If it turns out that the thing with the Khans is the moment that finally brings down the piece of shit.  Man, the irony would be just incredible.  I doubt it tho, the trump people are fucking shameless. 

Trump is so predictable that I think the Clinton campaign put that family out there with the sole purpose of trolling him. Brilliant on their part as the Dems needed a serious distraction. Conway Twitty doesn't always work.

Excellent Family Guy reference.

Over the course of the election, Trump’s campaign has banned nearly two dozen news organizations from campaign events, including POLITICO, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, Univision and The Des Moines Register.  Now, Trump suggested that his campaign may take away press credentials from The New York Times.

 

Certainly no 1st amendment concerns here though.

How would that be a violation of the 1st Amendment ?

Unfortunately, I agree with Lou.  If someone just writes hack pieces against you, why even let them into the dance.  Especially when specific writers have agenda's against you.  I'm sure Hilary also has her list of blacklisted journalists.

That's not a list of journalists. It's a list of news organizations with large, worldwide readership.

And when you only send hacks to cover, your organization will get banned.  Should we say that Hilary is bad, because she won't do TV interviews, and when she does, it's only with predetermined softball questions? 

The sad thing is.  News organizations are supposed to report the news neutrally.  And the state of news organizations now, is that they are everything but neutral.

What hack pieces? Have they printed something untrue? Or is it just a case of a petty, vindictive, small-minded asshole acting like his true self? Everything he says is said into a tv camera anyway. What's the point of the bans?

It's still not a violation of the 1st Amendment

So why does Hillary refuse to do press conferences? Trump may be a loon, but at least he has the balls to answer questions from the media.

Trump - Why's everybody always pickin on me.  For a guy who just dishes it out he sure is a cry baby.

Lou?

Trump says Putin "will not go into Ukraine".

Kinda makes one long for the foreign policy savvy of Sarah Palin.

“The shameless statement of US presidential candidate Trump on possible recognition of Crimea as Russia is a diagnosis of a dangerous fringe politician,” Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov wrote on his Facebook page. “He is dangerous for Ukraine and equally for the USA. An outcast bowing down to Putin cannot be the guarantor of democratic freedoms in the US and the world.”

Well that went over well with them, lolz. This guy is so clueless

I never mentioned the 1st amendment. I was just noting that he didn't toss out a few bad journalists but banned their entire news organizations. And for fucks sake can anyone ever just once answer a question about Trump without the answer involving Hillary? Or vice versa?

We've been seeing that a lot lately, haven't we? I don't mind it much - it makes it obvious which candidate people are rooting for... or against.

Didn't Ukraine in true democratic freedoms, do a coup to oust the democratically elected pro-Russian leader?

I knew all the Trumpswingers would totally ignore what he said about the slain soldier's parents.

As you were.

This is what I responded to. If you can point out the question I'll be happy to answer it.

Yep but that's not really the point. It's yet another example of Trump blowing Putin for who knows what reason. Very odd to see that from the Republican nominee.

[nate]

The irony is that he slams Hillary for being corrupt but there is nobody in the world more corrupt than Putin.

Ok I guess I should have said respond instead of answer but that was more pointed at the entire forum and the uncontrollable urge to bring one into any response to a negative comment about the other. There's plenty to blast both for without the need to post a tit for every tat. I guess if I have a question for you it would be what does Hillary's press conference count have to do with Trump banning news orgs out of spite?

Trump apologists mostly employ a "look over there!" tactic

His supporters don't care. They think Russia will help us with ISIS.

Better than the US.  We just got involved in another war.  Yay.  We'll have plenty more Khan's to parade around with Hilary in office.
