Open War On The President

[r9etb]

So go ahead and blame this full out frontal attack on Trump himself if it helps you sleep at night.  The press' war on the American way of life has been happening long before Trump even hinted at running for president.  If you missed it that's a you problem.

You're pretending that Trump's own behavior plays no part in this.  But it does. 

The more he spouts off, the harder it is for honest people to defend him.

 Smh.

What words would you use to describe the spreading of BS to take out a sitting POTUS?

Its a lot of things, but its absolutely not hyperbole to say the press and Dems are coordinating an effort to stage a coup de etat via impeachment. This is, quite literally, how an entrenched bureaucracy wages war. Their goal is to overthrow the election, or failing that, to kneecap the elected President so he cannot undo their currently emplaced Left wing legislation and globalist agenda. This is not a conspiracy theory any more, its right out there in the open. Does the White House make dumb statements now and then which help that cause....absolutely.

In fact, every GOP White House from Reagan forward has made occasional errors that help the Dems. Its not avoidable, no White House can be perfect and no president says the right thing all the time. If you're a Dem, these mistakes are glossed over and dropped quickly by the media....remember "flyover country....god and guns" or "tell Vlad I'll have more flexibility after the election". Dem errors are mentioned in the media, quickly deflated by biased analysis, and then sold as "old news" with the hint of either racism or a reactionary agenda at work trying to deflect from the "real issues" facing America.

Its a disgusting, biased, dishonest and intentional propaganda process...and you have to accept that any GOP president is going to lambasted as being...simultaneously....a clownish buffoon AND an evil genius. They did it to Reagan, Bush and Bush II...its a calculated method to discredit, and many here are all too willing to just swallow it wholesale without critcally examining it. But Trump fights back, he refuses to become PC in order to avoid feeding the media hysteria...sometimes it hurts him as they twist his imprecise language into something nefarious. But our secret weapon is that the American people have more common sense than the media knows, and come election time they will see through the propaganda charade once again.

Let's try this again, slower this time.

Pick any point you choose in recent history and tell me the press was only a little biased, slightly left of center, or just kinda sorta dishonest.  You pick the point, go ahead, and I'll prove you wrong.

The truth of the matter is the liberal press has been waging war on the American way of life for a long, long time.  In case I'm going too fast for you, this means pre-Trump.  Go back to Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Obama and I can hand you a mountain of evidence proving my point.  If you are of the opinion that the press has only recently turned ultra radical then you have a very poor memory or simply have refused to pay attention.  This is a you problem.

Prior to the launch of CNN in 1980 we relied upon the three major networks and newspapers for our news.  By the time the internet became well established we had the ability to read foreign newspapers online.  Both of these developments provided the American public with new perspectives, another angle from which to view the "news".  A story reported overseas about Dog Bites Man became something completely different by the time the US media twisted it around into Man Bites Dog. 

We simply had more sources to compare similar stories.  Red flags were popping up faster than you could count them if you decided to take a few minutes out of your day to compare apples and apples.  And it's not just what the US media chose to report, it is also what they chose not to report.  Do you think the US media was oblivious to the twice-weekly reports by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of the London Telegraph detailing the Clinton corruption in Arkansas?  It's pretty obvious that if I could read these stories online so could hundreds of journalists across America.  They simply made the decision to bury the facts that could bring down a presidency. And there were plenty of facts to bury.

Make no mistake I'm talking about all the US media.  It wasn't just CNN or the NY Times that chose to bury the facts, add the Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine to the list whose editors chose to kill these stories, causing more than just a few journalists to quit in protest.

The examples are endless, I just listed one of the most glaring, and they are all pre-Trump.

Don't try to make the case that the media suddenly turned rabid because of Trump or that he brings these attacks upon himself.  You're missing the bigger picture.  What we see play out today is nothing but a continuation of a decades old dishonest and fraudulent media conspiring against truth and justice.

Business as usual.

DC politics at its finest.

Same thing they do to every Republican President.

Certainly not the hysterical hand wringing I see going on now.

Y'all get back to me when we have someone forging documents or claiming that the VP elect hopped aboard an hour SR-71 to zoom over to Europe to make a secret deal with the Iranians.

Or better yet get back to me when the sitting President is accused of war crimes and having a mistress down in Central America when he was CIA Director.

You folks crying coup and war need to peel off the layers of tinfoil you're wearing and realize that your own cultish infatuation with Trump is blocking your ability to think rationally and study history.

Take a damn Pamprin and calm down.

