Trump takes down MSM or just putting it in focus ? Liberal media willingly cooperates in its own demise but will likely survive.

Reminds me of the guy that was going to commit suicide with a shotgun. Puts his toe on the trigger as the gun slips and he blows his face off. Its not pretty but it will live.

More that just another win for Trump. Every American wins when they know whats going on. Its called TRANSPARENCY the word MSM and the "authoritarian-left" don't want to talk about or admit it should even exist.

Media pounce on conservatives and weaponize bias against Trump

Media pounce on conservatives and weaponize bias against Trump | Fox News

My favorite comment from the link is # 4 Graphic Objection :

Sometimes media bias is so bad, it takes a lawyer to object.
About the number of appellate judges confirmed.
The chart ranged from 15 (Obama) to 24 (Trump), yet Trump’s gavel was, well, huge. “Today, the New York Times taught me that 24 is over ten times larger than 15,” wrote Frank. He was right. The kind of graphic you could only make if you are trying to make Trump’s 60-percent increase appear like a judicial apocalypse.

Can't be a Trump supporter and value transparency. They are mutually exclusive.

Read the link in six seconds and gave a thoughtful opinion ? Amazing !!!

The evidence says Trump is the most transparent President we have ever had.
People know what he is thinking about at all times of the day and night on a wide range of topics.

I get it though.
Can't be a part of the resistance and recognize any truth outside the collective. Everyone in the resistance needs to be equally dumbed down and MSM is there to help.

Um, yeah. What evidence says that? None you say? ok

A normal person does not equate lying and constantly putting out misinformation with transparency.

As to your second claim. You might want to read it while looking in the mirror and reflecting on why you have so much devotion to someone who lies and never speaks in specifics.

Lies and lack of specifics are pretty much antithetical to transparency

Lastly, you can't be a Trump supporter and pretend to value thoughtful opinions, those two things are mutually exclusive as well

Had you read the link you would see the specifics and the evidence.
The examples of politicians being ask a question and blabbering on, without ever answering it, was an art form long before Trump. Trump says what he is going to do and then he does it and the idiots meltdown b/c they can't believe it.

THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN. Been hearing that for 14 months. The only wall that's been doing anything is the one going up on the border.


Shhhh -- don't tell the dim-bulb Never Trumpers.

There is no new wall. Just repairs to an old fence. trump's own party stopped funding for any new wall.

Stop lying. People might believe it.

A new ‘border wall” is going up in San Diego and it has very little to do with President Trump.
“This wall was approved under President Obama. It’s not as big as President Trump’s wall, but it’s see-through and it’s going to help us,” said Chris Harris of the Border Patrol Council San Diego region.

Obama wanted the wall

"This project started back in 2009. The planning, the need for it, and we just got the funding last year in 2017 to start the project," Castrejon said.

The new wall will be an additional 12-feet tall
, and more importantly, Border Patrol agents will be able to see through it to the other side.

Now, the truth.
https://www.politifact.com/californi...ps-border-wal/
Quote:
A recent appropriation by Congress of $1.6 billion allows for the replacement of the old fencing, but not for the construction of any sort of concrete wall prototype as Trump requested.

"The one thing we don’t fund is the one issue we all campaigned on — a border security wall — and that is not in the legislation," Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, founder of the House Freedom Caucus, said of the omnibus bill, according to an April article by FactCheck.org.

In San Diego, the project underway will replace 14 miles of scrap metal fencing that’s now eight-to-10 feet high with the bollard-style barrier.

That replacement will be 18-to-30 feet in height and include an anti-climbing plate, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection news release announcing the start of construction on June 1, 2018. The press release calls it the third "border wall construction project," which is misleading.

That’s because none of the projects that have already started will produce the solid, 30-foot high concrete barrier Trump promised during his 2016 presidential campaign. More specifically, they won’t include any of the eight border wall prototype designs ordered by the Trump administration.

"... this isn’t Trump’s wall"

The same goes for the 2.25-mile barrier replacement project east of San Diego in Calexico.

"First and foremost, this isn’t Trump’s wall," Jonathan Pacheco, a spokesman for the Border Patrol’s El Centro Sector, which includes Calexico, told the Los Angeles Times in March 2018. "This isn’t the infrastructure that Trump is trying to bring in. … This new wall replacement has absolutely nothing to do with the prototypes that were shown over in the San Diego area."

Plans for the Calexico project, which also include a bollard-style structure, began in 2009 under the Obama administration and were funded in 2017, under Trump, according to the Times.

If the wall was approved and ready to be built we would have seen a big celebration in the Rose Garden by Trump. He has celebrated the promise of less important things to his ego -- lol.

I'll wait and see
