CNN didn't even quote him properly.

He said "beautiful thing" He seems to be asking a rhetorical question.

Then he finished the thought:

"No, because after we take all that crap for weeks and weeks, and you finally see men get up there and go right through them, wasn't it really a beautiful sight? It's called law and order."

So much for a reliable news source.


No, it was reliable. as was this:
Trump gloated over an MSNBC anchor being shot by a rubber bullet at an anti-racism protest, calling it a 'beautiful sight'

listen to the video - Trump uses "beautiful thing" twice with the first time being when he says they just moved him aside. Then after a bit, makes the statement you quote.
But Trump was wrong. He was not hit by a gas cannister, and he was not moved aside by anyone. Velshi simply said, "Hold on, I got hit."

And no, the whole thing was not beautiful - not the protest going on or the police response or others who were hurt. One reporter lost the vision in one eye. That is sad.

uhmmm...since the article was about President Trump mocking a guy getting shot with a rubber bullet. Dismissing it because you don't like the source of the information doesn't seem to be what the thread is about.


Again not what the thread is about, if you don't like CNN feel free to show where it's wrong. Which would be about the thread.


Again, not actually what the thread is about.


...than why post in the thread? Seems like an odd thing to do. :scratch:

The video shows how it was clipped and spun to mean something different
Typical.....promote the lie and scorn the truth. He said what he said period. It's nothing new. Trump loves it when police gas, shoot, and beat protesters. It's been the Conservative way since construction to beat down the poor and the colored when they speak up.

Sorry tulc... But as time goes on.. the numbers of people that believe this tripe are getting smaller and smaller....
Except of course it's President Trump's base that's getting smaller. That must be disappointing. And it's because of his tendency to do/say these sorts of things.

I guess when Trump gets his Nobel Peace Prize
Well, good luck with that. It have to be honest it would seem to be just one more time of him trying to be like President Obama.

... you will have all kinds of good things to say.... right?
I like people who win Nobels on their own, not just so they can copy Presidents they won't ever measure up to.

People are different, but the facts? No, they're simply facts. So while people can have different attitudes about a fact, that doesn't actually change a fact. Like one of my favorite quotes:
“you are entitled to your own views, but you are not entitled to your own facts.”

Yes, but then comes the whole debate of whether a fact is a true, absolute fact or not. A fact to some is not to others.

Then contrary to what the OP/the article tried to lead us to believe by leaving out part of the comment, Trump never said the knee shot was a beautiful sight, but only that law and order was...is that not correct?

Such lies are how the left hopes to win the election, and I personally don't want a bunch of untruthful people leading our country.

This is all so obvious, don't they know they are discrediting themselves horribly? Do they really believe the average Joe is that stupid?

So, you can question other's ideas, but we're not allowed to question yours?

You are totally free to question them.

Saying


Doesn’t really give an impression you are particularly interested in doing so while the subject is admittedly bit off topic and controversial in first place and despite claims like (wiki)

“David Glantz
, the American military historian known for his books on the Eastern front, concludes:

Although Soviet accounts have routinely belittled the significance of Lend-Lease in the sustainment of the Soviet war effort, the overall importance of the assistance cannot be understated. Lend-Lease aid did not arrive in sufficient quantities to make the difference between defeat and victory in 1941–1942; that achievement must be attributed solely to the Soviet people and to the iron nerve of Stalin, Zhukov, Shaposhnikov, Vasilevsky, and their subordinates.”

Perhaps Soviets would have been knocked out of the war without land-lease. In any case Patton had nothing to do with that effort in first place.

His fighting on destroying remnants of the German armed forces in the West certainly expedited the end of the war but at that point it was a sideshow.

YES! and more and more are sucked in by the lies and distortions that are put out there.
Thankfully some of the posters here are able to rebut the lies and deception. But each time there are a few that are duped and the anti Trump list grows.
Unfortunately, it all adds up, they are counting on that.

Man who always act like an immature spoiled 4th grader mocks someone who doesn’t agree with him when he’s wrong or if his stupidity and selfishness hurts someone or if someone he dislikes gets injured ....this is getting so old .

if you are enjoying the fact that someone gets hurt you’re a sadist
Yet, how many who decry what he said and how won't even try to see why he said it, would say worse things about him if he was shot?

Here is the unedited speech:


If you start at the 27:49 mark; you'll hear the true context of what was said.

The context is clearly that law and order is good.

The May date is the date of that protest video, not the date of when Trump was talking about it at his rally. The rally date is also at the upper right corner and is September 18, 2020.
The article isn't about the protest it's about what Trump said at his rally.
You are right.. but that's where I saw the date..

It still matters not... The report is by CNN on something that MSNBC reported.... It's useless.

If you really believe that now is the time to bet on it.

Nobel Peace Prize Odds: WHO leading Trump and Greta Thunberg

This site estimates his chances under 7% so you would get good odds.
It's really sad that Greta is even in the running...

It's sad that some adults with an agenda have taken this young lady with learning issues and fed her lies and let her take the stage to spew the nonsense.

By now, most people have realized that the climate changes.. continually.. and.. it's not man's fault...

But.. that's off topic.

Democrats love it when protesters "peacefully" burn car lots and buildings and businesses of innocent civilians who are trying to make a living..... laser cops in the eyes and try to get rid of law and order...and refuse to allow Trump to help stop the carnage as they walk among the vandals.

Do the Democrats want the US to be like Dodge City 1845...??

These poor protesters don't even realize that they are pawns being used by the elite of their country... They are doing the dirty work of the rich powerful Marxist politicians on the left.

You mean like Obama.... who won the peace prize... then went on to increase the war? Even those that gave him the prize.... openly state that they wish they hadn't and that it was a mistake.

Nobody wins this prize on their own... just so you know.. Even in past years there is always a cast of people who support, aid and work for the one receiving it.

Your hate for Trump has clouded your vision of reality.

Yep... absolutely...

If I hear something presented by CNN or MSNBC or the like... I wait a week and dig for the truth when it comes out.. Meanwhile they are on to some new bit of tripe...

Gone are the days when the media report unbiased, non partisan truth...

Now, the mainstream are all card carrying members of the Democrat party...

Uh even if you deny the contribution man has on it the climate is still getting hotter and there are ways we can slow the process and in the future maybe reverse it so why not use those technologies ?

Not like we wouldn’t try to bust a planet killer asteroid before it hit us even if it wasn’t our “fault”
