Watch the no conscience media will march on like it was the truth. Their goal is to destroy the USA. Division of the citizenry is their goal! America against America is their hope. But I hope they’re thinking ahead. For if violence breaks out the owners and staff will be considered the heart of the enemy.

Because Buzzfeed is a crap troll site to begin with.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzFeed

Originally known for online quizzes, “listicles” and pop culture articles, the company has grown into a global media and technology company...

...In late 2011, Ben Smith of Politico was hired as editor-in-chief to expand the site into serious journalism, long-form journalism, and reportage.


Sorry crap on crap. Clickbait and viral fakenews (DNC talking point memos)

Watching Joy Racist Reid on msnbc now. They are going on and on about Trump planning a Trump Tower in Moscow. How horrible that a private developer would do some thinking about that when they were a private citizen.

Agreed.

The leftist media will continue on with their 60/60/24/7/365 deception as if nothing happened. This most recent humiliation will not deter them in the least.

Let’s face it if ButtFeed or any other outlet ran a story entitled: “Trump caught burying bodies in Rose Garden” the rest of the media will be all over it. If it’s negative about Trump, they run with it without even attempting to verify the story or vet the source.

When are the idiots in MSM going to refute the false story and tell everybody that it was phony?

The MSM does not care at all. They achieved their objective, which was to smear Trump. It was just a fill in moment. They have them all planned out and will parcel them out as long as Trump is president, and then beyond. That is, if they are not destroyed.

If Leopold was such a notorious serial plagerizer and pushing fake news then why on earth is he being printed and then reprinted by big anti trump media?

You answered your own question.

Do you seriously believe the big anti Trump media care about the truth?

Has Buttfart said that Trump opened that vortex that stole that missing passenger airliner yet?

Cable news is crap. No news. Misinformation. Disinformation. And the gullible public hand over $50-120 a month EVEN IF THEY DON’T WANT CNN, MSNBC, etc.

Starve the beast, cut the cord.

So the takeaway here is this “reporter” is in fact merely a fiction writer. Well, in today’s MSM, that’s about what you get.

Shear insanity. Whenever the context is “Trump”, anything related to Russia has a tone of “illegal!”. Except it’s not.

They never stopped to think...why would he tell Cohen to lie when there’s nothing illegal about developing buildings in Russia? Their starting point is that it is illegal, because “Russian’s”, so the notion that PDJT would have to tell Cohen to lie makes sense to them.

Which is why it was always an absurd claim. They must also think that PDJT really is that stupid, after all these years being surrounded by lawyers, that he’d put it in writing - which is what would have been required. It was obvious this was, at best, hearsay....but the mindless minions scream “but there’s documents!!”. Really? Have you seen them? Has ANYONE shown them? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Yet they got into a rabid frenzy over something from BUZZFEED. SMH. They’re all amateur propagandists, zero journalists.

PDJT should hammer them hard for “fake news” right now...over and over. They can’t defend against it.

I seem to remember Trump long ago about he doesn’t do -email. too easy to hack. He uses the phone and messengers. He is smart enough to know you don’t put anything in writing that is incriminating.

I remember a lawyer telling me once that anytime you write a letter, email , text etc start in your mind with...Dear Jury,

my question is why would mueller, who hates Trump, be the one to publish a denial? that is my concern. is it because it may suggest that mueller’s current star witness is a serial liar, weakening mueller’s “bombshell” report whenever he finally releases his novella on russian collusion sometime around Sept. 30, 2020.

I think it is due to the fact that we’ll now have somebody in the DOJ that won’t recuse them-self...they need to look like they’re being fair.

We develop “safety software”, which requires certification. If it can be shown, via audited information (emails), that you were either lazy, ignorant, or incompetent in developing such software - if somebody dies, you will be crucified in court.

Yes, it’s expensive to do but if you have emails alluding to “we’re not going to do it right because it’s too expensive” - you’re toast, yet I’ve seen them.

Thanks Kaslin.

This is the rest of the "Dumbshell" keyword -- it was either that, or "Scuzzfeed".
