We have a president that peddles propaganda against Americans. Let that sink in and ask yourself if that's acceptable behavior of a sitting president.
CBS news had to apologize and Dan Rather lost his job for the AWOL accusations. Dan Rather is no standard when it comes to journalistic integrity.

1) I'm not seeing where the video above was slowed down to make her appear drunk
2) When did Trump tweet out the other (not shown above ) obviously slowed down doctored video from Politics WatchDog ?
Are you sure you're following the right Donald Trump account?
Please. The tribalistic rationalizations of people like Rather, and the shift of the news media to a sensationlist for profit model, as exemplified by “journalists” like Rather, is what paved the road for Trump.Rather was deceived, likely so as to discredit him. It was sloppy journalism, not intentional disinformation.
This stuff with the videos of Pelosi is a deliberate attempt to deceive.
The one where they slowed it down to 75% & altered the voice to put it back in the right range is high grade stuff. It'll fool anybody who doesn't know better, AKA Trumpsters & Fox viewers in general. Trump caught lying again? So what's new, right? It doesn't faze 'em one bit. It never occurs to 'em that maybe he's lying about everything...

Pelosi has addressed the issue. We can move on now.
CBS fired Rather after an internal investigation and a NY appeals court dismissed his case against CBS. Conspiracy not found. Rather, either through intention or incompetence, sacrificed his journalistic integrity.You have made the claim that Rather intentionally deceived rather than was himself deceived.
The burden is on you to prove it. It is not self evident as you imply.
If you cannot prove it, you must admit promoting a conspiracy.
“Was” being the operable word.Dan Rather was a well respected and top journalist for decades.

Please. Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. Rather just blew it badly & paid the price.

My gripes about that fiasco are:
1) It let Bush skate from a legit issue.
2) CBS never disclosed the source of the fake documents.
The rightwing machine was all over Rather from the moment those docs appeared on screen. From the low res TV version it was impossible to discern the raised letters in the dateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy that identified the dochttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversys as fakes. It was only after the docs were put the web later as the controversy boiled over that one could see the problem. In other words, the folks who fed the fakes to CBS did so with the intent of discrediting CBS, not discrediting Bush.
The economy hasn't changed, hasn't improved since Obama. Low unemployment but stagnant wages, diminishing standard of living. The trade war is hurting the working class. It's also hurting the stock market. China isn't a paper tiger. They aren't small potatoes. They can absorb any damage the Trump administration can dish out. The tax cuts benefited the wealthy. Where we're going, I can't say. To me, it looks like the USA has suffered immensely in terms of prestige since 2016. The USA is showing itself to be incapable of dealing with its ever more intractable problems, and is showing that it's less and less willing to help with world-wide problems.Is is possible? Sure. The economy isn't giving the traditional political cover that past presidents have enjoyed though. Economy was doing well at the midterms and the GOP suffered a historic defeat. Lots of people think that his biggest achievement (tax cuts) helped out the rich and not them while their costs continue rising. His and the GOP's political fortunes don't appear to be well tied to the economic indicators.
"Standing up to China" isn't going to mean a lot to people who he promised the moon to. So far all he's acomlished (heh) is to increase costs to consumers and wreck various sectors here. Also I think he's doomed to failure on this front anyway since the Chinese appetite to absorb damage appears to have been majorly under appreciated. He thought they'd roll right over and that isn't happening.
Never ascribe to incompetence when the person should know better.Please. Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. Rather just blew it badly & paid the price.
Which has jack shit to do with the topic at hand. You knew that, right?
Thanks for popping in, collaborator.1) I'm not seeing where the video above was slowed down to make her appear drunk

For scumfuck collaborators, and the "centrist" liar enablers, they are perfectly fine with it. They've chimed in, in this very thread.We have a president that peddles propaganda against Americans. Let that sink in and ask yourself if that's acceptable behavior of a sitting president.
The alarmist waterboy squad and their tirade of triggered ad hominems, right on cue.For scumfuck collaborators, and the "centrist" liar enablers, they are perfectly fine with it. They've chimed in, in this very thread.
