Typical fake news tactic.

  1. Print an outrageously fake story.
  2. All other news organizations pick it up and reprint it.
  3. Story is debunked.
  4. Original publisher prints a retraction.
  5. The other 100 news outlets that reprinted it say nothing since it wasn't their story.

They have this down to a science.

Fuck off with your "the boomers" bullshit! I'm a baby boomer and I'll beat you in the ring, on the mat, in a hockey rink, or on skis. I bench press more than you do, I leg press more than you do, and I'll disarm you no matter what weapon you have. DJT is a baby boomer.

A "boomer" is a nuclear submarine, the most effective part of our nuclear triad. With no scheduled replacement, substantially reducing our deterrent value in M.A.D.

Don't buy into the evil leftist scum ideology that everyone in ANY group is somehow a homogeneous block. Everyone born in an 18 year period is identical in ANY respect just because of one identifying feature? That's the original definition of "identity politics" and you're smart enough to know that's EVIL.

Stop propagating evil. If you want to talk about your Dad, talk about your Dad. Don't assume it pertains to anyone but your Dad.

I work with these type of idiots, you can show em the proof and they still dont care and just spout the bullshit because they are waterhead. TDS is something special.

Especially when you get to Stage 4. That's the point of no return.

TDS is like far leftism and hardcore atheism. It's a religion where the infected mind invested so heavily into some unsustainable crap that they rather sink with it than admit they're wrong. (Lighter version of it has some thin-skinned people realized they've been conned by con man but refuse to admit they're wrong out-right, and will be triggered every time you bring a truth-bomb.)

Come election time, the MSM-led fools will believe that President Trump is beholden to the Chinese bank, just like they will continue to believe that President Trump recommended that people could disinfect themselves of the Wuhan virus by injecting themselves with Lysol and bleach,..., all the way back to the first Big Lie: that the President said that white supremacists and KKK-types were "good people".

I can't keep track of all the thousands of lies and half-truths since DJT came to high office.

That wasn't "the first big lie." Remember the elevator ride down when he challenged the taboo that you can't talk about enforcing immigration law. He had the audacity to be obviously right, that those willing to break immigration law are not the people we want here. That Mexico's best come here on business, write off the expenses of the trip as business expenses, and enjoy their time here before going back home because they want to. That those who come here illegally have already broken our laws and obviously don't respect the rule of law. That a higher percentage of these people are going to commit other crimes too.

And MSM spun that as "Trump says all Mexicans are racists."

I would consider that to be "the first big lie." And it's so obviously phony! Yet people still believe that. I know people that have said to my face "they don't care what he meant." "It doesn't matter that [they're] being unreasonable."

And then they try to conflate their emotions with wisdom. That's what people are going into debt to go to College to learn.

"The public", meaning low information financially illiterate people who fall for celebs and whatever crappy made in China branded junk they push.

I mean, without looking even at the article I had good confidence that like Trump's "6 bankruptcies" it'll be either fake or grossly inaccurate. What's wrong with Trump (or any real estate billionaire) borrowing money to finance their deals? Financially illeterate people doesn't know leverage, or how slow money grows if every investment is financed by your savings like the working class people..... and fall for cheap lines of "because Trump is broke" and "no banks wants to lend him".

Those people will continue to be sheeples living at best hand-to-mouth and worse up eyeballs of debt and blame the society and rich people even though they're rich enough to have latest iphone and society's so good and stable to them that they manage to eat so well till obese at min. wage.

Add to this an interesting fact I discovered: DJT turned his first million (yes he got it from his Dad) into a potential 26 million in income PER MONTH.

Present a business plan like that to any bank and they'll be tripping over themselves to not only make you the loan, but to give you more.

There are hardly any real human beings not paid to post in that sub and all of Reddit.

  1. Weeks, months later when you get in an argument on reddit some NPC will bring up the original story like it's a fact, and if you correct them you'll get buried. It doesn't matter that it's retracted, they feel like Trump is the kind of person who would do something like this, and that's all the proof they'll ever need.

That's exactly what we did on the leftist subs. We'd never allow any critical thinking on issues that could be disproven through facts.

Keep in mind, a lot of the updates are stealth. You can't even cite the fact it was amended or corrected. Other times, only right wing media cite the lies and truths. And we don't let those get referenced, at all.

Your meaning is not clear. Who did what on leftist subs? Who repressed critical thinking?

Who doesn't let "lies and truths" get referenced?

Leftists cannot allow any dissent. I'm way into that stuff. But now I'm using it as a weapon against them. They trust me. You can search my name online. Spent a long time in that world.

Figure I can put it to good use.

You're forgetting a step...it's common for the original report to be in news primetime, but the retraction to be done at low points like mid day.

Yep - "Buzzfeed is reporting that Orange Man Bad"

Fuck these seditious bastards.

Original publisher prints a retraction. that still quietly insinuates that Trump is a doodyhead

FTFY.

I mean look at that shit. "It's no consolation that the deal that we got totally wrong was only one of many deals we looked at" "We had sources inside Trump's orbit"

"If stupid Trump would just be as bad as we want him to be then we wouldn't have to lie about him! It's his fault he's not the awful person we say he is!"
