He did not. The person that donated the $15 to the democrats was a 69 year old Pittsburgh man with the same first and last name (different middle name). But the media doesn’t double check these things anymore before “putting it out there”. And the media wonders why it isn’t trusted anymore.
The whole thing smells.... I can't let go of the "Movie clichè" only the ear hit, like wasn't there even one camera on the other side that would show in slow motion how it hit the ear and I would e able to let it go. Like if I go to the park to take a piss in a bush there is at least one camera pointed at me so...
Freedom of speech is a thing that is absolutely right. But freedom to spread lies and propaganda should be punishable. Because it is not a right. It's dangerous
At least for a leader or a person of influence(then if its a teacher or content creator or a rich person or someone in government). Those in the position can always fact check when writing speeches and content creators/influencers/famous people should learn to think before they speak. At least the media outlet that then shows what they say should be forced to fact check. Not that hard to place a big "false information" stamp over the video so that no one can miss it. I can't still let go of the time when a 35 year old woman(from Finland) and a 50 year old woman(from Sweden) tried to convice me that 90% of all men a rapists. I argued the fact with them for hours and even pointed at other men in the pub "So he is one then?" and they said no in some cases and yes in others but they only picked like 30% still. Still it never hit them that they themselves excluded most men from being one but still stayed true to the 90% fact they had heard. It was a fact they had learned probably on the internet or from something like TikTok. I know its not that of a big deal but when simple things like this goes wrong that people themselves should realise is false. Its like someone believing that an apple wont fall from the tree if not disturb by something, then they sit and watch the tree and when the apple falls they come up with excuses why it fell instead of accepting the reality that apples do fall from the tree without something disturbing it.
I don’t think the US press, on average, is good enough, fair enough, or trusted enough to get this out to enough of the public. Also, I don’t trust enough of the US voters to figure it out by themself.
It never ceases to amaze me how "low info" many people are when they still for some reason get all riled up about politics but most of what they say is just parroted lies.
Adam Mockler on Meidas Touch channel pointed out that the donation to Progressive Turnout Pac was given by a 69 year old man who shared the name of Matthew Crook. I’ll put the link in your Discord under Pictures & Videos. Ope! You got there…
Excellent job Jonathan. I will say I never heard a politician referred to as fascistic until trump. A war monger yes a corporate shill yes. Anyway as always very on point.
In one ear, out the other. No damage done. It made me have an epiphany though. I could never understand why trump is so popular over in America. Now that more info is coming out about the shooter I realized things America is famous for are bullying, a love for guns and school shootings. These are all things that trump stands for. Yet to me this was another sad event that doesn't make America great but could have been prevented if there were better gun laws and bullying was less prevalent. No isolated incident is correct.
Really? Trump et. al. "stand for school shootings?" I see Mr JP loved your comment, too. Does that mean he's in agreement w/ all your claims? I can't stand him either nor will I vote for him, but statements like that & those who love the statements are showing their absolute ignorance.
@@Lyle-In-NO Why do you think everything is binary? You're making assumptions. Yeah because he pressed the heart button that means he's in full agreement with absolutely everything the comment said? You picked out a single thing out of the entire comment. Use some critical thinking buddy.
@@america1stpatriot127 Talk about trolling... a guy called america1stpatriot talking about the "pro ukraine crowd" like it's a us vs them tribe thing, my tribe vs your tribe... on a pro-ukraine, but more like pro morals which is in effect pro-ukraine, philosophical channel. And don't tell me you're pro Ukrainian.
Trump just chose JD Vance as his running mate.......these are some quotes from Vance about Trump......... “I’m a Never Trump guy,” Vance said in an interview with Charlie Rose in 2016, a clip used in both the new ads. “I never liked him.” Both ads also feature a screenshot of a Vance tweet from October 2016. “My god what an idiot,” he wrote, referring to Trump. Vance expressed a similar sentiment in other interviews and since-deleted tweets from that time, including publicly mulling the idea of supporting Hillary Clinton, calling Trump “noxious” and “reprehensible.”
He was also the most vocal against Rump at one point.... and the Repubs called Kerry a flip flopper.... they are the flip floppiest SOB... I mean I have maintained for 4.5 years Biden is too old and too corporate. Anyone but these Geriatric document hoarders.
