It's becoming a thing. The FBI leaks information to the press, and then uses those press reports as justification for a FISA warrant. Using the same technique, the press gets information from an anonymous source that has no reason to be anonymous, then gets a "no comment" quote from the same...

Like so many in the media, you're trying to read his mind, and likewise you think you have successfully done so. In order to back down from something, you must first take a position or act on something, make a claim or assertion about something. And then in the face of opposition you withdraw...

From what? A public stance he never took? A decision he never made? Not doing something out of the ordinary? The flag gets positioned according to Flag Code. The next day people suggest he bring the flag back down until after the internment. He considers it for a while, then says, "OK. Yeah...

Remember when you could charge extra for things like air ride? Now we just give it away.

Trump... backs... down? From the article... "Trump doesn't like to back down from any fight. Yet he had no choice but to retreat when the leaders of millions of vets came knocking." The article is just another one of many where some yahoo with a press pass thinks he can read the mind of the...

Well, it kinda does.

The press will want him impeached for it

Happy Birthday :t3331:

Could be. I was just going by what he actually posted rather than trying to read into it something that he did not.

Uhm, Grizzly just did. His saying it is one hundred percent the sole reason I posted what I did above. Incorrect. Historically the flag is flown according to US Flag Code. That's why the Flag Code exists. Historically, exceptions have been made, but they are nevertheless exceptions, rather than...

At times it was, mostly it wasn't. The President can and has made exceptions to the Flag Code to fly out at half staff until the burial of a member of Congress, but is certainly under no obligation to do so. Being disinvited to the funeral may have had something to do with it. In any case, the...

Still not understanding the shameful part. Talk to me as you would a child, because I'm not getting it. What does the US Flag Code say about all this? Maybe if I knew that, I would better understand the shameful part.

Why is it shameful? If Trump praised the man who hated Trump do much that he disinvited Trump to his funeral, the press would scream hypocrisy, and if Trump said anything negative about McCain the press would say Trump is mean and evil and racist and misogynistic and xenophobic and orange. So...

US Flag Code states the US flag is to be flown at half staff on the day of the death of a member of Congress, plus one day. That's precisely how the flag was flown at the White House. To say the flags at the White House were not flown at half staff is literally fake news.

This is not fake news. This is real.

It might be, but I can see things behind the scenes, including IP and MAC addresses and from where they were when they registered and posted, and everything checks out.

Same with the Fact Checkers. Dems mostly fact check as true, whereas Trump never does, even when his statement is true. They create some new context where it's false or at least partially false. And if Trump makes an unambiguously true statement, they never fact check those. Funny how that works.

No, because they're all connected to other connections.

Speaking only for myself, and not in any way, shape or form as an EO Mod, Facebook is evil. When Facebook first went public I took a look at it, created an account, and immediately knew it was bad news. Already knowing how it was used in academia, it was clear to me what would happen with it...

Fox News really isn't the propaganda arm that it was when it was invented and when Roger Ailes was still there. They're still homers, still rooting for the (conservative) home team, the taking heads and commentary and opinion show hosts in particular, but they no longer play the propaganda game...
