Politics The Debate Thread

Political news, public policy, government decisions, global affairs, and discussion.
It's not the first time that the mainstream media tried to suggest that Trump is in favour of censorship.
You are right it is not the first time the media has said that.
However, I do know for sure that he tweeted it yesterday.
 
Well the MSM has been on anti-Trump crusade since 2015, so it's not a surprise that he's super f#cking pissed at them. Notice that the Russia collusion story collapsed on its face and now they are suggesting that Trump wants to censor them. Besides if they want to see what true censorship is then they should cover what's happening in Venezuela instead of blatantly lying about how socialism is "beautiful". Hugo Chavez was bad, but Nicolas Maduro is proving to be even worse. He's the south American Kim Jong Dong.
 
Now that the Russian collusion story died, the MSM will now play the victim and blatantly lie that Trump wants to censor them.

You're right Kowalski, I have said the same thing - and it got me some heat in this thread.

so it's not a surprise that he's super f$%king pissed at them.
True. However, he must rise above these childish antics. For god's sake, he's the President of the United States of America. Does he even reflect on how history will perceive him? - you'd think a narcissist like Trump would consider such things.

Notice that the Russia collusion story collapsed on its face .
Yes. It was an orchestrated attempt to have him impeached.

This is a funny video but the Media does use "buzz words" and phrases to set the narrative and influence public opinion.

Well, I doubt he would pursue it - but why the hell did he even suggest it?

None of this helps anything or anybody - it's just more fresh meat for the die hard Trump 'fans' to enjoy.
Trump treats the whole thing like a game.

btw, Trump plays the victim constantly too.

You mean our friend Nicolas Maduro- that guy in my opinion is a nut-job. Seriously, the guy lacks the charisma of Chavez and is outright crass and power hungry. Bloody socialist- I am not surprised.

The Russian story on the other hand is building steam- note that there is a special prosecutor investigating the story. Another thing I will disagree with you is that the media never suggested the censorship, it was Trump that suggested the censorship based on the information we have as of the moment.
 
Historians often say that when the special prosecutor is quiet and under the radar is when there is a lot to be worried about.
I think there is a storm brewing.
If Trump keep attacking allies(internally and externally), he can be rest assured the system will bring him down.
My two cents to Trump: stop attacking your allies.
In international relations your strength is determined by the strength of your alliances.

Evan Davis suggested that the White House intended to censor what considered to be fake news.

"Leaders and their favorite weapons"

On Maduro: Economy for dummies. Poor Venezuelan people....when you see so many coming to a place as poor as Bolivia, you wonder how ruined their country is. So, so sad.
 
What baffles me is the arrogance of these leaders to think they are the only the one(s) qualified to do the job. Isn't Morales a leftist?

No one is immune from the toxins of the poisoned chalice of power- hence the necessity to strengthen the institutions to protect the populace and those who drink from the cup.

Yes, another pseudo leftist who lives like the very best capitalist. A clear sign of a government failure, is when they think there's no one else to run the ship. You're basically conceding that your government wasn't able to educate people with civil compromise to go into politics.

On your second point, power has been the cancer of humanity... I think the challenge today is building new structures where power is reduced and distributed... true democracy: the government of everyone.
 
I don't always agree with Ryan Dawson ....but his comments here are interesting.

I'm not sure if this video is available in every country - Dawson gets blocked in some places because of his anti-Zionist comments.

Gosh guys, that's a bit extreme.

Kowalski, did you live in Poland during the Soviet era?
 
Gosh guys, that's a bit extreme.

Do you know how to ask for a Cuba libre in Miami? You make a beard on the face gesture followed by a throat cutting gesture. The barman will be happy to serve you a Cuba libre.

As for Pinochet, well, the left obviously hates him, but he has a pretty big following and most Chileans are thankful for him to avert the danger of Chile becoming another totalitarian communist hellhole like Cuba.

Kowalski, did you live in Poland during the Soviet era?

Luckily not, but I do have relatives who lived there during those days and they don't have any good memories.

You should watch or read The Circle.

It's quite extraordinary. These people who want Trump impeached so badly should note that impeachment doesn't mean Trump will step down as President.

Furthermore, these continued attacks from Trump's opponents could actually be strengthening his support.

I think his support has peaked and is ebbing.
Rural America tells the story of his support base.

I find it quite amusing that these wealthy liberals think they can bypass a democratic election result with money....while they accuse others for interfering with their election.