You have repeatedly said about what happens when someone whose world view is contested by truth. You've said that people who do change views can become the most ardent critics of their former world views if you combine that with access to weapons and opportunity 🤷
If YOU got hurt during a live event, and wanted to let the audience to know that you were okay, what possible phrases in our English lexicon might be the first to enter your head? I'm okay, I'm not hurt, I'm fine, don't worry? Or do you think FIGHT, FIGHT? Fight _what,_ exactly? Just because the mouth makes a certain shape when a word is said doesn't mean that's the word being said. Don't let your own perception of Trump put words into his mouth. Between the two times it _LOOKS_ like he said 'fight', his lips purse together like he said _'I'M'._ I've watched it numerous times in slow-motion to make sure. Please do so yourself, thinking both phrases as he says it.
@@ATPGeo It's what I've heard commentators saying, but I've not heard from his mic or from the people in close hearing distance of him. (there is a better descriptive word than 'hearing distance', but it wouldn't be decent of me to use) Even the vocalisation of fine could be misconstrued as fight, especially if the person speaking is being manhandled by secret service agents, and everyone nearby is scared, shouting, screaming, distracted and looking for the shooter and avenues of safe escape. This is one time that I'd be highly doubtful that someone could hear one person's exclamation, however loud they were, amongst such a maelstrom of fear. I'm not saying he _did for certain_ say one or the other, but from everything I've learned about the anatomy of the muscles we use to speak (I wanted to be a comic artist in my youth, so learned as much about anatomy as possible) I'm leaning toward my own brainfart.
He said 'Bullseye' in a private meeting in how they were structure thier ads. Ie focus on Trump. Meanwhile Trump has literally outright called for violence against his political opponents at every rally he has had.
Thank you Jonathan ❤ Love to all ❤ 🫂 From what I've seen, most Republicans online are ignoring everything that doesn't fit their beliefs about the awful events at the rally.
@nikkiowen since you''ve made the broad claim "most", do tell us how many Republicans you have documented views for online. otherwise, you're talking outta your hat
Tis a shame he had the emblem of Demolition Ranch on his shirt, Matt's channel has always been the fun gun channel, it's also a hugely successful channel with 11m subscribers (me one), they're already trying to label Demo Ranch and point fingers his way, his channel has never mentioned any political leanings, and would never advocate for anything of the sort, it sucks for Matt's channel to be painted with a broad brush in such a way. I kind of agree with the bullied kid taking the opportunity to go out in a "big way".
Hi Jonathan, I wouldn’t have been such a bother to you, if I hadn’t noticed you have thousands of friends limiting their contributions in your comment section to genuine heartfelt expressions of well-deserved support. I mean you are in so many thousands of good hands, that I feel I can be the Brainy Smurf with the Spectacles at times, without much risk of offending you too much. That said, I feel your reasoning has started to become infected with the well-crafted seductive logic of some of your non-philosopher sources. They themselves are of course not responsible for any crafting, at all, but have been infected by it to varying degrees. As I have, and as you have. I wonder … could we make sort-of a philosophical vaccine, to boost ours and everybody else’s cognitive immune system?
John both sides are at it, you're one of the worst. How many times have you called Trump a fascist dictator (or eluded to that knowing full well what you're doing) its just silly. Not watching the rest of this video, i can just guess what you'll say.
Well, there is a small difference between projection and factual opinion. We often see the maga crowd either parrot pootin-propaganda or outright lies. And yes, they get an awful lot of coverage. Is it because they love shouting it into the camera so much? Or because they feel angered by the Big Lie and want to be heard? Or do they want to show their love for their leader? I don't know. If you analyse what they're saying though, you will more often than not see projection. Essentially people being afraid of their own shadow, projecting it upon others. Now, if you turn to facts, drumpf has proven to be an insurrectionist, he is a conviced felan and a proven rapist, he incites violence and he seems to dwell in cruelty to others. He also makes constant remarks for his program in the context of an autocratic ruler. With the latest showing the court rulings, willing to give 'the next prez' unlimited power and Project 2025 being the perfect playbook for an autocratic state with all power concentrated in the position of president. In essence a religious state under 1-man rule. And that's incredibly dangerous. So, yes, fascism is certainly applicable. This is the very definition of it. Not from the 1930s, but from the 2020s. So, fascism reinvented.