Do you actually believe the Dems are not striving for Impeachment?

That is the coup/war (bureaucratic war, to be sure) being referred to...this is not to say they will succeed...but to deny they are waging a campaign to do so is...well...blind. And if they are so doing, that is a coup/war effort...because, by all the known evidence (or lack thereof), it is entirely unjustified in every historically relevant legal/political context. Trying to remove a president in an unjustified manner is the very definition of a coup.

With all due respect.... that's bullshit.  It doesn't take being "infatuated with Trump" to see what is going on in this country right now re: the leftist takeover/takedown attempts via the lamestream media, the enemy within Democratic Party and Soros & Co. paid anarchists.  Anyone denying that reality is too stupid to still be alive, in my humble opinion.

We have a man who must disparage others to elevate himself and now the cries across the land that people are being mean to him???????????
Compared to his own trashing of his primary opponents there had been nothing to compare said against him yet.
He's earned every complaint, every attack, and every insult.
Live with it.

Hillary...is that you?

Could be.   It would behoove Hillary, after all, for more folks to feel like that.... or to express anti-Trump feelings like that.

Yep.

I have a liberal stepson whom I haven't spoken to for over a year now.  He actually thinks Barack Hussein Obama was a great president.  That's how duh-uh he is when it comes to common sense issues.  He's an oil-field related engineer working for a German company, so he is quite bright "otherwise".   I have no doubt that he probably voted for Hillary last November.  God help us with morons like that running around voting and trying to determine the fate of this nation.  Seriously.

It is truly baffling how otherwise intelligent and rational people can vote for the Left. I have a soon to be son-in-law who sounds much like your stepson...he's an electrical engineer, hard working kid and nice as can be. Just a plain idiot when it comes to politics and government. I fear for my future grandchildren!

When are the Dems NOT trying to impeach a Republican President?

You'd probably have to go back to Ike.

Your claiming this is a couple of some sort is completely wrong. You're just upset that Trumpkins isn't getting f the Fox News/Rush/Hannity treatment from everyone.

You want Pravda and youre not getting it.

Big deal...doesnt make this a coup.

Well, they held the House AND Senate under Bush 2 and did nothing. Ditto for his dad AND for Reagan. So I guess the answer is that they haven't tried to impeach past GOP presidents...at least, no serious effort was made. That doesn't mean they weren't striving to generate faux scandals and undermine them, but you arguing that serious impeachment efforts occurred is just plain wrong.

As for Pravda, we already HAVE it so there's no need for wishing either way...the media collectively has become a branch of the American version of the Politburo (the DNC). Again, striving to impeach a president...actively working to do so from day ONE....is an attempted coup via impeachment. You may be too blind to see the obvious, most of us are not.

Same here.  And you don't dare bring up, mention or even respond to any political issues if/when they are visiting.  You have to walk on eggshells to avoid getting into a battle.  Which I almost did Thanksgiving before last over global warming BS.  He buys into it, I never have.  It's stunning how dense some of the liberals are. 

Edit: Wait.  Did I just say 'some'?  I meant ... ALL!  lolol

I think what makes it so hard is their liberalism isn't based in reason, its more like an emotional attachment that becomes a part of their self image. If you question particulars...like GW, Immigration policy, etcetera...they respond as if you are insulting them personally. Its very hard to find liberals who are open to simple debate and discussion...and disagreement....who can set it aside afterward and share a beer without the rancor carrying over. Its a shame, really, and as you said...it means I'll be walking on egg shells the next 30 years with my grand children.

[INVAR]

It all boils down to the fact that people on all sides of this sorry state this former Republic finds itself - want punishment, want payback, want to impose their version of tyranny, want blood and want war.

And they shall have what they want.

Even as they threaten everyone that refuses to get on their side of the battlefield.

Eisenhower wad despised by the media.  He was called a DO NOTHING president because he constantly used the
POCKET VETO
Then he had a heart attack and hid it from the public.  Oh, so you think the media is just now after this wonderful delightful charming president.
Hah.

I have an otherwise very intelligent younger sister, that supported Obama and Hillary, based largely on feelings.

When discuss a specific policy, she often holds the conservative position.

But in the end she still covers for the liberal since she just feels that way.

Rumors were spread that he graduated last or near last in his class at West Point. So much was made of his golfing that he walked out on a press briefing when he was quickly asked about that.

That Eisenhower was a dummy and Adlai Stevenson of great intellect was a common theme though all lie.

That said, I've not seen as constant or immediate a barrage against any president as against Trump.
