POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[IkeTheGeneric]

it was because the way he phrased it he made it sound like this was somehow a unique case of journalists getting unnecessarily forgeted and that was practically insinuating that it was because of Annoying Orange's recent actions toward the media

You know, it might be due to Annoying Orange's hostility towards the media in general that would make somebody think the way Poli does. What a loving surprise it is that not everyone has such scornful disdain for the media like you seem to have.

The look of it now, everyone's trying to get a goddamn clear answer on what the forget exactly is going on with this repeal and replace nonsense and everyone in charge is either incapable of giving that answer, or they're hiding behind stuff like this. Labeling reporters trying to get a clear answer for the people nothing more than just "Paparazzi" is downright scummy. Because the article given can't just be "The whole story", surely this is all just some liberal ploy!

And don't try to spin this as the article trying to give misinformation by not giving the whole story. The agents who performed the arrest claimed he was yelling aggressively when he was asking his questions but the video clearly showed he wasn't. Any of the previous officers he had met before this meeting never once told him he was in the wrong area or he wasn't supposed to be where he was, and he had both a press pass, the public news service logo on his clothing, and had identified himself to several police before the arrest.

edit: PLUS the journalist's lawyer claimed that he's never heard of arrests being made over clients "Being too loud", and is afraid that the arrest will set a worrying precedent. Seriously, read the loving article before you try to talk out of your ass about it.

so I made the case that that sentiment was factually wrong

Annoying Orange and his administration are definitely doing inexcusable things to the media, but it's not really "new" and you're definitely being overly defensive about a politician who doesn't care about you

BTW I haven't seen any of the evidence/footage yet

Lots of "possible" things in this article. Remember when the burden of proof lied with the accuser?

Somebody should make a Annoying Orange Administration game after all of this because honestly it will probably be interesting.

Media and dems are hilariously desperate. These same people have been calling for Comey's head for over a year.

Edit: Eight years under Obama have drastically widened the racial and political gap in this country.

The administration is already an ARG so I don't know what would be better

I heard that Comey was well liked and respected around the FBI, might be a lotta dust kicked up over his termination.

You can have disliked Comey and how he handled things and still not support his firing. I read some stuff suggesting he might have been a bad FBI director anyway, but it's just suspicious that he got fired after requesting more funds/manpower for the Russia investigation. It's especially weird that Jeff Sessions & Donald Annoying Orange, who both applauded how Comey handled the email scandal late last year, flipped their position on it and cited it as the reason for firing him.