As little reason there is for sympathy for Mr. Trump, after all, he started this round of political (prohibited word). "Locker up! (repete forever). The thought the democrats want him (prohibited word), instead of in prison, buys into the (prohibited word) narrative. This narrative is a product sold by Mr. Trump. The criminal. Mr president Biden is preaching unity. ...as is his job. What is Mr Trumps actual 'job'? Putins flunky, right? Or is it just a coincidence nothing would change if good old saint Vlad were head of the republican party?
I have posted many comments, decent comments avoiding all negative terms, still they got deleted. I gave up. Sometimes but rarely i post a short even not so nice one out of an emotional reaction. They have no value, don´t add to anything and can be deleted. It´s pretty dumb still i sometimes do ... LOL
I had this happen a few days ago, took me 8 attempts to post something and having to re-write it every time trying other words & sentence structures a major PITA to be sure 😓 Also it seems that once you've triggered the YT filter, you're extra likely to get hit again until it's had some time(hours) to cool down and/or you've engaged/commented elsewhere successfully.
@@lagmonster7789 true that. It's pretty hard to avoid words that trigger the algorithm, if you're unable to analyse it... I think we're all in this guessing game these days.
Hi Jonny. I’ve followed your channel since its inception almost, and I greatly appreciate the work that you do. However…. Of late, perhaps in the last few months, your channel has become less and less objective reporting and more and more anti Trump rhetoric. I feel like you can sometimes confuse reporting and analysis with personal opinion and political bias. I’m no Trump fan by any means, I can’t stand the man, but I’m kinda tired of watching and hearing Trump Trump Trump. If you prefer political commentary or political posturing then please by all means do that perhaps on a channel specifically for that purpose, however I don’t believe that it benefits ukraine in any way to subject your followers to daily political rants. It’s not what I am interested in hearing. There are other channels run by Americans who actually have skin in the Game in US politics who stay away from politics for the most part and stick to facts about the conflict. I could simply stop watching your channel, and perhaps that’s what I will do if I feel the same way in a few days. I just felt that in deference to everything you have done to date and given that I am British, I would make my feelings public and allow you to either ignore or react accordingly rather than just unfollow. You really do good detailed work when you put you mind to it. If I were to advise you, I would say create a new Channel for your more politically minded followers so that the more conservative minded amongst us don’t feel brow beaten, which I’m sorry to say I increasingly feel as the American election comes closer to
To be perfectly honest this video was a specific video about Trump. It wasn't headlined as a video about the Ukraine war or about anything else. It was an analysis about rhetorical hypocrisy as titled. And given the clear labeling, it is strange when people complain about the content for starting no one is obligated to watch every single video I do.
@@ATPGeo I get that, and if I could rely on no political rants in all the other videos I would have said nothing. But Jonathan, as the US election gets closer the political opinion is getting more and more prevelant in a lot of your content and now when I get a notification I find myself saying internally I hope he doesnt “go off on one” as we Brits say. Now again I will say that if you want to do that then fair play to you, have at it, you are clearly a very passionate left leaning guy, but surely separating that in a specific channel FOR politics is the way to do it rather than potentially alienating a following that you worked so hard to build. Look I’m not complaining or criticising, I’m pointing out a definite change in the feel and general timbre of your content. If it’s intentional that’s fine, I have the choice not to watch and can exercise that choice but I respected you and your work enough to make my feelings and the observed change known to you. Your choice now is whether to take it on board or ignore it. Personally, I leave internal American politics in its minutiae to those who have a say in it. A very distant overview once a month is plenty for the sane. I think most Europeans would feel the same way. Anyhow I’ve said what I felt needed saying. I’ll stick around and see how it goes. I wish you luck in all things !!
Trumps words .... fight, fight, .... one sylable, agressive ..... thick .thick thick.. they are Trump's words . C'mon JP. Don't be so foolish as to think that man has any humanity
the young generation has their nose so far up social media's butt it either emulates or is branded an outcast by everyone, please refer to Pearl Jam's song Jeremy.
