So did WagnerPavia provide evidence about the MSM screaming bloody murder, or was he just talking out of his ass?

It turns out he worships the ground Mark Dice walks on, and it never even occurred to him to check the source named.  So strong is his faith that even when directly questioned on the subject of whether the article said anything even remotely resembling the allegation, he refuses to read the article and check.  Even when an article is posted in this thread, the absence of claimed accusations means nothing.  Any attempt to show flaws in his argument is arrogant dismissal from MSM-gorged elites.

SHHHHH!!! If you say her name, her spirit emerges from your mirror, and deletes all of your emails.

Yeah, I suppose I should be careful when talking about She Who Must Not Be Named.

So basically this thread is about a misleading video that does not properly cover the constitution which states the President has to take a salary. So the fix of course is for Trump to take the Salary and donate it to a Charity of his choice (Hopefully not the Trump Foundation).

Republicans making misleading videos?  Never happened...  I mean those planned parenthood videos had to been real!

Absolutelly not. Here is the article Mark Dice talks about:

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/11/donald-trump-salary-george-washington-214458

This time is the left that is lying like crazy and attacking Trump for no reason whatsoever, not wanting salary, eating a steak, saying gay marriage is fine, anything goes.

You guys just don´t give a damn about it, you just hate the dude and that is that.

But, like it or not, he is actually a good guy, as good as a bilionaire can be: he is not a George Soros puppet, he is not pushing a depopulation agenda, he is not into ORDER AB CHAOS.

He will not hurt the LGBT neither the christians, so you guys will have to learn to live with us and that is that.

Time to grow up.

I asked you to read that article.  Have you? 

And as I asked in my other post, "What did you think about the extremely intellectually dishonest way he completely ignored what that article said about the Washington precedent and acted as if the Politico article was unaware of it?"  That is, he points out that Washington initially said he would refuse the pay but fails to mention that Washington also subsequently accepted Congress's insistence that he take it, for reasons explained in the article.  Instead, Dice acts as if Washington's refusal was something the article was unaware of.  How do you explain this discrepancy?

Its almost like the OP thrives off creating images an extreme, irrational political opposition. No one is really talking about this and the article you posted is pretty casual in its tone (although I don't agree with it).

No need to for the left vs right, SJW have gone crazy nonsense. Lets all act like grown ups and just reinforce the issues we're currently facing.

What, like they should believe you when you can't even get your facts right?  When you post lies and spread propaganda?  Look in a mirror.  You don't fight lies with lies.  You're every bit as untrustworthy as the "MSM" you always complain about.  You are the exact same.

People have already been over this issue several times in this thread.  It is a Constitutional requirement that a sitting President take a salary, so, yeah, he's going to take one.  He already knows about the law because he has referenced it before.  Every President in our history has received a salary.  Washington took a reduced salary and a few others donated their salaries to charity.

“Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no,” Trump said. “I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.”  http://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-donald-trump-say-hed-refuse-to-take-a-salary-as-president/

This is a non-issue despite you pretending people are "going crazy".

Pokoko, the fact is: whatever Trump says or does, the media finds a way to say that it was evil. In the salary case, man, the passive agressive attacks where there, as subtle as the subject demanded in the MSM, and screaming bloody murder in the feminist SJW blogosphere. This is a constant.

They are doing the same over Trump having a steak dinner with his family and saying gay marriage is "fine".

There is no "lies against lies" as you say. I gave you guys the original report, I gave you the headlines, you all have Google. I will not list blogs that will get me banned for "being mysogin, listing gay sites to badmouth them" as I did in the past and it got me banned. I know better now. Sure, you guys can still ban me, but it will be without cause, I may be a idiot but surely I have enough cognitive capacity to learn from negative  imput reinforcement.

You may wanna look up that word, because it doesn't mean what you think it means.

fact: Trump was elected president

opinion: the media finds a way to say that it was evil

It's ironic that the majority of the freaking out seems to be from people freaking out over the so-called "SJW problem" they think the world has.

I know, right? 'member the good old times when we used to treat women like garbage and it was ok? Or people of colour and gays?

Then these evil SJW appeared and they ruined everything.

They are clearly the worst.

Did you actually read the article or even understood the context and content.  If you believe that article is somehow an attack on Trump then I have to ask if English is your first language.  The first part is easy enough.  The Constitution says the President should take a salary and there is a specific reason why so he should.  He takes the salary because we the Tax payers are payingt him to do his Job as POTUS.  Once he has the money he can do whatever he wants like give it to charity which makes him look good.

The second part is the same part we have discussed during Trump run for POTUS.  Putting his Children as head of his businesses does not seperate Trump enough from his businesses and the Job of President.  The reason this is a big conflict of interest is that any policy, negotiations and deals the President does domestic and international will have the shade that it also benefits his business and thus gains him millions while in office.  Clinton Cash is a prime example of this type of conflict of interest.  If Trump want the nation, not only the people who voted for him but also the people that did not to believe he is serious about being President and not just helping his own hand then he has to give up his businesses and any conflict of interest.  Setting up a blind trust with his children still running the company defeats the whole blind trust part.  This would be no different if Hillay won and her husband or daughter still runs the Clinton Foundation.  

As to whether Trump is a good guy, exactly where is that coming from.  I believe you really do need to do your homework on Trump before making such a statement because Good is not a term even Trump would use for himself.  Hell, he himself has said he *was* a very greedy man.  If this change has happen then we will see but I am not feeling it from his choices for his team.  Either way, its go time for President Trump.  He will either show he has no self interest but instead the good of the people and the country or not.  It still baffles me why people think Trump is some type of good businessman or even good man in general.  I would like to see evidence of this part that did not start a year and half ago.

Both parties rob the poor. It's very obvious that, while they are generally considered by most to be bitter enemies, they are actually pretty amicable towards each other, as they do whatever they can to ensure that a third party is unable to succeed.

I dont think there is need for a 3rd party because the dems and republicans change with the people.

For example, dems are REALLY pushing socialism and social justice now. Which is why I'm personally turned off by them.

Republicans are becoming more moderate in my opinion.

A third party isnt pushing anything the masses seem to care about or agree with.

The Democrats, socialist? They are neo-liberals to the core. I assume that you're referring to Bernie Sanders and his supporters, but they falsely call themselves socialist. Why, I have no idea, but they are actually social democrats, not socialists.
