OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Poupou Escobar]

Nice try. Refute with links or its spin.

The link you provided is spin. And now you want a link refuting it? Did you miss the point?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Huh? no comprende?

Just a question about the true benefit to business of rewarding formerly helpful politicians. I don't know the answer and I don't expect you to know, but it's an interesting (or not) thought exercise.

I think that in rewarding past behaviour, business shows there are future rewards for current behaviour.
But again in rewarding that past behaviour with desirable employment, there is still future benefit through greater access to government in order to influence policy.

We know these is deemed to be of value because lobbyists exist.

LOL you are. How is it spin ?

Well it's an opinion piece by the type of person who sees Trump as their enemy. How could it not be spin?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

But I suppose a link to an opposing opinion piece will satisfy you. Nobody who has chosen sides in the Trump war is writing credible articles about the man.

Reading your posts has helped me become a wiser individual.

Not everything that goes to “print” is an opinion piece. Indeed not everything that goes to print is fakes news.

POTUS has framed the definition of fake news. It’s just stuff that he doesn’t like.

Respected essay writer, journalist and author, Micheal Wolff, said in his book

Now-President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Donald Trump Jr., campaign manager Kellyanne Conway and first lady Melania Trump were all reportedly left dumbfounded and afraid on the night of the election in 2016, the book claims. Shortly after 8 on election night, it became clear that Trump had a real shot of becoming president. Wolff wrote that Don Jr. said his father "looked as if he had seen a ghost. Melania was in tears—and not of joy." Steve Bannon, who helped run the Trump campaign and helped Trump's team through the transition, said he saw Trump morph from "a disbelieving Trump and then into a horrified Trump."

It’s a simple and and unremarkable concept. He didn’t expect it to go this far. It was an exercise in brand building that morphed into a phenomenal victory. How is this concept hard for you to accept ?

Not necessarily. They can make your old school car go faster.

Respected by whom?

You'd have to be living under a rock to think journalism isn't a profession dominated by progressives. The chattering class par excellence.

He was, now he's a cauli.

What a shock. Pou goes after the credibility of the author.

There was a time when journalists reported the facts. I can't remember when, though. Too bad that social media has become the well that most sup from.
