Discussion: Trump Has New Term For 'Fake News': The 'Opposition Party'

An irrelevant fact perhaps, but what did she fire the head chef?

The ppResident is a PIG and his whole administration is wallowing in his shit.

We can’t rid ourselves of this PIG soon enough.

I’m all in for team Mueller.

Stray thoughts: Yep, Trump’s flailing and I don’t think this will be any more effective than other anti-media propaganda. Pretty sure it’s a Miller thing; Trump doesn’t have the chops for this ā€œopposition partyā€ idea, even as earthbound and lame as it is. The unstated premise of it relies on the media’s own tendency to faux equivalence, and the idea there must be good things to say about the Trump admin that the media aren’t saying. Trump’s own actions every day tear huge strips off that concept, though. People can see whether he does good stuff or not. He doesn’t. He can’t cut the gig. To justify himself he’s going back all the way to the election, and that’s geological ages ago in public-perception time and there’s nothing there to point to anyway. He stole the election, and does any normal person care about the tax cut? Please. And he’s really, really relying on Miller, maybe because Miller for all his trolling is a fanatic on brown people, the only true believer left in the den of thieves. But most of all this is flailing. Flailing flailing flailing.

It’s only frightening if the Democrats can’t get anything done regarding the electoral mess we have.

Had I known being the POTUS would be this easy, I would have run myself.

Unfortunately, tRump’s empty-headed followers will repeat this new line as if it means something other than they called bullshit on tRump’s lies.

No offense, but who the fuck cares what they say think or do? They are a minority and they’ve had their 15.

They are irrelevant.

If he had a dog, it would be the adult in the WH. That is what Annie, my border collie, told me. And she is very smart.

If he had a dog, it would probably bite him in self-defense. There’s a reason why people like Trump don’t have pets. Animals can smell fear.

And monkeys would come flying out of our butts!

The chef braised a steak medium rare and didn’t set out the ketchup.

Is it bad form to promote a link to a TPM Hive thread I started? I would love input and guidance, and for folks to tell me if I naively am missing an existing media and legal org who can fit the bill.

But if Chump thinks our NYT and WaPo are ā€œenemies of the peopleā€ and now the ā€œopposition partyā€ I would LOVE for there to be a few orgs out there who could REALLY make him piss himself. Media that doesn’t have to play by all the journo rules, and can start throwing media spotlight and lawsuits at him, at Twitter, at his enablers, for defamation and obstruction and as advocates for his earlier financial victims and new emoluments victims. The NYT and WaPo cannot organize marches or assemble lawyers or get boots on the ground or get out the vote campaigns.

The opposition… Welp it does certainly lack in originality. But it is better than being called fake. Or enemy of the people.

Your welcome. I usually call him The Orange Shitstain, but this seemed more appropriate.
