Great cohesion inside the Republican Party, the best I have ever seen. Despite all of the Fake News, my Poll Numbers are great. New internal polls show them to be the strongest we’ve had so far! Think what they’d be if I got fair media coverage!

While this obviously means there's dissension in the ranks, I wonder who it is. Hasn't he already cast out the disloyal and unworthy?
 
As predicted, Trump has publicly criticized Fox News for their recent poll that showed his low approval rating.


"Well, Fox has always given me -- I'll tell you, Fox is a lot different than it used to be, I can tell you that. ... Fox has changed. And my worst polls have always been from Fox. There's something going on at Fox, I'll tell you right now. And I'm not happy with it."

He's "not happy" that what he thought was his personal state-run news isn't relentlessly kissing his butt like they did in the past.

Yup, they weren't necessarily forced to go, but if they used PTO it wouldn't go towards their overtime pay. They also didn't have to use PTO since it was an excused absence, but they could if they still wanted pay for that time.

I'm not saying it isn't a ****** thing to do, just pointing out the details.

Per the memo:

Your attendance is not mandatory. This will be considered an excused absence. However, those who are NOT in attendance will not receive overtime pay on Friday

Exactly, and per the memo one of the details is they were explicitly denied overtime pay for Friday, if they didn't attend, that they normally would have gotten. So not only were they paid to attend they were told they would be paid less than normal if they did not attend (least those that would get OT on Fridays) and instructed not to freely express themselves during that attendance. A triple ****** thing to do.

As in Army?

Why is that important? Are you suggesting the USA should just take Greenland?

I'm guessing it's referencing this

The Pope! How many divisions has he got?
Said sarcastically to Pierre Laval in 1935, in response to being asked whether he could do anything with Russian Catholics to help Laval win favour with the Pope, to counter the increasing threat of Nazism; as quoted in The Second World War (1948) by Winston Churchill vol. 1, ch. 8, p. 105.

Since it is the union itself trying to portray solidarity of its members in support of Trump, I have to wonder what is the union getting out of it? I'd expect Trump would try to bust the union in second if it helped his bottom line.

When I was a member of the Public Employees Federation at the end of the 2000s, I always heard Republicans say that unions are responsible for the destruction of American industry. They used to be necessary to protect workers a long time ago, but they aren't needed anymore and should be abolished. Sometimes the old "Communist plot" canard was even dragged out.

Admittedly, I am curious about Fox news, and their occasional bouts of honesty.

Is this some sort of last shred of integrity coming from holdouts in the network who have avoided drinking the koolaid?

Or is this a realization by Fox executives that Trump may actually be in trouble, and even their most active cheerleading won't be able to save his campaign. So its a cynical attempt by Fox to distance themselves from Trump (the rats deserting the sinking ship).
 
Since this administration pulled us out of the treaty, I figured this would work here.

CNN said:
The US military conducted a flight test of a conventional ground-launched cruise missile off the western coast of the US Sunday, a missile test that would have been previously banned under the now defunct Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the Pentagon said Monday.

...

The US withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Moscow earlier this month after years of accusing Russia of violating the treaty via its deployment of its nuclear-capable SSC-8 missile...

We have to make sure we have the biggest and the best. The yugest missiles ever!

The New York Times will be out of business soon after I leave office, hopefully in 6 years. They have Zero credibility and are losing a fortune, even now, especially after their massive unfunded liability. I’m fairly certain they’ll endorse me just to keep it all going!

Wait. The NYT is a Trump property?:rolleyes:

If anybody's wondering, this most recent whine about The New York Times was prompted by a wide-ranging conservative meltdown over NYT's new "Project 1619", which is a series intended to tell the story of the history of American slavery and how intertwined it was with the country's beginnings and founding. Needless to say conservatives, whose stance has always been that the history of slavery and racism in America in general should be suppressed (which they frame as "moving on"), are having paroxysms over the project, including on Fox News which is where the matter came to the president's attention.

Really, a whole lot of pointed white hoods have been coming off over the last couple of days due to this.

Massive overflow crowds in New Hampshire last week. Couldn’t get into packed SNHU Arena. Fake and Corrupt News would like you to believe otherwise. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Democrats want Open Borders and Crime! So dangerous for our Country. But we are building a big, beautiful, NEW Wall! I will protect America, the Dems don’t know where to start!

Our Economy is very strong, despite the horrendous lack of vision by Jay Powell and the Fed, but the Democrats are trying to “will” the Economy to be bad for purposes of the 2020 Election. Very Selfish! Our dollar is so strong that it is sadly hurting other parts of the world...

.....The Fed Rate, over a fairly short period of time, should be reduced by at least 100 basis points, with perhaps some quantitative easing as well. If that happened, our Economy would be even better, and the World Economy would be greatly and quickly enhanced-good for everyone!

Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought!
