There is such a thing as manufactured consent.

and the Internet Anagram Server indicates that consensual can be an anagram for, among other things,

Unclean SOS,
Nuance Loss,
No Lean Cuss,
and
Anus Clones.

So... maybe :shrug:

Don't you just love how auto correct picks the typists most commonly used word. :lol: 'It was consensual I tell you! And if she says it wasn't consensual, she's lying'. Yeah right Donnie. We believe you :|

Your source is CNN?! Come on, be serious! CNN is obviously nothing more than a disseminator of ultra-Left propaganda. It's as plain as day. Anyone who uses CNN as a source has zero credibility in my view.

CNN is funded by wealthy corporate advertisers.

If they were actually spewing far-left propaganda, their advertisers would abandon them.

Pretty much everyone agrees that this isn't a big deal. It's just funny. That's all.

In these dark times, you just gotta laugh.

Furthermore, it's fun to laugh at one of the most hilariously arrogant politicians currently alive.

CNN is usually a "serious" news outlet, but they sometimes stretch the definition of "serious" because their readers expect them to make news articles every day, even when nothing of importance is happening.

That's one of the main reasons why I prefer TYT over CNN. CNN speaks with a straight face even when something is hilarious and inconsequential. When the folks at TYT report on something inconsequential just because it is funny, they just admit it.

Well....

to an outside observer who stumbles upon the spectacle it looks like Trump is raping America.

So that's why Trump needs to inform us all that the act is "consensual".

Makes sense to me! :D

His Presidency is partially “consensual.” He won via the Electoral College, but lost the popular vote.

So? Do you think that people who are obscenely wealthy can't hold Left-wing views, especially when it comes to, for example, social issues, Russia and opposition to President Trump? Being wealthy doesn't automatically make one a "conservative", like it used to back in the olden days. Every time I switch on the T.V. at home (which is rare these days), I encounter extreme, ultra-Leftist propaganda from not just the stations that are government controlled (like the A.B.C.), but even those that are run by Rupert Murdoch (here in Australia, not in the U.S., EVERY T.V. station is controlled by the ultra-Left). It's all over the place, constantly being shoved down our throats, especially when it comes to the twin topics of global warming and "gay marriage". It's incessant, it just doesn't stop, and it can be either overt or subtle.

Plenty of people who hate Donald Trump are on the right. One of his harshest critics is Glenn Beck. George W. Bush doesn't like Trump either.

Most of the people who obsess over Russiagate are Clinton supporters. Clinton insisted that universal health care was "unrealistic". In Canada, even the Conservative Party agrees that universal health care is a human right. Clinton isn't "ultra-left". She isn't as right-wing as Trump, but this doesn't put her on the ultra-left.

Some wealthy people are moderately progressive on issues surrounding feminism and racial equality, but you almost never see wealthy people promoting radical feminism or Afrocentrism. Most of that comes directly from the Middle Class. This is because moderately socially progressive speech will bring in female and black customers whereas extremism will scare away men and white people.

Some of these liberal billionaires may be sincere, but most of them are likely trying to make money. Most of the people who genuinely believe in liberal principles are in the middle and lower classes.

Global Warming isn't an ultra-left issue. People who have been studying the climate and the chemistry of the air using scientific instruments for their entire lives have come to this conclusion. It's a scientific fact.

Being green is hard, but out-of-control capitalism is the force that makes being green hard for the middle and lower classes. Environmentally-friendly products are expensive, which is why we need to stop taking money from the middle and lower classes and giving it to megacorps in the form of subsidies.

Gay marriage is being shoved down our throats? Most of the romance that I see on TV is heterosexual.

Homosexuality cannot be "cured" because it is caused by abnormal brain development. It's like autism and transgenderism in that way. Why can't we just let these people live as they choose?

This will never lead to "homosexual recruitment" because most people will always be heterosexual. The concept of LGBT+ rights isn't "far-left". It's backed by science.

If the TV news media promoted actual far-left ideas such as socialism, they would lose their funding, obviously. Rich people don't want a society in which there are no economic classes, obviously.

If it's subtle, it can easily be ignored. No big deal.

Oh for God's sake, what happened to my post above?! "WrongPlanet", this is NOT good enough! I got another one of those stupid CAPTCHA puzzles, and my response to DarthMetaKnight vanished! Truly pathetic! :evil:
