Trump and Kegsbreath to allow Qatar to establish a military air force base in the state of Idaho

[Rightguide]

George may have lied. He may have misspoken. He may have simply not known. But they resolved it.
The other case didnt amount to anytrhing, ie, covered his legal fees and no admission of guilt or apology. And 16 million vs 787 million is...well...worth noting.

but you are right in that, if they had blatantly lied...they should be held accountable.

Too bad they didnt have a history of lying for years and years huh?

They have been lying to you for decades. That's why you have the outlook you have now.

To add to what @Bray123 wrote:

Lets review:

-Twitter? Thats a right-wing site now. Everything on that site is either merely an opinion, only partly true and/or skewed to represent their base, or completely untrue and laughable. So everyone has an opinion on Twitter's info...either you are drinking the kool-aid or not. But its full of complete bs.
-Meta/Facebook? No fact-checking at all anymore so that is immaterial and any sane person would never consult that site for actual facts. ITs not a news site. Like Twitter. Anyone can post anything there now. Deep fakes, 100% lies, whatever.
-Disney is ABC News, and also it was not lying, a couple words that were misspoken and/or exaggerated etc. Trump sued ABC News in federal court in Florida after George Stephanopoulos incorrectly stated on-air that Trump had been found "liable for rape". In fact, a jury had found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, not rape.
-60 Minutes and CBS news is Paramound Global...so once again you are just trying to add names to make a long list when its actually repetitive. Paramount settled the lawsuit for $16 million, which covered Trump's legal fees. The remaining money was designated for his future presidential library (thats a lot of picture books and Dr. Seuss!). As part of the agreement, Paramount also committed to releasing transcripts of interviews with presidential candidates after they air. The settlement did not include an apology from CBS or Paramount. The settlement was highly criticized by many journalists and press freedom advocates, who saw it as a chilling capitulation to political pressure. It led to the resignation of 60 Minutes Executive Producer Bill Owens, who said he felt he had lost his editorial independence.

So...the bulk of those are just Trump bullying the networks because they show less favorable sides of him than they did of Harris or Biden etc the networks simply paid off a minimal amount with no admission of guilt.

Just quick comment on Twitter/X and Meta/FB. Unlike Disney & Paramount, they are social media platforms, not content (news & entertainment) creators, and users self-select who to follow.

Although many left leaning people left Twitter when Musk acquired it, there are still plenty on the left still there. There was a brief time when some thought Threads and/or Bluesky would become viable alternatives but that didn’t happen.

Facebook has actually gotten a lot less political. Users are tired of arguing and losing friends. A lot more family posts, vacations, music sharing and stuff like that.

You may have some truths in your statement. No side is innocent, certainly.
But what cannot be argued, IMHO, is that a free and independent media is a must for democracy to flourish and unfortunately, the winds are blowing the other way. Perhaps it is a case of self correction but I somehow doubt that.

Who the hell uses Facebook now except the marketplace aspect? It had its day, "kids" dont use it, its only for the older generations to connect with family on the other side of the country/world...or to see political memes to reinforce their perception of Trump or his enemies.

funny, only Fox is banned in the UK, only Fox has had to pay hundreds of millions for lying, but sure, no worries, yer right...the other networks are lying to the public about the USA didnt land on the moon, 9/11 was an inside job, the Earth is flat, the Founding Fathers and the Illuminati on the One dollar bill are real, chemtrails are sprayed for some evil purpose...and then the others you probably believe like Tylenol causing autism, climate change is fake, QAnon and the Satanic worshipping of pedophiles and sex-traffickers and so on. Makes perfect sense to me.

Yep. I’m one of those older generation types (mid 60s) who uses it to stay connected with family and really old friends of a similar vintage. My millennial kids don’t use it.

One other comment to add on media news…podcasts and streaming platforms can be great for long form information. One of my daily programs is The Morning Meeting, streamed on the 2WAY platform and also accessible as a podcast. Moderated by former ABC reporter Mark Halperin, with Democrat Dan Turrentine and Republican Sean Spicer. The format is based on the morning meetings news organizations have each day to review the stories to focus on. Fantastic for people who like to follow US politics.

The plan was initiated under the Biden administration.

[icanhelp1]

Yes, the outlets you mention all are openly right leaning. Whether it’s an overtly right wing or overly left wing source, you need factor the bias when evaluating a story. And even media sources that try frame themselves as impartial need to carefully scrutinized.

If you googled an issue for a source you'd be hard pressed to find Blaze, Breitbart or OANN in the first 40 media sources. I'm sure most people aren't being swayed by the likes of the Blaze.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

It’s always hilarious to watch the left pop chaff about how they aren’t biased! . Now that they havre actually had to pay out huge sums of money for outright fabrications is even more juicy.

Give me any one of the alphabet soup of networks and I’ll show you bias and lying. We can start with the Deplorable, scandal ridden, 60mins…the standard bearers of cbs news. They’re so cross pollinated with biased “journalists” they practically drip with smugness and liberal bias.

