Cheeto Benito's unforced error in Taiwan

[phrodeau]

You're reading the New Yorker and find it to be accurate, that's the problem.

If anyone in this country still believes ANYTHING the media has to say, then you are a fool, and will be taken as one. The media's job, when it comes to politics, is to vet ALL of the candidates during an election year, so the American public is well informed. They stopped doing that in 2008. How many of us heard about Obama's political start? Where he got his launch from? Or about the pastor in the church he attended for years that has a racist preacher at the pulpit? NONE OF US HEARD IT FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA! They stopped doing their job.
And this year, how many of you believed the polls, that Hillary was going to win this in a walk? And how many of you noticed that EVERY story on the news about the GOP is negative, yet every story about Hillary or Obama was glowing, and did nothing but show them in a great light?
You can't trust the media anymore. They do nothing but lie to spin their own agenda. If you can't see that, then you're not looking at anything objectively.

And no, China isn't going to nuke the world. Anyone who says they will is fear mongering, and should be called out on it.

If you claim the mainstream media are wrong or untrustworthy, then produce some truth to prove it.

And if you make an accusation of nuclear fear-mongering, you need to show a reliable source that is doing it. That's the only way to have credibility here.

Yea, so has American Thinker.

Kids, can you say "false equivalency"?

I knew you couldn't!

People in Trump's inner circle are saying he actually planned the call a long time ago, before he'd even won the primary.
Apparently he's decided to really fuck with China, and this was the first step of a number of planned steps.

If he fucks with China, where's he going to get his clothing lines made?

I guess Taiwan.
Certainly not in the US.

LOL

False equivalency my ass, The New Yorker is a lefty propaganda organization.

Which explains your reverence for their god like authority in all things factual.

Then that's all I claim and none of your 'if-then' bullshit matters.

oh fuck, there's no point with you.

Trying to turn me into a USA hating, white male loathing professional victim democrat??

You're right I'm not nor will I ever be that big of a fuckin' looser.

I expect nothing but baseless and witless arguments from you, and you provide them in spades.

Cheeto Benito, that's hilarious. He is truly behaving like an orange version of Mussolini. He is even criticizing entertainment media for their "unfunny and unbalanced" portrayals of him.

The big question is, "Can we all afford to take a joke at this point in history?"

Every POTUS since Ford has been impersonated and parodied on SNL. Even the dull unfunny ones like GHWB. Comes with the job. What made him think he wouldn't be?

 

[KingOrfeo]

LOL

False equivalency my ass, The New Yorker is a lefty propaganda organization.

Only in the sense that reality has a liberal bias. If you read something stated as fact in TNY it is almost certainly true; if you read it on American Thinker, you already have good grounds to suspect it isn't.

Yea except the whole fascist dictator part....

 

[KingOrfeo]

Objecting to any and all criticism of himself, even in the form of jokes and parodies, is definitely something a fascist dictator would do. Not that Trump has the imagination to be fascist.

It's also something lots of other non fascist do all the time.

Go make fun of a SJW at one of their riots and watch the civility of modern liberals evaporate in front of your very eyes.

So until he actually does something fascist, like shuts down any media that clowns him, you all sound EXACTLY like all the teahaddist who called Obama the second coming of STALIN!!! OHHHH!!!!

Well, he has said he wants to change the libel laws so he can sue anyone who says anything negative about him, even if it's absolutely true.
There are ways to shut down media without actually putting them in jail.

I don't recall Obama ever saying the media shouldn't be allowed to say unflattering things or negative things about him.

Your ride or die (D) partisanship isn't false-equivalency on my part.

That's not the same as sending in the government goons AK's a blazin to shut down all media not controlled by the state.

Because THAT is what a fascist would do.

Just like Obama didn't round up all dissenters and have them shot and shoved into mass graves like a good lefty would do.

There are ways to shut down media without actually putting them in jail.

And Trump doesn't have the authority to do any of them, making all the dipshits screaming "FASCIST!!! FASCISM!! HE'S A FASCIST!!" total fucking idiots demonstrating the haven't got a clue what that word means.

I don't recall Obama ever saying the media shouldn't be allowed to say unflattering things or negative things about him.

No he said he was going to socialize our HC freaking the anti-socialist out and calling him Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot etc.

Which funny enough turned out to be a total lie the (D)'s would eventually try to blame (R)'s for LOL!!!

Hey BB, if you don't think Cheeto Benito is behaving like the original Mussolini, watch some of the old film clips of the original and then compare it to the pompous speaking style of Cheeto in his recent "Bring Us Together" tour, where he gloated and bragged to his ditto heads about how much fun it was to beat Hillary. The original Mussolini provides a much better impersonation of Cheeto than Alec Baldwin.

As for the fascist moves, be patient and give Cheeto some time. As some members of the media say, "Let's wait and see how he governs."

If a pompous speaking style defines a fascist then Obama and Hillary are every bit the fascist Trump is.

Yes if he acts like a fascist then all the whiners who made him happen would be correct in their analysis.

But until then they just are just making baseless claims and sounding like morons in the process.

Just like the folks who called Obama a Stalinist Commie dictator.

As some members of the media say, "Let's wait and see how he governs."

Yea, because he won the election...that's what you're supposed to do when the people elect someone as prescribed by the laws set forth in the US Constitution.

Incoming Reichpresident Cheeto Benito screwed the pooch vis-a-vis diplomatic relations with China this week. Primarily through the efforts of Presidents Nixon and Reagan, we had a delicate balance of power where the USA "formally" recognized Commie China as a government, would not "formally" recognize Taiwan BUT would continue to sell unlimited amounts of arms to Taiwan.

Delicate, but it worked. For over three decades.

Enter Cheeto Benito, the proverbial bull-shitter in the China shop.

He takes a call from the Taiwanese President to discuss a major expansion of Trump hotels in Taiwan.

Major diplomatic slap-in-the-face to China.

Trump is failing before he even assumes the mantle of office.

Full gory synopsis here

Nothing is going to happen................however, when Trump starts pushing for fair trade with China, THEN da shit might hit the fan

BB is truly the most excellent point-by-point debater on Lit. He so effectively tears apart every post that disagrees with his own most excellent posts.

I give up. All hail BB!

Obama is the most eloquent and stirring public speaker of our time. Hillary does not resonate the same way, but at least she never comes across as stupid or ignorant or even very much arrogant (smug, but not arrogant). There is no equivalency between their style and Trump's.
