BOMBSHELL: Fox News CONFIRMS reporting that Trump ridiculed US soldiers ON AIR

There also seems to be an implied threat that if Trump is elected the cities will burn.

We may be headed for a race war fostered by the Democrats. I hate to see it happen but there is probably little people can do to prevent it. I thought our nation was doing great as far as race relations when Obama was first elected but in my opinion he created much of the race problems we have today.

Sure everybody could be afraid and vote for Biden but the result would be gun bans and confiscations and moving our nation from a capitalist society to a socialist society. Democrats screw everything up so I definitely don’t wan to see them in control of the White House and Congress. If that happens we might as well start learning how to speak Mandarin Chinese because they will take over our nation in a couple of decades.

Buy guns and ammo. You may need them. Of course since everyone is sticking up,guns and ammo are in short supply.

I see you bought into Trump's propaganda. Tell me, what policies of Biden's would you describe as 'socialist'?

I seem to recall about a month ago he 'misspoke' about having a tremendous and fully comprehensive healthcare plan ready, 'in about two weeks'.

Trump promised a health care plan before the end of August. It never came. - CNNPolitics

I could also mention his pledge to eradicate the national debt (instead of increasing it by several trillions), among many other broken promises including to coal miners that "you're going back to work", where no work exists, but I wouldn't want to embarrass a Trump fan any more than necessary.

He could say it on LIVE TV while you are watching AND DVR'ing it on three seperate units, and if the next day he denied it, you'd IMMEDIATELT believe him, it's why Cult 45 members have zero credibility, and normal folk don't even take you folks seriously anymore, other than that y'all do go vote.

What Trump does or doesn't accomplish is far more substantive than his so-called words. I've watched a biased press take so much of his speech out of context - for the mere joy of smearing him - that I don't pay much attention. Now I would think that people would understand that this country has had an unprecedented war on - of all things - a virus, that has impacted the lives of every last citizen. So, all bets are off in terms of business as usual. There is no business as usual. And I'll say it again, as I've said in other threads. Trump is not a consummate politician. He was never groomed for the job, nor was he ever articulate to begin with. When he had a TV show, he was scripted, but not now. So his supporters understand that and grant him latitude. I'm not a supporter per se but I grant him latitude anyway, because I see him being unfairly targeted by a manipulative press and of course, his other detractors. Thanks!!

Making assumptions about what people "would do" in some snarky fashion - as you have - already discredits you. And grouping people with the "you folks" is even worse. I'm going to remind you that you do not have the luxury of hearsay that we had years ago. YOU are on the internet now, and all of your words can be traced back to you in the years to come. That means, that for your own sake, you want to rely on measured speech and good manners to maintain a reasonable public image. Thanks!!

Fact Time:
Trump stood in the rain after being roundly criticized the day before for complaining about standing in the rain.

Biden is not tanking.

Fox released the story not Biden..

If you want something noticed you do not "roll it out" on a Friday.

Friday is the day for hiding stuff you don't want noticed. If you really, really want stuff hidden you post it on a Friday before a major holiday.

Trump's news that there will be a vaccine by late October is wishful hoping at best and just spurious nonsense at worst.

The good news about the economic recovery is a bit like cheering when your truck gets pulled out of the ditch after a drunken drive home the night before.

The boat rally is making news. Everybody is enjoying watching it. It's good fun.

Serbia and Kosovo: two tiny little countries of no economic importance to anyone. It is nice that they agree on something.

And last but not least: police always endorse the conservative candidate. So what else is new.

Friday is usually the day that White House officials an cabinet secretaries suddenly discover the need to spend more time with their families.

Friday was usually a big day in the Bush Administration.

It was big in the Trump Administration. Until Trump’s henchmen overplayed it and found that the media payed attention on Friday afternoons with these guys.

I would actually like to hear about any real sustainable accomplishments that has been enacted by Trump.

Something Americans can say, yep because of this trump policy, I'm better off today.

The actuality is: trump and Hannity say Trump did "X" and Americans look around and say, " I'm not feeling it, I'm not seeing it".

A Presidency of smoke and mirrors and blathering

Bingo... The biggest problem Trump and his supporters seem to be having with his re-election campaign is not recognizing that what worked in 2016 won't work this time... He is the INCUMBENT...

So, you don't think that any of these reports have any merit?? I'm forced to use these are sources because assuredly, Trump's detractors are going to bury any inference to their own bias and have, and I don't have the time to delve that deeply into the internet for the examples that you asked for, but out of good faith, I was willing to provide.. Aside from which, I think your nitpicking may be an attempt to deflect the issue. Regardless, these are relevant examples, and dismissing me by trying to blame the source instead of responding to the content is a bit underhanded. It also strikes me as lazy, so I think we're done. Thanks!!

And? At least Felt pointed Woodward to hard proof.

You don't think some "anonymous source" with a hate-on for Trump wouldn't make **** up just to do some political damage?

If you mean several people directly heard what that ****bag said and were disgusted, angry and appalled confirmed and were willing to confirm it all when a reporter asked them about it, then, yeah I imagine they were entirely comfortable to do so.

Too bad nobody's come forward to claim Dirtbag was misquoted this time. The one person who could do so and whose silence is deafening and damning to Dirtbag is John Kelly. The best Dirtbag has come with so far are the usual suspects claiming they didn't hear him say those things. That sort of comment is, of course, worthless.

I wonder why the Cult thinks it reflects badly on news organizations when they honestly admit mistakes. Could it be because the puke funnel they crawl in never does?

Ummm, yes. Reliable news sources issue retractions if they run an article that needs correction.
When's the last time that FOX issued a retraction for the many lies that they broadcast on a daily basis?
Answer: Never.
Point poven.
 
Batcat said:
On a revelation as important as this it would seem logical that the person who said it would have to the guts to reveal who he/she is.

Basically anonymous sources are not reliable.

A good number of people who work or have worked around Trump say he never made such comments. The are not anonymous. I tend to believe them. One is John Bolton who definitely dislikes Trump.

John Bolton did not say that Trump never made such comments. He said he did not hear those comments on that particular day.

First there has to be context out of which speech can be taken. Most of what Trump says or tweets is innocent of context.

Well, you are ignorant of the facts regarding Fox so right off the bat, you posted an untruth, so nothing is proven other than you are capable of posting an untruth. Second of all, Blue Tex wanted examples of when the media had taken Trump out of context, which I provided in good faith. I went above board - he only asked for AN example - by providing two examples of misquotes and an out of context example. I have no economic or social interest in Fox News, so if you are expecting me to defend it or any other news organization that doesn't meet your biased acceptance, it ain't happening. And lastly, exaggerations and blatant untruths are no way to win respect and have your voice heard. But, if your only reason to write here is to vent, to provide untruths, or to preach to the choir, I will gladly disregard anything else you post in the future. Thanks!!

That is a lot better than an anonymous source who may well be a writer for a magazine creating fiction. You will notice John didn’t say Trump often said stuff like that. If Trump had, Bolton would have wrote about it in his book.
