CNN Under Fire: ‘Very Fake News’ Network Hit from All Sides as Breitbart Investigation Forces Rare Retraction
The network President Donald Trump has identified as a “very fake news” outlet is under fire from all sides as it was forced to retract a blatantly inaccurate hit piece on President Trump and his associates in the wake of a Breitbart News investigation this weekend.
http://bit.ly/2s9ovg9- funny the right banging on about fake news, as if they are the victims - but for some reason Murdoch's rotten media empire is ok.inteliboy
- Again, why do you even bother omg? It's not like you get any traction with your red pill garbage.
http://www.snopes.co…face_melter - "Breitbart"...
This sounds like fakenews.pango - It's more than just fake news... It's Very Fake News.********
- Why you posting very fake news?pango
- I'm just posting links to CNN, who is posting the very fake news. Who later retracted their story because they got busted.********
- Busted by Breitbart™ (kills roaches fast)********
- Breitbart won't correct their fake news errors, but they're still fake news.monospaced

Wow
- He'll try just about anything to get the heat off him.Continuity
- Even admit the Russia thing is real. lol.sofakingback
- He's never denied Russians hacked / tried to fuck w/the election... he's only denied his / his campaigns collusion w/the ruskies... yes?PonyBoy
- Yes.monospaced
- He also said the whole Russia thing is fake, which is difficult to parse out as meddling or everything.monospaced

Why does anyone think things will be better without Trump in office? These are systemic issues - he's the puss of a wound, not the cause of it.
- Personally, I think a leader who doesn't tweet like a bitter little bitch almost every day, making ridiculous claims and accusations, would be "better."monospaced
- Who would that leader be? Your boy Bernie, or your girl Hillary?********
- @mono - I'm saying that he represents the worst of what's possible, sure, but in terms of the GOP - the same agenda would be pushedcolin_s
- @omg you don't know me too well if you think i care for the DNC / clinton at allcolin_s
- @ colin I think omg was talking to mono. or maybe not...maybe she doesn't even know********
- Sorry for the confusion. I was curious as to who mono's better leader was.********
- I don't think any other candidate would tweet like a special needs dumbfuck bitch like trump does. And that would be good.monospaced
- Spot on - colin. Politics has become about the personality. People are retarded.********
- Who gives a single living fuck about what the President is 'tweeting'....********
- People's morals are so fucking ski-wiff it's embarrassing. They lose their mind about a pussy comment but ignore vast arms deals with the saudi's etc etc etc.********
- ^ again I'm in agreement. I personally think everything is a smoke screen. Cooperate/swamp/ politics all have stayed on course.mugwart
- the only people who didn't complain about Saudi arms deals were Trump supporters.fadein11
- Well that's just not true is it, sadly.********
- This had nothing to do with his pussy grabbing comment. Just his regular twitter bitching, which I wouldn't expect from a respected leader.monospaced
- @set - there were a lot of complaints on here about the saudi deal from non-trumpers. Not sure who your comment is directed at? or just a generalisation?fadein11
- I'm simply saying that your statement 'the only people who didn't complain about the Saudi deal was trump supporters' is completely and utterly untrue********
- I was talking about your original statement: "They lose their mind about a pussy comment but ignore vast arms deals with the saudi's"fadein11
- who is this directed at because it also completely and utterly untrue. As I said there were many complaints on here about the Saudi deal but none fromfadein11
- the Trumpers on here. Geddit?fadein11

- I actually want him to build the wall as a legacy illustrating what a fuktard he is for generations to come. The wall can be the warning.fadein11
- While he's at it, he can also go ahead and build a wall along the Canada-US border. I'm fairly certain no-one would mind if he fenced himself in totally.Continuity
- people are immigrating to Canada illegally since the campaign. Coincidentally, Canada's crime index rises for 1st time in 12 years.********
- There will never be a stupid fucking wall.monospaced
- please post source to canada's crime index.dorf
- oh wait, found it. crime index rose based on data from 2015. https://goo.gl/cYB7K…
immigrants have time machines now?! we're doomed.dorf - hehe, you're just looking at the tip of the iceberg there. that was just a tiny bump in 2015.********
- Check out the chart here. Compare the July 2015 Jump to 2016

