welshbairn Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Don't know what you can tell from Twitter, but if you look at the replies to Trump's tweets they're about 90% slagging him off. Not long ago it was the other way round. Even the trumpets are walking away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Quote US President Donald Trump's nominee has been sworn in to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Scott Pruitt, a fierce critic of the agency, was approved by the Republican-controlled Senate despite Democratic attempts to delay the confirmation. A bit like electing an MEP who is opposed to the idea of the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladies and gentlemen, we were attacked on Dec. 7, 1941, we were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, and we were attacked on Nov. 8, 2016. That most recent attack didn’t involve a horrible loss of lives, but it was devastating in its own way. Our entire intelligence community concluded that Russia hacked our election by deliberately breaking into Democratic National Committee computers and then drip-by-drip funneling embarrassing emails through WikiLeaks to undermine Clinton’s campaign. And what have we done about it? Other than a wrist slap against Moscow, we’ve moved on. That is not O.K." Whether you like the guy or not comparing someone you dislike who was voted in fairly to the deaths of countless lives is rather pathetic. The media has really lost the plot at this point, with over the top shit like this and the crap that's been happening with the Youtuber Pewdiepie, taking things deliberately out of context to discredit him just shows how far the media has fallen. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem a bit more reasonable than equating a foreign power sabotaging the democratic process to 'someone you dislike being voted in fairly'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 What I have taken from Trump's adventures is that the people supporting him seem more concerned with getting it right up his opponents. They don't care about creating a better world it is just about baiting liberals. His press conference in any normal world was embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill be happy to listen to any points regarding Russian Interference in the election when some actual proof surfaces, not really gonna believe the CIA when they said they are reasonably sure it happened. These are the same people who were also reasonably assured there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, look how that turned out. Words are pretty meaningless without evidence. I could go about telling people i can shit gold, but until i drop a gold nugget i wouldn't expect anyone to believe it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would have been surprised beforehand if they were told that Russia would interfere in the process.Given previous - the whole RT line of attack the West and Assange's obsessiveness in the same area, it should not be a shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've gone from criticising Friedman for saying the allegations are serious to criticising him for assuming that they're true.Which in the limited context of the extract you quoted is consistent In terms of the overall thrust of Friedman's article, that the likes of Mitch McConnell are looking the other way and not even acknowledging that there is anything to investigate you don't seem too far off.The difference is that you think the Russian security services are telling the truth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
