Ooo! Ooo! Don't forget completely destabilized Libya after Khadaffi gave up pursuit of nuclear weapons!

That was a huge accomplishment.

(And it really angers me no one seems to care about that, beyond the murdering of our ambassador.)
"We came, we saw, he died". Staying classy there.
Also, thanks for opening the floodgates for every welfare seeker from Africa to pass through Libya and attempt to get to Europe. Almost makes me wonder who was really the mastermind of toppling Khadaffi.

There was some disruption in Egypt also.

Rex Tillerson is actually draining a swamp.

Naturally the lifers at State don't appreciate it.

Hopefully this continues to happen and happens across all agencies.
Wow, I don't know if a negative article like this has ever made me feel better.  I love how toward the end he acts like gutting the State Dept bureaucracy is the same as destroying the country.

This is MAGAnificent. Naturally all the right people people went ape-poo over it. Exactly as intended.

I don't know how Twitter works so I hope that link up there stays current.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/index.html

CNN found the guy who made that animated GIF and is threatening him if he releases anything else.

"The Reddit user who initially claimed credit for President Donald Trump's tweet that showed Trump tackling CNN issued an apology Tuesday for the video and other offensive content he posted -- one day after CNN identified the man behind the account and attempted to make contact with him."

"CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change."

They're not even trying to hide the fact that they are solely not exposing him because he cowered under their threats.

And CNN reporter, despite the threat being specifically in the article, claims CNN didn't threaten anyone:

Again, these people are incompetent, ignorant, and stupid. Let's add vile to that as well.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Rumour has it that HanA**holeSolo is a minor (15 yo), and that 4chan is about to go all Shia LaBouef, et al. on CNN..

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

That did sound a bit like they were stirring up a hornet's nest by going after someone online.  That is going over the line of decent behavior.

Yup. I could not believe this story when I read it. Even people who despise Trump are taking a sledge hammer to CNN.

I have to wonder if their entire staff was high when they came up with this. They are actually proud of their statement where they talk about him "profusely apologizing", making it sound like he got down on his knees offering blowjobs if only the great CNN would forgive him, when in actuality, their statement pretty much alludes to a threat by them scaring the crap out of some random Joe.

It's not just David and Goliath, It's David and malevolent Goliath. Which is one of the reasons the Internet is now full of memes making fun of CNN. Nobody likes a bully. Everyone hates a self-righteous bully.

This is how you get Trump.

Maybe someone can dig up all the stories I am sure CNN has done about bullying in the past.  Anti-bullying campaigns were in vogue recently.

Trump to end Obama's college witch hunts.

The body of the article doesn't seem to align with the headline. Reading the article, it seems more like the Trump administration "may" reduce the pressure on universities to conduct witch hunts. There's still massive pressure from the SJWs of the world, so what's really needed is for the administration to issue new regulations that enforce the principle that an accused is innocent unless proven to be guilty.

Quote
In January, a panel of college presidents said they would uphold the Obama-era guidance even if Trump’s OCR overturned it. States such as California, Mississippi, and others are working on bills to codify into law Obama’s harmful policies. It will take a while before society remembers that due process is a constitutional right and necessary to seeking justice, rather than an impediment.

If not, heck, I bet he could arrange some personal protection from other Trump supporters, post his own ID and dare CNN to come up with anything else to threaten him with.

This is how you get Trump.

Their current position is that it was added by some unknown editor or whatnot. And obviously is not meant to be taken as a threat. Which may be true. But the way it is written and the context of the article, sure as hell makes it sound like a threat.

Especially when CNN spent so much time making it clear they're very pleased with the heretic recanting of his heresy and promising to never never make fun of them ever again.

Makes me wish I had the talent and know-how to make derogatory CNN memes and videos. I'd be churning them out by the dozen.
Come get some CNN.

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.

They've done some anti-bullying stories quite recently. They're about Trump bullying them with his mean, nasty words, and tweeted gifs.

And those aren't the only two places.  While MSNBCNN was going all BatCrapCrazy over Mika and a poorly done WWE gif.  He signed the "Fire the Bad Employees at the VA" Law.  He also signed the VA Whistleblowers Protection Act.

I foresee more actions like this at the other agencies.
