Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

You have any having to do with Trump?
I answered your question and now you want to play twenty questions, no thanks.

The issue is all major news outlets make mistakes and corrections. Trump lies and makes up stories everyday without any corrections. The Trumpsters then try and portray the media as #fakenews when the facts show overwhelming it is Trump that is fakenews. ]

FACTS MATTER!!!

Pretty obvious thing to do considering the criminal case against him.

And the media lies and misleads about Trump all the time as well. Sometimes when there is enough pressure they issue a correction. Almost never if at all is it issued on air. I know we have gone through this many times, but my opinion remains that considering that the ONLY job of a journalist is to tell the truth their lies are MUCH worse than a politician who is expected to lie, even if his lies are worse than other politicians.

Your opinion is biased against the media and for Trump. You can't acknowledge the facts. The fact is the real media (not Hannity and Maddow) very seldom if ever lie on purpose. Trump on the other hand does it on a regular basis. If you believe the President lying to the public on regular basis is not worse than a no name reporter lying then you have your head buried in the sand.

I'm not a trumpster or whatever you call it and i strongly disagree with this statement. The media lies intentionally all the time. They are biased and present things that support their narrative while ignoring things that don't. They tell half truths and often bring on guests who support their narrative and allow them to tell complete lies unchecked. This happens at all of the media companies. If you think that any of them are trustworthy then you are way to far down the rabbit hole.
I'm not saying that this is worse then Trump lying. I think they are both bad.

You know very well that I am not referring to no-name reporters. I would say just the opposite. I am biased against the politicians in that my expectations of them are much lower.

Yes the media is biased. Yes the media slants things. Yes the media tells their half of the story. Yes the media has individuals on that go unchecked.

What I said is they seldom lie on purpose. I am talking about the one or two top newscasters at each outlet. Not the talking head idiots like Hannity and Maddow.

Can you give me some examples of where they lied on purpose this week?

This week. LOL. You go back to 2015 on some side issue to show how CNN apologizes on air but he needs to show from this week.... That was your answer to "how many times. So guess it was once back in 2015 and never about their lies about Trump.

I googled her because I knew she apologized before. It was the first thing that came up.

OK how about this month then?  :P

How about Dan Rather then. We have what about 50+ years to go on. You should be able to thousands of times he lied on purpose.

Rather was gone by the time Trump came into the picture.

He is a great example. One of the top media reporters. So over 50 years how many times did he lie on purpose?
