Trump Denies Posing Spokesperson

What claim? That the WP has been posting negative and slanted articles against Trump since his candidacy began? You seriously deny that they have?

I'm saying I don't see it until you post some evidence that supports it. This story surely doesn't so I'm not sure what ticked you off here
 
Nice try, but wrong. Pretty much what you'd expect from a member of the Clinton defense cult.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juanita_Broaddrick

You get one shot at a diversion reply (which was your point) -- Juanita signed a sworn affidavit saying she was not sexually attacked by Clinton. She's a proven liar. Either way you cut it.

The woman couldn't even remember the *month* she was attacked, and went to a fundraiser for him to support him after supposed attack -- even the Starr team, hell bent of getting Clinton on everything and anything found too many holes in her story.

so stuff it, and get back ON TOPIC.
 
I fail to see any sort of bearing that hit piece in describing long ago and non-relevant facts have anything to do with the present situation.

So, yes, flinging poo.

LOL, so, would you say, "At this point, what difference does it make?"

The fact that he's an emotionally needy liar has bearing when we are trying to judge who to make the most powerful human being on the planet. But I'll remember this the next time you complain about Hillary :)

You didn't explain anything, you just got caught with your bias showing and now you're trying to cover. Trump is going after the WP because, before Bezos bought it, though it had seriously declined, it wasn't a yellow journalism rag. I didn't mention Slate or the Daily Mail because they have never been anything other than toilet paper.

In other words, you automatically assume that if a source you don't like says something you don't want to hear, that source must be lying or skewing the facts. That means that you are deliberately limiting yourself to one side of the story.

Unlike you, I know that refusing to consider what the other side says is the fastest way to become trapped in an ideological echo chamber. When I see references to something by the Daily Caller, or Breitbart, or the Washington Times, while I know that each of those are biased, I still read the reference because I know that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. For instance, I remember when Breitbart was exposing the woman working for the IRS who was targeting conservative organizations - Breitbart was right about that, even though most of what they say is wrong.

That, sir, is why you are doing yourself a real disservice by ignoring the other side's sources...because you never know when you're going to get a more factual side of the story than you ever expected.

I've been asking him for evidence for multiple posts now and he hasn't provided any that even supports his claim...

Wow. Nonsense. You've been here reading since the primaries began. Anti-Trump story after story has been posted with the source being the WP.

Here's a typical WP offering, choose any day during the primaries and the WP will be posting a couple anti-Trump stories.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...3f7f94-0d9d-11e6-8ab8-9ad050f76d7d_story.html

As to why I mention it here - Bezos owns the damn thing now.

Nope, but way to skew it. If the source is known for skewing the facts I tend to discount it's veracity. Something about the boy who cried wolf...:mrgreen:

Fail. Opinion pieces don't count. Especially some random guys opinion about what the GOP should do about trump. That's not news

You mean that you're unable to tell when they are or are not skewing the facts? As for myself, when I read the Daily Caller, etc., I do know that they're likely to skew the facts...but I DO NOT ASSUME that they always do so...and if I read something that is of concern, and if I can't see any apparent skewing of facts, then I research it - I look elsewhere (as I did with the aforementioned Breitbart story)...and every once in a while, they're right.

This, sir, is how I keep out of the ideological echo chamber. You should try it sometime. Data is NEVER automatically right or wrong (or skewed) based solely on who says it. But if you still insist on only hearing one side of the story, that's your right.
 
Fail. You're still ducking and weaving, trying to cover. In case your search functions are all broken:

I am? You suck at posting evidence to back up your claim. How am I supposed to know which articles you think are biased against trump and which you think are not. This is why I asked you. And i wonder wouldn't you be much happier in a pro trump forum reading your pro trump news?

Yes you are and it's still a massive fail. The blizzard tactic won't work for you, nor has anyone forgotten all this is because you didn't read my post before responding to it and ended up with egg on your face.

And your evidence???
 
LOL, so, would you say, "At this point, what difference does it make?"

LOL. I think I'd more focus on how disconnected the point or objection raised in the Post was to the situation we have now before us.

I mean who the hell cares that Trump was his own spokesperson for a time? What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

That, in conjunction with the Post specifically targeting 20 reporters to dig up whatever **** they can find, and / or invent, on Trump makes this piece little more than a joke of alleged 'reporting' and / or alleged 'journalism'. Not worth the paper it's printed on and not worth the bits on the monitor.

