Donald Trump is awake at 7am on a Holiday weekend throwing haymakers at his haters and rallying the troops.

The capacity for conflict on this man is astonishing. Good conflict.

Everybody in a leadership role in their organization needs to study this man.

Consolidated Trump tweets for this morning :

Quote:“I think today what has happened is that news reporting has become part of the adversary system.” Alan Dershowitz It has become tainted and corrupt! DJT

I love Canada, but they’ve taken advantage of our Country for many years!

Report: There were no FISA hearings held over Spy documents.”It is astonishing that the FISA courts couldn’t hold hearings on Spy Warrants targeting Donald Trump. It isn’t about Carter Page, it’s about the Trump Campaign. You’ve got corruption at the DOJ & FBI. The leadership....
....of the DOJ & FBI are completely out to lunch in terms of exposing and holding those accountable who are responsible for that corruption.” @TomFitton @JudicialWatch

“You have a Fake Dossier, gathered by Steele, paid by the Clinton team to get information on Trump. The Dossier is Fake, nothing in it has been verified. It then filters into our American court system in order to spy on Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s political opponent......
....Donald Trump, and now we find out that there wasn’t even a hearing - that Donald Trump’s 4th Amendment right to privacy was signed away...and someone in there is swearing that this stuff is true, when it wasn’t? This is the scandal here - a police state.” Dan Bongino

There is no political necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal. If we don’t make a fair deal for the U.S. after decades of abuse, Canada will be out. Congress should not interfere w/ these negotiations or I will simply terminate NAFTA entirely & we will be far better off...
....Remember, NAFTA was one of the WORST Trade Deals ever made. The U.S. lost thousands of businesses and millions of jobs. We were far better off before NAFTA - should never have been signed. Even the Vat Tax was not accounted for. We make new deal or go back to pre-NAFTA!

What percentage of the American people are getting a justice-boner over these constant and droning "revelations" about deep state corruption?

It's not a large number I'd wager.

See, here's the deal.

When you reveal a crook and throw them in jail it energises your support base. Like an 80's action film. The bad guy gets killed or arrested and everyone claps and cheers and feels that spike of catharsis.

You know what happens when you reveal a crook (mindnumbingly routinely) and nothing happens to them? No arrest? No jail? No nothing?

You get the opposite of energy and catharsis. You get depression and anxiety.

Constant updates on the illegal actions of deep state drones absent actual arrests and prosecutions is the kind of thing that gives people stomach ulcers and cancer.

Don't make the mistake of judging the vast public by your own perspective. Everyone who comes here is part of an echo chamber, me included. All these tweets are aimed at the idiot fence hoggers, the ones he really needs to convince to swallow the bitter pill and vote republican. Actually seeing him struggle to go up against the deep state is his best weapon. It implicitly conveys 'it's you and I against the swamp' and thus ensures none of us get lax and miss election day in November.

Give the man a break mate, he's moved several mountains since he got into office. Having to spend one week in this man's shoes, most of us here would have long coiled up in a fetal position and given up.
Leonard D Neubache · 2018-09-01 11:42:00 · #82260
I'm not insulting Trump for failing to drain then swamp in 2 years. I'm saying that the constant commentary over every aspect of the proceedings here is misguided when not a single serious swamp creature is in jail yet.

"Here's a detailed analysis on the 1653rd peice of evidence implicating scumbag x. Please clap."

He was Anti-Trump, therefore he is a good guy. Lets not forget how they attacked him relentlessly when he was running for POTUS. The same people brown nosing his funeral and giving speaches.

Seriously. In less than 2 years, the guy has done so much, far more than any of his predecessors had done in their full 4-8 year terms. In terms of draining the swamp and having these scum bags arrested, this was by far going to be his most difficult task. He has very few allies in Washington on this issue and the swamp is resisting at every step. The fact that Trump is still standing and getting stronger after every thing they've thrown at him is remarkable to me. No one else would have survived this intense onslaught.

Trump is tweeting more and more everyday about the swamp and how they've tried to destroy him. He's prepping the battlefield and timing a lot of things for before and after the midterms. If Republicans hold the House and gain in the Senate as I believe they will, then all hell will break loose on the swamp. If Trump has shown this level of patience and fortitude, then he needs to be supported. You want the swamp drained, arrests to start, then get out and hit the ground for your local Republican candidates and vote on election day. Guys need to stop whining, understand Trump's game plan and start taking action to help Trump to finish off the swamp.

