Trump and Facts

[bqknight]

ABC's David Muir was worried that Trump's tough stance on finally vetting those from terrorist areas might "upset" those that already hate the US (i.e. ISIS, etc...).

Just shows how clueless the main stream media is...worried that we might upset the terrorists trying to kill Americans.

That's not at ALL what he was trying to say. You can't be serious, you have to have better comprehension skills than that.

He's asking that if we start banning a whole group of people and turning our nose at them, them as a whole may get "angrier" and it will be easier for those groups to recruit others into their extremist ways. You don't have to agree with that, fine, but your understanding of what he was trying to say is completely wrong.

"I's not just about a crowd size. It's about this constant, you know, 'He's not going to run. Then if he runs, he's going to drop out...'" Spicer said. "There is this constant theme to undercut the enormous support that he has. I think it's unbelievably frustrating when you're continually told it's not big enough, it's not good enough, you can't win."

Spicer said that Trump kept defying the odds only to face a new narrative,


"He keeps getting told what he can't do by this narrative that's out there. And exceeds it every single time. And I think there's an overall frustration when you turn on the television over and over again and get told that there's this narrative that you didn't win, you weren't going to run, you can't pick up this state," he said. "Over and over again there's this constant attempt to undermine his credibility and the movement that he represents. And it's frustrating for not just him, but I think so many of us that are trying to work to get this message out."

Spicer said that this is "demoralizing" for Trump.

Here's a thought: quit spouting off BS and hyperbole and maybe the press backs off.

Registered to vote in two states:

Steve Bannon
Tiffany Trump
Jared Kushner
Sean Spicer
Steve Mnuchin

That doesn't mean they cast two ballots, but they could have.

There's two ways to look at that information. Some will say they're hypocritical, but I see that as a sign that being registered to vote in two states is probably rampant across the country. That's not to say there is widespread voter fraud but they should probably change the process to eliminate duplications of registration.

It's not hypocritical of them at all. It's just a loophole that needs fixing. Unfortunately, it's not an easy fix and probably requires a centralized voter registration database, something which many seem to oppose.

Why would the press change now? They are effectively a wing of the DNC that does their communications for them. They barely even attempt to fake that they're unabashed Democratic supporters and pundits anymore. The problem only got worse in 2016 when the media collectively laughed and scoffed at Trump supporters.

Say what you will about Fox News, but at least they aren't trying to hide who they are. Unlike the majority of the press who loves to tell themselves that they're unbiased oracles of checks and balances, while actually holding massive partisan biases that are easily detectable in their reporting.

Their slogan was "Fair and Balanced".

95% of the time its people move to a different district or state...but never notify their previous voting district that they moved...but the loophole is there for others to take advantage of it.

Occasionally you read Supervisors of Elections in a county doing a sweep of their voter rolls and they find duplicates, dead people, etc...on them all the time...but its not something done automatically or done a lot.
