Jumbo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I forgot which republican sen/rep it was (from kentucky i think) this a.m who's in coal country in a red state and an area that went deep for trump, and he was stating his inability to support trumpcare and some of the budget cuts and that he has growing company among other r's from deep tump zones on both these angles. A couple of these congressional r's were actually wondering aloud if trump was even really aware of most of the provisions in what mulvaney and price have actually crafted, questioning if don really even knows even all the basics of the material---since so many thing go against what he campaigned on and works against these people. When he was doing his typical lying in his morning presser re: trumpcare, this time about "swinging all those no votes to yes" (referring to the r's he met with---none of whom were among the 22 identified by cnn/others as on record in opposing it so far) , he also kept doing his mindless "this will be the best plan ever; we'll have unimaginably creative and wonderful solutions" etc etc......just pure drivel...he doesn't even care enough (or is incapable) to even craft intelligent sentences at adult reading levels when communicating to "his people" (which is the only audience he's talking to).

Jumbo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 kinda interesting (no big) http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2017/03/independent-journal-review-joe-perticone-reporter-resigns-236147 Reporter quits news site over Obama conspiracy story Quote The congressional reporter for Independent Journal Review, the conservative website whose profile has risen during the Trump administration, quit on Thursday over disagreements with the website's direction, people familiar with the situation told POLITICO. Joe Perticone felt as though his credibility as a congressional reporter was damaged by the actions of other writers on the millennial-focused viral news site, people familiar with the situation said. Perticone removed reference to IJR from his Twitter profile on Thursday afternoon. The last straw, they said, was a post published earlier on Thursday connecting former President Barack Obama's visit to Hawaii with a Hawaiian federal judge's ruling against President Donald Trump's revised travel ban. The since-retracted post meticulously pointed out all the possible connections between Obama's visit and the judge, including that they attended Harvard at the same time, that Obama appointed the judge, and that a restaurant Obama ate at during his trip was close to the federal courthouse. "This is not to allege the former president met with Judge Derrick Watson, but merely to point out the timing and the opportunity was there ahead of a controversial court ruling," the story states. The theory of Obama having a connection to the federal judge's ruling was also promoted on sites with a conspiracy theory bent including InfoWars and Gateway Pundit. Shortly after the story was posted, it received an editor's note that said: "This story has been updated to remove unnecessary speculation about the timing of the visit. We apologize for any undue conclusions that might have been drawn from the report." By late afternoon, the story was pulled from the website. “IJR published an article that does not meet our editorial standards or represent IJR's vision or values. We have retracted the story, and we deeply regret the error," the page reads instead . The author of the post, Kyle Becker, wrote an email to the staff of IJR apologizing for the post, saying he should have "shown restraint by not publishing the story in the first place, regardless of how interesting I thought it was personally or potentially of interest for the audience to debate," Becker wrote. (Business Insider's Oliver Darcy first posted the content of the email on Twitter). "I should have been more responsible, and will exert utmost efforts to adhere to the highest journalistic standards I can, while taking into account audience readership pressures. It was unwarranted to fuel baseless speculation, and there are no excuses," Becker continued. Becker also apologized for "letting the company down" when there's "a lot of national attention to us." IJR's White House correspondent, Erin McPike, was handpicked by the State Department to be the sole reporter traveling with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on his trip to Asia. Much of the rest of the normally staid press corps expressed anger at Wednesday's State Department briefing. "Joe's a fantastic reporter with great instincts for covering the Hill. He'll be an asset wherever he goes,” IJR founder Alex Skatell said in a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 ...and dumpster fire immediately whines about his question from the german reporter, looking at his people in the room and sarcastically asking "how's that for a friendly reporter" (the q was very normal but one part inc. the Obama tweet as to be expected) and then gives a semi-literate word-mush answer to the isolationist part of the q but ignored the rest however now he's just further sinking himself way down in another attempt to answer it...this will be fun later in review....
