Who Trump is, who his core supporters are....a brilliant perspective

Let's take Hillary for a minute, shall we? So what if a significant portion of Republicans polled believe she headed a child porn ring in a pizza parlor in a psycho-version of Chuckie Cheese? She probably employed some of those 300 defrocked pious priests who chose to go over to the dark side. Don't you follow the Q movement? What's wrong with you? How delusional can you be?
"What's wrong Trump saying 'the media is the enemy of the people'? And especially CNN? "

One of the requirements of gaining power by fascist leaders is the elimination of the free press. If the public doesn't trust the media, then the fascist leader can tell them what is true and what is not. That's one very real danger. By targeting the media (besides FoxNews) then only one side of the truth be known-the truth they want you to hear. That should frighten everyone. The other is that some deranged nut will send a bomb to the "enemy of the people." The second danger played out this week. The first is on going.

"So what of Trump shows-off his physical prowess by demonstrating how to body slam an opponent and his supporters do the same for a reporter in the crowd? "

Encouraging violence by the President of the United States will begat violence, as shown by what happened this week. It likely is a direct result of Trump demonizing his political opponents, and if he says it's OK to body slam a member of the press, then, since they are the enemy of the people, it's OK to send them a pipe bomb, too. Unless you think it's OK to body slam someone who is reporting what is going on in Trump rallies. If that's the case, I'm wasting my time answering your question. 

"So what if a significant portion of Republicans polled believe she headed a child porn ring in a pizza parlor in a psycho-version of Chuckie Cheese?"

There's nothing technically "wrong" about believing  silly conspiracy theories other than wasting your time doing so. There's never been a shortage people that want to believe such nonsense, such as the world is flat, or the US didn't actually go to the moon, or whatever fancies them. Fortunately, most people have more common sense and don't believe totally unproved and undocumented conspiracies theories like the Q Movement. Anyone who believes in speculation and impossible to prove or unsubstantiated theories is the one being deluded.

You seem to have selective hearing.

And lastly what the HELL does the fact that you weren't here on this forum, have to do with your ability to mention it in all of your postings to date condemning the right, even though one guy on the left nearly murdered Steve Scalise?

BTW, since you have selective hearing, the guy who tried to assassinate Republican politicians that day with a rifle happened to be a Bernie Sanders supporter. 

Not that it matters because you're making sure you're busy criticizing everyone on the right.  

You don't own a TV, nor a radio?  Are you telling me you never heard that story 'till today?  

Yet, you happen to know that Lou Dobbs postulated something that you condemn. You happen to know all about the people whom you claim Trump is 'relentlessly targeting'?

What the HELL does that mean?  He's targeting them?  No, he is mentioning them and their relentless attacks on him at his rallies.  He's not telling his people to go out and get in the face of leftist politicians, and screaming at them while they are eating at Restaurants, the way Maxine Waters has done. He's not Eric Holder telling his crowd that when the right goes low you KICK THEM.  But according to you Trump is the one who is "targeting".  

Whenever a person on the right criticizes a politician or the media, they are "Targeting" but yet when the left does it 24/7 every day of the week, and the left's political leaders go to RALLYs and TELL those crazies out in the audience to get in the face of politicians, and harass them, don't let them have a peaceful dinner out, tells them to go follow them to grocery stores, and get a crowd together and tell them to SURROUND them, and scream at them that they aren't wanted anywhere, anytime, that is NOT "Targeting" the right by the left.

Oh, I see how that works now.  Thanks for the primer on operations in your world.  

Gee, how convenient is that.  

You haven't heard ANY vitriol coming from the left but you HAVE heard all kinds of vitriol coming from the President and Fox News?

Oh, Ok we get it.... 

Either you did't read my post, or didn't understand it, Richard.

I never mentioned the shooting before because it's not something related to any prior post. I certainly was aware of it and shocked by it as well when it occurred. My daughter lives nearby. But as I said, I do condemn it, as well as anyone else, DEMOCRATS INCLUDED, that demonizes anyone or who promotes civil discourse of any kind against others and particularly violence. I don't know how that is being selective.

I don't watch Cable news, including CNN or FoxNews, and I can absolutey say I was not aware of any of the comments you posted they may have said. I don't even have cable or satellite feeds! I rarely even watch over the air, besides maybe the weather occasionally during tornado season (well, my wife makes me watch "This is us." I have to admit).

And no, I really haven't read much about any vitriol coming from the left you've mentioned here. I really don't focus on politics on that level. But those you mention simply don't have the same impact and don't make headlines day after day like Trump does, nor do they have the same impact on the public.