Anyone who believes those official polls also believed in this poll back in 2016:

[Image: PredictWise_November8_HistPres.png]

It's not only bias, but also for some people not honestly state the truth even if they are actually supporting the president. When it's not the mainstream official public view - one that people get harassed over, then they are not going to tell the truth. If you behave so viciously towards conservatives and Trump supporters, then you get shitty polls - even if they try to be non-biased for a change (which I doubt as well).
doc holliday · 2018-09-01 13:57:00 · #82269
Yeah those polls were FUBAR back in 2016. The level of sampling bias along with Trump supporters not wanting to respond to polls was staggering. They really made everyone believe that Hillary had it in the bag with that 90% probability so when she lost, it's not at all surprising that they reacted as viciously as they have. If Repubs win again this year, all hell is going to break loose on Washington. This McCain funeral feels like their last stand, their show of unity that they won't be defeated, their "let them eat cake" moment.

That poll was one of the worst ones during the election. Wildly inaccurate. Very heavy liberal sampling. This poll also said that 11% of the US wants Jeff Sessions fired and the rest want him to allow the Russia investigation to finish. 80%? Come on.

The history books will record Meghan McCain's eulogy as a cheap, disgusting, and tawdry little act of moronic self-immolation.

To use her father's funeral to launch personal attacks against POTUS is unbelievably crass.

Let's face it, McCain was always a fraud. We know that. But if his family had even a shred of brains, they could have worked to establish his legacy as a "beacon of patriotism and dignity" or some such. Whether deserved or not, they COULD have done this. That would have been the smart move. That's the smart move when somebody dies...you set them up for mini-sainthood and ok, most people don't argue it.

Instead they intentionally threw his dignity under the bus. At his funeral! With 2 ex-presidents attending! I mean, why not have a giant video screen and get a computer graphic generated recreation of Abraham Lincoln (use some actor for the voice) to tell the funeral attendees that Donald Trump used to fuck hookers? I mean, if you are going to humiliate your father's corpse in front of the entire human race, why hold back Meghan?

I wonder if he asked for this. I don't think even he is that stupid. I think his daughter took it upon herself to use his barely-stiffened corpse as her own personal surf board to gain a tiny bit more fame and power. Jesus H. Christ I hate baby boomer women. They are just the most vile creatures ever to step foot on this planet.

Glad someone said this.

To use your own father's funeral as an excuse to criticize Trump should be unthinkable.

No sweet childhood memories of daddy, Meghan?

Or did the world end, and begin, with Trump's election?

Can't wait for the next edition of the DSM.

TDS is real.

Its all done to keep the EU as cucked as possible. Think what happens to the EU if the common Europeans see that an anti-migrant invasion, free market, and low-tax leader is not only successful, but popular. I've given up trying to talk to the Europeans that I've encountered, they always bring up Trump, and suffer from TDS that would make the cat-moms at Buzzfeed look sane. Tell them their media sucks and they say "ya but still Trump is totally a crazy orange Nazi." From what I've heard, Jake Tapper would be a Tucker Carlson in Europe.

Because they can't help themselves. They are desperate. This funeral and Aretha Franklin's funeral was a show of unity amongst the "elites". A show that they are unified against Trump who is the biggest threat to their existence as elites. Their time is coming and deep down they know it. Hence all this unseemly acting out and making these funerals about Trump.

And who are "they?" The ruling class, the deep state, the administrative state, the globalists, plus their hangers on attempting to enrich themselves through politics (like Comey and Mueller and the Clintons have...as well as Senator Mitch McConnell), and the apparatchiks (eg, the gate-keeping media).

("Apparatchik," means anyone "who held any position of bureaucratic or political responsibility" or functionary. The term comes from the Russian, and thus anyone who "was a full-time, professional functionary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union or the Soviet government apparat [аппарат, apparatus]" -Websters)

Think of it: the Billionaire class backed the obvious treasonous criminal Hillary AGAINST Trump by 20 to 1. Always remember that incredible, stupefying fact, and always remind any doubters that the wealthy ruling class are Leftists, backing the Neo-Marxists, whether in education or corporate (Google, Twitter) censorship, or funding Marxist-socialists (eg, Andrew Gillum, "D" for Florida governor, funded by eco-wacko billionaire Tom Steyer and by $19 Billions - already dedicated! - by billionaire George Soros).

The rich fancy themselves as apologetic saviors. I say "Fuck' em all!"

Seemed a bit weird....even if it was true.

The British media used to have some right-wing influence, but no more.

Over at Breitbart, my friend - former Telegraph columnist James Delingpole - did and interview with an author of a series of critical books on UK education, on Brexit, on bad Tory PMs like. David Craig is actually a retired management consultant who writes "for fun," he says. And Craig's new book on the rapid decline of UK university education gained no reviews in the mass media whatever. (You can listen to Craig's interview at Breitbart-London at Dellingpole's interview LINK on the lower right-hand of the page.)

In the second half of the interview, Craig and Dellers commiserate on the fact that there's now only one accepted public narrative: the PC Neo-Marxist one that valorizes whatever victim group Du Jour is in favor in our New Owellian World Order that day. Contrary-wise, the New Good-Think requires the persecution of Bad-Think. And since Trump is one of those powerful Bad-thinkers, questioning - if not challenging - the New Benediction, Trump must be bashed!

