Two wrongs don't make a right (assuming that someone else started it and trump was only responding).

If you can't anything nice, don't say anything at all.

(quoting a wise philosopher) Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth...


everything Trump said in his tweets are true!!!!! saying it like it is! that's why he is leading in all the polls!



like Trump said "we can't afford to be nice anymore"

Perhaps if all the trump tweets were about facts instead of insults, there wouldn't be a list of the disgusting things that trump has tweeted.

Just one topic of his massive tweet insult list: Megyn Kelly asked him about his recorded (in writing and on tape) history of insulting women with whom he had disagreements. That wasn't an insult, it was a question backed up by his own record. Did he respond in a sane manner? Well, no, during the debate he actually muttered that yeah, he said those things. But, then he launched a famous twitter and videotaped attack on her, using some really nasty insults. But, then, if he had simply answered "yes, I will attack those that I feel have wronged me in any way", there wouldn't be a legion of people attacking Kelly alongside of him, and he wouldn't get all that attention.

Or, I could just go ahead and join the people who don't want to be nice any more. I can just see the domestic violence rates exploding... road rage... teachers hitting back when kids attack them... people actually going up to those breast feeding moms and telling them that they should be more discreet... breast feeding moms walking up to people who look uncomfortable and telling them, I don't know what... body shamers being told their own bodies aren't anything to be proud of... speeders shooting cops for stopping them... blowing up Iran just because they had the nerve to stop a foreign boat who was in their waters... telling people who defend themselves with multiple exclamation points that, not only is it grammatically incorrect to do that, they just look like they are probably foaming at the mouth as they type them...

Yeah I'm sure they are real neutral in their reporting.
When was the last time Trump was ever a Republican other than as a matter of convenience and opportunity?

Nobody has shown Trump's hypocrisy better than Colbert did on Thursday night.

It was very clever and clearly showed that Trump means nothing he says and is willing to say anything if it serves his purpose. It is also one of the funniest political bits ever.

Trump debates himself. Truly must-see tv.

that's why Colbert ratings are sinking. He is getting his butt kicked by Fallon and Kimmel.... In November, it even fell behind Seth Meyers who comes on an hour later than him because of his bias liberal politics.



Keep getting your news from Rolling Stones and LA TIMES and Colbert!.....

And you posted this to prove it. That was brilliant Next category Alex please.

No one 'gets their news' from Colbert. But his political commentary is hilarious. I wouldn't really expect you to like it.

Is there a media or journalist Trump has praised?

If nominated and if elected, he's not going to have any time to do much of anything beyond sending tweets to the voluminous criticism he will receive, each and every day.

I continue to hold with the position he is fronting for someone the billionaires have already chosen.
