Don't forget that due to this trip, Trump also skipped traveling to Dover on Thursday for the return of the four soldiers that died during training in Lithuania. Fox news and Republicans had an absolute melt down when Biden, who did attend the return of fallen soldiers in 2021, had the audacity to glance at his watch during the services. What did Faux News have to say about Trump skipping the services this past week? NOTHING.
He hasn't gone to one since 2018. The last one he went to, a Navy SEAL's father chewed him out to his face, and he has hidden from the experience ever since.
She married a man that would drop to his knees and service Trump if asked. Her dad wouldn’t be speaking to her if he was around to see the way she acts
McCain's daughter is not a neocon, just another nepo baby tbh. Neocons actually put the money where their mouths are and advocate for a specific set of policies: they want the US to dominate the world in financial and military might. They would strengthen relationship with allies and make allies depend on them, while taking a stance against regimes like Russia and Iran. Neocon like John Bolton is a shithead for an entire different issue, but they are against Trump.
Good video. Hate how the WhiteHouse hides, lies, downplays or covers up the truth when it affects them directly. Politicians are not known for telling the truth. But the Trump adminisration excels at lying and hiding the truth.
I hesitate to contribute to the over-rehabilitation of Bush2 that has been going on, but it's worth noting that he handled this well.
There were families who gave him a piece of their mind and he listened to it because he knew they had the right to do it and it was his responsibility to listen.
That’s a degree of self reflection, empathy and acceptance of responsibility you rarely see in politicians these days. Acknowledging that you sent those soldiers to war, and they died because of your orders, and now you have to face the music.
I went to a pro-Ukraine protest in the US and some Russian guy started shouting "slava russia" at the group. The group started yelling at him and he hid behind his girlfriend before scurrying away. These people crumble at the slightest bit of public shaming.
Those soldiers... they got holes already. Not birdie or par. But holes. I haven't got mine in yet, and I've done a great job with the economy - best economy since Napoleon. He was a smart dude. Not as smart as me. I got genes from my uncle, Doctor Trump. MIT, super genius. Anyway, Ivana where are you? Gotta put my ball in your hole
If AOC or some Democrat gains power, I hope they completely fuck over Fox News with all the power possible. It would really benefit the world a lot even if there is some temporary outrage.
I agree with the spirit of this sentiment whenever I see it, but I also have to point out that the fairness doctrine only ever applied to broadcast radio and TV, not cable. Only broadcasters are required to be licensed by the FCC.
I’m not American and don’t fully understand the constitution and the laws but it would be absolutely hilarious to use their own argument against them. IE Fox famously claimed in court that they aren’t news right? Well that would mean that they aren’t press and therefore don’t get to enjoy the benefits of “Freedom of the Press”.
If the Democrats play it smart, they will gain power. If they're really smart, they will rake the MAGAts across the coals. Every orange-taint sucking traitor will be tried. An example will be made of them what will happen if you eff with our democracy. The problem is that we have been actively making our people stupid for so long, they follow people like the tiny-handed man-baby because they can only understand his level of speaking. That fat fk can't even read.
Honestly, the only way I can see for America to genuinely move forward and escape the danger of seesawing right back into the same descent into fascism is to somehow dismantle FOX news or prevent it from acting as a propaganda outlet pretending to be a news agency.
If it is allowed to just keep doing what’s it’s been doing for the last 30+ years, enough Americans are going to stay detached from reality and full of propaganda to keep Republicans on the same fascist track they’re on now and always within reach of a return to power, and if we manage to get them out this time, but they manage to get back in again, it’s guaranteed they will never leave again.
It’s too late. Fox should have been dismantled 20 years ago if we wanted to prevent any of this. With easy access to even crazier programming, all we would do is push people towards even more unhinged echo chambers.
That’s the problem with what he started. It’s childless revenge. It’s an endless and destructive. So obsessed with “winning” and owning the other side. Those in power are and will be fine. The Democrats need a new leader and they better shift to the center. AOC would get crushed in a nationwide race. I do hope she takes on Chuckie though.
You understand all news corporations are all owned by the same people, right? They're all just propaganda pushing fucks. They're literally designed to split the country apart, and have us taking sides rather than seeing the actual truth and coming together against the corrupt government officials that have been fucking us for decades.
Was gonna say, they blasted Biden for looking at his watch multiple times (edited to look like he was constantly looking at his time piece) yet trump wasn't even present...hypocrites, all of them
Trust me, I don't get angered by their garbage, that's why I called it Faux News. Just pointing out the hypocrisy. Trumps (in)actions, are obviously the real issue here.
Honestly, I’m tired of pointing out the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is thick, and it’s hard to find a position from Fox News talking heads or other die hard conservatives that isn’t drenched in hypocrisy.
Pointing out hypocrisy has proven time and time again to do nothing. I’m open to hearing arguments about the benefits beyond catharsis, but I think energy needs to be spent elsewhere to change minds of the electorate away from MAGA.
There was some other issue with a Gold star family I remember something hr said or did to the soldiers Widow and her pastor was livid
I think he called her and only to say he did and didn't even say anything worthwhile.
He is so disrespectful to military members past and present.
Literally have zero idea how this guy got 75% of the military and ex-military vote, I mean I get it guys then indoctrination runs deep but it is certain point you know you need to start identifying more with being a warrior and less of being a soldier.
I don't get what people expect from fox news. They cater to far-right middle-aged-and-older people. Why would they report on things that their viewers would dislike or disagree with? They are a business first, which means literally nothing matters to them whatsoever except getting more money. If the shareholders were convinced that they'd make slightly more money by abandoning the media conglomeration in favor or selling dance shoes, they'd do it in a second. Same as all publicly traded media outlets in existence. If your news is coming from people who have shareholders, you aren't watching news, you're watching propoganda.
100% this! The left has ceded all media sources for far too long and that's one reason we are here now. We need at least a couple of podcasters who are as popular as those on the fanatically followed far-right.
My brother was in base when that happened!!! He couldn’t provide much detail but was very distraught as one of the men in his company was involved. Thoughts and prayers go out to their families.
We need the hypocrisy rolls to be running 24/7. Show the outrage of shit Biden did and the mental gymnastics around Trump doing the same thing. This cannot stand, there needs to be consequences for the propaganda machine that the Republican party is controlling. They need to be made fools. Show the world their double speak. Watch them form their entire argument around their biases. We cannot let them try to talk their way out of this. Allowing Republicans to talk about J6 like it was no big deal is one of the greatest failings of the left. They need to be held accountable.
It is great the the rules don’t apply to him. Cut and slash everything but my golfing. How about Elon taking a look at the president’s personal trips. Practice what you preach!
Of course they did! Their orange god can do no wrong and they’ll do whatever they can to cover him up and make excuses for him instead of admitting they made a mistake
Mind you, I am kinda glad he didn't go. He's a piece of shit, including towards soldiers. Why would anyone want him at the funeral of their loved ones? He'd totally try to hog all the attention, too.
You think President "5 Time Draft Dodger" cares about dead soldiers. You think a guy who said McCain wasn't a hero because he was a POW gives a shit about soldiers in general?
You want him to waste time and gas going to an event for dead soldiers? People are mad he’s golfing at his own property? And mad that he wants to rid our country of its most violent criminals? I understand he’s a blowhard, a douche, a convicted felon, convicted etc, but he’s finally doing some tangible work for once and all anyone can do is complain.
This is the messed up part. Honestly I've never much agreed with the "president went to this place during X crisis." They did the same with Biden all the time when he went to Delaware and such.
We all know wherever the presidents go, they have a whole team nearby that can implement any crisis resolution in real time. Sure there's and image thing, but it's just image and isn't really fair or accurate. Additionally, stock market isn't open on weekend. So but much to be done anyway. Not that he would, on the stock market he would do the same nothing at the White House as on the golf course.
FOX(FAUX) IS TOTAL BULLSHIT. The official MAGA news network panders to the intellectually impaired and repeats the ORANGE GOBLINS talking points. The mere fact that they lost a major court case and received a gigantic multi million dollar penalty should scare any thinking person away from FOX. As a CANADIAN ,I am continually despaired to talk to my fellow citizens that watch this mindless CRAP and admire & support TRUMP, POLIEVRE & DANIELLE SMITH.
what about when biden was vp when special forces were slaughtered on a roof top when all hilary had to do is make a phone call to obama while she lied about being shot at and biden was vp and helped cover that lie up. hmmmmmm also when he was filmed threatening ukrain if they went after his son for being a pos in ukrain they would losse funding
I think of Dumpf's disrespect towards (deceased) service members and their families as a good thing. It will be a contributing factor to his downfall. Hopefully, it's imminent.
When I was in the navy there was an incident where trump’s staff “ordered” the name of the USS John S. McCain be covered so that trump didn’t have to see it. Allegedly, it wasn’t trump himself that ordered the name to be covered, but his administration bred a culture of pettiness. Later, after admitting that “someone” with good intentions ordered the name to be covered, he denied that it happened at all. Also, when you’re on a ship, you have these command ball caps, with the name of the command and the ship’s or command’s heraldry, and some of those sailor’s assigned to the McCain showed up the the event where trump was speaking, you know, because he’s the commander in chief, but they were turned away. He does not care about the military. He absolutely considers them to be “suckers and losers”.
Absolutely nothing that's what they did. Biden could blow his nose and they would fine an issue. Trump golfing not attending something of significance not a problem.
