Trump - misc
Thought this was slightly funny (see video). Trump was actually rather impressive in his restraint.
More importantly it's hilarious that some people somehow see the media or the "msm" as some kind of monolithic entity or establishment or whatever instead of a bunch of uncoordinated, uncooperative, in-anything but competing - businesses as is evident in this video:

Oh FFS. Is this another Trump thread. What is with you people.
Why not start a thread on Trump's Bathroom Décor, Trump's Shirt Buttons, Trump's Leftover Breakfast etc.
Yes the guy can be an outright buffoon but he's president of the U S A and that's it. Get over it, quit making nonsensical nothings about it.
It's bad enough PTR bleating away on other threads so do we really need another one to listen to his rendering.

Trumps right about the press . Most what they report isn't even news but, opinion pieces and unnamed sources . Hence the fake news media
It's become so biased . Compare fox to a CNN .

compare fox to cnn? LOL! Are you trying to say Fox isnt' biased?
Fox News Channel, also known as Fox News, is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel that is owned by the Fox Entertainment Group subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. Fox News Channel has been accused of biased reporting and promoting the Republican Party and has been deemed the least accurate cable news source according to Politifact. (7/19/2016)
^Fox is the number one news channel in the US today. As to the "bias", there is no such a thing as a neutral news channel. Fox is center, CNN is far left / tabloid / borderline communist, and is barely a top ten channel now.

According to Nielsen’s second quarter ratings, MSNBC’s total viewers are up 73 percent year-over-year, with prime-time viewership up 86 percent, easily making it the fastest growing cable news outlet.
Anchor Rachel Maddow has become a cultural icon on the left while also attracting a younger audience of viewers. MSNBC’s share of the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic grew 78 percent in prime time over last year. Their prime-time audience has nearly tripled since second quarter of 2014.

I'm no expert but from my experience, in print media as in Newspapers, Broadsheet is usually centre left. Tabloid is usually centre right. I come form a time when the Edmonton Journal was a afternoon/evening paper. Heck, myself and I know of a few others here at c2e that used to deliver the Journal afternoon paper. The Edmonton Sun was the first city newspaper here in Edmonton that went mornings in 1978. The Journal resisted and continued as a afternoon paper for a few years after that until I think 1983 and became a morning paper like the Sun.

Oh dear lawd, you really do need intervention. How rabid over Trump are you. Your total obsession is OTT. I'm sure if the whole forum became about Trump you would be lording over it. Is Trump really worth so much of your time?. Most of what has been said on this thread has been covered on OTHER Trump threads but I guess let's cover it again because it's so riveting NOT. Trumps satire of a boxing match was just faked by him to high light CNN fake news but the rabid lefties jump right in as if it's gospel. I should imagine people who dislike Trump will be bursting blood vessels if this goes on much longer. If Trump gets another term I can see the mental health system overloaded with Trump Derangement Syndrome patients (much like yourself).

TRADITIONAL WHITE SUPREMACIST ORGANIZATIONS ATTEMPT TO “REBRAND”
To appeal to new audiences susceptible to its radical messaging, the national white supremacist movement has tried to deemphasize hate symbols and attacks against non-white communities. These organizations have “rebranded” since at least last year, when they took a more high-profile role with conferences and rallies, official statements, and recruitment efforts.
On November 4, 2016, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the major white supremacist umbrella group, declared its intent to stop using the swastika. NSM stated it has “every intention to bring our Party . . . into the halls of Government here in the United States, and to do that we must reach more of the public. The masses believe exactly as we do, but have steered clear of us due to our use of the swastika. Your Party Platform remains the same, your Party remains unchanged, it is a cosmetic overhaul only.”
To date, the website of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan denies it is a hate group and focuses messaging on the “love of the white race” and “restoring America to a White Christian nation.” The organization also claims it does not want to harm the “darker races” but “simply want[s] to live separate from them.”
Must be a huge conspiracy that Alex Jones did not cover it.

