Study Finds Fake News Swayed Voters

[jem]

its all kabuki - they don't have to vote for tax cuts so they didn't. you don't really think the guys you work for are different then the guys the republicans work for do you?

the republican donors are pretty much they same as the bankers and silicon valley. Most of them all made their money with leveraged wall street deals. So they are told to buy their favorite politicians and push for their favorite parts of the crony agenda. Left or right in Congress its almost all the same screw the tax payer for the cronies crap.

That is how we got Obamacare instead of single payer and why obamacare is still there.
It was all kabuki down to bringing McCain back in for the thumbs down and Schummer told the others to quiet down and not clap.

its pre arranged garbage kabuki with Schumer and McConnell on the same team.

For some reason the cronies decided it was not time for DACA.
So Schummer had the weekend of an irrational shutdown.
He was too smart to do something so worthless.

It was just more kabuki to screw your base... just like Obamacare instead of single payer.

So Dems love those tax cuts which is why they voted against it and never tried to pass anything similar on their own? Why are you blaming Dems for standard Republican policies? And Dems didn't reject any DACA programs, they stuck a deal with Congressional Repubs which was rejected by Trump, do you want a source?

Bullshit. Not that we need to see it in a report anyway, because it's common sense which leftists like you lack. Especially when it comes to hiding leftist failures./

I quoted the REPUBLICAN report you dumb Con.

"The Defense Department has consistently said it couldn’t have gotten to Benghazi in time to save Americans. The panel says, however, DOD should have tried because it didn’t know at that moment when the final wave of attacks would end. One staffer said that had the attack lasted just an hour or two longer, the Defense Department might have been able to respond.

Oh wow, the panel said they should have tried, maybe they should join the military and give orders, really worked out well in Niger.

And 'one staffer' said? LOL, who gives a shit what some pencil pusher said, did he even serve?

The military, the committee staffer said, didn’t deploy until after the Libyans had stepped in to save and evacuate Americans to Tripoli, which happened sometime around 6 a.m. Libya time, the panel says. And even then, the military went to Tripoli, never Benghazi."

You can read that many other Obama/Clinton Benghazi failures here:

I quoted the same report you moron, you just read the parts that suit your narrative and ignore everything else - just like you ignored the Niger report,. You think I didn't notice how you quietly let it go? I know how your little Con brain works.

As for Trump and the index fund meme, even leftist Politifact disagrees. Not to mention that the comparison is idiotic on its face. He could have had even more if he put it all in Microsoft. Shoulda coulda woulda. Regardless, Trump made billions whether you acknowledge it or not.And the fact that it frosts your ass is icing on the cake.

I didn't post a meme like some cultist idiot, I posted an analysis by an actual financial magazine. And even your link shows that he would have done better (and wouldn't have to run scams like Trump U) if he had simply indexed his inherited wealth. Nice way to bust your own messiah.

its pre arranged garbage kabuki.

Obama raised taxes on the 1%, he then used that money to expand Medicaid and subsidize premiums for the middle class, to pretend both parties are the same is a disingenuous game Republicans play when they are betrayed by the elites.

you don't really think that when you are running about a trillion dollar deficit per year... tax programs and spending programs are really connected to each other do you? Oh if you spend more money on the military you have to spend more on social programs. Who the hell made that a rule? its just kabuki bullshit.

They spend what the cronies wish to spend and throw in some pork and social programs and they they tax to control.

The trillion dollar deficit was due to an economic crash, it wasn't structural - the structural deficit came from Bush's tax cuts and Medicare Part D. Democrats unlike Republicans do not get spend money on a credit card, they have to pay for it and they paid for ACA with targeted tax hikes on the rich and corporations, there is nothing wrong with paying for what you want to spend on. Democrats have historically spent taxpayer money on taxpayers unlike Republicans who spend on 'military' which is nothing but a giveaway to defense lobbyists and their corporate benefactors. Look at the condition red states are in, other than suburban pockets, everyone is suffering and overworked but Republicans with their mastery over marketing techniques and culture wars manage to escape the blame.

Oh wow, the panel said they should have tried

Yeah, you un-American piece of shit, that's what I've been trying to get through your thick skull. They absolutely should have tried instead of leaving Americans hanging out to die. But that's OK by you because it was done by Obama and Hillary.