9 Things You Need To Know About Illegal Immigration And Crime
http://bit.ly/2sc5yc…******** - now you're using the straw man argument.dorf
- If you are referring to the use of illegal vs legal in terms of immigration. One side does not differentiate between the two, while the other side does.********
- nope, wasn't referring to that. try again little buddy.dorf
- You had mentioned immigration as if it were the same, but i wanted to clarify we are talking about illegal immigrants.********
- straw man because you're using a dubious article which applies to America to support your false implication about Canada.dorf
- Ahh... i think you mean hypothetical there. Which is a convenient retort considering there couldn't be any supporting studies related to Canada.********
- After all, it's a first time Canada has seen an uptick in crime, and a skyrocket in illegal immigration. Yet you'd deny any relevancy to learn from neighbors.********
- go back and re-read what you posted. you stated it as fact. but I called your bullshit, now you're dismissing it as "hypothetical".dorf
- So when you've got no supporting figures, your reaction is to sit on ass and watch tv all day?********
- Bet all the Canadians are saying, "Thanks Dorf for supporting illegals, don't mind us. We'll just get murdered and rape for a few years till we can find proof"********
- "Wait so you knew that illegals in America were high risk criminals, but you thought they'd be different in Canada?"********
- you've nothing to support your position so you admit to speculating based on slippery slope logic. now you've double down on the stupid. stop replying.dorf
- My position is we need to build the wall. I honestly don't know wtf slippery slope you're sliding on. LOL. Can you for one sec talk like a normal human being?********
- A wall would not make crime lower in Mexico, USA or Canada.monospaced
- you bore me omg. no critical thinking, easily fooled, no rational arguments. it's more pathethic that you think you're right. go away.dorf
- @mono, but talk of Trumps wall already brought crime down with illegal border crossings falling to new lows.********
- the talk about a fake ass bullshit stupid fuck wall that will never exist did nothing of the sort, actuallymonospaced

When does the winning start? Just curious.
- Trump doesn't have to win for the rest of us to lose - he's making this a dialogue instead of, say, funding schools or demilitarizing police.colin_s

I honestly can't tell the politics of this board, other than "Trump=bad."
I want to know in what world those who would consider themselves 'moderate / progressives / liberals' think that Trump is some random system error.
Since Reagan, America's systemic deregulation and post-new deal embrace of private industry has begun this global trend toward markets dominating governments. It already does in many smaller regions, but Trump is an example of capitalism's success in being what some people call freedom.
This neoliberalist belief that the market is above all, yet the state should hand out welfare checks, is the most awful kind of selfish cynicism. It lauds wealth, assists in creating social disruption by the smallest of income gaps, and destroys the hope of galvanizing the left toward actual social progress.
"Unions" and "Socialists" are bad but y'all enjoy your fucking weekends enough. What this country needs is a hard turn to the left - a massive infrastructure, new-New-Deal investment in digital and physical growth in America - a massive tax on the tech sector for information consumption of private citizens as resource, an even larger tax re-write to close off-shore loop holes for corporations and citizens alike.
Allow for inflation, because it's necessary, and re-invest in education - especially media and sciences. Cut the military budget - at least in terms of world policing - by at least a quarter. Nationalize health care / develop a single payer system. Leave Afghanistan, and while I fully understand the proxy wars going on Syria and Iraq right now, gtfo of there too.
Seriously these days are not the days for middle of the road bullshit or you're gonna get pulled off.
- It is highly likely this is about to happen in the UK in the not too distant future, we will keep you posted on how it goes.fadein11
- just get yourself a sexy leader and it'll all straighten itself out.

There is literally nothing more hilarious, and sad, than a hispanic that supports Trump. You might as well be a cockroach that supports RAID. Ya president hates you robotrok. Idk how worthless you feel.

- Don't be a pendejo. Not sure what you're talking about, Hispanics are (very) conservative.robotron3k

You've stooped to a new low.kona - schadenfreude...LOL! what the fuck does that mean?********

https://s-media-cach…Ramanisky2 - Trump didn't win the Hispanic vote. He had the record low support from them actually, of any candidate in history.monospaced
- Wow, you take the past 6 months to do some soul searching, and CygnusZero4 comes back to compare hispanics to cockroaches?********
- he's not comparing people to cockroaches, he's comparing situations. why do i even bother omg?********
- So if I know you're German, and say its sad you support Trump. You might as well be a cockroach that supports RAID.********
- The opposite would be beautiful wildlife needing rain fall. Instead he created a correlation between Hispanics and cockroaches.********

"Obamacare took Medicaid, which was designed to help the poor, the needy, the sick, disabled, also children and pregnant women, it took it and went way above the poverty line to many able-bodied Americans," she said. They "should probably find other — at least see if there are other options for them."
Conway went on: "If they are able-bodied and they want to work, then they'll have employer-sponsored benefits like you and I do."
--
Oh KKKellyanne. Conway's reasoning is so faulty: "The majority of able-bodied adults on Medicaid already have jobs. The problem is that they work as parking lot attendants and child care workers, manicurists and dishwashers ― in other words, low-paying jobs that typically don't offer insurance. Take away their Medicaid and they won't be covered."
Buy hey guys, stop being poor and sick, just get another job.

