I never said gerrymandering is an exclusively republican thing, I said recently, the party to develop it into an art form and necessity is the republican party

Like I was trying to say, what Trump's republican party is trying to do or was trying to do was so blatant, gerrymandering was too nice a word for it.
Stop trying to divert, the issue here is that gerrymandering has no effect on the presidential elections or any statewide elections for that matter as you ignorantly claimed

Of course we are completely ignorant about territory purchases and need the media to brainwash us that Trump's way is not how territories are purchased in the 21st century.
So you know how territories are purchased in the 21st century? what way are territories bought in the 21st century? Are there any rules on how territories are bought in the 21st century?

Some liberal was talking about climate change a few posts ago.
The main proponent ,the inventor of the hockey stick climate change model refused to produce his data in a lawsuit that he filed against a *denier" who called him out (discovery) . He lost the darrn lawsuit.
Climate change was once global warming, global cooling, CO2 emissions, sea level rise .Climate change proponents want to take over and take big money oil cash.
Smell the money. Why dont they stop using oil, ride bikes to work or walk to work to save our earth.Remembers we only 12 more years before glaciers melt and sink Manhattan. But Obama has just bought a beach front property on Martha's vineyard for 15m Usd.

..this is more than you'll ever get from trump who inappropriately passes along unverified conspiracy theories and makes claims easily, fact checked to be false in his role as President of the United States all the time and never retracts or apologizes...

I don't know how territories are bought in the 21st since none has been bought in the 21st to the best of my knowledge, but I do know you can't go buying teritories how "US bought Alaska from Russia", or "US virgin islands from Denmark", or "even Louisiana was bought from the French" in the 21st.

The other day axios said Trump wanted to detonate a nuclear bomb over the oceans to stop a hurricane.

Trump delivers another blow to Fox News: 'Fox isn’t working for us anymore!'

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/28/trump-attacks-fox-news-1476653

President Donald Trump let loose on Fox News on Wednesday, saying the network "isn’t working for us anymore" while encouraging his followers to look for an alternative to his long-cherished cable news channel.

In a three-part Twitter attack, Trump escalated his feud that started earlier this year when the network started featuring more Democratic commentators and hosted a series of town halls with Democratic presidential candidates.

On Wednesday Trump tee'd off on Fox News over an appearance by Democratic National Committee spokesperson Xochitl Hinojosa.

"Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox. Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond)," Trump wrote.

...the media suppose to be the 'fourth estate' or 'fourth arm of government' in a democratic system...not the mouthpiece of the government or the president...the USA is neither Russia or North Korea...maybe the russian times will be trump's favorite news channel soon...

Complete bullocks!!! He got his fake story from a single source who they admit has not seen any of the documents. O'Donnell has not seen the documents, his one source has not seen the documents yet he went on to report it as news? Only two words for that, FAKE NEWS!! Is it not too much of a coincidence that immediately Trump's attorney contacted them to retract the story or face legal action, MSNBC and their quack journalist immediately ran to walk back their story? The cowards know they are lying their hearts out. Anyway, I am happy that Eric Trump has confirmed that the Trump organization will be taking legal action against the fake news mongers. You can't just go about publishing unconfirmed rumours and call yourself a journalist. Lawrence O'Donnell is a quack.

If he is sure that what he reported is true then why is he retracting it? Why should reporting what is true be classified as "an error of judgement"? The only reason why he admits he made an error of judgement is his report was a pile of lies and nothing more

Liberal politicians are busy flying all over the place in jets and riding expensive cars emitting carbon at an astonishing rate. I should think that if we truly had only 12 years to climate Armageddon, then these jokers would be doing every thing to reduce their carbon imprints. They won't do that but they will complain about cow farts and people eating burgers. And you are spot on about Obama the hypocrite purchasing a Beach front home. That's just a perfect demonstration of the hypocrisy of these jokers

And you believe that because Sandi bachom says so? As in the well known leftist nut Sandi bachom that even leftwing media refuse to touch with a long pole? You think if anything like what Sandi bachom said happened in court that the anti Trump media won't have reported it by now? Stop trying to defend fake news with more fake news. Get your news from trustworthy sources, not loons like Sandi bachom. The other thing is MSNBC and Lawrence O'Donnell himself admitted that they haven't verified any of this stories and their source has not seen any of the documents in question so stop trying hard to pretend they have any evidence on Trump. By their own admission, they have not seen any evidence so it's not about whether it's meant for public release or not. Even the reporter and MSNBC themselves did not say they are retracting because it's not meant for public release. He said in his own words because, "I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process". How much more clearer can he be? I don't know from where you are bringing the issue of whether it was supposed to be released to the public or not. Even the people involved didn't say anything about that

James Comey violated FBI policies with memos on Trump discussions, IG report says

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-inspector-general-says-comey-violated-policies-with-memos-documenting-private-conversations-with-trump

A scathing inspector general report released Thursday said that fired FBI Director James Comey violated bureau policies by drafting, leaking and retaining memos documenting discussions with President Trump.

The Justice Department's official watchdog concluded that the memos Comey kept were in fact "official FBI records," and said Comey set a "dangerous example" with his actions.

The office said he "violated applicable policies and his FBI Employment Agreement by providing one of the unclassified memos that contained official FBI information, including sensitive investigative information, to his friend with instructions for the friend to share the contents of the memo with a reporter."

Further, the IG determined that Comey kept copies of four memos (out of the total seven he drafted) in a personal safe at home after his removal as director -- and in doing so also "violated FBI policies and his FBI Employment Agreement by failing to notify the FBI that he had retained them, or to seek authorization to retain them." And the IG said Comey again violated the rules "by providing copies ... of the four memos he had kept in his home to his three private attorneys without FBI authorization."

While the findings of the probe were forwarded to the DOJ, the department has declined prosecution. But for Comey, who has cultivated the image of a by-the-book and irreproachable leader since his termination in 2017, the review shined a harsh light on his decisionmaking in the final, beleaguered weeks of his tenure at the head of the nation's top law enforcement agency.
