Could it be a false bump due to him having a disproportionate number of supporters who are open to getting poled?

BWAH!

ltr from Nadler to President Trump

sounds like DEMs plan to add Mueller's BS obstruction charges




From CTH:

Candidate Trump was framed for stealing a horse

President Trump was subsequently accused of trying too hard to avoid hanging for it.

Prosecutor Mueller eventually conceded that Trump didn’t steal the horse; however, by then the focus was on Trump’s efforts to avoid the hanging.

Eventually Mueller testified; it surfaced there was never a horse to begin with… Impeachment was stalled

Prosecutor Jerry Nadler is attempting to resurrect a legal theory that President Trump can still be hung for attempting to avoid the hanging, even if there was no horse theft.

==================================
I say screw Nadler, and the horse he didn't ride in on.

Happy MAGAday!

This is utterly astonishing. Trump keeps trolling the left. They fall for it every single time. Get egg on their face. Do they learn from that? Nope. He trolls them again. They fall for it again. They get egg on their face again.

He's been doing it to them continuously ever since he took office.

Wow.

How does that old saying go...Fool me once, same on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and it proves I'm a frickin' moron.

Newsweek Fires Reporter Who Wrote Inaccurate Story On Trump’s Thanksgiving Day Activities

by Eric A. Blair
November 30, 2019 0 Comments

On Thanksgiving, rather than just enjoying the day, the editors and reporters at the once-great magazine that is now a pathetic rag decided to go after Trump.

“How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing and more,” wrote reporter Jessica Kwong, who linked to an article she wrote that speculated about Trump’s activities for holiday.

“As with any other day of the year, Trump will probably be tweeting, or expressing his opinions in another way. On Thanksgiving Eve, Trump tweeted an image of his head on the body of Rocky Balboa, the fictional boxer portrayed by actor Sylvester Stallone in numerous movies,” Kwong wrote in her story.

Oops.

It turned out that when Kwong was writing her story — and long after her editors had published it — Trump was flying to Afghanistan to meet with troops and help serve them a Thanksgiving dinner.

Trump enjoyed the misfire.

“I thought Newsweek was out of business?” he wrote on Twitter.

It pretty much did. The Washington Post sold Newsweek in 2010 for a dollar to a stereo equipment mogul, and the “news” site went full Never Trump.

Now, Newsweek has fired Kwong.

“Newsweek investigated the failures that led to the publication of the inaccurate report that President Trump spent Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing rather than visiting troops in Afghanistan,” a Newsweek representative told the Washington Examiner. “The story has been corrected, and the journalist responsible has been terminated. We will continue to review our processes and, if required, take further action.”

Ouch.

The article was rewritten, with a note added at the end that read: “This story has been substantially updated and edited at 6:17 p.m. EST to reflect the president’s surprise trip to Afghanistan. Additional reporting by James Crowley.”

Before she was canned, Kwong addressed the update on social media tweeting, “Trump headed to Afghanistan to surprise U.S. troops on Thanksgiving. Deleting this tweet because it was written before knowing about the president’s surprise visit to Afghanistan — an honest mistake. Story has already been updated, as shown in the screenshot.”

Gotta’ say, she’s right. She was fired for writing a story her editors ordered up, driven by their deep hatred for Trump. She wrote it, they posted it. Maybe the editors who assigned the story and posted it should get the axe, too.

Regarding the Newsweek article, it is entirely possible that they simply reported what was known at the time--the travel to Afghanistan was a secret and they could not have known about it. Perhaps it would have been better to not have written anything until after the day was over and his complete activity was known, but no "news" agency is going to do that. One can, of course, make the accusation that the article was intended to shed a negative light on our President (an activity that is very common), but I'm not convinced it was in this case. Just a case of premature publication of incomplete knowledge.

It’s the fucking news supposedly. They can either pretend to be the news or they can pretend to be psychic. You can’t write news about future events and pretend it’s news. Fuck her and them.

You mean, as opposed to just making stuff up? I'll have to agree with pedropcola on this. You can't just have a bunch of pre-written garbage prepared for whatever you think is going to drive the most clicks as soon as it's considered a "breaking" story that can be live updated in real time. That isn't journalism, that's nonsense. Either report an event, or don't, but having a selection of preconceived nonsense ready to deploy for any situation is NOT what we have ever relied on these people for, and I contend that they're no longer performing their required role in society. It's not news if it's pre-written bullshit. It's propaganda.

I'm gonna go ahead and just leave these here:

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas:

“I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, ‘Oh, it’s gonna be the bigot in the pickup truck; it’s gonna be the Klansmen; it’s gonna be the rural sheriff,’” Thomas said

“But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern-day liberal,”

“They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you."


Thomas said the confirmation hearing was designed as an attempt to get rid of him.

“Do I have like stupid written on the back of my shirt? I mean come on. We know what this is all about,” Thomas said. “People should just tell the truth: ‘This is the wrong black guy; he has to be destroyed.’ Just say it. Then now we’re at least honest with each other.”

He added that “the idea was to get rid of me.”

“And then after I was there, it was to undermine me,”

This is what makes the Supreme Court a political animal as much as it is anything else. The process of confirmation is hyper political and judges such as Thomas and now Kavanaugh cannot simply put these types of attacks behind them. Nor should they necessarily. They certainly influence their opinions going forward.
