You criticize cherry-picking and then... do exactly that. Would I have like his taxes disclosed? Sure. Is it painfully obvious that he was screwed whether he released them or not? Absolutely. If he releases them, it gets picked apart, he gets crucified, and every little business transaction conducted over 40 years would've been combed over by the media to find something, anything, to suit whatever the narrative of the week is. How many billionaires have been elected in the last 30+ years (using your timeline), exactly? To make this clearer for you, since you seem hell-bent on "proving" that I'm not really a middle of the road guy, I would've said the same exact thing about Bloomberg. Up to him if he discloses his taxes. Up to him if he wants to disclose what his 23+ NDA's were. The standards I apply to him would be the same (for me) whether he's a Democrat or not.
I didn't say the news is "picking on him", I said it's more biased than anything I've ever seen in my lifetime and I don't have a dog in the hunt. I hate his stupid tweets and he deserves whatever shit he gets for them. Pick apart all of the idiotic things that he's said, that's fine too. No problem with that. I'm taking about "anonymous sources". I'm talking about classified information leaked to the press. I'm talking about sound/video bites deliberately edited so that things are completely out of context. I'm talking about stories posted without verification and subsequently retracted, I'm talking flat-out refuted (with evidence) stories that are printed/posted anyway and more and more. Criticize the idiot all you want but let's not pretend that this isn't the most contentious media, along with social media, in the history of the planet. If he were a Democratic President I'd be saying THE EXACT SAME THING if this were going on.
And, honestly, I don't give a shit about how many times he was married or who he cheated on. I didn't give a shit about that with Bill Clinton either.
Here's a great article about it: https://nypost.com/2019/10/13/inside...esident-trump/

Gymkata: I mean look at da lil playah woblin his way into our hearts in the sig awwwwwww
It technically isn't their fight, since at the core, the protests are about Black lives (even if the shitty government is 100% responsible for those lives ending), but there was a part of me hoping that enough people in DC swarmed the WH and overwhelmed police/SS, citizen arrested anyone in the building they could get to, and then did the same for Congress. That's literally the only way to achieve the reset now.
This is, in fact, complete bs and if I didn't already steer clear of CNN I would. I don't think we discussed it at the time but I definitely remember being disgusted at Obama's visit. Rushmore is a goddamned scar on this country. That said – and it ultimately doesn't matter AND I could be wrong – I don't believe Obama faced Native opposition to his being there?
One thing I'll spar w/you all about: Stop caring about hypocrisy w/regard to politics. Everyone is a hypocrite about at least one major political thing. Keep it up with our stupid news media, but like, until we get that reset mentioned above, it's pointless to bring up.I dislike the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle.
YUP. Holy shit that'll be disturbing to see, too.
Also a big yup on both counts. Re authoritarians: I mainly want the Ivanka videos to surface because once people start rationalizing away CSA it's 100% okay to kill them. And you can bet some prominent people will start chirping about "she liked it" and "how come she never said anything" and whatnot if they ever get out.
Another yup. It really seemed like she was a lot more independent than she ended up being. Fell right in line on all the major things.
I think only anonymous sources on the left will be discounted. Plenty on the right will appear and be valid to half the country. Remember how no one on the right questioned Trump's "extremely credible sources" about Obama's birth certificate, how Obama supposedly applied to Occidental as a foreign student, or how he supposedly ruined America's credit? They also accept it as gospel whenever he uses "many people are saying" or similar stuff.
Well yeah but also right-leaning sources are usually just lies.
Re: Looks like Ghislaine Maxwell's going to "commit suicide" soon. Ellen Pao had to lock her account minutes after posting about all this. https://twitter.com/RelaxGeniusTV/st...20970506760192
Ellen Pao is either 1) Lying for what she thought would be positive attention or 2) actually knew about child sex trafficking and did NOTHING.
Either way she continues to be total human garbage.
