Trump trump trump in the news Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump more Trump news all the time

[Jhhnn]

I have attained Trump overload. Listening to the radio my day starts out with "WTF is wrong with Trump" show. Then there is the "we hate Trump" show, followed by the "lets try to figure out Trump" show, then my day ends with the "we hate Trump" show part two.
At this point, I'm second generation "I don't give a fuck". I'd like a morning summary of his stupid tweets, then a summary at the end of the day of the endless investigation speculation.
I may have to give up talk radio. It used to be informative and thought provoking, now it's repetitive and inane.
Does Oly North still have a radio show?

Are we supposed to just ho-hum our way past the continuous chaos generated by our President? There's some new atrocity on a near daily basis.

Talk radio? That shit causes brain damage unless it's NPR.

You're more than welcome to pay close attention to every detail. I, on the other hand, have had more than my fill. 80% of what I hear is speculation based as often as not on hearsay. I'll be far more attentive once the charges have been filled.

Even if you ignore the Russia thing & the sexual imbroglios there's plenty of stupidity & malice emanating from the oval office. Do you need a list?

 

[Hugo Drax]

Um, you do realize there's more than one of those, right? Not sure how many exactly, but there's at least two of them (and I believe there's been strong hints that there's more, I seem to recall there being talk that they're waiting for the one to work its way through court hoping it'll set a precedent that will mean the NDAs that Turmp sure seemed to like to setup for all his clandestine transgressions might not hold up, freeing people from potential legal liability over talking about them). And the reason articles about that keep showing up is because there are new developments. What you seem to believe is repetition is actually separate things or actually new information.

So, I don't know, maybe try actually fucking reading the fucking articles instead of just being a typical dumbfuck brainless shit for brains asshole by reading just the titles? If you did, you might understand why its a little more than Turmp banging some pornstar (i.e. the case has actual legal ramifications, and the discovery of evidence for the case looks to be potentially providing information relevant to the many other investigations of Turmp going on, because his lawyer that handled that particular situation is now cooperating with some of the investigators).

You could also, I don't know actually look for stuff about said tent cities, or if you really think there's such a dearth of reporting on it, I don't know, report on it yourself? You could make money and provide a useful service at the same time. Something tells me that either you don't know WTF you're talking about or you're ignoring the journalism being done on those topics.

Seriously, WTF, I used to think you were a reasonably intelligent person but either someone hijacked your account or you've been masquerading as one but are in fact a complete idiot that seemingly doesn't know how to get news other than whatever stupid headline some aggregator is feeding you, and can't figure out why you're being fed only Turmp articles after you only clicked on Turmp articles.

Where did I say that "I only read CNN and Fox" You should work on your reading comprehension. You have no idea what news sources I use. Most people do not go hunting for alternative sources of news, how many people even know.
https://theintercept.com even exists? I would venture a small portion of the population.


You seem to have some issues with anger and seem to quickly jump to conclusions and make all kinds of baseless accusations My suggestion is you should evaluate your own situation and see where improvements can be made, maybe take a vacation for a week to decompress, read a few non fiction books, play an instrument,etc.. . I would suggest taking down the fowl language down a notch, Not sure when people thought using lots of foul language was a great way to elevate a discussion or make it lively. Must be a new thing with all the social media.


You can thank the McNews outlets for the president we have. They did a horrible job covering the elections and did a disservice to the American public. The McNews outlets continue to shovel the same crap reporting to the masses and the young generation of Americans are going to suffer for it. College debt will continue to climb to the stratosphere with a shitty job future and healthcare outlook. I predict more Trump coverage Saturday,Sunday,Monday.

Basic themes that will be rotated for the next few weeks (you will have Pro and Anti Trump outlets to keep the masses infighting amongst each other like rabid dogs fighting over a t-bone steak)
Russia interference
The stripper.
The tariffs (topical coverage, how beer will cost more shit like that)
The Attorney and his recording (related to the stripper)
What Trump said yesterday but now said today (always topical reporting) sometimes they dredge some old news to rewrap as new coverage
Alex Jones.
Stuff movie stars said (in relation to a Trump/or related topic)
News reporting on the News (Anti Trump outlets reporting on Pro Trump outlets etc..)
Trumps Wife (Usually what she wore or how she behaved for the day)

I predict at some point they will begin to report on Barron Trump once they get desperate (this will happen when CNN/Fox/etc ratings start to tank due to Trump coverage fatigue at some point in the future)

 

[sportage]

I think I started a thread like this over a year ago.
As I pointed out back then, where every news story, every media news show, and every forum thread had the word TRUMP in the headline.

