    Propaganda often uses facts, but in distorted ways. See Fox News.

    A great chance to show solidarity with their fellow Americans but instead decided to get politically ugly. Thy apparently don't even know who was behind this operation. No country can long survive with a citizenry this foolish and shortsighted. Shame has never been a factor among the leftists and certainly not in Washington.

    oh American is in solidarity that this President and his divisiveness must go - his abuse of power using a foreign government to attack his political rivals was the last straw

    He should attack those who booed the CIC on a day which should have been celebratory. He doesn't seem to have a problem calling out idiots so expect he will. I hope so..

    I don't believe that the majority of Americans became so depraved, disgraceful and disrespectful immediately after Obama's departure.

    That's what elections are for and the divisiveness, as we can see by this very topic and the three year attempt at impeachment for something or other are the fault of the very tiresome Democrats and their dull witted followers. They just never stop, even at a baseball game,.

    Trump fails to inspire solidarity because he repeatedly and explicitly refuses to encourage solidarity. When asked what he could do to bring together the nation, he responded by praising his base.

    I don’t have a side — if trumps personal law firm fka the Department of Justice finds corruption, I hope they root it out and prosecute those individuals to the fullest extent of the law.

    Will you support “your side” if bribery, profiteering from trumps position, or abuses of power is found?

    Are they? They all have opinion commentators, and opinion is no doubt more popular among viewers than the dry, factual news reporting they offer. Here is an interesting piece, from which I'm including an excerpt:

    Why booing Donald Trump doesn't mean what you think it means
    [​IMG]
    Analysis by Chris Cillizza
    , CNN Editor-at-large
    ...

    What Trump tried to do in the 2016 election -- and as President -- is fundamentally alter the way in which we think of the office of the presidency. His campaign was premised on the idea that all these stuffed-shirt politicians acting so very proper were all just a bunch of phonies. All they were really doing was feathering their own nests and ignoring what real people wanted.

    He turned the very idea of "being presidential" into a joke. At a 2018 rally in Florida, Trump claimed, "anybody can act presidential," walking faux-stiffly and intoning in a mock-serious voice: "Ladies and gentlemen of the state of Florida, thank you very much for being here. ... I will leave now because I am boring you to death."

    "Being presidential" in Trump's mind was what had turned the US into a country that the rest of the world was taking advantage of and mocking behind our backs (and sometimes right in front of our faces). All these politicians were so worried about acting ""nice" and "right" that they didn't fight for the public. And Trump was coming to change all of that.

    ...​
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/28/politics/donald-trump-booinng-world-series/index.html

    The point here is that Trump has fundamenally transformed how we view the presidency. Trump came in acting like a foul-mouthed bully and got away with much that was considered an absolute affront in politics. The name-calling, the petty personal insults, the foul-mouthed tirades against any and all opponents, the chants to lock up an American politician and presidential candidate... Trump brought us all of this. He is being booed by Americans who have watched him behave worse as a presidential candidate and then a president for four very long years and beyond now. How can you blame a crowd at a baseball game for treating Trump the way he treats others? How can you blame them for disrespecting the president who himself eshews all respect and has shown absolutely none for other politicians, including past presidents and his 2016 opponent? Oh, and has now blatantly abused his presidential powers in a bid to involve a foreign power in harming another political opponent much more recently!

    Wanting to impeach the President before he even took office doesn't inspire solidarity, nor does working behind the scenes on 'Insurance Policies' and fake investigations of "Russian Collusion" Yet Leftists will still call the President "Divisive". Remarkable!

    Yep. And that's one of the really important point from last night. It is the impact that Trump has had on the general level of discourse in public. It is not surprising that to learn that so many people hate Trump - we already knew that. But Trump has encouraged and actively championed the idea of holding politicians to the same level as an internet troll. Seeing it tossed back into his face is funny tho.

    Yea...Trump bragged about grabbing women by the ***** before he was elected, he attacked Gold Star families before he was elected, he refused to attack David Duke before he was elected, he attacked war heroes before he was elected, he publicly asked for Russia to provide assistance against his political opponent before he was elected, and he bragged about the size of his penis before he was elected.

    Divisive is the least offensive label you can place on trump.

    Can you explain "his abuse of power using a foreign government to attack his political rivals"? When did that occur?

    Yeah, because he and his supporters would never magnanimous. Attack any and every critic displays the immaturity of Trump and his supporters.

    Abuse of power is refusing to honor Congressional subpoenas and oversight. The Supreme Court already ruled on this in the Nixon case.

    There was an opportunity at that game for all Americans to cheer the Presidency and its symbolism because it was a time for all Americans to cheer for their country, just like they did after ridding the world of Osama ben Laden. There were no Republicans booing Obama after OBL bought it but the leftists are just too small to celebrate what should have been, in a perfect setting, a victory for all Americans.

    Full on State Propaganda Mouthpieces they are.

    Not much to argue with there .. The question I ask though - is - how is it that he is still in office - given what you have stated ? Why has the GOP Establishment old guard not put him out to pasture and let Pence sit in the Oval Orifice for a few years ?

    You seriously eat up the narrative, even after CNN has been CONSTANTLY caught fabricating the news.

    Do you ever get pissed at Donald Trump for undercutting your talking points so directly?

    Here is Donald Trump following the death of OBL:
