The Second Trump Presidency

Agreed, but he's going to have quite the challenge with the mainstream media's twists and distortions about what he's doing for the next four years, and beyond. As you probably know, ABC News just had to pony up $15 million for former Democrat advisor George Stephanopoulos lies about Trump's "rape convictions". Ever notice how any mainstream media reference is ALWAYS "former Fox anchor Pete Hegseth", while NEVER referring to Stephanopoulos as "former Democrat advisor George Stephanopoulos"? That and several other types of distortions are things that they can't be sued for, including the big one, their omissions of news. ABC was required to publicly acknowledge their loss in this suit. I've never seen it, and I watch ABC World News Tonight most evenings. Maybe they sneaked it in on a Saturday evening for about 5 seconds, when many local stations cover up that news broadcast with college football games, I don't know. But one thing's for sure, far fewer people know about that ABC suit than know about the Fox News suit from 4 years ago, that one was trumpeted all over the mainstream news.You probably also know about the Biden administrations recent attempts to sell off / scrap yet unused border wall panels so Trump would have to buy all new ones at taxpayer expense. Snopes does an impressive dance on how Biden is forced to do this by law, but the controversy is there, and I've seen not a word on ABC news.Biden Selling Off Parts of Border Wall? Here's What We Know | Snopes.com

Not only was the move legal, it was required by legislation introduced by a Republican lawmaker and enacted in December 2023. For this reason, we rated the claim as mixture of true and false.

If it was a mixture of true and false, why wouldn't the mainstream media cover it? A LOT of reports that were a "mixture of true and false" that could be damaging to Trump, have always been and will continue to be trumpeted throughout the mainstream media.

In selling the leftover parts of the southern border wall, the Biden administration was complying with legislation introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican from Alabama, and signed into law Dec. 22, 2023.

And I wonder who signed it into law? I'm one of the few who wonders, most people don't know a thing about it. The media can't be sued for news cover ups.One of the big Democrat talking points today is "president Elon Musk", some sly references to that effect even by the mainstream media. Wonder why they never referred to president George Soros? True that Soros wasn't designated for any certain position like Musk is, but that doesn't make any difference, the way money flows / flowed from Musk and Soros is comparable. Mainstream media viewers aren't inspired to think of that.Only a couple of examples of how the mainstream media distorts, a place where a large percentage of Americans get their news. Naturally mistrust of the mainstream media continues to rise, but IMO it's not rising fast enough. Maybe the Trump administration can call more and more attention to it - not to recent cable newcomers like Fox News, MSNBC, or CNN, but by the public-trust networks that have been around for over half a century, and have a responsibility to the public. Maybe Trump's new press secretary Karoline Leavitt can call some attention to it, but of course much of what she might say about it will be COVERED UP. There is a teeny tiny bit of difference in his criticisms of Trump versus his criticisms of Biden, or the Giggler. Of course they don't. The scary part is, most of them want to see him fail at the expense of the well being of the U.S. A symptom of TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, formal charges would have exposed the lack of security, and those responsible for it. (Nancy Pelosi). And the fact that the few policemen that were there invited some of the first ones to arrive inside. Also would have been a much more thorough investigation on the murder of Ashley Babbitt.Trump will pardon some, possibly not all, of the rioters from January 6th. The mainstream media will be all over it of course, much more than they have been about Biden's lie about not pardoning his son, or about his recent commuting of most federal death row inmates death sentences.

It's an interesting turn-around, he's generally more popular now than he was throughout his first term, and after all the fireworks after January 6th 2021. The reason for that is because the public has now had a chance to compare his first term presidency with that of Biden's. But he's now more intensely hated than ever by somewhere around 38% of the population, those with TDS. This includes most of the mainstream media anchors. While those haters refer to their opinions on how terrible Trump was in handling the Covid crisis, the public knows that a Democrat administration wouldn't have done any better.I'm sure you've heard about this;https://www.cnn.com/...at-we-know-subway-fire-hnk/index.htmlViewers of the half hour evening news reports haven't, no reports. The woman as yet hasn't been identified, understandable, since she was pretty much burned beyond recognition, including any identification she might have had. The mainstream media treats this case much differently than they did the George Floyd case. She wasn't resisting arrest, there was no suspicion of drug use, but policemen versus illegals get accused differently by the news media. That's their biggest cover-up, most any mention of the heinous crimes that some illegals commit. But they'll pour on the sensationalism when the Trump administration starts the deporting process. There'll be plenty of pics and vids of tear stained faces of illegals as they're being deported.I trust Trump and Homan will do it right, they should be careful with too many deportations - it's not possible to perfectly correct all that Biden has screwed up. They just need to deport known criminals, and they're going to have to let a lot of illegals who don't seem to be a threat alone. A lot of them are good workers, and the news media will pounce if anyone other than a known criminal is deported. The most important thing is to SEAL THE BORDER. The illegal that set the woman on fire was deported during Trump's first administration, then came back in during the Biden administration. That has to stop, once deported, they have to stay gone. It's so funny to see his haters claim HE'S out for revenge! The recipient of the Mar-a-Lago raid, the attacks of Fani Willis, Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, and others over the past 4 years. The constant hauling him into court, Colorado and other states trying to get him off the ballot, it has gone on and on for the past 4 years. And they accuse HIM of revenge! The public is less against him now than in the past, and they see through a lot of it. We'll see, his haters have a lot of new ideas. But it should be pretty transparent - as I said, they're only out to get him, the well being of the country doesn't matter near as much to them.

