Always someone else's fault.

What was that sign that Harry Truman used to keep on his desk?

It's enough. The amount of people that believe this **** is staggering and it's affecting government and our way of life.

A quick Google-ing shows that Medina County, Ohio (located south of Cleveland, West of Akron) has a population of 176,395. In 2016, the county went Red for Trump with 53,811 votes (60.2%). Hillary got 31,582 votes (35.3%).

The showing of "Death of a Nation" isn't listed on the official schedule of events for the county fair.

Google also shows that the *ONLY* thing publicly advertising "Death of a Nation" at the Medina County Fair is this NY Times article.

*edit* So, to have 30 people attend this private screening, those voters already had their minds made up against Democrats. You could have showed a snuff film of Republicans wearing MAGA hats raping children, shooting people, and drowning kittens in burlap sacks, and these 30 people would have told you that everyone who died or was maimed deserved it.

Sure. You can dismiss it. And then you read something like this from today's Mpls. Star-Tribune and you know it's not to be dismissed.

Reading the insipid and utterly clueless Aug. 16 editorial “A unified response to attacks on press” reinforced the insight, common these days, that there are indeed two Americas and that we have very little, if anything, to say to each other. But, for what it’s worth, I will ask this: Given all that has happened these past two years under the moralizing rubric of “Resist” and with the intent not to criticize but to delegitimize, how can your side of the political divide ever expect the other side to react when and if a Democrat is again elected president? I can answer the question: The other side will have every right to follow the example which you have now set and they will. At its most basic level, the Constitution is an agreement to disagree. You and others like you have broken that agreement.

Editor’s note: The writer refers to the Star Tribune Editorial Board’s contribution to an effort initiated by the Boston Globe opinion staff in which scores of American editorial boards responded Thursday to President Donald Trump’s denigration of the news media. As is often noted on these pages, opinion content at the Star Tribune is produced independently of the newsroom, as is common in the industry. However, the discussion at hand is that of the broader role of the press in our democracy. Read on.

Oh my lord. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-and-omarosa-had-a-fcking-weird-fight-with-vietnam-vets

During the course of the meeting, Weidman brought up the issue of Agent Orange, an extremely notorious component of the U.S. herbicidal warfare on Vietnam. Weidman was imploring the president and his team to permit access to benefits for a broader number of vets who have said they were poisoned by Agent Orange.

Trump responded by saying, “That’s taken care of,” according to people in the room.

His reply puzzled the group.

Attendees began explaining to the president that the VA had not made enough progress on the issue at all, to which Trump responded by abruptly derailing the meeting and asking the attendees if Agent Orange was “that stuff from that movie.”

He did not initially name the film he was referencing, but it quickly became clear as Trump kept rambling that he was referring to the classic 1979 Francis Ford Coppola epic Apocalypse Now, and specifically the famous helicopter attack scene set to the “Ride of the Valkyries.”

Source present at the time tell The Daily Beast that multiple people—including Vietnam War veterans—chimed in to inform the president that the Apocalypse Now set piece he was talking about showcased the U.S. military using napalm, not Agent Orange.

Trump refused to accept that he was mistaken and proceeded to say things like, “no, I think it’s that stuff from that movie.”

One clue belying the president’s insistence is that the famous Robert Duvall line from the scene in Apocalypse Now, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” is not “I love the smell of Agent Orange in the morning.”

He then went around the room polling attendees about if it was, in fact, napalm or Agent Orange in the famous scene from “that movie,” as the gathering—organized to focus on important, sometimes life-or-death issues for veterans—descended into a pointless debate over Apocalypse Now that the president simply would not concede, despite all the available evidence.

Finally, Trump made eye contact again with Weidman and asked him if it was napalm or Agent Orange. The VVA co-founder assured Trump, as did several before him, that it was in fact napalm, and said that he didn’t like the Coppola film and believed it to be a disservice to Vietnam War veterans.

