(Though that's only one journalist, for a French broadcaster)
Joe - do you want to know what I was just told by a secret service mate of mine.
Obama - sure
Joe - apparently the next time there is an incident close to the President, they will no longer shout GET DOWN, they are going to shout DONALD DUCK
Well it made me laugh
Those 3 people, have a total combine following of 26.8k followers and it was retweeted 81 times. Now without following every single one of those re-tweets, do you really consider that as being covered by the "media"
That's up there with saying a message on the big screen at a West Ham game was covered by the media.
MrsGrey, that reminds me a little of being challenged on another popular thread to prove that Brexit will be a bad thing, ie. to prove a future event. ;hmm
Spicer was referring to a fact - something which can be proven to be true or false. "End of."
There's an important difference.
Hermione Granger: "I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!"
Xenophilius Lovegood: "Yes, you could. I am glad to see that you are opening your mind a little."
Not exactly the same, but it just reminded me.
OK still not sure how they are similar. (Maybe because I know that in the story where that conversation occurs, they are discussing whether or not a particular creature - it - exists. Which would still be a matter of fact.)
I think I'm missing your point. ;puzzled
;lol
Chosen OneDark LordAs long as there is no swearing in the title or link, it's not a problem, but it is better, as you have done, to give a warning as to content.
;ok
He's put the conflict back in the news and it seems the government is trying to test how far they can push it until Trump condemns (previously, US condemned all). The two-state solution already seemed distant but might be completely finished now.

Do they know this kind of statement is a deliberate lie, but don't care that he lies?
Do they not know it's a lie, but are happy in a state of wilful ignorance and can't be bothered to fact check. (ie , don't care)?
Do they actually believe it (when it is easy to look into and find there is no evidence to back it up)?
Are they not massively insulted that he thinks they are too stupid to work it out?

And the money has flowed the other way too, with the CE of one of the companies donating some $170,000 to help Trump get elected.

As a matter of fact there was voter fraud in Detroit with more votes for Hilary than voters ;hmm
I dont know if you understand the system here but the DMV will register "anyone" citizen or not to vote. Also you dont have to show id at the polling station. I think anyone with common sense can see the system is open to abuse whether it was abused who knows, it doesnt matter now & would be a waste of time and money to take it further.
Deliberate lie - wishful thinking about something that no one can prove either way. There are more important things to worry about
What it does highlight is the need tighter voting controls, unfortunatly those were considered racist and undemocratic - go figure
Well I think there was a massive sense of history being created with our first African American president and a lot of people wanted to witness that speech, unfortunately a lot of those people must have felt let down by what followed as they chose to move to a different path.
or
I make them right Mr Obama sure could make a good speech, I even thought about going. Speeches are one thing however and delivering is what matters, now lets get on with that.
I realise one person can't answer for everybody. But I'm interested to hear your view which is, if I understand you...
you aren't that bothered.
And you don't mind that the President makes a statement of fact with nothing to back it up. You feel that onus is on anyone who is doubts the validity of the statement to disprove it.
Throwing in some random other fact doesn't address the issue. And doesn't prove that his claim is valid.
Not so. There are ID requirements to register. If it didn't matter now, why is Trump banging on about it.
And if it IS being abused, then you should be spending time and money on fixing it.
It's not a less bad decision because other people would have done it too.
My view, his view, your view, ?
The fact that he thinks differently to me on this point does not disqualify him from representing me better than Clinton would have.
To address your comments above, you are incorrect,
When you renew your drivers licence you are asked if you would like to register to vote - the DMV does not know if you are a citizen or not, illegals can register if they qualify for a drivers licence, whether they did, or whether they voted, is the crux of this argument.
I would expect under Trump this registration loophole will be fixed, although i am sure he will be accused of being racist and exclusionary when doing so. To stop those already registered illegally from voting in the next election, registration would need to be crosschecked against citizenship, reading between the lines this may be why Trump is doing what he is doing. In proving him wrong the Democrats would out allot of illegals.
Voter fraud is voter fraud illegal immigrants or not, Trump got more votes from the recount, so who was cheating?
As for the pipeline good or bad, i am not going to get into that with you as we are quite obviously on different sides. You were insinuating that Trump did it for personal gain - Not the case at all
There will be numerous instances like this where - "a rising tide raises all boats", including Trumps
http://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2016/12/18/detroit-ballots-vote-recount-election-stein/95570866/
There were 782 more votes than voters listed in 248 precincts, out of a total of 248,211 votes in Wayne County's 662 precincts. The largest discrepancy was one precinct where there were 12 extra votes.
At 158 precincts the number of votes counted was 382 less than the number of people who had signed in to vote.
They also noted that there were more than 80 voting machines failures on election day and that the problem wasn't restricted to Detroit, in each of the 22 counties where the recount had begun before it was called off there was at least one precinct where the numbers didn't add up. Trump won in 75 counties out of 83
Conclusion; rather than voter fraud Michigan's voting system is pants.
Amazing thing, Google.
In my opinion, this is a large part of the issue with American politics (and politics in general, actually). Debates just turn into slanging matches, nobody listens to any viewpoint that doesn't immediately represent their own. Anyone who doesn't agree is grouped up into something that clearly doesn't represent their view anyway (Nazi, Communist). It just breeds a culture of stupidity, ignorance, and intolerance.
