Trump is a modern-day Joseph Goebbels

Dude, what?

CNN was the first link to come up when you were getting your oil changed?

Someone hack your account or something

You sound like woolee those last two posts

 

Yesterday while getting my oil changed, there was a TV playing Fox News. After hearing this fun fact on Fox News, I broke my cell phone telephone and asked the google machine to lookup "Trump diverting FEMA funds".

I posted the first link that came up, without consulting you on what you consider a reliable source. I'm sorry VG, it won't happen again.

 

"Guy on the internet who always thinks he's the smartest in the room cant understand simply worded post"

Today's Onion headline. Maybe.

 

I'm still waiting to find out why Trump hasnt sued CNN for telling so many lies about him

 

Australian English always has a dense layer of sarcasm baked in. If you just mean what you say it can throw people off.

He's probably afraid of Chris Cuomo.

 

Perfect timing

"Psychiatrist" says Trump "may have" killed more people than Hitler, Stalin and Mao

CNN host...yep, thats right, CNN

CNN host doesnt bat an eyelid

3:15 for the clanger



Seriously, what the hell is going on?

 

Just out of curiosity, do you usually add the telephone after cell phone so people know you arent talking about a cell phone toaster?

 

Again, different circumstances for government officials at all levels, they have to prove malicous intent as well as the statement being false

Opinion | Jessica Levinson: Trump can’t sue Woodward for libel — so he’s attacking free speech instead

 

BFD. The psychiatrist's comment was peripheral to the main topic and was given as essentially a hypothetical. He didn't say Trump did kill, or probably killed, more people than those other tyrants--although the implication was clear. (he did say he may have killed, which is highly unlikely). His point essentially was that even if Trump had done that, psychiatrists shouldn't be offering public analyses of his actions. I agree it was worded in a way that implied Trump did or might have done the deeds in question. It reminded me of Trump's remark that Hillary and Obama were the creators of ISIS. (Say what?) I guess the host could have said: Wait a minute, stop the music! Do you seriously believe there's even a remote possibility that Trump killed tens of millions of people--or even one person? Where is your proof? Maybe that's what he should have done. Why didn't he? I don't know. Possibly because the point seemed peripheral to the main issue they were discussing, he was focusing on that, it would have invited a convoluted discussion of Trump's alleged body count, there was another guest psychiatrist, and time was limited. Anyhow, compare that to Fox's typical coverage, put it in the context of overall performance, and we have a good illustration of how you cherry pick isolated instances to prove your points.

Let's be clear. There's nothing in Trump's record so far that's remotely comparable in magnitude to the horrors perpetrated by the Nazi leaders. There are, however, disturbing patterns that raise legitimate concerns, such as his obvious admiration for and coziness with dictators, demonization of people and groups that happen to be of color, cult of personality, fanning the fires of nativism and nationalism, attacks on the press.--not to mention the behavior of his followers at the rallies, the tiki torchlight march in Charlottesville (Jews Will Not Replace Us),Richard Spencer's white nationalists giving the stiff armed Hail, Trump! salute after the election, the rise of paramilitary outfits like the Oath Keepers, gangs like the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer, etc. Not things that we're used to in the States.

 

Probably because he knows he hasn't got a hope in Hell of winning that case. Or at least his advisers have told him that.

 

Nup, there is no explaining that away, psychiatrist guy goes on full blown rant. Host doesnt react as he should because he is used to similar by the water cooler rants from his colleagues

And whats the bet psychiatrist guy learned that style of arguing from internet forums - blurting out oversensationalized craziness within three paragraphs. Dude has been online ranting fo' sure

Hell, if he had snuck in the word neoliberal, I would have thought he was a mutual friend of ours

Its not Trump its social media, this guy is a psychiatrist, not psychologist, which means medical degree, 10+ years at Uni, deacades in the field, but now his whole career gets summed up by this interview. Because he blurted out stuff without thinking

 

Its not just Trump, any wealthy public figure would be suing the media left, right and centre if there was a chance to influence them and/or recieve net financial gain

 

BFD. Lots of psychiatrists are assholes. The one on the other side didn't impress me much either. But the male shrink did make an interesting statement: the voters who elected Trump are the crazy ones. Analyze them!

 

Wait until someone tells him what happened to the last guy.

 

Yeah, he probably didn't think that one through.

 

Just because theres no trump meme thread anymore

 

.....that he probably died of old age?

Marcus Agrippa was the last king of Judea

 

According to Josephus in Antiquities, he died at the age of 54 after being proclaimed a god and being smitten shortly afterward with violent pains in his heart and abdomen which led to his death five days later. Deification can be dangerous.

 

You can't learn anything from ancient historians. Sure, they had the foresight to start recording things, but it was all just bullshit, you know?

 

Yes, fake news was a problem even then,
