Embarrassed Trump threatens to sic IRS on Amazon, Washington Post

[ABX]

Flashback- shades of Obama...

....Trump has previously attacked Boeing and Toyota. Both corporations experienced massive drops in market value immediately following his attacks before eventually rebounding.
White House adviser Kellyanne Conway has gloated about Trump’s ability to abuse of his power this way, revealing her boss is well aware of the impact of his mini-statements......

But who cares if our guy does it.

[LMAO]

But who cares if our guy does it.

 Political tribalism. 

Although I’ll withhold judgment on Trumper’s until I hear them actually support this with their own words assuming this is true

I have a brother and sister-in-law who were big Obama supporters And they used to applaud Obama using the power of the Executive Branch against political opponents. I warned them they may be applauding today, but Obama is it gonna be there forever.

I guess it boils down to be careful what you wish for you just might get it

ShareBlue, huh?

ShareBlue, huh?

I just spent a couple minutes perusing their masthead.     This is as bad as the PoliticusUSA link he posted yesterday. 

Surely there are better stories out of the 10.5 Million Google search results for "Trump+lied" than this thin gruel.

[Applewood]

Trump embarrassed?  I don't think so. 

Sounds like BS.

Shareblue Media @AbaraXas ?

Shareblue Media, formerly known as Blue Nation Review or Shareblue, is an American progressive[3] news website owned by the journalist and political activist David Brock.

Flashback- shades of Commie Pinko trolls all over this effing cite. All "Conservatives" of course because they say so but seem insistent on posting, citing and circulating openly Progressive and Rat news sources in their Quixotic mission to turn Trump voters off. Only the hard core at DU even know about this propaganda wing of the Rat party.

@Frank Cannon

And Trump supporters post from Breitbart, Gateway Pundit and other pro-Trump propaganda sites. 

Bottom line is that there is no such thing as a 100% unbiased, factual news outlet.  Some may be more obviously biased than others, but it seems they all have an agenda.   We don't have a lot of options out there. 

So believe or don't believe the story. I'm inclined to think this story is trash, although knowing what I know about Trump, it's not entirely implausible.  Probably best to wait till other outlets report the same or similar -- if they do.

But I'm not going to diss anyone from posting what's out there -- factual or not.  I may not like what they posted and I might say so, but unless the mods decide otherwise, it's still their right to put a story out there and our right to believe or not. 

[INVAR]

It is entirely plausible that the entire reason the GOP let Lois Lerner walk is because it preserves and sets the precedent to institutionalize use of the Alphabets as a political weapon.

If Trump actually threatened to use the IRS as a weapon - that would be in keeping with the new precedent.

And earn Trump justifiable contempt and disgust deserving removal from office, same as his predecessor deserved it.

@Frank Cannon

Yeah they do, because years ago this used to be a right wing site where right wing pieces were posted for the right wing members to read. Those two outlets you cite may be kook fringe, but they are kook fringe on our side. They are not pushing for gun control, Obamacare and high taxes. The shit people are posting and masturbating over now are as anti American as it gets.

This piece came from the desk of a coke snorting Communist named David Brock. He is for the open destruction of the country. He is in league with George Soros and Tom Styer. I have never been involved with a political forum before where a piece like this  wasn't posted strictly to be mocked and ridiculed. Instead this was posted to slam the GOP President and be taken seriously.

Over the last month I have noticed a trend here. A select few Trump detractors pump article after article from openly Leftist sources to destroy the President and the party. When it is brought up that it is Lib spin the posters claim that those questioning the source are just bashing the messenger because the theme of the article is too valid to question. Under that logic Mien Kampf should be considered serious because there were valid points in that in between the extermination and world domination. It is a total bullshit argument.  For Christs sakes someone posted a quote form Max effing Baucus like it was some sort of wise and insightful thing and not the Leftist drool he is known for. WTF is that about? It is because we have frauds here who have only one mission. Fracture  and demoralize the Right so that their friends have an easier time at the ballot box. I'm not buying it.

