Republican Leader praises violence against reporters

Trump is the leader and head of the Republican Party. And he has openly and clearly praised an act of violence against a reporter.

We cannot have politicians, especially political leaders, praising acts of violence. This goes way too far. Trump MUST be condemned for his acceptance of violence and his refusal to walk back his acceptance of violence.

Such language can and will lead to more violence, and eventually deadly violence, unless we the American People stand up and say we will NOT tolerate this in our Republic!!

Trump must learn that words have consequences and praising violence will have consequences.

Otherwise, we become The Mob and our nation is finished.

 

Hahaha ... you think only democrats can hear Hillary's dog whistle? End to civility ... like Trump really needed that invitation? Nice work Hildebeast. Violent opposition is the new norm, and it's been sanctioned by the DNC. Trump tone it down?

 

So after calling for incivility, overthrowing the President, getting in Republicans faces, encouraging mobs to confront the "enemy", etc, etc., you're saying these same people need to stand up and say they will NOT tolerate such behavior in our Republic?

So how are you going to do that? More incivility, calls to overthrow the President, more fake beheadings, more getting in Republican's faces, more mobs?

 

Impeachment and the 25th Amendment are perfectly Constitutional.

 

As IS the 2nd......

 

Yes they are part of the Constitution.

Now the big problem is understanding how they apply, beyond just stating they exist.

That glaring deficit makes those who keep blowing this dog whistle rather humorous to view.

 

When a free press is not subservient to the agenda of despotic governance, it becomes the "Enemy of the People."

​

 

The response to your observation from a member of what used to be the GOP would be......."You're right, Trump was out of line doing the previously unthinkable, the POTUS approving violence by an elected official against a member of the press." But those were the old days. In the era of the Cult of Trumpery nothing, not pathological lying, not being exposed as a fraud and a tax cheat, not endorsing a sexual predator, not disparaging the findings of the intel community, not trying to undermine a duly appointed Special Counsel and his staff, not having a corrupt cabinet, is egregious enough for the Don's obedient followers to doubt him. It's not allowed.

The act to which you refer will simply melt away, lost in the onslaught of daily outrages and general chaos that has become the hallmark of this admin.

 

Now it's time for "clean up in aisle 6."

How many times have we heard Don's defenders try to excuse the idiotic, dangerous things he has said with, "he was just kidding?"

It's happened again.

Scalise: Trump Miming Congressman’s Assault Was ‘Clearly A Joke’

LMAO..... when a free press is part of a political party and that free press is 94% left leaning people who push an agenda. Then that free press just isn't free press. its nothing more that a propaganda machine for a political party.

Want a Free Press.....don't hire 94% of the people who believe and follow a leftist ideology.

 

The Myth of the Liberal Media

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230556/

 

Your fanatical hyper-partisanship fails to rationalize and/or justify attacks on reporters being supported by Saudi or US leaders.

 

There is no myth. However, decisions based on profits certainly drives the way the media operates.

 

Much of conservative orthodoxy is based on the false "liberal media" narrative so I understand your reluctance to acknowledge the truth...........in that regard you are nothing if not consistent.

 

Your delusion doesn't help you when trying to judge others. Oh and if you can't see where I Rationalized/Justified It. Then that does tell us something about you and what limitation there is. As even a blind man hearing it read to him, would get it.

 

Again, there is no myth about the liberal media. They self proclaim as much. Actions, deed, words, objective.

Not sure what deep levels of denial you are operating from today, but in that regard, you are nothing if not consistent.

 

I think it was great when the Republican guy was shot at the baseball game.

See how this works? If it's ok for the President to do it, then it's ok for me.

 

These so called reporters are the mob and the congressmen just pushed back.

So what you are saying is that the media produce liberal content because a majority of Americans like liberal content. If not, their rating or sales would be too low to continue. So what you are saying is that many American citizens are liberal and you want to squash their ability to make that free choice.

 

#1. The dems decided to become an angry mob all by themselves.
#2. Trump is just body slamming these fools to poing out what a bunch of malcontent *******s they have proven themselves to be.
#3. Trump haters just love to hate Trump so their opinion is worthless in my mind. You had your chance to become civil after your hatred had lessened a bit over time. That appears not to have happened, in fact it is worse now than ever, so in my mind, Go Mr. President.

 

He isn't aware that Media Bias Factchecks, and describes which way their Bias Leans. They thought that could only be used against Right leaning sources.

 

No, that is not what I am saying. But awesome effort DL.

The media manufactures a product, and derived income from advertisers based on the number of people who consume their product.

It doesn't matter what kind of product they produce, if it attracts consumers of that product, it charges advertisers for access to them.

Spiraling into oblivion, major news papers were desperate to stave off the inevitable, and learned there was a ready audience on the left, eager to consume a product that fed their confirmation bias.

So the NYT, WaPo, and others, create content specifically targeted at that ready audience.

What you fail to connect to are the numbers involved, and how many don't use such liberal outlets for their news.

Take for example the left's object of obsession, Fox News. It's highest rated show attracts perhaps 5 million viewers on a good night.

Yet, the liberal media loves to suggest Fox is the go to place for all things conservative. 63 million people voted for Trump, yet the very highest rated shows attract 5 million? That's quite a gap the liberal MSM tries to gloss over via it's click bait.

Fox's pulls about 1/10th the audience of the broad self proclaimed liberal media.

That's how dog whistles and click bait become the narrative you tried to sell in your post.

 

No that is not what he is saying. Due to him knowing that most of the country doesn't care for the Lame Stream media nor think highly of them.

Oh and when it comes to Cable News. Its not much better.

 

I went with the simpler argument. Gives them less to argue about.
