btw, anyone who thought Trump would care abt the state-ordered killing of a Virginia journalist hasn’t been paying attention since 2015
I was kind of stunned in the days after the murder watching some DC pundits suggest Trump might ‘do the right thing’......it’s not physically possible. not sure why anyone clings to hope
sadly, all of this was telegraphed from Day One of the murder. Trump’s response was 100% predictable bc he’s an awful, awful person. it’s time for media to cut the chord re: any hopes of decency from him.
but now, the major media response will be “shock” over Trump’s Saudi statement....how on earth can any person plugged into the news be shocked by this? press really needs to leave its (safe) “shocked” commentary behind and forge ahead

I have some thoughts; dailykos.com/story/2019/1/8…
you can’t make this stuff up folks!!
btw, here’s what’s wrong with bowing to Trump and then giving Dems rebuttal time—networks are presenting both as equally valid when everyone at every news org in America knows Trump lies abt immigration *nonstop*

this is an embarrassing take. Trump’s on pace for 15k lies in 4 yrs and media should give him “benefit of the doubt”? just wow
this is parts of media clinging to idea Trump isn’t dangerously radical
worse, networks already know Trump’s going to address a **completely fictional border “crisis”**

oh the irony, in 2014 the networks denied Obama's request for airtime in primetime to address....immigration reform.
based on that, there's absolutely zero justification for nets to give Trump airtime to discuss his (fantasy) Wall.
and yes, nets are starting to announce they’ll give Trump airtime after they refused Obama (who’s not a pathological liar!!)

1) is it really right wing rhetoric and conspiracy theory to call the leftist mob in the streets Communists?

lets take a look
2) i wasnt a partisan in 2016 and had not watched television for 2 1/2 years by the time the election was going on. scanning headlines was the only news i received. if you know what to look for thats enough
3) when i first heard about the trump protests i was almost indifferent to #trump (that changed), but i didn't think it was random organic activism

99% of protesters are the lowest common denominator. and LCD's need to be shepherded. i wanted to identify the shepherds/sponsors

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
