Amateur Hour Continues

[UT_VOLS13]

Then you’re stupid. A president casting doubt on an election is anti-American.

LOL, I worry about things I can control!

What should CNN retract about Russia?

Shouldn’t they retract anything that would be considered untrue if they want to stay out of the “ trash “ heap that Fox is in ?

Care to list some specific examples of the false claims their hosts have made or inaccurate reporting that they’ve yet to retract?

You can’t just say “Russia collusion!!!” and think you’ve won the argument. Which specific article or claim are you refuting?

"The noose is tightening"
"The walls are closing in"

If I was you, I would feel misled getting ones hopes up so much. Today was so emblematic.

Hands up don’t shoot , Ferguson protest was peaceful , Fredo telling the public that it was unlawful for them to have information only the media could , Don lemon saying he bought an automatic rifle in about 20 from a gun shop . Those are the ones just off the top of my head without doing a google search

I’m not a fan of his at all , but if I had to pick one I’d probably say CNNs best and most honest reporter isn’t on CNN , it’s Shepard Smith @ Fox .

Lemon retracted his claim, as did Cuomo. You’re going to have to cite the specific examples for the others.

Shep was on today complaining and saying that the Trump administration was diverting funds from hurricane relief to the Southern border. The administration says that's not true.

First he's curing cancer, now he's pardoning AIDS. What a leader.

They still reported lies to their audience . First Don said he bought an automatic rifle , in his “ retraction” he said it was a simple misspeak that he did know the difference between the two . Keep in mind he said “ to him “ they were automatics . So he knew the difference and lied anyway .

Edit : I haven’t looked up Fredos “ retraction “ yet

 

[Velo Vol]

Cool, cool.

Nobody cares for our service members like Trump! MAGA!

I've done more reading because the way this was reported really bothered me. I couldn't believe that a child born to military parents stationed overseas wouldn't automatically be a US citizen. Statements and reports didn't make much sense at all.

Then I found a clearer article. Some Children of US Troops Born Overseas Will No Longer Get Automatic American Citizenship

Following publication of this story, U.S. government officials were forced to address widespread concern about how this policy change affects children of U.S. service members. Ken Cuccinelli, Acting Director of USCIS, said in a statement that "this policy update does not affect who is born a U.S. citizen, period."

"This only affects children who were born outside the United States and were not U.S. citizens. This does NOT impact birthright citizenship. This policy update does not deny citizenship to the children of US government employees or members of the military born abroad," he added, though Task & Purpose did not report that citizenship would be denied. "This policy aligns USCIS' process with the Department of State's procedure, that's it."

There's a lot of very poorly worded statements and confused reporting. I guess that's not surprising these days when sensationalism rules.

Donald Trump's Big Government Presidency

I don't have cooties, you have cooties.

I liked the part where he said she would lose all credibility if she didn't retract the statement.
She knew she was sacrificing her credibility when she said Trump had never lied. She also knows her audience is not one bit concerned with credibility.

Nope. His behavior was outside of his employment agreement and he deserved to be fired. He politicized his office against his boss. And he got fired. You got any statement from the IG report saying his firing was unjust? And we’ve still got the FISA report to look forward too

Really? If we applied the letter of the law from every employee handbook to all workers today, how many people would be working tomorrow?

The great thing about employee handbooks is most have a "at managements discretion" statement tucked in there somewhere.
