Crossposted from Trump Admin Thread:

Interesting and disturbing to see how things look inside the right wing media bubble.

I went on to Freep to see how the Merkel handshake snub was being discussed.

First of all I had to look hard to even find a single thread on the topic.

In that thread there is a photo, posted by many, of Trump taking Merkel's hand when she is first getting out of the car in front of the White House, and they had a handshake there before going in for the meeting.

So I'm presuming the post meeting photo op was the deliberate snub because he was displeased by the discussion, something pissed him off so he decided to snub her publicly afterwards in a fit of pique.

But because right wing articles circulate that one photo, the other event never happened and is FAKE NEWS. Most righties would never read an article or watch the video to even see it.

Kind of scary.

quote:

Still, Hannity's version of entertainment can go too far. Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams' body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)

...

"Sean Hannity has been trained in firearm safety since he was 11 years old and has a license to carry a gun in five states, including New York," Fox News said in a statement to CNNMoney. "The situation was thoroughly investigated and it was found that no one was put in any danger." (The spokesperson said the incident took place in October 2016.)

Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore.
If Hannity paid for that alleged firearm safety training, he should demand a refund because the teacher obviously didn't do a very good job. I'm not even a gun person, and I know very well that THE VERY FIRST loving GODDAMN THING THEY TEACH YOU is that "All guns are loaded."

Hannity is the "that guy" that constantly asks how much you can squat/bench and what MMA/new manly workout fad you do.

The 100% black ops super secret solid snake training he paid for was probably him playing action man on a playground.

National Review types I imagine who are fans of immigration and free trade because it lines the pockets of their overlords.


Random note: I kind of had a faint sliver of hope and praise for the National Review because they had several articles denouncing the Alt-Right and Trump supporters. Then I got an email from them about SJW's and then so I stopped giving them even that smidgen of respect.

All this bitching at each other is fun to look at but if there's one thing I've learned from the last election, the Right have no spine. Different philosophies and principles be damned, everyone will fall in line when it matters. This is not RWM but I thought this was a really good article and I wish I could be as naive now as I was when I read it.

Yeah most of the conservatives I know IRL denounce all congressmen as being too liberal and are on board with Trump while at the same time denouncing the alt-right and white nationalism. I think the only thing keeping them from embracing racism is that it doesn't jive with their self-image thanks to the general cultural perception that conscious racism is tacky and unsophisticated. Any time Richard Spencer or /pol/ comes up, one of my conservative friends handwaves them away with "they're harmless frustrated losers" -- if the prevailing cultural attitude that white supremacy is the domain of hicks and virgins goes away, hoo boy we will be in for some poo poo.

Hannity also thinks showing your gun to cops at traffic stops is how black people should make those situations safer so maybe he was just trying to make Williams feel comfortable and that he had nothing to fear.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, President Donald Trump mentioned a “talented lawyer” who spoke on Fox News and immediately certain news outlets said that Mark Levin was the one Trump was referring to. That was not Mark but Judge Napolitano. This shows how corrupt, partisan, incompetent, and diabolical the media in this country is. They cannot help but lie deceive and insinuate, because Mark exposed them.

The media needs to be held to account on the so called Trump and Russia ties. They have been caught red handed including the New York Times, the Guardian, CNN, BBC and others. You have to be the lowest of the low to promote a left wing meme that somehow the Russians were in collusion with Trump. They keep pushing it out there to delegitimize Trump and his election.

We know that Barack Obama wasn’t wiretapping Trump’s phone calls. Now we want to know if the media’s past reports on Russia and Trump collusion are true. Now the media is trying to reverse course. Were they lying to the American people or were they telling the truth?

After that, 5 judges on the 9th circuit went out of their way to rebuke their 3 colleagues on the 9th Circuit panel who decided to block Trump’s travel ban. The judges who blocked Trump now are applauded for what they do by the liberal media. This is a rogue judiciary and tyranny. If we can’t rely on judges to be judges, we are living in a third world banana republic.

The backpedaling would be hilarious if I didn't have friends gullible enough to believe this horseshit.

So right wing sources from Breitbart to LifeSiteNews have been calling for boycotts on Beauty and the Beast. One petition had 133,000 signatures.

Welp

quote:

Disney's live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast has delivered a film the size of a summer blockbuster in the month of March, debuting with not only a record-setting March opening weekend, but the seventh largest domestic opening of all-time as Disney now owns six of the top seven opening weekends of all-time.


With an estimated $170 million, Beauty and the Beast topped the previous March opening weekend record of $166 million set by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice just last year. It's also the seventh largest opening weekend ever, ahead of the $169.1 million opening for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and just behind Iron Man 3's $174.1 million opening from May of 2013. It's also the largest opening for a PG-rated film, topping Finding Dory's previous record of $135 million, as well as the largest Spring opening weekend, fourth largest Saturday gross of all-time, sixth largest Sunday gross and eighth largest theater average for a wide opening release.

Nor for mine! We saw The Shack instead. Not theologically sound, pushes "diversity" in a way that is stupidly obvious, and some of the acting was terrible, but it's a beautiful film nonetheless if you take it as an allegory and enjoy it as an exploration of the healing power of forgiveness. I figure it's a good attempt and Hollywood should know that there's a market for faith-oriented movies.
