    Your correct about the news, but this was part of the Reagan Revolution. This was long before Obama. No, the news isn't objective, its is solely driven by profits. Walter Cronkite famously warned America about that in the early 80's. The problem he said is not about having to hear opposing views, but more about the fact that they are both now allowed to lie without repercussion. The fact that we still call it "news" is an embarrassment to real "news". The basics of the removal of the fairness doctrine was that it allowed "news" to be coopted to be a nothing more than corporate propaganda for the advertisers.

    America is doomed because we are so divided now, and refuse to even address the root cause because we are so worried about hurting the other side, we refuse to hold our own sides accountable. If we refuse to even understand the root cause, we will never be able to fix what I fear is an irrevocably broken.

    I would agree that the headline was sensationalizing it. But that happens.
    The statement by Trump was pretty straightforward. He wants himself to be installed as the president, or hold another election. After he just announced he was running for the next one in less than two years.
    Think about that for a minute.
    Highlighted in red: I agree that it has gotten out of hand, but if you are serious then you should be just as apalled at Trump using Fox news and many of their talking heads for political advantage. Even using Hannity as an adviser.
    Not a whataboutism, but pointing out the hypocritical notion.
    I will agree that politics need to pull back from the entertainment sector and back into the "WTF are you gonna do" sector.
    Unfortunately for Trump supporters, Trump won't shut up.

    It's Ben a problem. I think part of today's turmoil is because people are waking up to it. They can get videos and real soundbites. They can see the events and statements live and in full context instead of relying on the interpretations of the press. It's a new age. I am optimistic that the American people will have an entirely different 'news' once this is all over.

    Dripping with irony…!

    You have in this thread exactly what you call for….a ‘live statement’ by The Stain concerning his demand that all of the Articles of your Constitution be “terminated”…!

    But, rather than condemning him for his authoritarian stance, you and your mates grovel around in semantic games, complaining that the words “termination” and “Constitution” have too much space between them…!

    Quite stunning…

    "Massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." is 100% correct. Its called 'consent of the governed' and its the foundational principle of our constitutional democracy. Our 'govt of, by and for The People' is predicated upon a contract that begins with the constitution and expands to all laws, regulations and rules that both we and the govt are expected to abide by. Election fraud undermines all of it by breaching the contract and removing representation from the equation. Trump isn't calling for the termination of the social contract, he's pointing out that the social contract will be perceived as breached and thus null and void if our elections are not legitimate.

    First line "So, with the revelation of MASSIVE FRAUD..."
    If he could say "proof of" there might be a bit of sense in the rest but he can't, none has been found.

    Next up, his "revelation of his MASSIVE SEX ABILITIES" with no confirmation from ex-lovers. My bet is all his children were artificially inseminated.

    But but but Trump never specified the US constitution. He could be talking about the Magna Carta for all we know...

    For once, just once, why don't you press Trump to explain himself, or are his supporters too tired of winning. ? :)

    Anyone surprised this didn’t actually happen and the left fell for fake news again? They purposefully misinterpreted, in the most malicious way possible his statement to come up with the nuttiest narrative…again lmao.

    They know what he said, but are afraid to admit it. That's why we have 7 pages of incoherent drivel with not one explanation of what they believe Trump said.

    MSM has warped their minds into thinking terminating the constitution amd terminating the rules, regulations and articles, even those in the constitution, mean different things.

    It seems clear to me that Trump has no problem with adjusting laws which get in the way of where he thinks he should be.
    This is not only defying the oath a president takes but is the central assumption if a potential dictator, many models of which have occurred in Africa and South America.
    The man is seriously dangerous to any idea of an American republic and democratic process.

    Mr. Donald Trump, despite many failed law suits, still contends that he is the rightful President of the United States of America. Perhaps he's attempting to advertise a new TV show in the footsteps of the late Mr. Patrick Paulsen.

    A post from another source might also be apropos.

    "Way back when, this poor old country mouse suggested that there was a short story by Mr. Ray Bradbury in his book, October Country, that related well to Mr. Donald Trump. The story is The Watchful Poker Chip Of H. Matisse, This latest antic [Ed.: The word is used in both its current and archaic meanings,] once again confirms the assertion.

    "That some of our federal legislators still seek to support him, or duck questions and remain neutral, tells us far more about them than about him. For openers, they have no feck."

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    Please tell me what specific articles or parts of the constitution he was referring to?

    There is no such thing as whataboutism. That's simply a word for "ignore my hypocrisy"

    He said all, as in "all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." Perhaps you have a different definition of "all"?

    Oh I think he absolutely should elaborate on his statement and explain himself. I have several questions about this such as if he believes he is entitled to a do over election, why is running in 2024? That seems to an acceptance of the current election system.

    My only point is that the article (multiple articles now) are fake news by saying some variation of what the subject line of this thread says (which is also fake news).

    So you are saying he wants all rules everywhere and all at once terminated? Traffic rules and so forth? Yes how dare I question the meaning of "all".

    My guess: If Biden had said something similar, you wouldn't be so nitpicky about his exact words, but call for his immediate resignation. And there I thought you were better than the typical mindless Trump follower.

    Post his words exactly.
    He did not use the word ignore.
    Terminate is the word used.
