    she called for the jailing of media member w a different opinion , Hannity said that other media outlets have been lying for the past two year,
    Tucker Carson added that they should be punished.

    the irony is rich

    these 3 con artists were part of the propaganda machinery spreading such lies as
    • the 5-yr lie about "birtherism",
    • the seth rich murder
    • pizza gate
    • the Cliven Bundy standoff
    • etc

    Is there not a thread discussing Trump lies?

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ding-claims-over-days/?utm_term=.24d3af3f2312

    "It was only 200 days ago, on his 601st day in office, that President Trump exceeded 5,000 false or misleading claims.

    Now, on his 801st day, the count stands at 9,451, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement the president utters. That’s a pace of 22 fishy claims a day over the past 200 days, a steep climb from the average of nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in Trump’s first year in office."

    Trump is a bell cow for the ignorant and uneducated amongst us. He is a terrorist against this country, and his enablers are ignorant fools.

    Jessika Aro, a Finnish investigative journalist, has faced down death threats and harassment over her work exposing Russia’s social media propaganda machine long before the 2016 U.S. presidential elections. In January, the U.S. State Department took notice, telling Aro she would be honored with the prestigious International Women of Courage Award, to be presented in Washington by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

    Jessika Aro, on the same day, posted her reply directly to Trump

    "the Kremlin doesn't need any troll factories as long as it has YOU trolling on behalf of it !"​

    Weeks later, the State Department rescinded the award offer.

    To U.S. officials who spoke to FP, the incident underscores how skittish some officials—career and political alike—
    have become over government dealings with vocal critics of a notoriously thin-skinned president.

    you know you're in trouble when you've lost Politifact :

    Democratic presidential candidates, liberal pundits and other critics of President Donald Trump’s immigration policies amplified a misleading tweet claiming that Trump said asylum seekers are "animals" and not people.

    Here’s what they left out in the process: the fact that Trump wasn’t clearly talking about asylum seekers. His "animals" comment came nearly a year ago during a White House discussion on MS-13 gang members.

    It started April 5, when the Twitter account @markmobility, owned by a man named Mark Elliott, tweeted a 47-second video of Trump in which he talks about people coming into the United States and says the word "animals." The since-deleted tweet said of the video: ".@realDonaldTrump on people asking for asylum ‘These aren't people. These are animals’."

    Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who is running for president in the 2020 election, shared the video on her Twitter account the next day, adding, "Racist language like this has led to violence throughout the world’s history. No human being is an animal. We have to be better than this."

    South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, also bidding for the White House, did not post the video on his Twitter account; but on April 6 tweeted, "You do not refer to human beings as animals. You just don’t."

    Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Democraticlawmakers, pundits, and activists also shared the video tweet as an example of Trump dehumanizing asylum seekers. . . .

    Our ruling
    A viral Twitter post said Trump said asylum seekers "aren't people. These are animals."

    The tweet left out important context. Trump did refer to some people as "animals," but that was during an exchange about MS-13 gang members. His comment wasn’t directly about asylum seekers.

    We rate the tweet False.​

    Wouldn't it be funny if all the stuff the national enquirer had on trump (stored in a safe) was somehow made public? Hmm...

    I remember when transparency was considered a good thing... and how sarah huckabee sanders claimed the trump admin was the most transparent.



    Sarah Sanders hopes people remember her as being 'transparent and honest'

    the newly released Mueller report cites multiple instances in which Trump and White House aides misled or lied to journalists or in public statements as the investigation was unfolding. egs include

    • the homely b**** Sarah Sanders admitted to Mueller that she lie in May 2017
      • when she told reporters that she personally had heard from “countless members of the FBI” were “grateful and thankful” to Trump for firing FBI director James B. Comey.
        • That never happened; the homely b**** acknowledged to investigators that her comments were “not founded on anything.”
    • Former national security adviser Michael Flynn directed an aide, K.T. McFarland, to call Washington Post columnist David Ignatius during the presidential transition in January 2017 and deny Ignatius’s reporting about Flynn’s conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
      • McFarland “knew she was providing false information” when she called Ignatius to dispute Ignatius’s surmise that Flynn had discussed removing sanctions on Russia with Kislyak. (Prompted by McFarland’s call, The Post updated the column to note that a “Trump official” denied that Flynn discussed sanctions.)
    • Trump and his aides also lied to knock down an accurate NYT story in May 2017 reporting that the president had asked Comey for loyalty during a private dinner several months before Comey’s firing.
    • NYT reported that Trump had asked Comey to end the investigation of Flynn, to which Trump dismissed as fake news; Mueller found “substantial evidence” that this was true, despite Trump publicly saying otherwise.

    As I read the Muller's report, I now see that many of what journalist reported that were shock in the moment, and is almost always called fake news by Trump and his people were in fact right on. It's clear why corrupt people in power would want you to think these journalists as enemy of the people.
