Fact Check Friday


Dozens have posted videos online about the questionable Acosta-Intern tussle video released by the White House but this person seems to be the only one who actually went to the source video to come up with the truth.



78 comments :

  1. It doesn't really matter at this point. The judge ruled in favor of CNN. Look for Jim Acosta to be back in the White House very soon.

  2. Wow - What does Roger think? He likes his Fake News.

    1. I say let Jim back in, he can keep making a fool of himself and CNN, that's all he's doing, he represents the Left Liberals well, Hate, Resentment, Deflection, Resistance and probably a horrible drinking problem, he's the next Liberal Hero to do something stupid.... just wait for it! Besides abusing the Intern, he's going to rush the podium someday, get over it Jim, Trump is the President.... and the majority of us like it!

    2. The majority? When did that happen? It certainly wasn't on election day! (Or any day thereafter.)

    1. Who cares? He's just an ambulance-chaser who represents a porn "star." The fact that Trump slept with her and then bribed her to stay quiet says more than anything. Oh, and the fact that he lied about it.

      Delete
    2. Sounds like Bill Clinton, only he waged his finger in front of all of us and Lie Directly to our faces and to the investigators... "Who Cares at this Point What Difference Does it Make" The life of Bill and Hillary!

  5. Roger....yes, Bill Clinton did lie about an affair, but so has Trump, numerous times, even when there has been proof that he's lying. My question to you: How many other times do you know that B Clinton has lied? Now, for the biggy...how many times has Trump lied? His lies have been far more egregious than anything B Clinton has ever uttered......and there are thousands of lies of Trump's that have been verified. As far as HRC, you've taken her statement out of context and tried to make it something it wasn't. But then, maybe you don't know the difference.

    1. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair. Are you suggesting that Trump be held to the same standard, Roger? Trump not only lied about the affair, but also lied about the cover-up, and probably violated campaign finance laws doing it. Sounds like high crimes and misdemeanors to me. Fair is fair, or does The Donald deserve special treatment?

    2. Isn't that what Muller is investigating, lets see what he finds, I bet a bunch of nothing!

      If I put my 2 cents in then I might be interfering, and Protest Might break out before anything even happens, but then that might give the Liberals of Springfield something to do besides crying over a 2 year old election!

      Delete
  6. 1000's of times, is in itself a lie!

    I took the liberty of showing how both Clinton's were liars, But to say she did not care about being responsible for the deaths of 4 Americans that had given their lives so she could sit there and defame them.

    "AT THIS POINT WHAT DIFRENCE DOES IT MAKE" (to complete her sentence for her) That 4 Americans died because I needed to sleep and cover up my foot prints!

    1. Bengazi was crap, Roger. A multi-year, Republican-run, fishing expedition that found nothing. Now THAT was a witch-hunt! So was the Whitewater/Vince Foster/Lewinsky debacle. The Right has been trying to fry the Clintons for decades, without success. Even now, you still whine about them. If it was appropriate to impeach Bill Clinton for what he did, Trump deserves the same. This is based on what we already know; the findings of the Mueller investigation are extra at this point!

      Delete
    2. So you also approve of the fact that Hillary did nothing, never sent anyone from the military to try to save our Americans either.
      Nice, if it was you there, you would want some back up. Hillary was sleeping on the job and covering her tracks.

      I think the Clintons have fried themselves, now if she runs again she is going to fry the entire Democratic Party.

      Lets hear what Mueller has, we are waiting, Crickets man Crickets.

      Delete
    3. Old news, Roger. Trump's butt is on the frying pan now, or at least it will be on Jan. 1st. Even without the Mueller report, he's already committed enough offenses to be impeached, and thrown out of office. Without Paul Ryan protecting him in the House, REAL investigations will begin. I wonder how long Mitch McConnell will take the heat before he flips on Trump. Probably not long. Old Mitch would like to stick around the Senate for awhile; he won't go down with the Trumptanic. Then it will be hasta-la-byebye, Donald!

  7. Roger....obviously you don't understand what happened at Benghazi. It wasn't on HRC. It was the CIA's and DoD's baby. The covert operations at the annex were done by the CIA and overseen by Petraeus, the CIA Director. HRC had nothing to do with them. The only thing HRC had any kind of oversight responsibilty for was the DoS facility (the Mission) which usually had no Americans in it. And no covert activity was conducted from the Mission. The existence and role of the Annex was classified. Much of the information about the Annex is still classified (names of CIA personnel, etc.). It's a felony crime to reveal their names. All of that was set up by the CIA and approved by Petraeus, administered by the CIA and followed CIA policy. Because it was an annex, it did not have the same level of security as an embassy or consulate did. There were 7 different public investigations of Benghazi by Congress and a separate one overseen by a former head of the Joint Chiefs and a senior ambassador. NONE of them found HRC to be at fault. Even Trey Gowdy, who spent millions of dollars and too much time trying to nail HRC finally admitted that there was nothing that could have been done to have saved the four men who died. What don't you get about that? You spend too much time trying to make her out to be the boogey man, but you haven't been successful yet. You should be worrying about the idiot in the White House presently.

    1. Well Anonymous Its sounds like you know everything, you should have just gone to Washington and explained it all, at least from your point of view.
      I'm not worried about the man in the white house, sounds like you are, I'm more worried about HRC running again or one of the liberal progressives that will run in 2020 and think they know it all to!

    2. Sadly, it doesn't take much to know more than you, Roger.

    3. Roger.....why are you Trump people allergic to facts? It's not MY point of view; it's what actually happened. I don't have to go to Washington because anyone there with 1/2 a brain understands Benghazi. It's you people who spread and promote fake news.....more propaganda from the Trump machine. I'm not worried about Trump. He's batting about .050 right now with all his losses lately.....wait'll 2019, he'll really be a blithering idiot with all the investigations coming his way. Sounds to me like you're giving HRC props worrying she might run and WIN in 2020. Whomever (Dem. or Rep.) runs in 2020 will know far more than Trump knows. Again, he's taking Saudi Arabia's word over the CIA's and our intelligence agencies.....kicking the can down the road, again......he doesn't care what happened to Khashoggi, he's sticking with Saudi Arabia. Let's hope some of the Repubs show some spine.

    4. Don't get too upset, 12:51. Roger doesn't know anything, nor do any of Trump's dwindling supporters. I used to jump on them as a matter of principle; no lie going un-addressed. The majority of Americans are wise by now; I'm doing it mostly for fun these days. Enjoy the carnival. The clowns are all lined up in a row, just waiting to be knocked down!

    Actually, Roger, Nancy Pelosi did NOT say, "Maybe we should mow the grass..." What she did was point out that in some border areas the grass IS mowed to detect people trying to crawl across.

    What happened of course was that all the wingnut blogs-- Fox, TownHall, etc., sent along that YouTube Clip but titled it "Pelosi Proposes Mowing the Border."

    And of course everybody who sacrifices critical thought in support of Trump didn't bother to check whether it was true. I took the trouble of viewing the Youtube clip:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HejUlokevu4

    and found out just exactly what she said.

    Which means that either you don't think critically where Trump is concerned or somebody played you for a sucker when they sent you the link. I hope it's the latter.

    Isn't it amazing how the Republicans' Southern Strategy-- i.e., appeal to the fear and stoke the anger of whites to pry them away from the Democratic Party-- has produced this result, where zealots willingly blind themselves to the injuries being inflicted on them by the leader of the GOP?

    Who would have thought that one of the two major parties in America would work so hard for so long to bring about the country's destruction?
