Media Tries to Get Troops in Trouble For Having Trump Sign Autographs, Didn’t Care When Obama Did It
MenRec ^ | 12/29/2018

The media has been in a frenzy since President Trump paid a surprise visit to troops in an Iraqi combat zone, outraged that some soldier had sought autographs from their commander in chief.

They said little when both Barack and Michelle Obama made similar gestures to the troops.

Newsweek went so far as to seek out an Obama appointed former White House ethics chief to call the President’s actions in signing such as items as MAGA hats, “truly disgusting.”

“Trump’s engaging in campaign activity during this trip is on Trump and Trump alone,” Walter Shaub raged. “Disgusting. Truly disgusting. Shame!”

A Bloomberg reporter snitched on one soldier who was holding a Trump flag.

CNN piled on by suggesting the troops – serving and risking their lives in a combat zone – should be punished for their actions.

As with a vast majority of media coverage in America, the things that outrage reporters in the era of Trump are the same things they flat-out ignored during Barack Obama’s time as Senator and President.

...

By contrast, the image above shows then-Senator Obama campaigning in July of 2008 and autographing “memorabilia for servicemembers at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.”

The second image shows former First Lady Michelle Obama signing magazines featuring her on the cover for the Third Infantry Division Soldiers at Fort Stewart, Georgia in 2012.

Did any media members attempt to get those soldiers in trouble for allegedly violating DOD guidelines? No, and rightfully so.

As with everything else, there is an example of Obama doing the same damn thing Trump has, and the media never gave a rip.

The criminal/treasonous MSM would not care
if Michelle were a man, OR if the Obolas
brought Ebola and paralytic infectious diseases
into the USA, OR if they sold out America to Iran.

The MSM is beyond simply complicit.

Just Jealous.

They, too, wish they could write in cursive, as well as read it. Too bad they learned only to block print (showing themselves to be BLOCKHEADS)

I bet these guys packed a Trump item years ago figuring Trump would drop by at some point as they could get a signature.

Liberals seem proud of their hypocrisy, they employ it so often.

My wife works for the State. One of her co-workers was going to get an award of some type. She refused it because it would have been signed by the Republican governor.

Liberals are nuts, Jim.

Maybe just to hear you whine.

I am not a huge fan of HG when it comes to blog pimping, but thatsite is a freakin nightmare. It looks like a Vegas casino on LSD with all of the flashing shit and pop ups.

Does anyone comeback to that mess after going to it once?

I hope you get paid well by your Chinese overlords—because that is the only person who could stand that assault on their senses.

Or maybe because he's a scumsucking blogpimp trying
to drive traffic to his cheesy little blog for beer money.

I suppose there are many possibilities, aren't there?

Indeed there are. Including the fact that Mr. Robinson didn't delegate you to be a board monitor.

Find an interesting article to post or opine on an issue instead of squatting in your hole and popping up only to snark at others.

I just checked the list of folks who can give me orders.
Unfortunately you are still not on it.

I'll keep checking though.

Please do. See if you can find where Mr. Robinson appointed you Hall Monitor.

BTW, that was a suggestion that your paranoia elevated to an order. That's what happens when you squat in a hole all day, marinating in your own bile, waiting to spot a blog pimp.

I imagine it's somewhere on the same page where he appointed you to monitor my posts.

Go fetch, Zippy.

I don't don't monitor your posts. They pop up like zits and mar any thread you deem to be posted by a dreaded Blog Pimp.

Go fetch, Zippy.

You can go back in now, recess is over.

So slither back out behind the chicken place where you belong.

Adults are speaking and you have trash to sort through.