We must remember that during the Clinton administration, that anti Clinton drumbeat went on every single day.
Starting the very day Bill Clinton took office clear thru his entire presidency.
Do the math. Eight years times 365 days. And that times 24 hours in a day.
THE REPUBLICANS....
Day after day. Investigation after investigation.
Like a popular sitcom where the original sitcom spins off into other sitcoms.
All fathered by the original.

And had Hilary been elected in 2016, the republicans would have picked up right where they left off. Not skipping a single beat.
No. The republicans only paused when it came to the Clinton's.
And if Michelle Obama ever decided to run, republicans would pick up right where they left off attacking Obama. As if they have yet to stop.

Every single day republicans and Fox News found SOMETHING about Obama or his family to attack, criticize, and show their outrage over.
Michelle's bare shoulders in that dress. Obama's tan suit. Something... Anything.... Everything....

Willy gee...
Tan suits and bare shoulders seem so, so, so petty compared to what we now face every day in this Trump administration.
Oh how priorities change....
Fox and republicans were sooooooo outraged over a tan suit back then.
Just imagine had Obama cozied up to Putin as Trump has done?
Or had attacked American institutions as Trump has done?
REPUBLICANS would have insisted that impeachment proceedings against Obama start RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!

But here we are.
While everything Hilary had done or Obama had done crossed the line in the sand of republican outrage, nothing Donald Trump can do qualifies as even close.
Donald Trump is "SPECIAL", I guess....
Certainly Donald Trump is NOT BLACK nor A WOMAN.
At least as far as we can determine.

I guess the bottom line simply comes down to THIS....
Whether or not America can ever reclaim her sanity?
Whether or not enough democrats can be motivated to stop Donald Trump at the polls?
And, whether or not the Soviets have already succeeded with forever screwing up our elections?
THAT is a question only Donald Trump has the answer to. Seriously.

Even if you ignore the Russia thing & the sexual imbroglios there's plenty of stupidity & malice emanating from the oval office. Do you need a list?

We all know this. Lets get into the meat and potatoes of the issues. Maybe a one week expose on our crumbling infrastructure for example. This would incense Trump since it takes the narrative away from him regarding the "Witch hunt BS" and force him to answer to his constituents why his promises are not being kept.

Trump loves this topical repetitive same old coverage by the McNews outlets. As long as the focus on him he has the narrative and can stay relatively unscathed to his constituents as long as the coverage continues in the direction it is going.
The moment you start reporting on the issues and not the man he will start sweating like a pig.

 

[Greenman]

Even if you ignore the Russia thing & the sexual imbroglios there's plenty of stupidity & malice emanating from the oval office. Do you need a list?

No list necessary. I have a pretty clear idea of what Trump is, and what he isn't. Doesn't change anything. I'm at the saturation point.

 

[Jaskalas]

And had Hilary been elected in 2016, the republicans would have picked up right where they left off. Not skipping a single beat.

And it poisoned the masses who watched. But Fox was just one. Now there's a legion of news outlets preforming that task.

Speculation and hearsay wasn't a problem for you when it was a Clinton on the receiving end.

 

[Moonbeam]

The thing I really worry about is that conservatives are going to be the new dirt bag liberals by becoming the thing that everybody hates, wants to spit on, and stomp into the earth. Having experienced being despised as a liberal, I think that would be really sad. Who wants to wake up from a dream as God's favorite being to find our you're called nothing but shit. It's tragic, I tell you, and really hard on muffin cakes.

 

[allisolm]

Whats crazy is it not only repetitive but the same topic. For example the stripper he banged, you would think by now people already get it yet its head line news every odd day regarding the this tired story line.

Well, anyone who is tried of reading about Stormy Daniels can always start following this:

3 More Women Were Paid. "Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn actress Stormy Daniels, said Thursday that he now represents three additional women who he says had relationships with President Donald Trump and were paid “hush money” before the 2016 presidential election."

 

[1sikbITCH]

Quick! Cut to a car chase! Forget about trump-russia it's a big ничего гастронома.

 

[kage69]

At some point dont you think you are preaching to the choir, its the same exact coverage day in day out.

I have no control over what makes the air waves and net, sorry. "Exact same coverage" is hyperbole, the media runs a range of different takes and emphasis on this disaster. Maybe it's time to start adding more sources to your repertoire?