Very good, you addressed two words out of the 17 that I wrote. SOMEBODY was responsible for the lack of security, and I doubt if it was Trump. Unless the police were black, and murdered a white woman. Right. She wasn't resisting arrest. She wasn't a big strong man with a threatening physical presence. She was a U.S. service veteran. No evidence that she was on drugs. LOTS of differences between her and George Floyd. Which of the two got more media sensationalism time? But there will be a huge difference in the amount of time and sensationalism spent on Trump events, versus the quick passing reports on Biden events and lies. And Trump wasn't pursued relentlessly because of who HE was?? The guy whose 2016 win was the biggest embarrassment to the mocking Democrat party that they've ever received? No difference between the apple and the orange man. There are still a lot of questions about the schemes of Joe and Hunter Biden. Joe's claims of not knowing a thing in this world about his son's business dealings aren't getting any easier to believe, since recently released pictures of Joe and others have come to light. Only Fox News reports that, not the mainstream media. Yes with no possibility of parole. That's about as believable as Biden's claims that he wouldn't pardon his son. If they do get paroled, it will be covered up of course. Their "crimes" don't even compare to the heinous crimes that Biden's death-row-forgiven inmates committed.

No, I meant the news media frenzy, most of it after Trump already voluntarily left the White House. Trump is the first president in my lifetime, probably in the entire history of the U.S., to continue to be all over the news after becoming a former president. Obama, Bush 43, Bush 41, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, with the possible exception of Nixon, were all OUT of mainstream media attention shortly after leaving office. The 2016 election was still burning, as it still is today. That's EXACTLY what they're saying. I've WATCHED Homan speak on Fox News, undoubtedly more than you have. If the mainstream media is reporting some other things they're saying, it doesn't mean they won't make it a first priority to deport illegal criminals. Trump's not the only one whipping up hysteria about heinous illegal crimes, Fox News is guilty of that too, by reporting FACTS. So U.S. citizens arbitrarily set others on fire for fun more than illegal immigrants? More U.S. citizens are caught driving without licenses than illegals? More U.S. citizens have a language barrier that prevents them from reading road signs? Statistics that only lump all "crimes" in one category just could be a little misleading. "Let in more illegals to reduce crime", can't respond to that one. Not when they don't know the language. Not when they have no education or experience with U.S. liberty and morals - they know nothing about those things when they come from a communist or dictatorship country with brutal leaders. All they know is brutality. They know less about the U.S. than even the dumbest atheist who only watches ABC news to get their information. The U.S. is $36 trillion in debt. If it doesn't start watching its step now with costly compassion for illegals, any compassion for the next one or two future generations won't exist. The next economic crash could very well be the most catastrophic that the world has ever seen, by far. Isn't it common sense to do the best we can? There's nobody more suited for the job than Tom Homan. There's a lot of difference in saying versus actually doing. The slightest little thing he says about vengeance is sensationalized by the news media far more than reports on the vengeance the Biden administration has actually done. Trump has also said a lot about tariffs, but that's just a negotiating tool, it really gets the attention of foreign leaders who have been taking advantage of the U.S. during the Biden administration. Best to wait and see what he actually does concerning tariffs and vengeance before criticizing him for it. That's what most of the public will do. Didn't Hunter Biden do what he's accused of doing? There is a difference, Trump is a former president. All that he has been accused of doing has not one thing to do with how he can do his job as president. That's where the concern should be. Most past presidents have a few skeletons in their closets. There used to be a little respect for past presidents, Bill Clinton got by with committing perjury, Trump never committed perjury. The U.S. is facing some important issues. Third world countries getting closer and closer to having nuclear weapons, the fragile internet that world commerce depends on, environmentalists war on energy - U.S. existence doesn't coast along with no effort. Frivolous hatred of a U.S. president can be more dangerous than many people think. If the judicial system wasn't bent, if the Democrat party wasn't overcome with hate and could think clearly about important issues facing the U.S. he wouldn't have been in court all the time either. If the press would have only ignored him throughout 2021 and 2022, (like they did with all past presidents the first two years after they left office), he wouldn't be president elect today. Some former Biden voters who didn't have TDS saw the irrational hate. They saw the Democrat and press inspired multiple assassination attempts. And attempts to get him off the ballot, while claiming to champion democracy. Yes, and Trump wasn't charged with insurrection. That he committed insurrection / rebellion is ONLY a Democrat talking point. It only took one Democrat to find that word in the Constitution, and it spread throughout the news media faster than Covid 19. Just because the term "insurrection" is repeated over and over and over and over again ad infinitum, it doesn't make it one bit more true. And its actually a lucky thing for the Democrats that it's not, or it would call to attention the Democrat and news media inspirations of the 2020 riots, the George Floyd riots. Probably because he wasn't charged with it! Some things really do make sense! Vowing and ENGAGING are two different things. The Democrats and the media have been ENGAGING since 2016. Trump would have "every right" because he was declared largely innocent of the Democrat witch hunt by a pretty big jury, the U.S. voters. Some voters like myself would like to see him "go after" a few, to hopefully educate future generations that a corrupt DOJ isn't good for the country, and there should be some accountability. There are a lot of reasons. Only one could be that they've been hearing the news media shriek about how prices will rise under Trump's tariffs, while they're currently dealing with the rising prices of the past four years due to Biden's war on energy. With Trump's new energy policies, even with a few tariffs, maybe they will balance out. Or more than balance out. However the change in policies turn out, the voters were ready for some changes.