How long have these numbers been representative of viewership? Years? If so then it would seem that the whole msm drama is just more BS.

This is an interesting opinion piece, though as always it's not very intellectually rigourous or evidence based - hence me calling it an opinion piece. Moreover, counting numbers, proportions of journalists exhibiting bias and taking one side or the other is fine but pointless if these journalists have no actual meaningful influence - might as well include foreign journalists and their biases too.
Just like all those people "living in the past" and still taking poll results seriously, looking at journalist bias in a world where hardly anyone gets their viewpoints from those journalists is a wasted effort. The world has moved on and journalism is a dead profession just like the newspapers they worked for are now irrelevant.

The cease fire will probably last as long those jobs Trump saved. Of course the media may be distracted by something else later, so they may not notice if it does not last.
I expect what Putin really wants to get is the sanctions against Russia lifted, I think he wants that more that a tie, but Trump is going to have trouble convincing Congress to go along with that.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America.
Meanwhile, this is who Mr. Oilers and his ilk are cowering in fear of. Look, it's the Prime Minister planning an attack on Canada with a terrorist!
In a press release, CAIR elaborated on the content of the email from a Trump supporter (grammatical errors maintained):
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/get-...ounds-of-ammo/Hey there Muslim PIG SWINE. We MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of PATRIOTS, armed to the teeth with HUNDREDS of millions of weapons, with literally over 50 BILLION rounds of horrific, violent camel jockey piercing rounds of ammo. We have a LEADER in the White House, now standing for JUDEO-Christian values. . .You have mistaken European White Males patience for weakness. Get ready to have a war. . .
^So somehow Trump is responsible for everything one of his millions of supporters say. In fact I somehow think even Trump would not agree with that rhetoric.
"The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read." –Mark Twain
Same way that people say that all Muslims, billions of them, are responsible for what a tiny fraction of a percentage do.
After all, white people can't be terrorists.
Unfortunately it's the way of the world. A small percentage of people terrorize and yet everyone gets painted with the same brush. Whites are not the exception either. Throughout time they have had their own forms of terrorism but one thing about western civilization is that we are moving forward and progressing from barbaric ways. Just sometimes they fall back now and then.
"The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read." –Mark Twain
Are we really? People are still being bombed. Either by terrorists or an army, the dead are dead. Or are we just getting more efficient at it? Using drones so out people don't come to harm, for example. Or are we just changing the labels to make them more palatable?
There's a man in the White House who literally campaigned on "Bomb the **** out of them" and bombing the families of suspected combatants.
From Sept. 16, 2014
The US is now involved in 134 wars or none, depending on your definition of 'war'
"We're engaged in a major counterterrorism operation," he told CBS News on Sept. 11. "I think war is the wrong terminology and analogy but the fact is that we are engaged in a very significant global effort to curb terrorist activity... I don't think people need to get into war fever on this. I think they have to view it as a heightened level of counter terrorist activity."
Kerry said similarly hedgy things during interviews on CNN and ABC.
By the next day, the Obama administration appeared more comfortable with the word war, yet hardly offered any more clarity. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters, "The United States is at war with ISIL in the same way we are at war with Al Qaeda and its affiliates."
The problem is that our traditional definition of "war" is outdated, and so is our imagination of what war means.
World War II was the last time Congress officially declared war. Since then, the conflicts we've called "wars" — from Vietnam through to the second Iraq War — have actually been congressional "authorizations of military force." And more recently, beginning with the War Powers Act of 1973, presidential war powers have expanded so much that, according to the Congressional Research Service, it's no longer clear whether a president requires congressional authorization at all.
https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-09-...definition-war
Yes. Both Trump and his supporters are responsible for the sum total of all the rhetoric they put out. Every bit of it; every last part.
Those who choose to join a mob, a group, whatever, accept the consequences of everything in the group, and add their own responsibility to the group's.
That's the way of the world. That's why all Muslims, billions of them, are responsible for what a tiny fraction of a percentage do; and that's why white people ARE terrorists and our cities pay for our governments' wars with attacks.
If Trump did not want such responsibility, even public repudiation would not be enough, so long as he had accepted the vote he had had. If he wanted no such responsibility he should not have run.
If you want no such responsibility, join no groups.
Except that you must, if you would survive on more than hunting and gathering like the outcast you would make yourself into.

