President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Not true. Not true at all.

His last post was an absolute harmless comment warning me about the banhammer. Obviously it offended one important person. It’s always that same important person.

 

Remember when that person was just another poster without a moderator button?

Better times.

 

Endorsement less than three hours before polls closed.

 

Some people who get a taste for power tend to get punchy.

 

I have yet to see any credible evidence that Trump had anything to do with the DOJ's decision to pursue this action. Indeed, Judge Leon earlier in the case denied AT&T's request to see additional communications logs on the grounds that it had "fallen short of establishing that this enforcement action was selective" and that "defendants have not made a 'credible showing' that they have been 'especially singled out' [by the DOJ]."

To the contrary, I think that career staff in the DOJ Antitrust Division were skeptical of the Comcast-NBCU merger to begin with--and that they further soured on it based on their experience with the consent decree that had been put in place instead. Notably, as I mentioned before, a very large number of the career DOJ officials signed the complaint--which is pretty rare. I interpreted that as a sign that they wanted to indicate that they were standing behind the lawsuit, and that it wasn't being motivated by political concerns. (Contrast this was the recent administration brief arguing that the ACA is now unconstitutional, where the career DOJ officials who had been working on the matter withdrew from the case before the brief was filed.)

 

OK now it's time to play the game that's sweeping the nation: Accurate quote or satire?

"We’re America, Bitch:" White House Official Defines Trump Doctrine - The Atlantic

 

I now understand the foundation of Trump’s foreign policy:

 

Rep. Jayapal meets 174 asylum-seeking women, many separated from children, at SeaTac prison

I bet the trump supporters and defenders here and all over are jerking off with ferocity and abject glee knowing that Hispanic mothers cry themselves all their waking hours wondering what became of the children kidnaped by ICE and sold to trump slave traders in Saudi Arabia and UAE.

 

Or perhaps he was banned for something he did before his last post, or for a post that has since been deleted.

 

If it's who I assume you're talking about, that's a hell of a long time ago. He was already a mod before I signed up 13 years ago.

 

And the 29 members of the DOJ Antitrust Division's Telecom and Broadband Division all signed their names to the complaint why?

The nonsense about DOJ telling them they had to sell CNN seems to have clearly been planted by AT&T flacks to take advantage of the media's anti-Trump bias. The NYT and WSJ both reported the more nuanced story that DOJ instead requested that they either sell all of Turner Broadcasting or DirectTV. So you do appear to be disseminating "fake news."

I certainly don't like Trump and don't necessarily agree with the DOJ's position. But, as usual, your endless ranting and raving is not supported by evidence.
