Confessions of a Columnist – Small Dead Animals

Trump has filed his papers for 2020, he has also filed the papers for his Opponent (Warren) What is to Know?
The press needs to ask the right Questions, or they get all the wrong answers….
Example:
The question to ask any immigration Lawyer…Does the client have a right to have him/her in attendance during immigration interviews…..NO… any other answer is false… He can advise his client on immigration law and file the paper work. They are just expensive Paralegals…

The Media’s problem (led by CNN) is, and always has been, that they often times substitute wishful thinking for objective analysis. In other words, they’re not so much telling their audiences what WILL happen as much as they’re telling them what they want to SEE happen, disguising things as the former.
Also, what out for journalists abusing ambiguous terms like “some” and “many”, as opposed to an unambiguous term such as “most”, which is not subject to gradation. It means what it means, like “best” and “greatest”
Example os this abuse: 10 of 100 people protest fmr. PUTOS Obama and “some” is used; 10 of 100 protest POTUS Trump and the word “many” is used, despite the percentage being the same. Either can be used and are both correct. But which term is used can easily expose a journalist’s bias.

Yes. example: The hackneyed, “We may never know why the person committed this atrocity.” from columnists/journalists when witnesses say the killer was shouting Allahu Akbar at the top of his lungs, results from them asking the wrong questions AFTER ruling out the true and obvious answer.

The positive twist is that CNN and many others of the MSM will likely be long broke by 2020. In any event more and more people are tuning the MSM out as their lies are catching up with their credibility quotient.

It’s pretty obvious journalists are projecting what they want to happen in the future. At this point I only read them out of morbid curiosity to see how unhinged they are and if the craziness is increasing or decreasing.
As for Trump, I thought this was interesting:
“If he falters, it will be because his base of rural and white working class voters abandons him. How might that happen? A betrayal of campaign promises, massive corruption, unpopular war, recession, or somehow otherwise giving the impression that he is no longer on the side of his people. These are the things that matter; these are the developments that bring down presidents.”
I’d think that recession is the most likely event. The great recession was a long time back and the market looks over exuberant. The problem for progressives is that Trump doesn’t follow their playback, or establishment conservatives or libertarian. As a populist he may very well do things populist ask for- smaller government, lower less complicatex taxes (flat tax?), increases spending and benefits for families and workers. Harper was quite successful with programs like universal child benefits. The next recession may make Trump more popular.

Watching the mediocracy try to bait Justin Trudeau with questions designed to elicit a negative opinion of the US or insult Trump was pathetic.
The fourth estate has disappeared, its remnants folded into the fifth estate of bloggers, lunatics and fake news. Nothing they say is taken at face value.
They’re part of the conspiracy to keep Trump’s agenda off the table, to preserve the Dem statist status quo, along with their 9th Circus sycophants.
They really think they can win power back with more of their arrogant ignorance, referring to voters as deplorables, bigots and idiots.
Their big problem is the public doesn’t trust the media, is in favour of limiting immigration & enhanced vetting, and finds their opinions ludicrous.
Nobody knows anything and everything is fake news until proven otherwise. Trump will outlast them all.

According to Pravda Canada/CBC.. Trump was riding on Islo-ponies coattails..God they are to be loathed.

“Here, then, is the situation: The Republican Party won an upset victory thanks to its geographic strength, the weakness of the Democratic candidate, and ”
yup. in other words, the electoral college warped the results yet again, letting the one who trailed by 3,000,000 plus votes take the white house. the electoral college is an anachronism that, as typical in politics, has outlived its usefulness but we in the present tense are stuck with it.
its all going to be swept aside when hyperinflation hits the economy that has wracked up a total debt greater than any nation or empire in all human history. the good news, we’se all gets to be billionaires !!

Histroybuff when you play a game of hockey and lose get to claim if you were playing baseball you would have won. All the candidates knew the rules going in and one of the candidates won. Game over. End of discussion.

Joe is correct. The US is a Republic not a Democracy. The Electoral College insures that the urban rabble can’t take over the country.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

No Joe, no need to cross sports. Atlanta won the Superbowl because they got more yards. After all, touchdowns are only an indicator of summary of yards. If you think that New England should have won the Superbowl because of following archaic, hidebound rules then you’re probably a degenerate Trump supporter.

So HistoryBuff, in a playoff round hockey Team A wins wins four games, 1-0, 2-1, 2-1, and 1-0, but Team B won their lone game 15-2. By your logic, though, Team A won the series by winning four games to one, but they should really lose because they scored less overall goals.
I know I know, the reality, it burns.

The electoral college is set up precisely to prevent large population states like CA and NY for dominating the POTUS elections.
Trump beat Clinton – he outworked her and appealed directly to the people. In addition to winning POTUS/EC, the GOP won big time at every level.

If you really were a “historybuff” then you would know better than to say that the system is flawed. The electoral college worked exactly as intended.
Also, though I can’t prove it, I believe there was massive voter fraud in Las Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City …. and these are only the places where I believe it to be most egregious. Illegal aliens + Democrat bastions of corruption….. everyone (except apparently you) knows it.
