Difference between saying the media is an enemy of the people (Trump) and saying the media stands opposed to a political party (Mandela)

He said the media is opposed to "real change" and the agents of change as led by the ANC. So no not just a political party.

I wonder if he will really do it.

"President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to place tariffs on all goods imported to the US from China in a major escalation of the burgeoning trade war between the two nations.

"I'm ready to go to 500," Trump said in an interview with CNBC's Joe Kernen aired on Friday morning.

That figure references the $505 billion dollars worth of goods imported from China in 2017, according to Census Bureau data.

"I'm not doing this for politics, I'm doing this to do the right thing for our country," he added.

"We have been ripped off by China for a long time."

And China is devaluing the Yaun making their products cheaper to offset the tariffs. Fun times ahead.

Former Democratic Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman has penned a scathing indictment of Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was immediately branded the "new face" of the*Democratic party after her upset primary victory over the fourth most powerful Democrat in Congress, Joe Crowley In short, Lieberman says*Ocasio-Cortez is ill-informed, holds radical views, and will only serve to further divide Congress.*

Lieberman takes Ocasio-Cortez to town over her open-border dreams of abolishing ICE, saying "This makes no sense unless you no longer want any rules on immigration or customs to be enforced.*

I was sceptical at first, but seems Ocasio-Cortez will shake things up quite nicely. Almost a Trump for the Democrats.

Oh lordy there are tapes --> https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ded-trump-discussing-payment-model/807195002/

Tre45on's day so far...

Michael Cohen taped a phone call with 45 discussing a payoff to Karen McDougal (possible bank fraud, wire fraud and definitely a campaign finance fesckup)

The FBI and Mueller have the tape

Rudy Giuliani admits tape is real

(Also there are more tapes)


Its not even lunch time in the States yet.


Cohen said he'd take a bullet for 45, and 45 said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue... Who knew they were talking about the same guy.

EDIT: Aaaand... SHS just cancelled today's WH media briefing.

Looks like the only people that care about the situation with Russia are the MSM, untrustworthy intelligence community and the snowflakes that take them seriously.

Snowflakes at it again

Trump supporters tried to get 'Baby Trump' balloon activist fired from homeless shelter

Trump supporters tried to get a Hillsborough man fired from his job at a homeless family shelter over his activism. But it backfired, and is instead motivating Didier Jimenez-Castro to make his protests go even more viral.

Jimenez-Castro, an organizer of the movement to bring the Baby Trump balloon to New Jersey, said his job was in jeopardy after defenders of the president contacted his employer, alleging he was misrepresenting the organization in his activism.

However, the 29-year-old said he never brought his places of work into the protest, or named them. He believes Trump supporters may have found his employer through Facebook, and began calling and emailing the organization, where he works with homeless families.

Right-wing media called him a leftist terrorist. He appears to be a pro-gun conservative

Headlines from a variety of right-leaning outlets asserted that Einerwold was a member of "Antifa," the radical anti-fascist group that has reportedly been accused of domestic terrorism by the Department of Homeland Security and has been the subject of stories on the likes of Fox News and Breitbart.

Einerwold was arrested on Tuesday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on burglary charges for thefts in surrounding communities. Law enforcement there said they found bomb-making materials and illegal guns in his home.

After he was arrested earlier this week by authorities in South Dakota, Mark Einerwold immediately became a character in an ongoing narrative within conservative media, where he was depicted as the latest example of a left-wing domestic terror threat.

But a cursory glance at Einerwold's Facebook account suggests that he is anything but supportive of Antifa. The profile is littered with pro-Second Amendment memes, and posts that lionize the American flag and criticize welfare recipients.

His "likes" include the Tea Party, online conservative personality Graham Allen and the pro-police movement Blue Lives Matter. Just last month, in fact, Einerwold posted a news report about Antifa -- though he hardly endorsed the group. "This is what the social justice looks like," he wrote. "These are the people taking over our campuses. They are militant, they are dangerous."

...

Meanwhile, Einerwold's brother, Bob, insists that all of these descriptions are wildly off the mark. "He's conservative, he's pro-gun rights," Bob Einerwold told the Argus Leader of Sioux Falls. "He can't stand liberals."
