monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

@layman,

I sometimes doubt the 11 million # and I actually think the # is higher. When the pro-illegal immigrant groups agree on the # you know something is wrong. For years they denied it was ever that high and then suddenly they agreed with it, why? Could it be because they know the actual # is quite a bit higher? They agree to 11 million knowing it is closer to 15 or 18 million? How do they truly know if we don't even ask during the national census.

@Blickers,

@Baldimo,
News flash: The government cannot prevent any citizen from going to any country they wish.

However, this president seems unaware that the highest government positions do not have to be stocked with individuals sympathetic to totalitarian governments and just off the Kremlin payroll.

This made me laugh at you.

@Baldimo,

How many of those 11 million actually voted? The commission went after one name on those registers and it turns out the voter was alive.

What I object to in this commission is Trump is hardly unaffected by this information nor is he unbiased. Other than what is already publically available, I don't think the federal government has any business getting personal data information from voters from all fifty states. Much less giving it into the hands of Trump and his re-election campaign bid.

As always, cheap-ass attempt to control speech backfires on CNN

Quote:

German Lopez, a reporter for left-leaning Vox, tweeted: “I can’t emphasize how bad this is on CNN’s part. This is basically ‘don’t post stuff we don’t like or we’ll dox you.’ Extremely unethical.”

WikiLeaks tweeted, "Trump was bad. CNN is worse: CNN threatens amateur satirist behind Trump video: make fun of us again and we dox you."

Since the CNN article was published, many social media users also have created dozens of other GIFs of Trump bashing, brawling and scuffling with a humanoid CNN logo.

Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz even suggested on Twitter that CNN could have a legal problem.

“Troubling. I assume CNN's lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker's IP...it's a GA crime if they threatened to ‘Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule....’” he wrote

Nice try, cheese-eaters.

Quote:

CNN has adamantly defended its handling of the story, issuing a statement Wednesday saying the network did not publish the user’s name out of concern for his safety...

This doesn't "defend" anything, it just makes the extortion all the more obvious and serious.

They have explicitly threatened to out him, and thereby compromise his safety, if he makes another post they don't like, eh? If he does that, his safety can go to hell.

CNN: "You do that again, and your fuckin safety is gunna be in jeopardy, pal, see? So don't EVER do it again."

Trump has played the lame-ass MSM beautifully. He's keeps antagonizing, baiting, and provoking them to the point where they have lost all sense.

They are always looking to throw wild-ass haymaker to knock him out, and only expose themselves to defeat when they do it.

He's like Ali rope-a-doping Foreman, telling him in clinches: "That all you got, George? Sheeit, they told me you packed a powerful punch." Foreman was enraged and just kept trying to hit harder, until he had spent all his energy, at which point Ali knocked his tired ass out.

@layman,

Here's a rhetorical question: How could CNN be so stupid? Their actions are quite disturbing and pathetic as well. Free speech belongs to all of us.

P.S. I'd like to side with CNN, but not when they do something like this. Talk about a chilling effect on freedom of speech! Public figures and institutions are often ridiculed in public discourse. It's just part of life, and it's definitely a major part of free speech whether we like it or not.

See my last post, eh, Bill? They're desperate, are panicking, and will swing blindly, hoping to land a punch.

Their approval rating is even lower than Trump's and they know they aint winnin. They have 800,000 viewers; Trump has over 100 million followers on social media. They haven't intimidated Trump into silence; he just gets more defiant by the day and they can't stand that.

They are accustomed to "blackmailing" politicians into deference by threatening them with "bad press." They've lost that "power" with Trump and now that their tried and true bully tactic has failed, they're clueless about what to do next.

@wmwcjr,

It's not just the media, Bill, it's the entire crew of left-wing progressives. Their stock-in-trade, for well over 50 years, it to subject all who disagreement with them to as much ridicule and verbal abuse as possible, calling them every epithet in the book (with to go-to choice being "racist").

They devote themselves to actively suppressing free speech as much as they possibly can.

@layman,

I don't like Trump, but I have to agree with what you say about CNN. The video at the center of this controversy is really not all that offensive. It's just standard political expression. CNN is acting like a thin-skinned bully.

Sorry, I gotta go.

CNN is failing

The L.A. Times wrote:

Dish Network is prepared to permanently unplug a pillar of cable television — CNN, the pioneering 24-hour news network whose fortunes have faded.

Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen warned Tuesday that pay-TV providers must be more selective of the channels they carry. "Twenty years ago, CNN was a must-have channel, but it's not a top 10 network anymore ... unless they find the plane, the Malaysian plane," Ergen said on a conference call, making a jab at CNN's seemingly round-the-clock coverage last spring of missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.

Ergen said it would have been a "disaster" just a decade ago to remove CNN just before a big election. However, he said there have been few subscriber losses after the channel's removal because viewers now have plenty of sources for news.

I was getting worried, that you might have renovated yourself into some kind of injury. But you're not as clumsy as I am: I once tripped on a large length of plywood, and it took a while for the knee to recover.

@ossobucotemp,

Renos at site one completed and then onto a refinish of our (much too large) deck here. But I've been offline for a couple of weeks and I think that will be my status in future. I don't think the US is recoverable politically.