They also commiserate on how London newspapers once offered lively debate of issues and genuine critical thinking not many years ago. No longer! For example, the pro-Brexit daily "The Express" got sold to a leftist media conglomerate by it's wealthy Right-leaning owner and has degenerated into uncontroversial conformity like the rest.

Furthermore, the Euro-press in general only know about the view of the US from New York and Washington, DC, and therefore only reflect the same Leftist views. They really don't know what the rest of the US - deplorable or not - think.

An active blogger ("neoneocon" and now the "newneo.com" or something at newly revised blog platform) and sometimes writer at the Weekly Standard, Jean Kaufman, was in Italy (Tuscany and Rome) for a family function this August. She says the cabby in Rome asked her what she thought about Trump?

She dodged the question by saying that greater men than Trump have sat in his cab before her. It was a sorry-assed response (which her readers did not hold her to account for). Kaufman voted against Hiilary, and thus was quite reluctant to support Trump. But she's honestly been pleasantly surprised by the President's strong and effective performance since the election.

If I were Kaufman, I would have said that if you don't watch his rally speeches, one does not know Trump. People who have known him in person for some time, like Sebastian Gorka who was in the White House, say that that's how he is in person - completely transparent. Second, I would have said that the People voted for real change; and that's why the ruling class hates Trump! Therefore, the media simply echo the Ruling Class. And if one relies on them, that's seriously misleading.

Italy has had it's own rebellious and ongoing struggle against the EU-loving ruling class! Their government has changed only months ago because off it. The response that I would have offered is much more effective at cutting through all the propaganda, smears, and lies about Trump, and explains real-world matters clearly to a stranger.

It was a sadly missed opportunity to enlighten an Italian.

Now, to your initial question: "What's this co-ordinated attack?"

I don't know but it could well be. (SEE new my post on the Soros thread for the Media Matter's coordinated de-platforming of the Right since January, 2017.) Or it could just be how the Left media in Europe only reflects the US Left-media.

Back in the Obama years, there was a coordinated and secret list fo journalists, influential authors and academics. It was so obvious that Andrew Breitbart - the founder of Breitbart online - offered a heft reward for the lists release!

It ultimately came out as "Journalist" scandal of 200 such coordinated media-mavens who organized to defend Obama and radical Leftist Obamunism. After that was exposed as a cabal, it broke up but obviously reformed! (Breitbart died from a heart attack, and no offered another reward.) Thus, the "Son-of-Journalist" meme was born.

And since Hillary lose, either "Son-of" continues or was re-doubled by the Apparatchiks, undoubtedly to coordinate a "United Front" as the Marxists used to call it.

You can find a history of "Journolist" scandal at Conservapedia (which retains old Wiki pieces on controversial topics, before Wikipedia defaced and distorted their one-time fairly reliable reference articles).

Victor Davis Hanson chronicled how debased, dangerous and silly the so-called media first became with the inauguration of Trump in January, 2017:

Quote:In just his first month in office, reporters have already peddled dozens of fake news stories designed to discredit the President—to such a degree that little they now write or say can be taken at face value.

No, Trump did not have any plans to invade Mexico, as Buzzfeed and the Associated Press alleged.

No, Trump’s father did not run for Mayor of New York by peddling racist television ads, as reported by Sidney Blumenthal.

No, there were not mass resignations at the State Department in protest of its new leaders, as was reported by the Washington Post.

No, Trump’s attorney did not cut a deal with the Russians in Prague. Nor did Trump indulge in sexual escapades in Moscow. Buzzfeed again peddled those fake news stories.

No, a supposedly racist Trump did not remove the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the White House, as a Time Magazine reporter claimed.

No, election results in three states were not altered by hackers or computer criminals to give Trump the election, as implied by New York Magazine....

[T]he election in 2008 of Barack Obama marked a watershed, when a traditionally liberal media abandoned prior pretenses of objectivity and actively promoted the candidacy and presidency of their preferred candidate. The media practically pronounced him god, the smartest man ever to enter the presidency, and capable of creating electric sensations down the legs of reporters. The supposedly hard-hitting press corps asked Obama questions such as, “During these first 100 days, what has …enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most…?”

Obama, as the first African-American president—along with his progressive politics that were to the left of traditional Democratic policies, enraptured reporters who felt disinterested coverage might endanger what otherwise was a rare and perhaps not-to-be-repeated moment.

We are now in a media arena where there are no rules. The New York Times is no longer any more credible than talk radio; CNN—whose reporters have compared Trump to Hitler and gleefully joked about his plane crashing—should be no more believed than a blogger’s website. Buzzfeed has become like the National Inquirer.
