Dear Washington Scum machine
WATCH the video you shamless liars
FLASHBACK, 2018: Joe Biden Brags At CFR Meeting About Withholding Aid To Ukraine To Force Firing Of Prosecutor
Just because Biden is now a political opponent does not make him immune from investigation for possible wrong doing while VP. The Democrat party has reckless lied to the US People during this whole impeachment scam. The President has both a legal and a moral obligation to have this investigated
The article used the term “ Trumps Henchmen “ in the 2nd or 3rd sentence. I stoppe dthere as would any other sane /not braindea / thinking individual.
The DEEP STATE needs to understand those of us who believe in first and second amendment. None of us ever dies saying we had too many weapons. If we ever have to use them in defense of liberty that is what they should focus on or they might find out like the church shooter that you don’t mess with Texas!
or God EITHER for that matter
LEX
The difference between a news report and an article for the opinion column is evident in the first paragraph: “a vulnerable ally under assault,” “henchmen,” “extorted,” etc. This is clearly a hit piece masquerading as actual news.
Sorry, it was “”His henchmen”..
I'm not even willing to pay for MY subscription. (Maybe that's why I don't have one.)
But I did recomment going to the WPOS source for further information because even without buying a subscription, there are way more words available to read there than the mere 300 that are the allowed limit for posting excerpts on FR.
Good question. Here is the answer in a rather lengthy form that I have posted before on FR.
First of all, they are NOT "the press." They are corporate media organizations (CMOs).
The press in the Constitutional sense is a device that can be used by people to publish their thoughts and opinions.
Every American, including those who run or work for CMOs, has a right to freely use a press to disseminate his or her views on any subject at any time.
But the reporters at NPR, NYT, Washington POS, CNN, MSNBC and all the other networks (including Fox News) do NOT have any constitutional right to have access and be heard at White House "Press" conferences.
They don't have that right, because neither I nor anybody else who posts opinions in print, by broadcast or online has that right, even though we use the press to publish our opinions, as I do regularly on Free Republic. (After all, the Internet is a means of publishing thoughts and opinions and therefore is a "press" in the Constitutional sense.)
And another "right" that these CMOs definitely DO NOT have, is the right not to be insulted by the President, who did not surrender his own First Amendment right to free speech when took the oath of office.
Being invited to participate in a White House "press" conference is therefore a privilege that can be extended or withdrawn purely at the discretion of the White House (or Congress, or the Judiciary in their own venues).
I so wish that at Trump's next "press conference," he will state this reality once and for all. And then I hope he will take a question from Jim Acosta, after prefacing it with the following statement:
"I'm going now to take a question now from Jim Acosta purely as a courtesy, albeit an undeserved one, because this is going to be his last White House 'press conference' during my administration. Additionally, I am revoking the press credentials of CNN,the racist New York Times, and a number of other Corporate Media Organizations who will soon be notified of their change in status. OK Jim, what's your question?"
Then I hope that in the future the White House will issue "Media Passes" to other respectable press users - bloggers, authors, YouTubers, etc. who will be invited to future Media Conferences, provided that they show courtesy, intelligence and respect.
And as for the CMOs, they can watch the President's Media Conferences on C-SPAN and then write whatever the hell they want to about them.
The President has both a legal and a moral obligation to have this investigated
zaklee!
You know, I have yet to read or hear a comprehensive explanation that makes sense for the Deep State's interest in Ukraine.
Ukraine is NOT an "ally" of the United States, not in any meaningful sense. They have nothing of value to offer us, and what we can offer them besides Drag Queen Story Hour and the United Colors of Benneton is not at all obvious - and to give them what they want risks war with Russia, which cannot possibly benefit us in any manner whatsoever.
There's more to this than meets the eye - much more.
Any ideas?
Good answer.
At the time of our Constitution, there were only two ways to communicate.
You either said it, or you wrote it.
Thus the language said “freedom of speech and of the (printing) press”.
Say what you want, and print what you want.
It never was meant to apply to an elite group of people.
Back then they were thinking about things like
Ben Franklin’s “Poor Richard’s Almanac”.
We’ve heard these lies before. Nice try, WaPOS.
"his henchmen extorted Ukraine into carrying out his corrupt designs."...
but it is hard to distinguish these days.
Sure. Where’s the crime? Democrats can’t name ONE.
A better question is why does anyone INSIDE the Beltway or in Manhattan care about aid to the Ukraine?
There are very few people who care about it, not all of them are Americans, and I want to know who they are and what their deal is.
So far as I can tell nobody cares about Ukraine or aid to Ukraine except for the people pretending to care if it might result in Trump’s removal from office. That’s the ONLY reason the Slimes and Compost published this story.
Opinion piece by Opinion writer.
Opinions are like you know what, everyone has one.
I agree. Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University, told the House Judiciary Committee that President Washington's powdered hair would catch on fire if you told him the US Congress could impeach presidents over conversations they had with foreign leaders.
Nope.
Ever since Hillary and Obama sent Victoria Nuland over there to overthrow the government, there's been an agenda.
I agree that they are USING it to get Trump, but the REASON they want to get him is (in part) because he's disrupting whatever they were doing over there, and they don't like it.
