Reporters: It's Time To Burn Donald Trump [Barf-o-matic]
The Concourse, deadspin.com ^ | Tuesday, October 11, 2016 | Ashley Feinberg

Despite what anyone may want to believe, the chances of Donald Trump moving into the White House in January are not trivial. He is still a candidate; he still has ardent supporters; and he still could be our next president. This means that, now more than ever, journalists with relevant information have a responsibility to stop wringing their hands and burn Donald Trump.

Currently, at least one potential cache of nightmarish Trump material is hiding in plain sight: Mark Burnett's video archives at The Apprentice. There are significant barriers to any of it becoming public. But there is another potential source of Trump tapes: All the dozens or hundreds of journalists who have interviewed him, often off the record, over the past 30 years.

As a rule, journalists don't burn sources because of practical considerations (doing so, they worry, would render promises of protection to other sources null), because decent people consider promises of confidentiality generally binding, and because these promises can in some circumstances be legally binding when a written or verbal contract is involved. But almost every rule -- even the very nearly sacrosanct -- has its exceptions. For reporters today, that exception is Donald J. Trump.

"I sure hope we don’t lose the United States of America because Trump likes beautiful women."

..... Yup ..... Beginning to look that way. It is strange that this once free nation might be brought down without even a struggle ..... But I have to admit ... Conservatives were way too complacent the past few decades thinking they were actually in the majority and that the Constitution and system of checks and balances in the constitution would protect our Democratic Republic.

..... In the mean time the Marxist Socialists took over the entire media and education systems .... That alone allowed the Marxist propagandists to control the narratives and gave them the prime opportunity to indoctrinate almost all of our children for generations.

.... Enter the "One" who came to fundamentally change America ..... He fulfilled his promise.

..... All because the Republicans .... The so called Guardians of the Constitution ..... failed at the most basic of levels seeking popularity instead of defending their own country on the home front. They never could understand the simple concept of Teamwork. They all became politicians instead of Leaders which we so dearly needed during these desperate times. I put the blame of them.

“if not and they are unfounded made up she said he says, nothing to worry about”

You must be joking. The press isn’t going to worry about whether the accusations against Trump are true or not, especially if it’s a few days before the election. They’re already accusing him of having talked about “sexual assault” when he discussed women who “let” stars do what they want to them. You don’t think they’ll do everything they can to brand him a rapist when the opportunities arise, regardless of the “evidence”? If he’s exonerated in Dec., it’s not going to matter for the election.

Putin just has one shot one every now and then.

Works wonders at keeping them focused and working on the advancement and interests of the Russian people.

“..... In the mean time the Marxist Socialists took over the entire media and education systems .... That alone allowed the Marxist propagandists to control the narratives and gave them the prime opportunity to indoctrinate almost all of our children for generations.”

Yes, and if anyone reads the writings of Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, it becomes clear that this has been the plan of the far-left since at least the 1940s. He called for a “long march through the institutions” (i.e. a gradual takeover of the institutions that influence opinions and who holds hegemony in society) instead of a Soviet style violent revolution. It’s not just the media and educational system either. They’ve also taken over our entertainment industry and increasingly religious institutions.

If your idea of “defeating Marxists” basically equates to embracing fascism, you are no more a friend to this republic than the Marxists are.

I agree with that in some ways. I’ve never quite come down on which I prefer because both have their advantages.

Acting properly socially is very important, so I am quite uncomfortable with separating the sexes in total. They need to be able to interact in an improving manner as they go through puberty.

I might favor a mixed school with segregated classes more.

Guys like to cut up to get attention, and girls want to study for the most part.

That might work out best.

Thanks for the mention.

I do like a very strong adult presence for kids during this age, but they have to be taught to think and act independently too, so the supervision needs to recede at at some point. Juniors and seniors in high school are generally accorded some increased responsibilities and decision making, so it probably works out.

You don't know what you're saying.

Not going to fight with you because of our past failures to communicate.

I think even independents are on to the press bs and deep desire to do Trump in.

Don't worry I am sure after this election is over Howie Kurtz will still be telling us on Fox that there is no media bias.

Get your cable hooked up. Howie talks about media bias all the time. He’s just not going to be as obsessively one-note about it as somebody writing anonymously on the Internet.

Howie Kurtz is a media apologist and idiot. No wonder you like him.

“There are significant barriers to any of it becoming public.”

I seem to recall Jack Ryan’s divorce records becoming unsealed and leaking to the press to force him to leave an Illinois Senate race which was then won by BHO.

There is NOTHING keeping these videos from public view. Obama/Lynch could simply order that they be released. Not legal? Ha! When has “the law” stopped Obama or Hillary from doing anything? The FBI wouldn’t even stop her despite having mountains of evidence. The FBI chose to DESTROY that evidence.

Mark my words - these videos are already in the hands of the MSM and they are carefully viewing and editing them for maximum effect as I sit here and type this. This crap will be all over the evening news daily for the 2 weeks prior to the election.

I wish Trump would offer $$$ to anyone who has a tape of Hillary going off about blacks, Jews, Hispanics, etc., screaming the F-word as I’ve read, seems to be her favorite obscenity. The public needs to see her in meltdown mode. You KNOW there is at least one recording of it floating out there somewhere.
