How to think critically about what the media is telling you?
jross replied to jross's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
The Tim Walz horse story is as believable as suckers and losers. -
Trump incited an insurrection as much as the election was rigged.
-
Trump was not criminally charged with incitement of insurrection by the Department of Justice or any federal court. Special Counsel Jack Smith's federal indictment against Trump in 2023 did not charge Trump with incitement of insurrection. Impeachment in the house was a partisan political process requiring a simple majority vote. It was not a legal one. There was not bi-partisan agreement and it didn't pass in the Senate.

Walz lied about drunk driving arrest while running for Congress

Wow. That is a low number for this Friday. -
How could one forget. He woke 50% of Americans up from the FAKE NEWS and awareness to the SWAMP.

Some achievements from memory Appointed conservative judges. My 401K. MAGA brought good vibes for now and the future. Tax cuts led to a strong economy with full-time jobs, higher pay, and companies investing in the U.S. "2-for-1" deregulation rule. "America First" approach reduced military involvement overseas, with direct meetings with leaders like Putin and Jong-un to avoid new wars. Negotiated from a position of strength, keeping peace and holding allies accountable. Implemented border security and immigration enforcement measures. More details are available at Trump White House Accomplishments. Some of the problems he addressed with EOs.. Biden reversed immediately. Immigration EOs for example.

Trump sparked my patriotism and pride in being American. His focus on "America First," renegotiating trade deals, and revitalizing American manufacturing truly resonated with me. Recently, I watched a video about building new cities, which filled me with wonder and excitement for the future. This feeling contrasts sharply with the dread and anxiety I feel when discussing victimization, foreign subsidies, and expanding government control. Trump’s presidency made notable impacts on economic policy, foreign policy, immigration, and the judiciary. He did manage to build new sections of the border wall, though not the full extent initially promised due to Congressional constraints—despite Congress funding border security in Ukraine. It often seems like Congress acts contrary to public wishes. Obama was effective at deporting illegal immigrants, but both administrations had room for improvement. Trump faced worsening conditions in Central America that led to increased illegal immigration despite strict measures. His focus was on preventing illegal entry through policies like "Remain in Mexico." If Trump wins a second term, similar to Obama, we will see reduced immigration and increased deportations compared to his first term. More deportations than ever before.

A wall isn’t the full solution, but it proven to help in many situations. Even Customs officials acknowledge its benefits. Your data on visa overstays is outdated. As of 2021, there were an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, with 4-5 million being visa overstays. From January 2021 to October 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported around 10 million encounters with removable noncitizens. On average, 1-2% of nonimmigrant admissions result in overstays annually, amounting to about 650,000 to 850,000 people each year. Visa overstayers tend to be more educated and are less of a concern compared to those who enter the country illegally. ...And the math says they no longer make up 40-50% of the undocumented population.

I like Trump's policies because I align more with his than any other candidate. I like Trump's business background and negotiation abilities. I dislike Trump's NYC brashness while respecting his directness. I'm MAGA with or without Trump. MAGA agenda... prioritize America-First foreign policy (less involvement in international conflicts and alliances) conservative judges increase manufacturing in America trade policy that protects America support for law enforcement and reducing illegal immigration less government interference family values ...

There is no way the Democrats on video really said what they said about Democrats. This far-right activist group must be using AI.

By 2044, all these illegal aliens and their children will be legal voting citizens. It will be an end to traditional constitutional values.

Can you imagine new cities and affordable cars?

Checks and balances prevented Trump from getting the wall done.

1986 is when many people formed the opinion that Trump could do what the government could not. https://www.nytimes.com/1986/11/15/nyregion/about-new-york-pssst-here-s-a-secret-trump-rebuilds-ice-rink.html Donald J. Trump refurbished the Central Park -skating rink two and a half months ahead of his own speedy six-month schedule and $750,000 below his own projected $3 million budget, having taken over the project after the city spent six years and $12 million unsuccessfully trying to get the job done. ... ''He built the most fabulous rink I have ever seen,'' said Vera Banchet, watching her daughter skate. ''I saw Trump on TV again last night. If I may say so, he is not one to hide his light under a bushel.'' ... At the opening a few potential mayoral candidates showed up to wonder aloud why the city couldn't do the job. ... ''I don't really care about Trump's ego or the attention he's grabbing,'' said George Rinaldi, a skater at the rink, who echoed the sentiments of many others. ''It's a great rink and he is a great man. Anybody who can get anything done right and done on time in New York is a bona fide hero. He should get a ticker-tape parade.''

@BobDole The IP Address suggestion came from personal experience. Several years ago, I encountered a situation where I couldn’t connect to a specific vendor's services using my phone. This issue seemed to be linked to a specific location. Frustrated, I stopped using the vendor's services. Later, I found out that the vendor had actually banned a whole IP block, which affected my ability to connect from that particular tower. -

Thanks for your patience. The first guidelines were meant so you (anyone) could answer. I went back and answered several questions directly, and updated hypothetical guidelines to better match the answers. -
