President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

And we wonder why "Fake News" gains traction?

Current headlines on Google News:

Stephon Clark was shot six times in the back, family's autopsy shows

Stephon Clark was shot eight times from behind, independent autopsy finds

Stephon Clark May Have Been Alive for 10 Minutes After Being Shot 7 Times in the Back: Doctor

 

It shows their hypocrisy in that they're complaining the kids are scripted while they have their own talking points.

They're honestly terrified to have an honest debate over this issue and show how desperate they are to avoid talking about it. And their usual games aren't working. Look how "thoughts and prayers" are now being mocked. Talk about scripted slogans.

 

There are two stories from the same press conference and they disagree on the number of times the victim was shot from behind. Everybody heard the same words from the same (very direct) source. Odd.
The same general conclusion is obvious, however. The cops are going to have some explaining to do.

 

And another response from the guy. I guess based on his experience being interviewed after fights, interviews are not rehearsed. Of course this same person thinks apricot seeds cured a loved one of cancer and chemo is dangerous and ineffective and I'm wrong for pointing out that his own personal experience is wrong, that what he sees and hears doesn't matter and only what Snopes says is important.

" Because you don't rehearse interviews. The kid was literally trying to get his answers down as they were written. Come on now. Are you just joking or you seriously believe what you are saying. So what? You mean you've seen people rehearse their interviews? High school kids rehearsing their interviews? Trying to get the right answers? That's fishy."

 

Grrrrrowing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
*chunk chunk chunk chunk*
Hear them calling meeeeeeeee

E.P.A. Prepares to Roll Back Rules Requiring Cars to Be Cleaner and More Efficient

This baffles me. It would completely eliminate what's left of the U.S. automotive export market and bring back at least some of the economic conditions that caused the rise of the Japanese auto industry in the first place.

 

Make America's Air Less Clean Again!

 

A fighter doing a post-fight interview can't rehearse his answers. In other situations, people absolutely rehearse their answers, to try to make their thoughts and language as clear and powerful as possible. It's why some subjects ask for the questions in advance of a sit-down. They want to get their thoughts straight. A high-school kid suddenly in the spotlight, about to be asked questions that he knows will likely be asked? Of course he's going to rehearse. Shit, I rehearse the questions I'm going to ask at a presser sometimes. I don't want to fuck up in front of an audience. I don't imagine David Hogg does, either.

The Final Surrender of Anti-Trump Conservatism

 

I would love to try one of thos oldies, I must have as a kid. Now we have some that seem to have styrofoam (?) with a fabric coating. I had a plastic saucer that i crashed and burned with this year. i would love to try the inflatable round types. The look like a water float. I think those may go pretty fast. Can't wait until next winter!!
