CNN should be part of the suit. The on-air anchor or producer should have called Bowman on his statements. They could have chosen not to air those comments. They didn't so they are complicit in his slander and defamation.

I see you purposely dodged my question regarding Reagan. I’m going to assume you liked him as a president since a lot of Republicans do, myself included, but I find it funny you dismiss Trump as a “New York liberal” but probably fail to remember Reagan was a Hollywood liberal before taking the presidency.
And yet he’s considered to be one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century.

Again, you’re too rigid. Take a step back and get a bird’s eye view of things.
Think big picture for once.

Who? What people? Why are you replying to my post to complain about this?

It’s trashy and needlessly abrasive but that honestly describes the vast majority of posters here.

Why are you replying to me to complain about this?

so you think calling black people the N-word is no big deal, right?

Thats the logic youre using.


Calling someone who appeared to honor Nazis a Nazi is not the same as calling someone the n word. But you already know this.

I could easily make an argument that the Nazi one is even worse, in terms of the net “injury” involved. In the particular case of being called a Nazi it damages public perception and to some extent or another lowers your “value” in the public mind…..financially and morally. Unjustifiable and incorrect accusations in this instance.

I'm not a Republican anymore and certainly was never an 80s California Republican. Reagan made a lot of really good decisions, and a lot of really bad decisions. I don't find him to be some holy grail for conservatism like some do, so you can forget about whatever nonsensical comparison you think you're making here.

Regardless, Trump is nowhere near Ronald fricking Reagan.

No it isnt. Its just words. Why does it hurt their little feelings? Remember when you said the same thing?

Just take the L.
Everyone will make mistakes, Trump included. You ought to be thanking the fricking stars that Kamala didn’t win though.
You seem whiny and entitled. Perfect is the enemy of the good.

Oh drop the act. It’s funny those posts made it by all the same posters who jump into posts like these.

It’s another classic case of ignoring it when it gets a start… but acting high and mighty when the return volley happens.

You tried, and failed.

Your problem is that you think team politics carries weight. That bullshite doesn't mean a damn thing to me. When elites are fricking this country over, it doesn't make one bit of difference which letters they pick to put in front of their names on ballots.

Then stop being a bitch and own them. Learn from them. That's what competent leaders do. Shifting blame and pretending they were done on purpose as some sort of long game that never materializes is weak as frick, and anyone else would be called out for it.