It has become noise, people are probably tuning out on the 100th news cycle about the stripper he banged or the 2016 election etc.. why not cover stuff like the college inflation problem, the H1B abuse etc.. there are so many issues that are being sweeped under the rug.

Sounds like personal preference regarding the individual stories, maybe you should contact your local news and ask. If it's a Sinclair station I wish you good luck. There is no shortage of coverage on a variety of Dump malfeasance, it's only logical that the stuff that is completely unprecedented and scandalous would get headline priority. That's how the news works. I think if you really bother to look you will find no shortage of criticism and outrage over pretty much everything this dipshit has been led into doing.

Everyone already knows trump is a dickhead.

False. Unfortunately there is still an ignorant chunk of the population who really thinks the guy can do no wrong. They applaud his corruption and pay to play schemes, even cheer on his fascination and attraction for fascism, even when they are the ones who bear the brunt of it all.

Do you really want to see the same thing every day?

I want this asshole exposed in every and all ways, as this kind of bullshit being normalized is anathema to this country's well-being. You're bringing a "Waah I'm bored!" argument to a pretty serious topic that needs people to get more informed, not less. I'd say you need to wake the fuck up and quit your bitching. You don't like what you're seeing on the boob tube? Turn it off.

I bet trump loves seeing his name on TV and the web every day.

Which is why he just told his supporters to ignore what they see in the news, right?

I'm pretty sure he only gets that kind of treatment with "Fox News" and Breitbart. I bet you'd find his reaction to actual journalism kind of the opposite if you bothered to look. Guy has zero credibility, paper thin skin, the maturity of a 6 year old, the attention span of a gnat, plus extreme difficulties with critical thinking and reading. On top of all that he is extraordinarily unintelligent. None of that equates to a good time when you're talking to real reporters with real questions. Dipshit knows this, which is why he hides from the media, denounces them as enemy of the state, and bars them from attending events on a whim.

 

[kage69]

dp sorry

Edit: Hugo I'm not trying to be a dick, apologies for any offense there. I just really disagree with your premise. This is no time to back off the pressure on someone who shouldn't be in the White House.

 

[shortylickens]

The guy spends less time in office than any other president in American history. And even when he's there he doesnt actually DO very much. Yet the regular media, the analysts, the pundits, and the comedians spend all their time on the man. I'm glad for web based news where I can search for other things and not be bothered by excessive Trump coverage. But I cant even watch The Daily Show or The Late show anymore, they are obsessed with the man and it kinda makes me sick. Its not funny any more. It hasnt been funny for over a year. This guy is slowly ruining the world and all anybody can do is either suck his cock or verbally abuse him. No one actually has a solution.
I cant laugh at it. Its easier to try and ignore it.

 

[wahdangun]

I guess Democrat are just too obsessed with Trump maybe they like Trump but don't like to admit it ? Just like tsundere character in some anime.

 

[kage69]

The guy spends less time in office than any other president in American history. And even when he's there he doesnt actually DO very much.

Beyond insulting our allies, emboldening our adversaries, waging war on the middle class, starting trade wars, destroying the separation of church and state, raping our environmental protections, making a mockery of our education system, instituting a pay to play system for pretty much everything, screwing our system of checks and balances, institutionalizing child abuse with ICE, packing courts with activist partisans, destroying the global good will we built under Obama.... (it goes on and on) I'd argue his time in office thus far has been far from idle.

I find it odd that people who see Dump for what he is are also trying to downplay his effect on this country in the last 2 years.

 

[HomerJS]

Do you think we are spending way too much time covering Trump himself on the news at the expense of discussing the actual issues impacting people.

Toss the Trump attention and focus on the issues themselves,how they impact peoples lives and potential solutions. There has to be better reporting available.

I would say Russia hacking our election directly effects the lives of everyone in the country

 

[Amused]

NYT Is definitely a much better source of news but 99% of Americans don't like to pay for news so they wont visit NYT.

Everyone already knows
#1 Trump and Russians are in bed.
#2 Trump banged the stripper.
I think we can move on from the same stories and cover more stuff in general. Lets see.

#1 Crumbling Infrastructure, so far Trump is not doing anything about it, yet where is the coverage of the crumbling infrastructure? Bridges,roads in severe needs of repair.
#2 The cost of college tuition, where is the extensive coverage regarding the creation of a new generation stuck with tons of debt they cannot discharge and will stay with them for life, an entire generation will suffer, the economy will suffer in the long term.
#3 H1b visa abuse, this program is being abused to keep people locked into the company that sponsored them and wages depressed. Companies love employees who cant leave out of fear they would lose the visa.
#4 The cost and access to health care.

