The OFFICIAL Trump/HRC/2016 General Election Thread...

Hang on... I have to finish hugging BHO first.

I am not a Breitbart fan. They've strayed far from Andrew Breitbart's values. And they've shilled for Trump the entire election season. But they pale in comparison to traditional media. Breitbart is small potatoes. The alphabet soup of media outlets has been shilling for Democrats for decades. And they will continue to drown out whatever Breitbart does.

I don't disagree...

Look, I hate to make this comparison, and I promise I'm not doing it to compare Trump to Hitler or the Nazis... but the most prominent example of this, in history, has been Goebbels and his proximity to the internal workings of the party. Literally a minister of propaganda.

Have there been other outlets with this sort of connection to the President, this high up in his cabinet/administration, that also controlled a "news" outlet?

Is it as nefarious as Goebbels? Unlikely. Is it still an unreliable propaganda outlet? Now, absolutely.

No, CNN/MSNBC/et al aren't any better... but now we have this on "our" side... that doesn't mean it's good.

There's a better, contemporary, example: Putin's Russia. There are somewhat-free press resources, but the laws restrict what they can say, and they are generally denied real access to important people.

But, there are state-friendly/-sponsored news outlets that get first dibbs on access and stories.

I seen Bannon/Brietbart in that vein. They'll get revenue and eyeballs because they are perceived to have access.

I wanted to make this comparison, as well.

Its one thing to grant amnesty in a city, locally, quite another to take advantage of programs intended for American citizens.

I too have a comforting word for immigrants:

Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval,...

Romans 13:3.

Somewhat surprising, that.

I guess some laws just don't get enforced....... depending on who you are.

So they want criminals and drug dealers and gang members to stick around? Good to know.

Why do you assume your on "our" side?You have been driving a wooden stake in "our " side for 6 months.When "your" Trump starts burning books in the streets,Let me know.

Why single out GPIA7R when he clearly put "our" in quotes.

Why not pick on me? I've been driving wooden stakes into both "sides" for years now. (I used quotes there as well).

Can be good, can be bad. Depends on what people do with their new found powers.

I'd reserve judgment. Whining about it isn't going to make it go away regardless, especially when there's nothing to really attack yet.

Wait, ATM, I took that a totally different way.

I think Nightrider (with or without KITT) is an HRC supporter. Didn't look at any other posts, but if not, that post doesn't really make any sense.

At least not to me.