I read the thing about Dobbs on FoxNews, which I occasionally read for a different viewpoint trying to keep things "fair and balanced". Frankly, it's that kind of garbage and speculation that should turn everyone off. I mean, what if CNN had a story about how the DC shooting likely was done by a right wing nutjob to make people sympathetic to the right before any facts were in to support it? Folks on the right would have a freaking meltdown-as they should!

One simple sentence can destroy your whole entire premise and that is this:  Trump has not shut down ONE SINGLE REPORTER or a News outlet.  Your screeches otherwise don't amount to a hill of beans.  

Trump was not the one who was ILLEGALLY WIRETAPPING Reporters, that was YOUR hero Barack Obama who did that. He did it to a NY Times reporter.

Oh I guess you didn't have your radio on once again when that story broke.    shocked
 
You mean this story: https://www.apnews.com/b89a121c72794bcfbfcc92e9299d7e0f, which shows that's your allegation about wire tapping was untrue?

My post about fascism is based on past history and I was answering the question as to what harm it was to call the press an enemy of the people.

When one turns to insults it usually means one doesn't have a real basis for an argument. 

And, the only radio I have is in my car, and I never listen to it.

You without question believe the various stories spewed out on the right wing sites you routinely cite but question the honesty of a fellow Astromart member? What would I have to gain by being dishonest about something so trivial as a post on this forum or even your opinion? It is obvious your mind is closed on pretty much everything not in lock step with the far right agenda and anything I post here sure isn’t going to change that fact.

It makes no difference to me if you believe me or not, but I really don’t spend any of my time watching TV and listening to talking heads stirring the pot.  

Like I said, I couldn’t even if I wanted to because I don’t have cable or sat. 

I do read various online news sources but not limited to any one media outlet for current events. Can you say the same, or is there only one source of news you believe is accurate and truthful? Let me guess-FoxNews, right? All the rest are the liberal main steam media!

Now, put some tinfoil on your head and maybe those voices will go away.

Third response to your comment about tin foil hats.

Go f--k yourself and the Horse you rode in on.  OK?  

 
Lol! You can dish it out but you sure can’t take it!  Pretty typical of those afflicted with personality disorders!?

He's "not guilty until proven guilty", but that does not mean he is innocent. It's a common mistake people make because the press use that term, saying the defendant was found innocent of all charges, for example. The reason is that if they mistakenly leave out "not" when using the term "not guilty" which is the correct term, to be sure they don't get sued, they use the term "innocent". Same with "innocent until proven guilty". It's not really a legal term. That would be "not guilty until proven guilty." But being actually innocent of the charge is not the same. One can be not guilty until proven guilty and still not innocent of the crime. One can also be found guilty of a crime, but still be innocent of it. Happens all the time.

As for expert witness for the defendant, he is entitled to a court appointed lawyer, and the Court can appoint experts if need be for his defense. "We" can't insist on anything as that the Court's prerogative.

I am not sure anyone who reads Breitbart and takes it seriously is playing with a full deck.

Of course you do. That's the general belief of those that only want to hear the one side they agree with and want to stay uninformed. Every other outlet that doesn't spew out right wing propaganda MUST be biased to the left.

If you or anyone else here only listens to the news that "isn't fake" on media outlets that promote the right wing agenda (FoxNews included) and believe that all other media outlets truly have a left wing agenda, I'll sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. There's simply no hope for you to either understand or make any informed decision on pretty much, well, anything.

Gerald meet James.  He's the resident A-Mart far left ideologue who pretends to be some sort of armchair historian, yet he doesn't have a clue about history but that really doesn't matter, it won't stop him one iota from making the most idiotic remarks anyone outside of an insane asylum has ever heard.

You'll get used to him.  He regurgitates the stuff he peruses over at Wikipedia, but can't offer up any live dialogue because that is too challenging for him.  If you ask him a simple question, it'll take him a while because he has to go look up the answers on the internet.

Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing.  He claims to have an advanced Mathematics degree.  In fact he says it is a Master's degree.  You know the signs when he breaks out the knowledge because he'll start adding integers, right there before your eyes.  

It is QUITE impressive.   

Other than that, he's a peach!  

It is typical from what I have seen of your posts to personally attack anyone who does not agree with you. I get it. 

But thanks for the introduction. From the posts I've read by James, he's one of the few folks that post here that doesn't appear to be a complete loony.

I wasn't personally attacking Richard in particular, just those who appear to be, well, a bit unhinged based on the posts I've seen. If you find yourself or Richard in that category, that's on you.
