US Politics Thread

[Dax777]

The lead story on ultra-liberal biased CNN currently. I wonder if Fox would ever lead with such a thing about Trump, or any GOPer.

Fact check: Biden falsely claims US has 'fastest-growing economy in the world' | CNN Politics

In a Wednesday appearance on the ABC late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," President Joe Biden made a dramatic claim about the US economy -- and repeated himself for emphasis.

This is so silly. Did you even read the article.
It's a mini humble brag.

***Oh Biden said 'we are fastest growing.' He is wrong. However, we are fast growing. Fastest amongst a group of 8. Perhaps that's what he meant. But he didn't say that. There are others growing faster. Also, we asked an Economist who said it depends on how you calculate these things. So perhaps he isn't wrong. But we conclude Biden is wrong.***

Oh look at us. We are so even handed. We just challenged a Biden Fluff exaggeration. Give us a cookie.

FACT CHECK: Trump overstates crowd size at inaugural

President Donald Trump's speech Saturday at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency turned into the latest battle in, as he put it, his "running war with the media." He had two central complaints: that the media misrepresented the size of the crowd at his inauguration and that it was...

Oh look, Fox fact-checked Trump's dumb claim about crowd size. Should they get a cookie too?

Back to you Mr. Moral Centrist.

I believe CNN are supposedly 'making efforts' to be 'less partisan' as their rating are super low.

Make of that what you will...

I was being facetious in response to the poster referring to it as a tweet.

Unfortunately/fortunately you can't view Truth social in the UK and I don't have any inclination to create an account or use a VPN to read what the pathetic loser has to say.

Apparently they’re called “truths” not tweets, assuming what I read is the real truth and not a fake truth. Completely forgot he wasn’t on Twitter.

Which is ironic because if you post an actual truth you could easily find yourself banned.

Oof....

You seem much more agitated since I pointed out that you were either too dumb, frightened or naive to recognize what a danger Trump was, especially when those you consider your intellectual or moral inferiors did.

Funny that.

Police just arrested 31 people from the Patriots front in a U haul on their way to a pride event for conspiracy to riot.

Found riot weapons and smoke grenades in the van and some reports are saying guns as well.

Considering people your intellectual or moral inferior is kinda your thing. Not mine. Don't project

That said, I don't think im agitated. Also, your characterization of our point of contention regarding Trump is wrong. But hey, that's par for the course.

Another win for you I suppose.

Yup. You saw that Rising segment on the breakdown?

Prime time CNN is getting less views than Fox news 1am reruns. CNN Plus also crashed and burned spectacularly after launch.

If they know what's good for them, theyll fire all their primetime guys and hijack the Rising crew and follow it's model.

Give them free reign too..

BTW, I see your girl has become a full-time Rising host. Also you must enjoy Naija leftie Oluremi getting a sub appearance. I think she's got amazing chemistry with Robby. Hope to see her more often.

Bonzo lad, this is the "Jan 6th" hearing period! They'll, pretty much, shut out any other relevant news as a convenient excuse not to to think about anything else.

'Bullshit Reasoning 101', I think it's called?

Let me throw in a couple of "dodgy" information pieces I gathered on politicians willing to call out their own, when these poster lapdogs won't...

Even though l just dip into the crazy world of US politics on occasion it's plain to see how the so called Democrats manipulate the media like the Russians and their 'training exercises' in Ukraine. If Americans didn't want to to watch the party political broadcast of the Jan 6th hearing they had to turn their Tvs off because of blanket coverage directed by a tv man who just happens to be a member of the wealthy white Democrat elite. And of course as you say all the current present and future can be swept under the table some more.

Oh. Can you explain specifically how it’s wrong?

You think the Jan 6th hearings were a 'party political broadcast'?

I'm genuinely interested why you think that.

I watched it and all I saw was straight up reporting of what the committee had discovered which was evidence of organised violence and lies orchestrated and promulgated by people closely connected to one person and for one purpose, to subvert the results of a lawful election. Just because the evidence points in one direction it doesn't make it party political.

I’m genuinely shocked you’re interested in his view on that tbh. He’s not commenting in good faith and there’s not a chance in hell he watched more than 2 minutes of it and I’d be surprised if it was that much or any at all.

The only thing he has managed to do in these threads is make Dax and Bigga seem more reasonable and sane.

I wonder if his sermons are written in the same style.

I was giving him the opportunity to explain his reasoning, but I'm really not expecting it to make any sense.

Fuck off, fella.

I see you're also side stepping issues with Biden, from within his own party, to focus on these hearings, like the rest of these idiots.

Highly convenient people can't multitask unless it suits their purpose.

Is this one of those There are good people on both sides stories?

It had to happen. The reporting of politics are wholly divided for mistruths and mis/disinformation for centre left and right.

Just because the right do it more doesn't mean it's correct for the centre left media to encroach on that methodology i.e., two wrongs don't make a right.

It's fucked up that supposedly 'intelligent' posters on these threads would rather not question what it sees on MSM as national polls render their verdict on how this administration is handling events in its tenure.

And these posters think they're above criticism by ignoring well reasoned questions by other participants. Shows the intention of the posters on this thread, creating their own circle jerk for collective appreciation instead of dealing with challenging questions.

The challenging question for me is who’s going to run for the Democrats if Biden doesn’t or can’t. I’ve felt for a long time that he was a four-year President — a “bridge” name, so I’ve been wondering this for awhile.