Just a closing summary. Not possible here, you and others trash forum rule #10 far too much. I was having a rational conversation with another conservative here, Message 143 a message that wasn't directed to you. It was you who butted in and stirred up this latest trouble.I used to think that you enjoyed sparring with me as much as i did, but it's becoming increasingly clear that you don't enjoy it at all. You spent a ton of time on these last two messages, apparently you feel compelled to do it to pacify and amuse your poster-base here. You're good at that, you get lots of green dots and forum rule breaking lovey posts. Message 154 I see you've now turned off my email notifications for new responses. I was still enjoying it sometimes, the way you'd automatically knee jerk disagree with ANYTHING I say, prompting funny things like this, among many others;

quote:

If Trump wants to reduce crime he should let in more immigrants, not less.

​

It makes no sense to me that the country has again elected Trump. They know not what they do.

​

The border problem isn't the fault of any politician.

​

Any large group of people, like illegal immigrants, will be very similar in these types of qualities to any other large group of people, like American citizens.

​

You're a broken record.

​

You have a long history of delusion regarding the media.

​

We pretty much know how Trump will do his job as president. He will run roughshod over democratic norms, and it is feared, with more than reasonable justification, that he will try to remain in office past the end of his term, or possibly pass the office on to someone of his choosing rather than an election's choosing.

Some ironic, some funny, it was a blast. Whoops!! Did you just let is slip that you and Moose are the same person? But you can't warn me about what those specific violations are? You can't, because I don't violate forum rules to anywhere near the extent that you, and others do here, as you constantly trash forum rule #10 when responding to me. You "took action" against Faith years ago because of her opinions, not your lame excuse that she said something dangerous about vaccines. You're now extra nervous about me, because someone like K. Rose checks in once in a while, and you and ALL your helpers can't handle two or more actual conservatives. You believe in free speech about as much as Benito Mussolini did. I am almost paralyzed with fear. It could be interesting - I could load it up with links from the Media Research Center, and others from many other sources, along with my own monitoring of what ABC news reports on and covers up. But the thread would instantly be no good, your helpers would come in and immediately obliterate forum rule #10, reply with little or nothing of substance, (forum rule#4) and you'd wink and nod. What I've got is a common sense knowledge that there is a world of difference between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. I know a few legal immigrants, no one is despised more by legal immigrants than are illegal immigrants. I'm NOT descended from illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants did NOT build America.You should have plenty of fun for the next four years trashing Trump, if he doesn't get shot. If you need to take administrative action against me, knock yourself out, I won't be here to see it. If I'm not banned, I might happen in when someone like K.Rose has something to say, and attempt to be one of those people that can have a rational conversation, and watch you and your helpers fly into a rage again.Have a happy New Trump Year!
