Of course, the lib didn't even pause to recognize what an idiot she is for trying hyperbole with a vet. A freakin' kick-ass SEAL.

24 Crenshaw has been pretty awesome since getting into the spotlight.

The only thing the NPC's keep reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeing about is some FB Group he was apparently a part of. "Alt-Right/Racist/Neo-Nazi" blah blah blah. Knowing their standards I'm sure it's no worse than our own little hive of villainy.

34 CNN is not a "media publication" ... literally.

I liked the chick who just started listing word agencies - CIA, FBI, ... I don't even know what the hell she was trying to say. Most of those federal alphabet agencies have been working against Trump, attempting, LITERALLY, a coup.

And the lefties didn't even bother to address the guy's point of Barky investigating journalists.

I was disappointed that Barky locking journalists in broom closets wasn't brought up. That's a favorite of mine. I especially love the part where the journalist who was locked in the broom closet defends Barky ... "I made him hit me! It was my fault."

54 I had a similar conversation with my physical therapist the other day. As he droned on I finally couldn't take it. McRaven's op-ed had him convinced Trump is anti-free speech and anti-free press, when the truth is obviously 180 degrees the opposite.


The left is propagandizing this narrative and only Crenshaw, so far, is fighting back.

Pretty soon. Next time Acosta goes apeshit, PDT will walk up to him, reach into Acosta's chest, yank out his still-beating heart, punch it 'til it's purple, and reinsert it into the bloody cavity.

Barely anyone compared to how it used to be, and mostly the extremely geriatric. Half of 'em'll be dead by 2020.

There are a ton of other ways to reach people these days.

And there is no way to go on these shows and walk out of there better off than you went in.

GOPers would have to present a united front though, saying "they're just fake news media, we don't want to promote them - catch us on streaming media for our responses to their bullshit."

And they can't unify on this, as two-thirds of them are in bed with the liberal media, anyway.

Unfortunately, they'll figure out that he does, and can. So they'll invite Ben Sasse instead.

98 and let's not let them get away with saying Trump calls Mexicans murderers and rapists.

Bannon's little speech linked here yesterday ...(at Oxford I think), a couple times the Oxford host claimed Trump called
immigrants bad things ... Bannon went along with him, that Trump is
sometimes bad, says some bad shit. NO ... Trump never call immigrants
"rapists and murderers" ... he says that of the illegals, and even says
"some of them are good".


Quite clearly Trump is being
misquoted intentionally ... he supports the BigDoor in the wall, for
merit based legal (limited) immigration. Any time the left tells that lie about
Trump hating immigrants, it should be made clear it is the left telling
that racist/bigoted lie. Bannon agreed with it.

True, but Dan Crenshaw looked so calm, so in charge, so unlike any of the others that he shared the table with, that he stood out as the reasonable one.

176 I think the Dems are trapped on the impeachment. I doubt most of them are seriously interested in crossing that Rubicon when they're unlikely to get quite enough votes to convict.

But they have promised this to their voters - it was the only issue besides vague stuff about "healthcare" that these idiots ran on, in a completely nationalized campaign.

If they don't draft Articles, the foaming-at-the-mouth NPC base will have a shit-fit.

examples please ok here are some 1968 lbj refuse efforts to go public
with tapes of nixon committing treason with south vietnam to sabotage
peace talks. 1980 jimmy carter refuses to go public with bill casey
committing treason with iran to hold hostages to win 1980 election
congressional democrats ignore iran contra issues such as ollie north's
involvement with contra drug dealing to finance their efforts. allowing
republicans on supreme court to stop vote count in 2000 florida race.

Let them impeach... it just shows how crazy they are. Trump would not be convicted even if they passed new articles of impeachment every week and Trump certainly isn't going to resign over their crazy.

180 I feel ya... but this is the "media ecosystem..." going on the offensive is effectively the same as withdrawing.

The media orgs have a deal with Conservative, Inc. to be conciliatory, and cower like whipped dogs on their shows.

If a conservative makes a habit of going on the offensive, he'll be invited never to return, a la Kurt Schlichter.

Your options are to beclown yourself to gain their favor, or to not come around at all. I'd choose Door Number 2 if I were being asked to be on one of these shows.

There's always any number of streaming outlets. Write a book. Go on the radio. Twitter. YouTube. Whatever.

Really.

Really truly.

Trump is disrupting the reporters, I guess, when he interrupts all the Very Fine Points they are making, which is what a Press Conference is now for.

I mean, do they call it a Presidential Conference?

No, they do not.

He's there for the Power part of Truth to Power, but in sort of an ironic sense since who are we kidding, the Press is punching down at these things.

That Press Prom where they have a comedian come and mock the president to his/her face while he smiles for three hours now makes so, so much more sense. It's really the true embodiment of what the press thinks every press conference actually is.

+1000.

Here's the correct strategy, the ones the Dems use, and it's something the debate-club Right isn't really capable of.

Step 1 is the intellectual part, and happens behind closed doors. Settle on a damned governing strategy, for G-d's sake. Figure out where you want to take the initiative, and on what policies, and then demand pain-of-political-death Party discipline from all elected officials and Party proxies. No deviation from the plan in front of the public.

Step 2 is not even discussing specifics of the plan with the public. This is where the emotion comes in. Attack the Left, insult them, ridicule them, demonize them. Trump is good at this. At the same time, underscore your own connection to the voters at an emotional level. That you like them, care about them, and that your policies (such as they know about them) are conceived with their best interests at heart. Limbaugh is very good at this part.

NPCs is right. These people have no fucking idea what is going on here.
These TV talking heads have spent their entire lives living in a first world, theme-park type environment without even appreciating it.
They spout off stupid shit like this - speech is violence, we're being attacked, X person is braver than a Marine/soldier, everyone I've ever heard of with an AR is a mass murderer, you can't fight the .gov because they have nukes, etc, to people who have in some cases spent their *entire fucking adult lives* at war.
These are people who have put in 8, 10, 15, years constantly rotating through combat deployments or private security gigs. After they ETS or retire, many of them go and buy rifles, night vision, and armor, and practice regularly with them. They are not fucking around.
And yet the talking heads seem to be profoundly blind to even the concept of this type of person existing. I'm not sure I can point to a similar magnitude of disconnect, historically.

215 Web site of Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulder):

"As a 34-year-old son of refugees from Africa, Joe is not your typical candidate for Congress. But his family's story, and deeply held belief that we need people from all walks of life to speak up and engage in our democracy, has motivated him to run for Congress and fight for Colorado values in Washington D.C."

---

I think he's fighting for the California values of refugees from the Formerly Golden State. As an alleged refugee from conflict in Eritrea, ruthless tribal warfare comes naturally to Joe -- he's keeping it real.

So you're having a debate. One side claims Trump is attacking press freedoms or, at least undermining them.

The other side laughs at their stupidity.

But TO WHAT END ? Even if I grant you 100% of your position - where do we go from there ? Seems to me... nowhere. That the "Trump is attacking freedom of the press" is nothing but a Democrat PR offensive. And even then... to what end ?

Republicans need to stop engaging with these losers. You're not convincing them of anything, NOBODY is watching, and the Democrats and the media (BIRM) are only there to virtue signal, basically.

Stop lending them an air of legitimacy by being party to their bullshit.
