Trump, July 2017: Tweet more

Trumpers clinging really heavily to this CNN blackmail story, which is just so incredibly desperate

CNN are fair game, they're such assholes they've managed to look worse than a fucking meme making MAGA chud.

How have CNN managed to look worse?

CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

this is the quote in question.

in a post violentacrez world, redditors shouldn't take their anonymity for granted. but you know, that paragraph is hilariously thuggish.

Nice anonymity you got there, be a shame if anything... happened to it.

I mean, fuck the chud in question obviously. But CNN clearly being thugs here.

ha xp, thuggish is the exact word

I'm emphatically not a 'they go low we go high' kind of guy, so if a chekist like me thinks you've gone too far...

Ack, didn't see that quote.

god smite this awful cunt

As others have noted, it's quite remarkable how much he still blames shit on Hillary or Obama. What a venal, defensive piece of shit.

just to get this straight, is he saying that the election *that he won* was rigged by foreign powers?

Who can say, right?

Well, he would've won 250% of the vote if not for those meddling foreign powers.

This right here seems like the real news of the day

Given Sater's role on the money front all this time, well before the presidential campaign, watching what happens next on this front will be key.

I actually really liked this. And is there any chance his age could be a sorta positive thing, if he chose the right running mate? Like Nina Turner, not known enough to win the nomination on her own, but as a running mate, wouldn't she do a lot of good in shoring up the base?

It has raised questions about what steps Mr Trump has taken to check whether tainted funds are coursing through his properties.

I could hazard a guess: none.

With Sanders’s strong support of Heath Mello’s ultimately failed bid to become mayor of Omaha, his growing prominence has even become a reed of hope for America’s long-suffering anti-abortion Democrats, who argue with some plausibility that ideological flexibility on this topic is integral to securing congressional majorities.

Hahahahah get fucked.

it sounds like anyone could've found this guy's real name in 5 minutes given the details in his Reddit account. I'm not exactly stanning for CNN here but if threatening to expose a dude for being a Nazi in public sounds as "thuggish behavior" then I don't even know anymore.

Ya maybe ur right, I'm not hard to convince in cases like this. At any rate, perhaps (fat chance) it will be teachable moment for a Trumper to find himself grovelling to a powerful corporation out of fear lol

I like how they demanded a formal apology as a condition of not doxing him even though it's obvious he doesn't mean it. Like a show trial.

In any case the media's codependent relationship with Trump was more responsible for his victory than any of these anime nazis. CNN made a billion dollars in profit last year, a 19% increase from 2015.

How on earth is it obvious he doesn't mean it, Treeship? Are you a mindreader?

Fred are you literally suggesting Bernie run a morbid Lessig campaign because he'll be likely to become unfit for office or die after inauguration? WTF?

Also this is a dude who could not win in the primaries against "the most unpopular candidate ever" so I do not at all understand suggesting him as viable for 2020 on any grounds really other than strictly emotional ones

I'm not sure if they demanded an apology; didn't the guy himself say that CNN wasn't strongarming him? more likely the dude just became desperate when he realized that a lifetime of posting Nazi shit on the internet might actually have a real-world consequence. strange, I know...

I don't for a second believe Trump is smart enough to be doing this on purpose, but he really is doing a pretty good job of compelling the MSM to fight with him on his terms. I mean, I understand he's in Eastern Europe and about to meet with Putin, but the fact that the big story right now is his answer to a question about Russian interference in the election...I mean, at this point what percentage of Americans really give a fuck about this issue? I think the vast majority of people consider this whole thing a sideshow and are tuning it out accordingly, which only benefits a president who is desperate to undermine the media. And they just can't help taking the bait time and time again.

x-posts: Lol. No, but every vice presidential candidate ever has been chosen to 'shore up' some constituency, and might that not work better for an older candidate? Also, the runner up is quite often the frontrunner next time, and Clinton was stunningly popular for a long time, until it all collapsed.

Age aside, I feel like Bernie would do much better in a second election. Many people were just discovering his existence as he was running, as opposed to the two well-known public figures who became the eventual nominees.

Not advocating Bernie running again, fyi.

He might win

Depends, how is his reality show faring?

speaking of Depends...

I'm willing to believe CNN when they say that the dude apologized first, and they made a decision to respect his privacy, though they weren't under any obligation to do so. And they wanted to state that there was no deal to keep his info private in exchange for the apology, and they inadvertently phrased this really badly. Mostly because I can't really envision CNN being that effectively ruthless, but they are pretty dumb most of the time.

Re: Russia, a huge percentage of Americans care deeply (or claim to care) about corruption among government officials. The key to making the Russia thing stick is to frame it as an issue of corruption, rather than appealing to patriotism or constantly shouting "traitor" as a lot of twitter weirdos seem to be doing

"Corrupt government officials" seems like a pretty squishy category. That's obviously not just Russia. It's also "the establishment," "the insiders" and the swamp Trump is supposedly busy draining.

"they're ALL corrupt" etc

Hillary was the most corrupt presidential candidate in history, let's not forget

we'd be on the brink of war if she'd been elected

i heard a few people say in earnest that Hillary was "the most corrupt politician of all-time."

But the joke was on all of them, because now they know more than they ever wanted to know about the Teapot Dome scandal

i hope mr. trump's six-month review with his supervisor, mr. putin, goes well!

Nothing means anything anymore, just say whatever you feel, it's cool.

I don't even know why we use stupid words anymore, it's almost like we forgot that god gave us middle fingers.

I never even knew I wanted coal until there were piles of it up and down my street
