Trump runs for POTUS / Trumped Up! Part V

[Crossbow]

The Pentagon Papers were published, and no one went to prison for that except Ellsberg.

ETA: He actually didn't go to prison; a mistrial was declared after the burglary at Ellsberg's shrink's office.

Thanks much. That is just the point.

While Ellsberg did get into serious trouble for stealing the Pentagon Papers, however the various people who published the Pentagon Papers did not have such problems.

The Trump-haters are incapable of thinking for themselves. They don't realize the media functions essentially as a propaganda arm of Hillary Clinton and her campaign.

Wow!

The 'blame the media!' game strikes again.

Wow!

The 'blame the media!' game strikes again.

It reminds me of the time that I cited Snopes to debunk a long-discredited myth about President Obama someone was repeating, and they dismissed Snopes as a left-wing propaganda site secretly funded by George Soros.

It's true.

It should be noted that there are studies indicating a liberal bias in the media. Those studies (could only find one, but I'll give sunmaster the benefit of the doubt) are from the mid 'noughts. I also found a study from 2014 indicating that there is no discernible bias in media.

Given the fact that there are studies pointing either way, I'd say it's very controversial to claim that there's a bias in news media in either direction. Evidence is thus needed.

Cain is one of our finest examples of 'Poe' on these forums. I hope he never stops posting here. You have to turn on your sarcasm meter whenever you see a reply from him.

It's true.

And yet they still run this:

Retort the Troops
Donald Trump did not call veterans suffering from PTSD "weak" during a town hall event.

I hadn't heard the Maples rumor previously, but it occurs to me that she would probably be within her rights to release the return, since it's a joint one.

We'll soon be able to add Foreign Affairs to the list, I'm sure.

She may not have broken the law, but she may have violated her divorce settlement. That could be a costly decision.

Trump is sparking fears of a rigged election.

He also has no presidential ground game. Trump forums are disinterested. You go to a Democrat site and they always talk about phone banking. The Trump forum just yell "landslide".

We don't know how much gotv efforts drive over or under performance compared to polls. If they matter, and Trump loses, we may see one of the largest poll vs results discrepancies. While the Occam's razor solution should point to ground game, we could instead have terrifying fuel for claims of rigged election.

That strikes me as an awfully convenient rumor for the New York Times, which arguably committed a crime by publishing illegally obtained personal tax information.

Have you forgot that the NY Times published the Pentagon Papers? It's not a crime.

 

[acbytesla]

You could have read Forbes or any of many other publications back in the 90s to know that. Just so you understand what an NOL carryforward is I should point out that we don't know if he lost the money in one year or several years. For that matter we also don't know if he lost more and had already used some of it.

That you could have found the info elsewhere is irrelevant.

More importantly, The New York Times has plenty of lawyers who are experts on what newspapers can and can't do, and someone from the legal department almost certainly clears any story that includes the release of potentially privileged documents.

Know better than to sexually harass women. Especially those they work with.

Is this really such a hard concept? Is it so very very difficult for men you know to interact with attractive women as humans rather than as breast support systems?

No men I know do this, they're good Christian men. I do see it from average hard working men, but mostly from liberal young men. They seem to have been taught sex anywhere, anytime and with anyone is quite normal. Wonder where they learned that from?

When you teach young men these things, yeah they're going to look at women as she objects. Maybe you can thank the predator in chief for that.

The two reporters were interviewed (I think on MSNBC) and discussed the vetting they went through. They said that the threat of legal action from Trump (or anyone else) was in the noise of things they worried about. Unfortunately, they didn't elaborate on what part of the vetting they did worry about.

Your "leader" is a 70 year old pig who wants badly wants to bang his own daughter and somehow it is the liberals' fault.

LOL

Well I guess with your keen eye for detail, then you must have missed the news that has been circulating for about the last 40 years where it was clearly shown that there have been quite a few Catholic priests and nuns who were terrible sexual abusers.
