Students and protesters the Right loves
Chinese students for flying American flags
Iranian students for avoiding painted US Israel flag
But be an American student protesting
What a different view they have ...

Or any pro socialist agenda, you know how they hate handouts, unless of course it’s a choice select group of farmers they just screwed out of a livelihood over a growing season long trade war.

Chinese and Iranian students are protesting actual, institutionalized, brutal oppression.
Jesus. What a post.

The AP ran a headline after the Iranians shot down a jet last week, saying:
Iranian General Killed In US Strike, Then Innocents Suffer...
BS like that, as well as what Hannity does every night, hurt the country. These people are knowingly hurting the country, but they don't care, either because they want money or a political outcome.
"Enemy Of The People" is a bit strong, but it's not way off.
Conservatives want a free press, as long as they aren't in the bag... |

the Iranian regime is thrilled to know that the democrat party, the American left and the American main stream media are their newest proxies, and obama and kerry are top advisors |

Trump said "fake news" is an enemy of the people. He did not say the Press or the Media is the enemy of the people. And Press, Media, or commentators can be both right or wrong. But when they misinform in important matters, especially with biased motivation, they are indeed a form of enemy to the people who depend on them for the information needed to make decisions on how the country is governed.
It is that type of misinformation that Trump refers to as fake. |

republicans are so uncaring and heartless, it’s amazing any of us made it out alive when they controlled everything in 2017-2018.

Which in his narrow vision is any outlet other than Fox, unless of course they start to be critical of him and then they too suddenly are the enemy. Fake to him means anything that paints him in a bad light. |

If the "bad light" is inaccurate, then it is fake. |

He calls anything painting him in a bad light fake it doesn’t matter to him if it’s factual, which is ironic for a guy topping over 10,000 lies or false statements to date. |

OK. I'll resort to your method of just saying stuff. He calls anything painting him in a bad light fake news when it isn't true. |

Even in his explaining the intel for taking out the general during a Fox News interview, he lies to the American public and the right eats it up like candy. He claims intel that up to four embassies were likely to be attacked, only to have the defense department say there was no solid evidence of that, but a likelihood that may be in the works. So who is generating more fake news than Trump, I say nobody beats him for generating false news.

Point being, how many times has Trump claimed one thing and department heads have had to walk it back because it was a lie; that was for our Blue Font coloring expert. |

Wow thats some kool aid