And even your link shows that he would have done better

No liar. Here's what my link really said. And regardless of where the claim came from, leftist Politifact rated it as false.

Our ruling

Occupy Democrats shared an image that said if Trump had taken the money he got from his father and simply put it in a fund that tracked the S&P 500, he’d have $8 billion today. While it's true that Trump got a leg up from his father on the order of many tens of millions of dollars, this specific claim suffers from a key flaw.

The only way to hit the $8 billion mark is to start with $200 million in 1982, and it's wrong to say that was Trump's father's money. While the father's business put Trump on the path to have $200 million in 1982, Trump himself had been running the company for eight years.

We rate this claim False.

Nobody said the military shouldn't have tried, Obama admin days before the attack gave them orders to send the military there, the fact that they didn't is on them, not on Obama or Hillary which is the lie you keep peddling.

As for you pretending to be some patriot, your messiah killed the four men who went to Niger because he wanted to play CIC in front of his MarLaGo guests, that makes you a traitor for supporting that piece of shit.

I don't give a fuck what your link said, I wasn't quoting the source that's being fact checked in the link, I quoted an entirely different article. And your highlighted point makes no difference, he was running his daddy's company, he didn't build anything on his own, in fact he destroyed the business twice and then went on to run little scams - scams you dare not even mention.

You think I didn't notice how you never mentioned the Trump U scam just like how you managed to completely ignore the four Americans massacred because of your retard's childish actions? Where is your outrage and lecture about 'trying'? Why was that mission ordered and why weren't they rescued even days after they were known to be lost in Niger? You only care about American lives as long as you get to blame Democrats for it, otherwise you couldn't give a shit about who lives or dies.

 

[piezoe]

he still made billions on top of that

Actually no one knows, except possibly Trump, if he has net of his six bankruptcies any profit at all. Most likely, he doesn't. Certainly the IRS doesn't know. They have only a pile of suspect returns. Certainly the public does not know. They have no returns at all! Perhaps, Robert Mueller knows. We do know, however, that in the 1990s, when he had personally guaranteed 80% of a billion dollars on top of four more billion owed to ~70 Banks, he was rescued in his darkest hour by laundering Russian Oligarch money. And ever since, up until he got himself elected President with the help of Russian Hackers, he had been heavily dependent on a stream of money from laundering and whatever he could rake off the top of new credit extended to him from Russian sources in a quid pro quo for helping them launder their ill gotten gains stolen from the Russian People. Trump is not a good business man; certainly U.S. Banks don't think so. It remains to be seen whether he is a competent thief. If he dies without ever having spent a night in jail, he may claim that he is at least more competent than Madoff. It might be the only truthful claim to ever escape his lips. Poor Bernie!

Bullshit. The Obama regime failed. Since you keep bringing up "the REPUBLICAN report" here are screen shots from the final, official version. You should have checked it out instead of bluffing and spewing leftist talking points.

Here's Admiral Leidig's relevant testimony. During the attacks he was Deputy Commander for Military Operations, AFRICOM.

And here's a screenshot from the summary of conclusions, which is consistent with Leidig's testimony.

As for you pretending to be some patriot, your messiah killed the four men who went to Niger because he wanted to play CIC in front of his MarLaGo guests, that makes you a traitor for supporting that piece of shit.

Says the demented hypocrite who's almost as obsessed with criticizing others for "whataboutism" as he is with posting about pedophilia.

If you want to play whataboutism, a much better example is another demrat failure -- Mogadishu. Where the Clinton administration denied the military's request for armored vehicles because they didn't like the "optics" and 19 Americans died. After which Randy Shughart's father refused Clinton's outstretched hand at his son's posthumous Medal of Honor ceremony and rightfully told him, "you are not fit to be president."

First you lied about the conclusion at "my link" (which is leftist Politifact) and now you claim you "don't give a fuck" what it said, but that's only because it contradicts your phony narrative. Whether you like it or not, leftist Politifact says the index fund claim is false. It doesn't matter who made it or who they were fact checking.

You seem to think that your lies and deflections change reality. They don't. And the reality is, this morning Trump's still a self-made milti-billionaire with a highly successful empire of roughly 500 businesses. While you're still a hateful, bigoted un-American loser. Who's so owned by Trump that you're consumed with posting lies about him all day, every day.

Actually no one knows, except possibly Trump...

Actually, Forbes was confident enough to put it at $3.1 billion last month.
