Chris Wallace to Trump: You’re seen around the world as a 'beacon for repression'

Can you link to the time Obama kicked Fox "to the curb by not giving them access"? I don't recall them being removed from the press pool.

Not from the press pool, but denied them access granted to other news agencies.

This was against a whole network, not against one reporter from a network. CNN could've sent someone other than Acosta. Also, there was the whole spying thing, which is worse than being mean.
 
I would think that someone would do a very basic google search when something so specific is mention, so as to no look like a moron.

I don't place any more credence on right wing sources of information than you place on sources you consider to be left wing. I believe the Obama White house statement in all of these matters your source brought up. Which was: The Obama administration never interfered with any independent investigation led by the Justice Department. Neither President Obama or any white house official ever ordered surveillance on any US citizen. It is hard to prove either yay or nay in this regard since justice department investigations and spy agency investigations are shrouded in secrecy leaving news sources with political agendas to say anything they want.

There are all kinds of sources for reporting on this.

If you want to continue to wallow in ignorance, far be it from me to keep you from your slop.
 
Great to see one of Fox's real journalists, as few as they may be, interview Trump and put some heat on him.
 
How many of the 25-points of the Natiomal Socialist platform do you disagree with?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Program

Since I agree with points 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 22, that means that I disagree (to some extent if not totally) with 17 points.

I have no doubt that you also agree to with those eight points, and also with points 8, 10, and 23. However that still leaves you below the 50% mark.

That makes you a fascist.
 
That makes you a fascist.

It also proves that you haven't actually read the list at your link.

Could you tell me what you find "fascist" in


1. We demand the unification of all Germans in the Greater Germany on the basis of the people's right to self-determination.

2. We demand equality of rights for the German people in respect to the other nations; abrogation of the peace treaties of Versailles and St. Germain.

5. Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

6. The right to determine matters concerning administration and law belongs only to the citizen. Therefore, we demand that every public office, of any sort whatsoever, whether in the Reich, the county or municipality, be filled only by citizens. We combat the corrupting parliamentary economy, office-holding only according to party inclinations without consideration of character or abilities.

9. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations.

12. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore, we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

15. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.

and

22. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army.

Can you honestly tell me that you do not agree with


8. Any further immigration of non-citizens is to be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans, who have immigrated to Germany since 2 August 1914, be forced immediately to leave the Reich.

10. The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally or physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all.

and

23. We demand legal opposition to known lies and their promulgation through the press. In order to enable the provision of a German press, we demand, that:

a. All writers and employees of the newspapers appearing in the German language be members of the race;
b. Non-German newspapers be required to have the express permission of the state to be published. They may not be printed in the German language;
c. Non-Germans are forbidden by law any financial interest in German publications or any influence on them and as punishment for violations the closing of such a publication as well as the immediate expulsion from the Reich of the non-German concerned. Publications which are counter to the general good are to be forbidden. We demand legal prosecution of artistic and literary forms which exert a destructive influence on our national life and the closure of organizations opposing the above made demands.

BTW, since it appears that you agree with more of the 25 points than I do, wouldn't that mean that you are MORE of a fascist than I am?

It's the fascist (socialist) platform.

Gosh, so if the Fascists had said "It's wrong to beat puppies to death." then if anyone thinks that it is wrong to beat puppies to death that would make them a Fascist.

Go on - pull the other one.

PS - Please indicate exactly why you think (and, for this post I'll only pick one point - just to avoid confusing you) that believing that

Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in Germany only as a guest and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

makes one a Fascist?

Please also indicate exactly how believing that

Whoever has no citizenship is to be able to live in the United States of America only as a guest and must be under the authority of legislation for foreigners.

does NOT make one a Fascist.

PPS - Do you know the meaning of "non-responsive reply" (which is what your post was)?

Interesting that you brought that up.

My apologies. I didn't realize that you thought that anyone who OPPOSED beating puppies to death was a Fascist.

Thank you for clearing that point up.

BTW, your post most clearly demonstrates that you DO know the meaning of non-responsive reply".

Now, to restate