“You have to dream big. If we want to be a little city, we dream small. If we want to be a big city, we dream big, and this is a big idea.” - Mayor Stephen Mandel, 02/22/2012
Let's please keep it that way.
Some here in Canada already have fought legally for Sharia (Koranic) Law, and others likely will again (as they do in other nations).
Why not?
Yassir Arafat and Barack Obama have both won it for some unknown reason.
Well, if Putin was the puppet master behind Trump's win, then maybe it should then just be Putin on the podium alone.
In the same way that Jews follow Judaic laws. It covers things like marriages, dietary concerns, things of that nature. For example, if you want to ban "Koranic law", you would make it illegal for Muslims to bow towards Mecca to pray. You would force stores to stop selling halal food products.Let's please keep it that way.

As they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Koranic Law isn't Canadian law. Do you advocate for laws to make everybody in Canada have to pray to Mecca and have to eat Halal food only? Because that's what I am opposing.
I like living in a country that follows and enforces secular Western Democratic law, not Islamic Koranic law. And I want my children to enjoy these freedoms as well. I will always protect those freedoms that so many of us take for granted in this part of the world, and will always oppose political viewpoints that try to wedge religious doctrines (like Koranic law) into Canadian law.
Funny but I don't see any jurisdiction, civic, provincial or federal, that is advocating such a thing. Just as there are people who advocate for "Christian" values to be enshrined into law, that doesn't mean that it's happening. It just means that somebody is spouting off.
Frankly, I'm much more concerned about Christians getting laws passed to enshrine their religion than I am about Muslims doing the same simply because it's infinitely more likely to happen.
These guys seem to be more to your liking.
Even with those policies that you would undoubtedly find quite reasonable, the best they've ever done in a federal election was 0.78% in 1988. In the 2015 election they managed a whopping 0.09%.Christian Heritage Party of Canada
Some of the key goals and principles of the CHP are:
Opposing abortion[5]
Opposing Right to Die legislation[6]
Abolishing secular education[7]
Opposing same-sex marriage[8]
Provide Family Care Allowance when one parent is providing full-time care in the home for children or dependent family members[9]
Use the Bank of Canada to overhaul the economy and the infrastructure of Canada by providing interest-free loans to municipalities, provinces and crown corporations[10]
Eliminate income tax, and replace it with a "fair tax"[11]
Pay off the national debt "like a mortgage and institute balanced budget protocols"[12]
Support responsible firearms ownership[13]
Restrict immigration to preserve Judeo-Christian values, including a "moratorium on immigration from any Sharia based countries"[14]

Considering how many order of magnitudes Christians outnumber Muslims in Canada, a similar Muslim Party wouldn't even register.
But go ahead and break into a cold sweat whenever you see a teenage girl in a headscarf.
Can you go a single post without stooping to insulting me?
I have an intelligent response and a couple of serious questions to ask you, but if you cannot respond without taking cheap shots, why should I bother?
EDIT - by the way, I am NOT Christian (not sure why you make that assumption)

Do these people ever give up on their incessant bleating of Trump.
Chelsea Clinton putting herself out there again. I don't have a crystal ball but this family seems like it will do and say anything to stay relevant.
Another Clinton for 2024, I hope not.

We don't care Chelsea. Throw cold water on Trump's claim. We would like to turn the water hoses on your family.

Seems Trump wants the clintons to stay relevant too. He keeps bringing them up, and up until he ran for president, was actually a clinton supporter.
But hey, when you a flip flop for president, how can you stay on top of what he currently supporters, you know he'll just flip flop the next week anyways.
