It's hilarious the people most wedded to the concept of one's "own truth" are most upset that Trump "spews lies".

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

I did watch a bit after the Townhall. Jake Tapper was unhinged.

The thing of it is if Vivek is the nominee, they can’t smear him personally. They’ll have to attack his ideas and his ideas are great.

That's what delusion looks like. They love that Joe Biden is taking down America as we know it to complete Baracks fundamental transformation.

"expert contributors"
Based on the brief bios provided, and those at links to their books, the alleged expertise is often vague/elusive. Some merely appear to be "experts" at contributing opinions.

If we're laughing you're losing.

wildswan म्हणाले...

The lead in most of the stories is outrage that a former US President with strong support in the US should be allowed to speak to the US public on any mainstream media. There doesn't seem to be a lot of confidence that the writers could refute his positions with fact and reason. There doesn't seem to be embarrassment at opposing free speech.

Well that’s true enough. And not all that controversial.

Progs can have it both ways: enjoy the ecstasy of outrage while promoting Trump as the GOP candidate.

The deranged are those who find Trump the liar to be correct and the media biased. Packing the CNN live audience with those who laugh and applaud Trump's continued insults against the woman who just beat the shit out of him in court to the tune of $5 million is totally sick.

Watch for this video to appear in an improbable court appeal if TFG should even dare.

Their whole plan relies totally on withholding relevant information so that reasonable people buy their arguments. It started with global warming, when, for instance, we were told that warming threatens polar bears, when in fact, polar bears pre-date the Eemian period, when it was far warmer than today for about three thousand years, even to the point where the Maldives were underwater.

Yes, that's right, the Maldives are a flood plain within the natural course of the geologic history of our planet and just a few thousand years ago, during what they used to call the Holocene Optimum, the Arctic was far warmer than today, due to the fact that the noonday sun was directly overhead as far north as Alaska, indeed the whole planet was warmer by several degrees.

When they learned that they could suppress facts like the above simply by replacing the editors of the climate journals, their attention started turning to other areas. They have gotten people to go along with their fascist schemes by convincing them that they are "saving the planet" when honest discussion of the actual "risks to the planet" are not allowed, because they know that the science is too weak.

So here we are, with a press that has been utterly co-opted, by people with a combined trillions of dollars in private wealth, in the name of saving the planet. After all, if hungry people want to build a fertilizer plant in Africa to lessen their dependence on Europe and America, this will create global warming, and so can't be allowed. (Actual case) The way this is controlled is through control of the currency. This is why we provoked a war with Russia, we can't tolerate competition anymore than a wife beater can allow his wife a new boyfriend.

It's all of a piece.

CNN's town hall with Trump "was just disgraceful on every level," @JoeNBC says.

"The most shocking part" was seeing an audience "lapping it up."

"What I saw last night was as chilling as anything I've seen on television since January the 6th."

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

We all know why. CNN needs ratings and Trump is a ratings rainmaker. It’s simple math but still too hard for progressives to manage.

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

Thank you CNN for building a large enough catapult to launch the Trump train into orbit. Watching him run over the CNN skank on his way to orbit was a beautiful way to help CNN circle the drain with a little more vigor.

The left and CNN (but I repeat myself) WANT Trump as the GOP nominee.

They know how to beat him. They destroy him, mock him, call him a liar, and get his 35-42% base all riled up.

Santos and CNN-Trump took the spotlight off Biden corruption. There's that too.

rcocean म्हणाले...

Thanks Althouse. You read the liberal/left crap, so I don't have to. The Liberal/left MSM has lied about TRump. They've made up things, distorted things, and attacked him 365/24/7 for over 7 years now.

My life got so bettter when I stopped watching TV news. Or reading any MSM article about Trump, except to "spot the lie". I read the NYTs, WSJ, and WaPO, like Soviet citizens used to read Pravada. You have to sift throught the lies and propaganda to get to some truth.

John Henry:

I loved (past tense) Trump too. But he walked into a trap on January 6. Stupid.

After he is convicted in DC federal court (and he will be), Trump will be unelectable.

Vivek and Ron don't have the baggage that Trump does. Felony conviction is a ton of baggage.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

That list is definitive proof that my theory is correct.

THE DEMOCRXICT LEFT WANT TRUMP. They say -*ugh* as a cover - but they want Trump v Biden.
They know Trump is a democrxt get out the vote machine.

These are the stupid people Trump was talking about. They are threatening implicitly to cancel CNN. LOL!

Despite the ongoing barrage from Pravda, it is challenging to accept that there are actually people who believe there is "no evidence" of 2020 election rigging or that it has been "proved" that the election was legitimate.

Such people are not merely stupid, they are dangerous.

rcocean म्हणाले...

I've noticed this about fake Republicans and Fake Conservatives. Instead of attacking the D's and liberal/left - they attack Trump.

Which gives the game away. Bad move on their part.

fake Republicans

Republicans were founded as the anti-slavery party. Abolitionists. Anti-Choice... Anti-Human Rites, today.

Fake Conservatives

Decepticons. That said, conservatives are easy to mischaracterize: Declaration and Constitution. Fortunately, we no longer perceive emanations from penumbras under the twilight faith.

n.n म्हणाले...

"no evidence" of 2020 election rigging or that it has been "proved" that the election was legitimate.

It was proven with diverse testimony in diverse courts where Americans were ruled to have standing that the election was rigged. The counterclaim is that democracy prevailed and that the votes did not matter.

Yes, because extraneous videos are routinely played during appellate hearings.

How many appellate cases have you personally handled, Gadfly? I'll wager ... zero.

AA should also be outraged and unafraid to say so, but she has become the prisoner of the collection of commenters she has somehow accumulated and held onto over the life of the blog. Very few of the outraged will comment here, given the invective against such comments approved by the blog author every day.

Dopey, the NYC jury found that he did NOT rape her so saying he did not is now established. The NYC judge (Obama or Clinton appointed) said any touch was assault so they rule he had assaulted her. How is just a mystery too tough for you to understand at sub 100 IQ.

readering म्हणाले...

Jury ruled she was sexually assaulted. There was a third, lesser charge presented of unlawful touching, but jury did not need to get to that. Turns out there was a Trumpy jury whom p moved to strike as biased (presumably after using up peremptory challenges), but the judge denied the motion. Unsealed after verdict. Perhaps that juror rejected rape. Unanimity of the 8 required in federal civil trials (unlike 9 out of 12 in Cal state court). So majority could have gone with sexual assault to avoid a mistrial. Have not heard of any having been interviewed yet. Judge kinda discouraged them from talking.
