Trump lashes out at 'slimeball reporter' amid furor over alleged war dead remarks
The Hill ^ | Sept 5, 2020 | Tal Axelrod

President Trump on Saturday lashed out at the journalist behind this week's explosive report that claimed he had disparaged slain American soldiers buried in France, calling the reporter a "slimeball."

Trump suggested in a pair of tweets that the author of the report, The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, may have been working with "disgruntled people" intent on seeing him lose reelection. He compared the magazine story to the controversial dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele in 2016, which alleged that Russia had compromising material on Trump.

Recommend you use real such as sources have said VP Biden groped a Secret Service girlfriend’s breast and the agent had to be restrained from reacting to Biden, the Secret Service has yet to deny the report and only states all records from that time period have been destroyed.

There is a FR posting about this, Judicial Watch is investigating.

Third day for this BS story. The longer it’s out there the more people believe it. It will continue anyway so Trump should sue The Atlantic.

Surprising that the army of fact checkers did not discredit this story. Well no surprising- this should discredit these so-called fact checkers.

It also provides the Trump campaign an opportunity to show what he has done for veterans and for the military.

The Atlantic is going down anyway; it’s a liberal supported rag sheet.

Bingo! I disliked Bush for that reason; mealy-mouthed whiner.

The Atlantic is now owned (in the majority) by the foundation set up by the widow of Steve Jobs. Through her foundation she has given 1.6 million to Biden similar to the 2 million she (they) gave Hillary.

She has announced that she plans to spend the whole inheritance (the bulk of it anyway) for social activism, not for future heirs beyod he immediate children.

Hi SD,
Under Activism in Wiki for Lauren Powell Jobs it says:

Activism[edit]
In 2004, Powell Jobs founded the Emerson Collective, a private company structured as a Limited Liability Company,[21] that supports social entrepreneurs and organizations working in education and immigration reform, social justice, media and journalism and conservation through partnerships, grants and investments.[4][22] Through Emerson, Powell Jobs owns The Atlantic.[23]

In the 2016 Presidential elections, Powell Jobs donated $2m to Hillary Clinton and raised a further $4m for her.[24][25]

In 2017, she backed the founding of the political organization ACRONYM,[26] which raised ethical questions for Powell Jobs for its creation of Courier Newsroom.[27]

In the 2020 primaries, Powell Jobs donated to the Klobuchar, Biden, Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Michael Bennet primary campaigns for the Democrat nomination.[28] She then went on to donate over $500,000 to the Biden presidential campaign.[29]

She had a three hour dinner with Ben Afflec recently so she travels in those circles.

Wishful thinking, but No, absolutely wrong! Its not going down; they are not going anywhere. They have unlimited funds from their billionaire backer(s), who are receiving massive tax relief through the 501c status of the leftist organization that owns the Atlantic. They do not need to make money, they do not even need advertisers or subscribers. The only way a succubus like this is going down is if they lose their tax exempt status and they lose a massive lawsuit, which in the current climate is not likely.

Hmm, I thought - oh well, maybe there’s enough liberals to keep it floating; as it’s said about fools and their money ...

And, to be clear, Trump was not admonishing McCain for putting on the uniform, it was for what McCain had done since.

Even with the undeniable knowledge that the media is merely the PR wing of the DNC, it’s still surprising that they don’t seem to understand that their credibility went out the window long ago.

And the President spending the last four years calling them out for the fake news that they are certainly seems to have been a master stroke.

I honestly don’t give a damn about what McCain did when in the military he became an absolute WAR MONGER and did everything AGAINST the people of this country had meetings with terrorists ect. EVERY damn election cycle touting being a POW using it to get re-elected playing on the sympathy of people and governing as a TRAITOR!! McCain was SCUM I despised him so much I often wished he had died in that POW camp!! He did not suffer enough from the cancer when he died!!!
