Do you remember when President Biden banned Fox News and OANN from the White House for lying about his election?

[goaded]

Of course you don't, because it didn't happen (the banning, not the lying; Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits proved that).

So, today: Donald Trump says he is banning CNN and Politico from White House

For telling the truth about him.

I remember when I was still in high school, Trump banned Jim Acousta from the White House. That went over like a lead balloon and I'm sure this will. Biden never banned anyone. He called them a "stupid son of a bitch," never called on them for a question but never banned them. Although, when he was President Obama's VP, there was spying of journalists and that is just as bad, if not worse.

Natalie Harp needs to change his diaper and put a pacifier in his mouth. Maybe he'll stop throwing tantrums then.

This is sooooo embarrassing for the USA.

In October 2009, the Obama administration attempted to exclude a Fox News journalist from a single round-robin interview pool with a Treasury Department official. However, the other major news networks (including CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC) protested in solidarity, refusing to conduct their interviews unless Fox News was included. The administration relented, and Fox News was reinstated hours later.

Hours.

[Just_Ken]

Still did it regardless. So yes I do remember when Obama did that.

[goaded]

Funnily enough, that wasn't the question. Also, Fox News since had to pay over $750 MILLION for lying about 2020. CNN and Politico aren't lying. Trump just doesn't like the truth.

[Just_Ken]

President Biden was part of the Obama administration as I recall.

The BBC may have to 1 Billion over 2020 for their lies.
CNN has also paid for lies

[goaded]

The BBC didn't lie. And Jack Smith testified under oath that his team had evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of Trump's guilt in both federal cases, and there's been absolutely no hint of the perjury or defamation proceedings against him that you'd expect from an innocent party.

[Just_Ken]

The BBC got caught making fake news.
BBC Chairman Samir Shah BBC News and former Director General Tim Davie publicly apologized, calling it a "staggering breach of journalistic ethics" and an "error of judgment". The scandal led to the high-profile resignations of top BBC executives.

Funny, I can't find that quote anywhere. Where did you see it?

Trump certainly did commit multiple crimes against the American people including gathering the mob that attacked the capitol based on his lies.* That he once mentioned the word "peacefully" doesn't absolve him of that.

Nothing like the slander by Fox of Dominion (over $750 million settlement, iirc), or the lies about Saddam Hussein back in the early years of the millennium that led to a war that caused the deaths of more than 200,000 Iraqi civilians and more than 4,500 U. S. troops, the wounding of more than 30,000 U. S. military personnel, and the cost of more than $2.8 trillion.

Now Fox knows how to lie.

* "The reason was that they'd been told the election had been stolen for months and they'd been told they'd have to "fight like hell" or they won't "have a country any more".

"The Defendant widely disseminated his false claims of election fraud for months, despite the fact that he knew, and in many cases had been informed directly, that they were not true. The Defendant’s knowingly false statements were integral to his criminal plans to defeat the federal government function, obstruct the certification, and interfere with others’ right to vote and have their votes counted. He made these knowingly false claims throughout the post-election time period, including those below that he made immediately before the attack on the Capitol"

I recall that the US Presidency had respect around the world and not some weird avoidance and disrespect now.

Did you read that "Send in the Clowns" was played just before Trump's arrival at the signing of the Greenland deal (which was reportedly just the existing 1951 deal with a couple of extra words about China and Russia)?

"Two separate live streams of the event both showed that Collins' song did play while Rubio entered the signing ceremony with Greenland and Denmark's Ministers of Foreign Affairs. All three men were in frame while parts of the song that specifically mentioned clowns played."

It could be an amazingly appropriate coincidence, or someone has a wicked sense of humour. Totally worth losing your job for! (It does stop a minute or so before Trump's arrival.)

The USA is turning into a fascist country. I think there is more freedom in North Korea than under King Trump. The man needs to be impeached.

[goaded]

Impeachment is also a prerequisite for ending the Iran war and re-opening the Strait of Hormuz.

He could shit on the flag, murder a ww2 veteran and sodomize a kid in person at his rally and hed not lose supporters.

[Amy10223]

Those were the good old days, when we had a president who exposed that kind of lying and hypocrisy. Not like the mess we’re in today for sure.

[exitseven]

President Biden really did not know that he stole the election.

[goaded]

Another thing that never happened.

[msc545]

No, that never happened.

[Gasman2]

@msc545, That's because they never did

[goaded]

@Gasman2 @msc545 Of course it didn't happen (the banning, not the lying; Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits proved that).

Everyday there's another incursion into constitutional rights. I don't have the words to express how sick I am of this man and his behavior.
