]

i'm dealing with some difficulties

and this is a validating thread for me on a personal level

this charlottesville thing was allowed to brew via gross crisis mismanagement into what we see now

a woman senselessly lost her life

meanwhile 9 dead 30 wounded in chicago every weekend

racial division gets pinned on trump

dem mayor finds the spotlight

trumps gotta be who he is anyone less would have been swallowed long ago

James O'Keefe (Project Veritas) has undercover reporters embedded throughout mainstream media, recording undercover footage.

Day after day.....

O'Keefe said yesterday that Autumn is going to be the fall of fake news....

David Brock announced not more than ten days ago that he was going to start an onslaught on Trump. I believe he alluded to using the media as well.

There's a line in the movie The Big Lebowski that fits Trump perfectly in this situation.

Reminded me of a quote from George Eliot:

Any coward can fight a battle when he is sure of winning; but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat.

You guys keep moving the goal posts. Is this the new definition of #winning?

 

[davidallen]

Anyone else remember laughing at the defensiveness of blaming "a vast right wing conspiracy"? Good times...

The only thing, and I do mean, the ONLY thing, that I liked about the last election was watching America's version of Dear Leader, lose.

So, yeah, call it winning or in my case, "won". She lost so the current four years is already in the W column for me. I voted for the L's just to show my disgust for the elites and to try and bolster the best chance at a 3rd party in Oklahoma.

And this is where most Trump supporters will end up... Claiming victory against a hypothetical while Trump burns it to the ground.

The economy is swinging in a positive direction -- small business confidence and consumer confidence are thriving.

The Atlanta Fed just forecasted 3.7% GDP growth for the 3rd quarter.

Imagine if the GOP wing of the Uniparty actually provides consumer / business tax cuts? (While starting massive infrastructure improvement programs -- both of which truly energized the economy)


The Uniparty's biggest fear is that Trump succeeds --- hence, they would much rather keep the country's attention focused on race, identity politics, and Russia.

So your saying Trump has screwed up the Obama recovery yet? Good to know....

Small business owners were hurt the most under the Obama economy. Big banks, big pharma, and multinational corporations did best.


The Democrats, in their transformation into neoliberalism, became the party that represents the big corporate establishment it once stood against.


This is why Hillary (with corporate media assistance) was able to cheat Bernie Sanders and his millions of followers out of the nomination --- and why multinational corporations and big banks overwhelmingly backed Hillary against Trump.

I thought you had a keen business mind? If you do, you'd understand the irony here.

@Rdcldad may have a point about your propensity to snipe in one-liners that seem self evident in a distorted context while, on the whole, adding no real value to the conversation.

How much value does it add to the conversation to predominantly question the value add of others rather than adding to the conversation? Kinda a meta thing, but you should think about it a little.

As to the intent of the original statement, if you think Trump bent the curve somehow in regards to the direction of the economy, would love to see some evidence. My reading shows some pickup of momentum but generally a continuation of the gains seen in the past 2 years or so.

 

[purkey]

I can tell you without a doubt the world economy and especially the US economy changed direction on November 8, 2016. And it changed in a positive direction. It was dead in the water up until that date, and had been for at least 2 years prior to that. So, all this blah blah blah crap will go away soon enough. I watched an old "all in the family" and it's funny to watch that and then see what today brings. What a change. It's just something that the media likes to think they put a focus on and think it's life changing. It's not.

wait til the media figures out andrew jackson is on the $20 bill

they'll go nuts

 

[TheRedSon]

So 27% of the American public approves of the President's response to what happened this weekend, but it's like 80%+ among those that contribute to this forum (24/7).

It's possible to find the President's remarks offensive and out of touch, even against what this nation stands for, and still support his agenda. I imagine that's exactly what Republicans in Congress will do when they return to D.C.

As to the arussia thing "dying down..."
It has barely started. Mueller's staff just hasn't leaked the way the White House has.

Remember --- they called John McCain racist too.

Who is they, and when did they do it?

 

[squeak]

The left is so smart they'll start burning them in protest.

I wonder if anyone in the MSM has been to Budapest?

 

[davidallen]

Wait is this another thread from a Trumpet talking about Russia?
