    i need to do more research on the topic.

    Yup

    how did he back up putin?
    By pretending that there was doubt over Russian State involvement in Nalvani's poisoning from a poison that you don't exactly get off the pharmacy shelf.

    cant see how this can possibly be a criticism of trump...not condemning russian (governmental involvement) of a pretty heinous political crime without proof?

    what do you expect him to do, like really? with no proof of anything? what would you have him do?

    Not contradict allies and his intel services to defend the guy who he, for some reason, won't criticise. We still don't have a reasonable reason for him behaving like Putin's bottom bitch.

    what has NATO said that trump has contradicted?

    he's asking for proof of a government level assassination of a massive putin opponent.

    i don't see the problem with that at all, showing some restraint. can you imagine the potential fallout if those allegations are true/or false?

    better to err on the side of caution.

    Has Trump ever "erred" against Putin, and criticised him publicly?

    There's plenty of examples of him rushing to criticise supposed "allies"; Merkel, Macron, Trudeau and many others. Why no Putin?

    Why does a man who loves saying "I've heard this from many people" about total bull****, want incontrovertible and public evidenced that Putin personally poisoned Navalny? Who could have possible poisoned the leading opponent of the Russian state with novichok, if not the Russian state?

    The "losers" story is obviously made up as a result of Trump gaining ground this week. Everything is from "sources", nothing concrete & no journalism is being done (part of the Atlantic story has already been debunked). If you take a look at unbiased polls, Trump has been playing a stormer this week, he is seen as tough against rioting & Americans see the riots as the Democrats fault. Biden has literally been playing catch up all week (look at him following trump to Kenosha like a puppy for example). Looking at the narrative in thread, its pretty obvious that there is noting going for Biden except lies. Hell, there's far more evidence of the Tara Read accusations that this baloney. As nuts as Trump might be, he would NEVER say that and nobody honestly believes he did either.

    What part of The Atlantic story has been debunked?

    In his denials, Trump has lied about calling McCain a loser and has lied about phoning Melania "in Washington" when he was in Paris. How can you trust what he's saying as he literally lies to you? Fox News and the AP have both confirmed the quotes in The Atlantic story.

    What "unbiased" polls are you talking about?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,343 ✭✭✭dwayneshintzy


    You say that "no journalism is being done"........is independent checking of quotes by multiple sources not journalism? What is journalism under your standards, then?

    Can you link to some of these "unbiased polls" please.

    He seems to have binge tweeted yesterday after Fox News confirmed The Atlantic story.

    Breitbart was used multiple times.
    Desperation is setting in.

    What part of The Atlantic story has been debunked?

    From the article in question:

    https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/

    "When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true."

    This is a straight up lie. Official navy documents have been obtained that prove it is a lie. If the Atlantic LIE about this, why trust their other claims about Trump?

    Navy documents reproduced here:

    https://www.vox.com/2020/9/4/21422733/atlantic-trump-military-suckers-losers-explained

    "I obtained documents from the Navy via #FOIA about Trump's 2018 trip to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris and the documents say his transport was canceled by the Navy due to rain."

    "Zachary Fuentes, a deputy White House chief of staff at the time, was the one who decided Trump shouldn’t travel by helicopter and assured the president it was okay to miss the event. And former National Security Adviser John Bolton wrote in his deeply unflattering-to-Trump book that the president didn’t go to the cemetery solely because of poor conditions."
    Trump has lied about calling McCain a loser

    We'll technically he is a loser since his failed 2008 bid :D but anyway, all the big players were attacking his character at the time, Democrat and Republican. Its a nothing burger.
    Fox News and the AP have both confirmed the quotes in The Atlantic story.

    Hypothetical scenario... I could say Joe Biden is a pedophile. Fox and AP could confirm I said that but it doesn't mean its true.

    how did he back up putin?

    'it tragic its terrible, it shouldn't happen' - everyone feels the same

    'we haven't had any proof yet' - do you expect him to condemn russia with no proof?

    He switched the topic to China as quickly as he could. Does that really not concern you?

    His behaviors when it comes to Russia display that of someone under sway. You don't need a news channel to tell you that. Use your own brain and formulate your own opinion.

    gaddafi and libya?

    re my ME comments, lets perhaps forget those as i think they are incorrect.

    Are you saying Obama invaded Libya?


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,405 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    What did Trump say exactly with this "losers and suckers" thing?

    What was the context?

    Surely even the Donald isn't as dim as to say something like that!?

    Unnamed sources don't equal "no proof", the journalists are reporting what people from the Trump administration said, the sources simply aren't willing to be named. It's decent journalism to check multiple sources and publish without naming anyone, that's what was done here.

    Was Watergate made up because Woodward and Burnstein didn't name Deep Throat?

    Trump says a lot of dumb ****e, it's no surprise at all he called them losers. The man has zero class.
