Is this the bit where the MSM narrative tells the fans off for being uncivilised?But when @ a Trump rally the fan shouting lock her up is demonstrating passion... Heh. Trump has to get his base ginned up to start the chanting, last night was spontaneous...but fascist?!?!
Fuck right off...

(63,923 posts)these people in the media shut up and have very short memories. tRump locks up and breaks up families and locks them up, human trafficking, the ethic cleansing taking place in Syria on the Kurds, the list goes on and on. And there are so many things flying under the radar we don't know about taking place in the country.
All the more reason why he should be hearing lock him up, how many times did we hear lock her up.

(9,426 posts)tRump has no idea what the HELL he is doing, apart from showing up on TV daily, and shooting off his ugly mouth. So, I expect when the campaign starts, they will be giving tRump lots of free publicity like last time? Do they miss going to Mar-A-Fatso? Republicans are too dumb to see the truth and stick with any failure that occupies the WH with an (R) after their name.

That has nothing to do with the truly appalling, blood-chilling behavior of the inflamed Trump and Sanders partisans who wanted to imprison their leaders' opponent.

And you know what is sad.. "thank you for your service" has been so abused and used as a mindless, meaningless, insincere phrase, I wouldn't even say it to you. That's a real shame, isn't it......

The MSM, the hoi oligoi, sit in their ivory and/or glass towers and pontificate to us....the hoi polloi. Uncivilized my ass! What is uncivilized is what was done to the Clinton's or the attempt to destroy Joe Biden and his family. And certainly too many others I'm forgetting at the moment. Golly gee, maybe we should start discussing the reason we need impeachment proceedings? It's those "reasons" that are un-American, fascist and yes, certainly uncivilized. Just when I start thinking I might find a sliver of likeability in Mika and Joe, they crush that possibility at first chance.

(2,507 posts)You can see him making that turn-around almost daily, though he never was that far away from it. What I wonder is would he still be anti-Trump if Trump hadn't dissed him in the beginning, or would he be like Lindsey Graham the Trump-apologist.

(1,402 posts)Typical Fox response!!!!!!!!!! The Republicans have done terrible things to the Democrats over the years and no one ever calls them out for it. DJT and the Reps got just exactly what they deserve and have earned. They have done it to themselves. Fox news people have always been idiots.
DallasNE
(7,403 posts)I dearly loved hearing the crowd reaction to Trump, including the chant.
Intellectually I know better than the "lock him up" chant. Just because the uncivil Trump does that does not mean it is proper to stoop down to his level. Keep up the booing and the impeach Trump banner, however.

For almost 2 years, Joe and Mika helped NORMALIZE the creep who regularly hurls insults at them, and who leads "Lock Her Up" chants at his hate rallies.
Now they don't think he deserves the SAME treatment.
Sorry Joe and Mika: that's bullshit. We want the entire WORLD to hear.

(47,624 posts)In a sense, I really don't like the chant either, but it was inevitable. What goes around, comes around, and Trump is getting exactly what he deserves. Democrats tend to be more polite and reasonable as a rule, but eventually they can be pushed too far. Trump brought all this upon himself.
As for Mika and Joe, I remember 2016 too well and they catered to Trump many mornings, letting him phone the show and ramble on. Free political advertising. Where was their outrage about his divisive rhetoric and the violent behavior of his supporters? If they can't apologize for their part in this nightmare, they should just shut up.

PatSeg
(47,624 posts)The media's disdain for Clinton was so obvious throughout the campaign, but they went out of their way to televise Trump's every move or word, primarily because they thought it was good for ratings.

(10,130 posts)I do not recall a big outrage and even if what they accused Hillary of was true, which they were unable to establish whatsoever after all their bluster, it was a tenth as bad as what Trump appears likely to have done.
Some false equivalences or hypocrisy going on here.
