C'mon guys. No matter what your politics, that's hilarious.
Our president is the equivalent of some shitty internet troll, so no, it's not funny. He's not trying to be so.
C'mon guys. No matter what your politics, that's hilarious.
If he hadn't spent the last year trying to convince the entire nation that any news that does not agree with him is fake and should not be paid attention to (CNN being the biggest target), you might have a point. Good job at ignoring the context. He's just trying to make light of his fascist ways. It's truly hilarious I tell you.
But yes, it would just be a stupid meme otherwise and hardly anything to get upset over.
Pretty much. Probably explains why I haven't played almost any in a long, long time.

That's because there's a good chance that the GOP leaders like Ryan and McConnell are deep in this Russia election fiasco too.The more serious question is why GOP leadership is just taking this? Paul Ryan should resign immediately. They all should to be honest.
I hate the administration but this is hilarious.
So the president advocates violence and people find it hilarious

Why are diehard Bernie supporters always lowkey supporting Trump?
Just going to point out if Obama were to do this, he'd be vilified to hell and back more so than he already was, but you could find it funny. Why? Because Obama didn't make it a habit of shitting on the news every day and calling them fake and enemy of the people. The context is not the same let alone the implication.I agree with you entirely that being a journalist isn't always the safest job. Often it's the most dangerous possible job because you're rarely given the kind of protection that other representatives of a country are given while doing work abroad, or even while just doing work in their country of origin.
That said, I have to strongly disagree with this honestly being treated as anything other than a silly attempt at humor by someone who we already know sets new lows for acceptable behavior for a President of the United States, for which this is just one more example of. However, Trump has done and said far worse things that are worthy of heavy condemnation and criticism, and this, I really don't believe, is one of them. In light of previous statements and actions, it's certainly something that should lead to a discussion on the implications coming from a person who has, on countless occasions, advocated for violence against the media.
However, there is such a thing as overreacting and overreaching to such a degree to the smaller things that the big things end up not having the weight of consequence they should because it always seems like people are crying wolf over everything all the time. Pick your battles. This isn't a battle that is worth it. If President Obama, a President I really respect and support, did the same thing, I wouldn't criticize him at all for doing it. He's known for his sense of humor, but we also know he thinks more deeply about things before he goes out and does/says them. So when I refuse to take this as anything other than Trump, in a rare instance, learning to take himself a little less serious and being in on the joke, I'm doing so with, in my view, a level of consistency that I would apply to even a politician whom I don't absolutely despise.
And for the record, CNN is in fact a joke and something of a fraud, and has more or less been precisely that ever since President Obama was elected, and they decided that the smart thing to do was to start trying to appeal to the Fox News/Racist viewer in an attempt to boost their viewership. I still remember how disgusted I was that they effectively elevated Rush Limbaugh to the same level of deference as the new President of the United States by giving his disgusting and shameless speech so much push and uninterrupted airtime. They were drawing equivalence to then President or President Elect Obama and Rush Limbaugh, and there were heavy racial undertones and dog whistles utilized by CNN in the process of doing so, and they knew what they were doing. So while, sure, I'll be the first to cheer them on when they go after Trump, but they are a trash news organization, and have been now for years. Donald Trump is certainly not incorrect about that. He's just woefully inaccurate in his reasons for calling them what he does. There's a reason that even President Obama politely poked fun at them at the Correspondents Dinners. So, yea, I don't really care and won't lose my shit over CNN being the tail end of a dumb video/gif using a fake wrestling match where donald trump laughingly tackles and starts punching vince mcmahon.

So when a Trump supporter hurts or kills a CNN (or any) reporter in his name will you find it funny?
We'll be seeing violence against reporters soon, because we have a child as President.

Yes thats clearly why Trump loves CNN so much, so obvious, just connect the dots, pyramids , the eye
Vince McMahon is Americana.
I hate the administration but this is hilarious.
It really isn't.I hate the administration but this is hilarious.
comon' guize itz just joxe!
Don't insult Camacho that way.
12 pages and nobody posts Comancho?
You're slippin, GAF.
So the way to move on is normalizing it by dismissing how dangerous it is and calling it hilarious?I mean it is.
There are a gazillion things to really hit Trump hard on politically, such as Trumpcare, but we're going nuts about tweets. This is were the prevalence of outrage actually hurts the liberal cause. It's majoring in the minors. Moreover, we only have limited attention. Why focus on this silliness?
We're done with the expectation that Trump will respect the office from a dignity of the office perspective. He's not. He's classless. Time to move on.
I mean it is.

Your suggestion is effectively accepting and normalizing his behavior.
You must be easily amused.
If you follow your logic, by 2018 and 2020 Trump will be untouchable because all his bullshit behavior and antics will be normal and just Trump being Trump.I mean it is.