According to two people in attendance, Trump then flippantly replied to the Vietnam vet, “Well, I think you just didn’t like the movie,” before finally moving on.

The debate over Apocalypse Now in the Roosevelt Room lasted at least two minutes, according to estimates from those who endured it. The president was not able to call on everyone at the roundtable by the end of the event, in part due to these types of tangents.

Reached for comment Wednesday, Weidman told The Daily Beast that he does “hate that movie,” and while he did not go into specifics of this part of the meeting, he did confirm that Trump “said something where it was clear he was confused by napalm and Agent Orange.”

Re: POTUS 45.39: Dick Pictures for Everyone!!!!!!!

Another forum I visit someone started a topic that we know Trump's not a fascist because, "we can still call him one". I retorted it's pathetic how low the bar has set when we have to thank our lucky stars the POTUS isn't a fascist - as if it's a common dilemma we face in this country but this time we a good 'un!!

Ya gotta love his 5th Avenue Posse.

Re: POTUS 45.39: Dick Pictures for Everyone!!!!!!!

30 people is considered a big draw? Really?

I'm surprised it wasn't 300. Or 3000. I live in Medina County. This is trump central and the vast majority of people around here have bought into the trump agenda, and the notion of a "deep state" and the press being the enemy of the people lock, stock and barrel. There aren't 3 trump voters from 2016 who won't vote for him again in 2020. Don't be fooled by what might appear to be a small crowd screening some fact challenged "documentary."

Her husband Joel Arrona was driving his wife to the hospital for a scheduled Cesarean section Wednesday afternoon when they had to stop to get gas. That’s when their car was approached by two SUVs. Maria said they were officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The mother of five was then asked to show her identification and complied. When the agents asked Arrona, the couple said he didn’t have the ID on him, but that they lived nearby and could go get it for them. The agents then asked Arrona to exit the vehicle, searched the car for weapons, and put Arrona into custody, leaving Maria alone at the gas station.

Re: POTUS 45.39: Dick Pictures for Everyone!!!!!!!

So I was watching some news about the 75 signatures of security people being rather angry about the treatment of former security agents and management.

The dumpy supporter claimed that the cut off was part of the draining the swamp to stop them from using their clearance to make money off of it. (which drew a pretty terse reply, since many of them DON'T).

I concept, I'm sure that people like sic think this is a good really good idea. If this minor amount of money making is bad, then how is it that we have people who run entire agencies who make a TON of money off the government? We have dumpy's family selling US citizenship overseas. We CLEARLY have agencies who are bending over backwards to make the people they are regulating happy- so that they can make more money.

If you are really that upset about some former intel people making money, where the heck is your outrage about the really obvious corruption that is going on right in front of your face?!??!!?!

looking for pennies of corruption, and letting dollars of corruption happen freely. I don't get that.

This groups of morons are just trying to shut up their opponents so that they can steal more money from all of us. Yay.

It's not even corruption. If a former government official is "making money" off of his clearance, it is because he is performing *work* for somebody - work that requires access to classified information. It's not as if somebody is just sending these guys money while they sit on the couch just because they have a clearance - and now, whoa, hey since you no longer have a clearance you're going to have to sit on that couch for free.

This groups of morons are just trying to shut up their opponents so that they can steal more money from all of us. Yay.

Ding, ding, ding.

These pesky air quality regulations just really cuts into profits.

“ President Trump wants to issue a significant rollback of a signature Obama-era policy that limits emissions from coal-fired power plants — a move experts warn will push 12 times the amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in the next decade.”

The linked story has been updated. Here's another:ICE says man taken while rushing pregnant wife to hospital is wanted for murder in Mexico

Although she was going for a scheduled cesarean so I'm not sure "rushing pregnant wife to hospital" is entirely accurate. I imagine it does help with the the clicks though.

Sure. "ICE says".

That's about as believable as "Trump says".

Show me the warrant. Oh wait, ICE refuses to show warrants.
