Donald Trump and US politics

[ There's a pretty good Mark Dice video about how he's not mocking the reporter's disability. Technically, though, the headline is accurate if misleading: Trump was mocking him.

Yup I saw Trump using that type of gestures many time to mimic people who mock him... medias just love making extrapolations and lies.

I think it is a good gif to apply for all SJW who are making bad arguements and false assumptions using their feelings.

Wasn't the only time he did that on CNN, either.

Youre saying he didnt mock a disabled person? Lol. This thread brings lulz all day.

He did mock him, but not for his disability. So it's perfectly fine.

it's like when he called Rosy O'donnel a fat slog. It was ok, because it isn't all women... just Rosy O'donnel.... and she's really a fat slog so yeah.

I stopped eating meat last year after watching this http://www.cowspiracy.com/

Both are irresponsible if they eat meat.

The Cowspiracy infographic claims livestock "meat and dairy" use 1/3 of fresh water supply.



The USA raises ~10% of world's livestock. The rest of the world raises 90%
So, if water usage was equal per livestock, we would expect to see the world use nine times as much water as the USA.

If the US total fresh water usage is a little over 1 billion cubic meters (3), and less than 1% of that (4) goes towards raising roughly 10% of the world's livestock (5)....
And the rest of the world is using 9086 (9087-1) billion cubic meters of fresh water (1)
and 33% of the world's world's fresh water usage is towards live stock (2),
Then it means the rest of the world is using 2,998 billion cubic meters of fresh water to raise the 90% of livestock

Divide that by nine to get 10% of livestock so we can compare with the USA's 10% production of livestock

so we have the world using 333.11 billion cubic meters (lets round to 300)
The US is using .01 X 1 billion cubic meters or .01

300 divided by .01 = 30,000

So the graphic showing 33% usage is telling us that the rest of the world needs
Thirty Thousand times as much water to raise livestock?

If so, then the solution isn't going vegan, it's fixing the way the rest of the world does things. Do people in the rest of the world need thirty thousand times as much water to shower or brush their teeth too?

(5) trying to pull data from numerous sources, including US vs world Cattle data, meat consumption, livestock raised worldwide - seemed to generate between 8-11% 10% is my best guestimate without spending hours. Even if the factor was 5% or 1% the 30,000 figure would still be 15,000 or 3,000 times as high.

This is an example of why the MSM gets labeled as Fake News so frequently.

Showing this to generate controversy:


Instead of this:

"I was asked to take a certain angle and was doing exactly that," Conway said.

And our very fake news friend CNN? They didn't even want the public to see who Trump was meeting with, so this is their version of the photo:

Comparing pictures 1 and 3, I'm not sure if there has been some photoshopping to whitewash Trump's guests race or not....

It's funny because feminists on Twitter are mocking her for not sitting "lady-like". Can't make this shit up.

Really?

http://edition.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/02/28/kellyanne-conway-oval-couch-photo-orig-vstan.cnn

That's the live link. It, unlike the archive link, actually has all the content the page contains. Including the more accurate picture you complain that CNN didn't use.

Whoops.

What you're calling subterfuge is something that you wouldn't see unless you explicitly bypassed the website. It's a fairly vapid news story, but what you're claiming is just bizarre.

Also, people seriously believe that Trump didn't mock Serge Kovaleski, and didn't do so explicitly in a way that targeted his arthrogryposis? Because it's all there. On video. Blatantly obvious. It's kind of mind-boggling to me how anyone could choose not to see it.

Those are Trump's go-to mocking gestures. It looks bad regarding Kovaleski because he has arthrogryposis so Trump shouldn't have done it, but I'm pretty sure he is not mocking his disability.
