But he's just like those other nazis

That's taken out of context. I saw that show and he was ripping Elon Musk a new one about his nazi salute at a Trump rally.

Nice try.

Wasn't me

CNN did. All time high president approval rating from news outlet that truly hates him

All you little Brits Trump haters must be sobbing over these ratings

Really?

The Economist, 41% approval rate. Not 90%.

http://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker

Newsweek. Approval ratings at an all time low.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls-2101138

CNN, who you say that they poll Trump at 90% say it's 41%, in line with other serious news agencies. No mention anywhere of a 90% approval rating anywhere.

You really need to stop using X as a news source. Another fail, just like the Stephen Colbert pic. It's always a bummer when reality collides with your twisted view of the world.

Works on the same principle as putting a pound in a shopping trolley.

Small fee reminds the user to behave and you will get it back when leave the USA.

When you return your trolley....

Read the third key point.

150,000 criminals arrested, still millions more to capture to restore what Biden did

@Psamathe

Very odd sentiments gentleman. Very odd. From two articulate people, one of whom I know pretty well. I find it odd that you won't view a 10 minute piece by an accredited news organisation who are as good as any of the usual sources.
MSNBC News is a national news broadcaster with millions of viewers in the same way ITV posts YT videos. Would you watch ITV/BBC/Chanell 4 news on the television but not the same news clips on YT?! The clip above is not some cobbled piece from some random YT political commentator.
Woe to them who contradict your POV or present an alternative perspective through a video clip. They will find themselves facing a brick wall. There is hypocricy in that. I find this strange, myopic and arrogant.

'Ooooh' says the William McGonagall's 'oooo, that's not proper media, why should I bother my @rse? I'm too clever for Youtube, I would rather see it in writing or from a 'main stream source' !?
I think you should both hire a PA, he/she can take notes and give you a precis of the video content and then perhaps we could resume the conversation?

"thanks to our sponsors", "do subscribe"...
You don't get that on MSNBC news BTW Psamathe.

All the main stream media outlets on YT have subscribe and like and comment icons. No one is asking you to subscribe or like or comment from main stream media but still you both refuse to watch anything on YT bar the inane?

On YT, there is high quality political comment and analysis. You have to sift through the garbage but you will not get Forbes Breaking News in UK written media for example. Forbes Breaking News has live coverage and reams of detailed congress nominations, questioning, accountability hearings, senate hearings etc etc. Therein lies a window into the mechanics of US politics and Democracy most relevant to this thread and you hear very articulate language from Senators such as Ron Wyden above ^.. Padilla made a statement in congress following his arrest. He was excellent. It's all there.
The Forbes clips come with no commentary so it allows the viewer to make up their own minds. There was Kash Patel's Grilling, Hegseth, Noem, RFK jnr et al, all grilled by the senate.
The Daily Beast has some excellent political commentary too with very good contributors. All on YT.

But oh no, that's on YT. I refuse to watch YT. It's irrelevant to me. It won't give me another perspective, I have all the perspective I need. It's a type of a media source that is derelict, corrupt and commercialised...

I specially selected the following inane video for you both.

I don't have all day to read forums so I'm reading this in bed on a Sunday morning. If I put on youtube videos loud enough to hear over Mrs Celine's snoring it would wake her up!

Just for you I'll watch it now, and then tell you if it tells me anything I hadn't already gathered.

Yes, it just confirms what I was saying earlier - the MAGA base feels betrayed and this Epstein business will not go away. The writing is on the wall for Trump. I just hope that JD Vance isn't clever enough to turn the tide back again if there was any chance he would be VP.
Although, Trump the narcissist will probably try to hold on to power for as long as possible. This coupled with the fact there may be further charges against him without the immunity of being POTUS will motivate him - there will be a legal lynch mob driven by multiple forces. The longer he stays in power the better because I think the sh*t storm will simply grow.

I just wonder if his legal team are preparing for the end game and I just wonder if they might claim he isn't fit for trial.
I also wonder how the MAGA base views Trump's cabinet...

Perhaps this is not simply a learning adventure?

"Are you not entertained?"

 

[briantrumpet]

Nah, though I'm probably not the intended audience. (That said, I'm not sure who the intended audience is... it's not going to persuade MAGA, who revel in the cruelty.)

Though at least they didn't read out tweets.

 

[Pinno718]

@cookiemonster You have to feel for him. It's hard when a man realises that his icon is a convicted felon, paedophile, liar and incompetent fool and tries to cling on to the slippery rocks of bollox propaganda.

One hopes so, but they seem to be able to do mental contortions the moment they think it'll suit their mindset/goals. Honesty, logic, and consistency are not in their skillset.

It's flipping AlAc on it's head. It's just an ironical advert. The Lincoln Project is a Democrat leaning YT channel with some very good analysis with multiple contributors of note but I needn't bother singing it's praises, should I ?

The problem I find with UK main stream media/journalism is that most of it is a bit muted and often doesn't give you the back ground or context that you get n the US press.