The fact that he's an emotionally needy liar has bearing when we are trying to judge who to make the most powerful human being on the planet. But I'll remember this the next time you complain about Hillary :)

Are you equating being your own spokesperson for a spell with ignoring all warnings of an attack being imminent and not providing sufficient security forces? That comparison to me rings hollow.

Which political leader isn't an emotionally needy liar? I mean prominent DEMs and GOPs. Seems to be a recurring character fault in those that are engaged in that line of work.

Donald Trump denies posing as spokesman in recordings Washington Post uncovered - TODAY.com

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ac99ec-16fe-11e6-aa55-670cabef46e0_story.html

Trump says he doesn't know anything about this tape uncovered by Washington Post from the 1990s when he posed as his own PR person under different names. If you listen to the voice and it's mannerisms it definitely is Trump. Then he goes off on Washington Post and Jeff Bezos himself. I wonder why???

Trump: Bezos using 'Washington Post' to protect Amazon monopoly

Trump says Washington Post owner Bezos has 'huge antitrust problem' | Fox News

Geezus, could it be any more obvious that it's him? I recognize that slimy voice and way of speaking anywhere. But I have to hand it to him. He is one very good and very cool liar. Yeah, it's a "scam", Donald.:roll:

Let me guess - half the posts in this thread are his devoted followers, crying foul and raging against Wapo?

For the life of me I can't figure out why people have a problem with this story. I mean it happened and its not really an attack. Trump himself probably approved of the leak. Its not like its him bragging about how much he loves killing people...

Trumpsters didn't know about this so they are pissed off even though it just shows that trump is a master at conning us all
 
Awww.

Skeered Donnie.

Trump hung up on reporters in the middle of an interview after being asked the question if he ever employed "John Miller."


The Washington Post:


"Then, Friday afternoon, Washington Post reporters who were 44 minutes into a phone interview with Trump about his finances asked him a question about Miller: “Did you ever employ someone named John Miller as a spokesperson?”

The phone went silent, then dead. When the reporters called back and reached Trump’s secretary, she said, “I heard you got disconnected. He can’t take the call now. I don’t know what happened.”
 
Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed.

How ANY 'family values, evangelical' person is backing Trump is beyond me. 3 times married, brags about cheating and having affairs, owns casinos and strip clubs, swears like a sailor? And he has the 'family values' vote?

This should pretty much destroy ALL the credibility the religious right/evangelical has in future elections.
 
That still doesn't take away from what I said. The Clintons are trained politicians Trump is not a trained politician. He's learning as he goes and makes sh*t up. Obviously Clinton has a better time dealing with scandal because she's been through it before.
Trained politicians, exactly what we no not need.





If Trump did it, and lets be honest this sounds like a classic Trump move, he should admit it.

I love the balls, the drive, the self confidence.
Well there is that.


I doubt it matters one bit to most folks.


And if what the interviewer says in the following video is true, it is absolutely hilarious.




Played? Like fiddle even.

Denying it is bs. Admitting it, making no big deal of it, and most would move on from this.
Not that I would vote for Trump, but this is a non issue except for lying about it.

So you'd rather go with a thin skinned ego maniac? Trumps game plan is so obvious right now it brings shame to the voting process. His obvious strategy is to just stay in the news for as long as possible but after a year of the Donald Trump show its going to get old really fast.
 
I fail to see how this could matter.....to ANYONE?
Howler, your post is so right.

Bill Clinton lied. How is this any different? A lot of people didn't even blink an eye. They continued their support for Bill after they knew he lied. This will get some people: there's lyin' Ted. Why do they like lyin' Ted but not Trump?

Try to prove that was Trump on the recording, anyway.

It matters to the #nevertrumpers. Yeah, they don't not think in their nevertrump ideology (maybe some will jump on my obvious bad grammar in an attempt to prove Trump is a bad candidate).

Stop with the exaggerated nonsense.

It is obvious that you have no clue what his game plan is.

Is that your irrational thoughts on it? That's nice.
 
1. Stop with the exaggerated nonsense.


It is obvious that you have no clue what his game plan is.




2. Is that your irrational thoughts on it? That's nice.

What do you think your post is? Something great?? See second sentence of your last post.

What is irrational about my post? I call it as I see it and in some elections there is no lesser of two evils