By dramatically reducing the per capita cap growth factor beginning in 2025, we project that the Senate bill would cut between $2.0 and $3.8 trillion from total (federal and state) Medicaid spending over the 20-year period between 2017 and 2036 for the four non-expansion Medicaid enrollment groups: older adults, adults with disabilities, children, and non-expansion adults (children with disabilities are excluded because BCRA does not subject them to capped funding).
A cut of this magnitude threatens the viability of the program in unprecedented ways and will increase the number of people who no longer have access to essential healthcare services and critical supports.
The projections do not include the proposed cuts to the adult expansion population, which would also be considerable.

Question for robotron/omg and other Trump supporters:
If the Republican health care bill is so great, why did Trump just call it "mean"?
- If, for some reason it makes it through the senate, he'll gladly sign and call it a smashing success. The contradiction will be utterly lost on him.mandomafioso
- I actually appreciate he sees it for what it is but it won't change anything if it gets through.mandomafioso
- Trumps sheeple will agree with Trump. The guy could turn around and say he has a better plan than building a wall, and they will all bend over and agree.inteliboy
- You know Insurers are bowing out of Obamacare, you realize people will continue to lose unless we do something about it. Nothing is perfect but the one linerrobotron3k
- by Obama on June 6, 2009 "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too." is not true. He liedrobotron3k
- So I'm positive CNN took his words out of context. But at least he's trying to put a bandage on the wound he did not make.robotron3k
- a reasonable person would then find a way to fix it. instead gop has decided that it's better to leave vulnerable people without insurance.dorf
- you could also point blame at the republicans blocking and fighting EVERYTHING that Obama tried to achieve.inteliboy
- ie. the blame can always be pointed back in time due to the domino effect of nonsense partisan politics and gerrymandering.inteliboy
- Though TRUMP is in charge now, and it's swampy as ever. Time to wake up to that fact robo.inteliboy
- lol robomgtardmonospaced
- Do you not remember that Obama had to revise his plan dozens of times with all parties to get it passed? The line from 2009 was changed BY REPUBLICANSmonospaced
- It wasn't a lie. It was made impossible by the opposition and through open, transparent negotiations and revisions. Not closed door like the assholes now.monospaced
- The opposition are not the ones who caused skyrocketing premiums or for promised costs to go up $2500 instead of down as promised.********
- They're simply wasn't enough young folks from 18-35 to keep premiums low. For many, the $695 penalty fee was better than paying for insurance.********
- And this bill by the Republicans keeps that same structure in place while reducing tax credits to buy insurance. Good luck explaining how that will help.yuekit
- Republicans don't give a single fck about reducing cost, they just want to give a tax break to their donors. Which is why even Trump called the bill a disaster.yuekit
- http://www.factcheck…dorf
- Obamacare left 27million folks without insurance. As Trump tries to clean up and diffuse the ticking time bomb before health insurance spirals out of control.********
- But go ahead and keep yammering about Trump, his supporters, the swamp, and the GOP as they clean up the fuck shit caused by Dems.********
- @yuekit. That doesn't even makes sense. You're talking about the additional 2.35% tax folks making over $200k had to spend for the same health insurance.********
- Stealing people's money doesn't help either, but the explanation is that they're paying their fair equal share towards health insurance.********
- omg the Republican health care bill will increase the number of uninsured by 22 million(!) So if that is your metric then a complete epic failure on your side.yuekit
- And please let's stop pretending Trump knows what he's doing. He doesn't even like the Republican bill. Where is his plan?yuekit
- That analysis is based primarily because the penalty for NOT having insurance would be eliminated********
- That might be part of it, but also lower tax credits to buy insurance and higher deductibles.yuekit
- Just seems like a bad idea all around...I guess that's why Trump hates it and Republican senators are saying they will block it from even being debated.yuekit
- It'll also depend on which state you're in and how the state manages tax credits.********
- Alaska benchmark health insurance coverage costs $12,600 on average, where in New Hampshire- a low cost state, would cost $3,600.********
- Sure just look at the amazing fiscal management in Republican states like Kansas and Louisiana.yuekit
- http://www.latimes.c…yuekit
- BTW tax credits are part of the proposed GOP plan...not the current system. Just in case you were confused :)yuekit

U.S. image plummets around the world under Trump’s leadership
Although he has only been in office a few months, Donald Trump’s presidency has had a major impact on how the world sees the United States. Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations.
According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22% has confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to international affairs. This stands in contrast to the final years of Barack Obama’s presidency, when a median of 64% expressed confidence in Trump’s predecessor to direct America’s role in the world.
The sharp decline in how much global publics trust the U.S. president on the world stage is especially pronounced among some of America’s closest allies in Europe and Asia, as well as neighboring Mexico and Canada. Across the 37 nations polled, Trump gets higher marks than Obama in only two countries: Russia and Israel.
