    From the President of the United States? Get real! The evil part I agree with.

    Seems to me people are bitter that Obama gave them 8 years of lies, broken promises, and that Hilary lied, cheated and is can't admit defeat.

    Very sore losers is what I see in all this.

    It is amazing to watch him manipulating and lying to the media the way the media has manipulated and lied to the public.

    Brilliant really. I Doubt he is spending his time tweeting. A minute or two a day at most and he probably has someone tweeting for him. Revealing them for the tabloid news that they are,. A bunch of drivel that should not garner any news time

    Seriously? It is really that incomprehensible to you that people just don't like Trump for some very legitimate reasons? You think people are secretly pissed at Obama so they're taking it out on Trump? Thanks for the laugh this morning

    I was critical of Obama because he ended up being a typical corporate Democrat, I am really critical of Trump because I think he's a mentally unstable idiot who has no business being president, I will be critical of the next president for whatever reason

    If you cant find anything to criticize about Trump maybe you should ask yourself why you're able to so blindly follow a leader

    He's not serious ;)

    Even when people are bitter because of Obama or Clinton, it is not the reason why they find so many problems in the way Trump acts that we have this lengthy thread :p It's nonsensical.
    Which is also the exact reason people have trouble taking psymon serious. It's not because he might be a Trump supporter or a republican or a conservative, or non of that all but just fed up with all these Trump criticizers. No, it is how he goes at it which makes people react the way they do. Hope he takes posts like this as constructive criticism and not as an insult. It will improve the discussion!

    No one can deny how hyper reactive reporters have been to all of Trump's tweets. And Trump knows this too. Trump also has years in entertainment that many politicians lack, and he knows what people like to see, including cheesy .GIFs. I think some of the time he deliberately sends the news on wild goose chases

    The media today reminds me of Fox News 8 years ago when Obama became the first president to fist-bump on national television. Fox reporters ran several segments on the "Terrorist first jab" and showed how hyper reactive and out-of-touch Fox News was.

    So the president makes hysterical tweets on purpose just to keep the news busy with it. Hmm yeah that's what America needs! :cheers2:

    Well, at least it keeps 6eyed entertained, which compensates greatly for the dubious (but trivial of course) aspects of your presidents behaviour. After all what's worse: a president that's really hard to take seriously or one that is not entertaining :-D

    Is that really what Americans want to see in their Head of State?

    They want a cheesy entertainer as their President of the United States of America,

    They want a liar as the leader of one of the most powerful nations on the planet?

    They want the kind of person that spend their time sending out childish and sometimes offensive tweets to have at their fingertips the launch codes to literally thousands of nuclear weapon?

    ^
    From your link:

    So to 'dox' someone means to publish some asshole's name?

    And losing to the internet means being subject of some nerds humor? And that's why no one should 'take on' some poster on Reddit? LOL

    Yes, Obams spent 8 years building up distrust for the right through lies and conning the people, using the media to do it and still is doing it, Built himself up with empty promises, promises that he was incapable of keeping and laying it all at the door of the next president.

    As pointed out in another thread regarding Ben Rhodes, Obamas right hand man. He was the spin doctor for Obama and left behind two moles (his assistant and his deputy) to leave trumps office, make a very public statement in doing so, to prove racism from trump. This was Ben Rhodes job.

    Why are you celebrating a huge corporation targeting an average joe whose life they could potentially ruin forever?

  14. I'm not on CNN's side or Obama's or anybody else's...but posting silly and insulting tweets is not a good example for the country. You may think it's clever...like he's figured out we're all just a bunch of greedy little shits trying to get ours, so his mockery of common decency is absolutely brilliant...but really it's just foolishness.

    I like this current trend in society..."Fuck whatever you think, everything's bullshit and I know it. Me me me." Everybody giving the middle finger like we're all going to find out we're just a bunch of narcissists and then be able to solve all the world's problems because we're just so great. Arrogance may be great at making you money, but it's not great at coming up with new inventions or new science that changes the world. I doubt if you set a bunch of tiddlywinks in front of Trump that he'd be able to build something that even resembled anything.

    You said:
    This sounds to me like you're making very light of the situation that a multi billion dollar media outlet is threatening a 15 year old boy because he made them feel butt hurt over a .gif animation

    Within less than 24 hours, the #CNNBlackmail hashtag is soaring on twitter. And they're already facing a publicity nightmare for trying to fuck with Reddit.

    First it's Project Veritas, now this! It's actually quite laughable that CNN still wonders why it's not invited to the White House. They are the epitome of fake news.

    This deserves a thread of its own. The one obvious thing it exposes is that they tracked a kid down and threatened him. How did they do that?

    Yea, I'd expect a team of ghost-tweeters.

    It is pretty easy to dox someone once you have their email address and this is associated with Facebook. Likely he gave out an email addy on Reddit which was associated with Facebook.

    From that there is a real name is listed, then you have a Home town, school, etc. Then goto online phonebook.

    Nothing is private.

    Whether this was a 15 year old or an adult it makes no difference. CNN threatened the person with publishing the name if he ever posts something racist or posts political satire again with their threat of publishing his info which would endanger his life simply because there are crazy people out there who hate him for his trolling views.

    I am seeing a paper publishes a political satire cartoon with Donald trump in a kind of Uncle Sam poster but instead of pointing, they do a fist of him crushing CNN logo. CNN will play the victim now.

    Another way to gather info such as this. It just takes one employee at google or Reddit who will give out the registration info of a user to The news source. From there they go to Facebook.

    Interns, They do it for free.

    My girlfriend is a front desk reception of a well known company. Every morning she is given a stack of papers and she looks through it all for any mention of the company or employees, as well as searching key words on the net and forwarding them. Highlights and passes them on to the president to read over.

    The president most likely has a team who does this on the net and in print, then takes care of it.

    The more I think about it, the more I think much of this "battle" between CNN and Trump is simply political theatre. CNN wasted precious space to write an article threatening some stupid kid instead of reporting on actual things happening in the Trump administration, in government, in the world. Nothing but a distraction, and distractions always benefit whatever shady deal is going on behind closed doors in government. No one is talking about actual policy and I'm sure CNN is enjoying high ratings from the controversy. It seems like they have a pretty mutually beneficial relationship going on

    If you are looking for interns, there was a leak of over 100 intern applications for the White House in 206. Look up these applications to find some?