I can make this list quite long but this is the problem, The Media refuses to cover in depth and at multiple news cycles issues that are hurting this country. Bread and Circuses, Trump is the best thing that has ever happened to keep the elites in control. The Koch Brothers, Soros,etc.. must be laughing on the way to the bank that we have Trump the court jester keeping Americans distracted with the help of the media.

Wait, are you claiming that even though the GOP control all 3 branches of government, the reason nothing is getting done is because of the free press?

Is that really what you are claiming?

Seriously???

Please explain, in detail, exactly how press coverage can limit or effect legislation when the votes are there to pass anything the GOP wants right now.

You should really examine why you would blame a free press for the incompetence of the currently single party controlled government. And then realize you're a useful idiot for authoritarianism. People like you are why Venezuela, Turkey, Georgia, Hungary, Russia, Nazi Germany, Peru, and the Philippines peacefully transitioned from open democratic republics to authoritarian autocracies.

Guess what ISN'T going to get Trump impeached or disrupt GOP control? Keeping elites in power.

Guess what will get him impeached and disrupt GOP control? Treason, financial improprieties and obstruction of justice.

 

[Bitek]

The OP is directing his wrath at the wrong target.

It's not about the media, it's not about shadowy "elites" pulling levers.

It's Trump. Trump is the wellspring of the chaos.

He is fundamentally a narcissistic personality that craves attention and control.

There is no ignoring him. If we don't pay attention, give him attention, he will ratchet up the chaos until we do.

We shouldn't be ignoring or conceding to his behavior either. We must have boundaries and standards and be willing to stand for them.

If he were a bad girlfriend or coworker we could remove ourselves from his poisonous orbit. But we can't. We've elevated him to the most powerful person in the world, and it's insanely dangerous.

You are asking for acquiesce @Hugo Drax. You are asking to give in to his control. You can make that choice for yourself, but don't ask the rest of us to normalize this situation.

Go watch Espn or some other crap is you need a break, but if you want it to go away, you'll have a chance in Nov.

 

[Bitek]

Probably deserves is own thread. Sounds like someone we know?

For further reading, look up breaking up with a NPD.
It's ugly. We're in for a world of shit before it's over.

Narcissistic personality disorder
Mayo clinic

Overview
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.


Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

• Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
• Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
• Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
• Exaggerate achievements and talents
• Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
• Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
• Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
• Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
• Take advantage of others to get what they want
• Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
• Be envious of others and believe others envy them
• Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
• Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

• Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
• Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
• React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
• Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
• Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
• Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
• Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

 

[soulcougher73]

OP You should be more concerned that you vote for all this bad shit (GOP) and approve of Trump.

 

[jackstar7]

The press can continue to do their job.

You can choose to ignore things.

But the reality is that this administration is fucking up: schools, immigration, the judicial system, the economy, international relations, etc. That affects the world and you, too. Sorry you don't want to pay attention and be prepared for what's around the next corner (potentially another economic collapse). I'm sure your head in the sand will be very safe from the fallout.

 

[Muse]

Well, you know, Trump recalled the first time he saw his name in the newspaper. It was a huge moment for him, he was thrilled. He hasn't changed. It's what motivates him. His greatest fear is the void of no mention of him.

 

[BonzaiDuck]

As I speak, MSNBC is doing something unusual for a Sunday. They're running "All the President's Men" with Hoffman, Redford, Holbrook, Balsam, Robards.

Cable news over the years has demonstrated a pattern. If there aren't significant other stories, they tend to drag out the fool-pool discussions on the same story, as minor developments and facts trickle in. Sometimes, a hurricane coverage or wildfire story becomes wearisome.

I voted "No," but in some aspects I mean "Yes." "Yes" because the daily appearance of President Disgusting Filth ruins my day -- every day. Someone could say "Go to the mountains! Throw away the TV and the papers!" But that's not an option for me.

The "Lame-Stream Liberal Media" is not involved in a "conspiracy" to destroy the presidency. The so-called President and his circle are begging to be destroyed, and the more they attack the media, the bigger frenzy they'll likely stir. Even the State Media of FOX continues the constant narrative.

But this is no less of a story than Watergate, and it is probably more so. There are profound issues of national security and the cost to the public of damage done to cabinet agencies and the career service. So I cannot object to the media coverage.

It just makes me sick, that's all.