Except the Republican Party and it's leadership has done far more to demoralize Conservatives and hand Democrats victory after victory than anything David 'jizz-over-pant-creases' Brock has done.

The target of the IRS was Tea Partiers and they were the enemies of both the Dems and the GOP. So for those in power, no harm, no foul...

So that means we should join in and turn the place into effing DU. You are brilliant. Real high level thinking around here anymore.

Is that what it means Frank?  To turn this place into DU simply because I stated the truth about who has demoralized Conservatives more?

[DB]

I'm so confused...

The DU types attack business, particularly big business. They want those businesses to pay more taxes and pay more for government services (e.g. the USPS in this case). It is Trump and his supporters who are currently doing exactly that - yet you say opposition to that is making this place "into effing DU"...

Don't you have that backwards?

[catfish1957]

Don't worry.  You have done more than your share in that department.

Let's just say that on Election Day, I remember telling my wife "At least Fedzilla will be slowed Down". and "Heck,  he even claims to do away with the IRS."    Jokes on you fool.   He's may be using them like a  tool, just as much as Obama did.

On any other topic, we'd be posting the errors in the story, using facts to demolish propaganda.  But when it comes to the fragile king, we must not even face such claims ...probably because they're often true!

For example, who's going to deny the fake Time magazine covers he's posted,  when he's already been caught doing it before?

This Lesser Of Two Evils is lazy bullshit thinking. Back in the day we called it making an informed decision and moved on. Most of us make these decisions every day of our lives from cars to toothpaste.  Evil used to be used for child rapists, serial killers and Mormons. Now a select group is using it to describe a President who had a spend crazy budget. Guess what. You have to go back to Calvin Coolidge to find a budget that wasn't a train wreck.

Keep voting for your unviable candidates that only three people want if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy. You'll be sitting there in perpetual disappointment. The rest of us will live in the real world and at least have the option of being happy with what is going on now and again.

Cruz largely supports Trump, at least 80% of Trump's agenda. The Cruz-ers are the ones who say bitter things, in some instances it is pure hypocrisy, they don't agree with Cruz on things. One has to decide on whether they are worth paying attention to. What a joke if they are the ones to tell us what conservatism is.

The US is on a much better course now and virtually everyone knows it. These detractors would have us wallowing in lots of problems if they had their way.

I think you're very confused.  You seem to think that because Trump supporters like you agree with everything the POTUS does that Cruz supporters think they have to agree with everything Cruz does.

[Frank Cannon]

Why are you trying to hijack this thread with Cruz?

Are you a new poster here? Have you not met Tommy yet? If a thread has the letter "C" in it Tommy will go off on Cruz. I think Tommy was cut off on the highway by a Datsun B210 with a Cruz sticker years ago and he still hasn't gotten over it.

Ted Cruz wants what is best for this nation.... as does the so-called "Cruz-ers", as you put it.  That means opposing the leftist agenda.  And... as long as Trump fights against the leftist agenda...vs. appeasing or caving to it.... I, as a proud ""Cruz-er""... and as Cruz, himself....

will support Donald Trump.

It's just that simple.  Please don't try to make it into something sinister or demeaning..

And, that since he supports 80% of the Trump agenda/policy, the rest of 'you' here should try to be as grown-up and mature.

I’m glad you’re the one to point this out. Some of us at various times have tried in vain, only to be insulted into silence. But very few can go toe to toe with you.

Being old does not make one 'grown-up' or 'mature'.  There are plenty of people here that have a balanced view of POTUS. There are also a few here that think there's nothing POTUS can do right, and they are tolerated just like those that think there's nothing POTUS can do wrong.

Never let anyone tell you have to support this or that person.  I've gotten plenty of the "vote for Trump to save us from Hillary" nonsense.  I've been accused of treason with the suggestion that I be executed -- because I refused and still refuse to worship Trump.  Someone here told me I was mentally incompetent and shouldn't be allowed to vote.  I ignored them all and still do. 

Ted Cruz said, "vote your conscience" and he's right.  We have the right to vote for and support whoever we want.  We should never be forced by anyone to support or vote for anyone our conscience won't allow.