The link mentions it but doesn’t really go into RatherGate. That’s a perfect snapshot of Legacy Liberal Media (LLM) bias in what used to be called the October Surprise. For those youngsters amongst us, this was the lead anchor for cbs nightly news that attempted to put his fat thumb on the scale to sway a national election…a lot like the RussiaGate scandal that is slowly being unraveled.

Jimmy Comey will shed more light on that very soon…we can revisit the “media” bias during that illegal endeavor.

I’d push back on this assertion just a tad. While I don’t disagree those outlets wont be found anywhere near the top of a “the google” search, these outlets and other alternative media sources sure helped push President Trump on to victory last November.

The media landscape has changed. We adapted, they didn’t.

For the record, George did not hold Trump liable of rape, he stated a jury found him liable for rape, basically convicted of rape which was a falsehood. Big difference. He settled the defamation suit because he didn't have a leg to stand on. imho

Words matter.

Environmental Impact Assessments are pre-construction documents. They’re required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) before the Department of Defense can approve or break ground on major facilities, especially those involving foreign militaries. So, if the EIA “outlines plans for the beddown of Qatari F-15QA aircraft and personnel” and “expected operations to begin in early FY2024,” that means The study and planning were underway by 2022–2023 (EIA documents take months, often years, to complete and circulate). Therefore, initial authorization or at least exploration likely began under the Biden administration, not Trump.

Planning and authorization aren’t the same as approval and execution, which did occur later under Secretary Hegseth. However the post you questioned is correct. Now, would you like a bottle of Astroglide to help you stick all of that where it belongs?

Speaking of media bias…except “the media” was up against the most eloquent thinker we’ve seen in the last 30 yrs. Notice how the utterly contemptible pbs/cbs shill coving for the equally contemptible Slick Willie tries his best to undermine Hitch’s message.

Ol’ Charlie boy famously flamed out in the PoundMe2 movement as his creepy sexual harassing ass was summarily fired from the aforementioned outlets.

First, no one is sitting through 30 minutes of video. Second, you went back over 20 years when you could’ve been more relevant and timely talking about trump and Epstein but I get why you would not want to do that.

Benedict Donald™ and Pickled Pete Kegsbreath™ continue to show there is really no bottom when it comes to MAGA chicanery.

The Trump administration announced this morning that they will allow the government of Qatar to establish their own sovereign military air force base on continental American soil.....a first in the long history of America.

This base will be governed by both Sharia and Qatari military law.

The purpose of this air force base is ostensibly train Qatari military fighter jet pilots on state-of-the-art American fighter jets recently sold to Qatar by American aircraft manufacturers

The Trump administration will presumably give the government of Qatar the locations of all American synagogues within the striking range of these Qatari aircraft, and designate all space overhead of these house of worship as "strictly no fly zones". (wink, nudge)

Local Idaho "freedom fighter" Rightguide (formerly known as Vetteman) was seen earlier today getting his "wolverines" jacket out of his storage unit before stopping at his local guns and ammo shop inquiring about the availability of shoulder-fired stinger missiles.

I have to admit this is a novel strategy for keeping rogue authoritarian theocracies from unilaterally bombing other countries in the Middle East without fear of consequence.

There's a lot of bullshit there.
The Qatari's will have space on Mountain Home, AFB for the purpose of training their pilots and support crews. It will not be an independant base in the hands of a foreign nation. The Rep. of Singapore have been on the base in the same manner since 2008.

 

[stxjimmy]

Wait till these idiots find out we’ve been training the world to fly, oh, for at least 50 yrs…. When I was in we even trained the Egyptians AND Israelis…just not at the same time!

There is this place where you can find all this knowledge…

Like when you trained Saudi freelancers with no forethought or regulation and look what happened then.

 

[dmallord]

Recall that Paramount Global, CBS News 60 Minutes, ABC News, Twitter, Meta, Disney, have all been successfully sued by Donald Trump amounting to millions in payments, for lying to you about him.

They settled out of court as Trump did numerous times. In all those times he faced court actions, he said he won bigly, even after paying the settlements imposed, and claimed he wasn't convicted. Of course not, it didn't go to trial. Same with those companies you want to 'recall.'

They paid a few peanuts' worth of funds to appease his ego and continued doing business as usual with negligible effects.

Well, to be fair, I think everyone took the initial story at face value and then hegseth himself had to rush in and do a correction.
Even with the cleanup and clarification, it's still a bad look considering the numerous ties between Qatar and trump and Qatar and financed terror.

 

[Lazaran]

All I know is that @LilKitKat just tore through every MAGAt on the PB like the paper puppies that they are.

@LilKitKat served their right wing bullshit back to them cold, in a doggie dish after leading them to it by their leashes.

Beat me to it.

I would like to add: Singapore is NOT QATAR.

And after the 400 MILLION DOLLAR QATARI JET SCANDAL, it is a very bad look indeed.

(Before that ^ scandal, it was still a bad look)
