OK. Never mind all this. It was sarcasm.

what, do we need the media to tell us how to think and what to believe any more....

I was thinking that the other morning, when hearing them report something that as initially like they were talking to children...and I forget what the issue was....something non important, had nothing to do with Politics, but I just shook my head, thinking, My God, people are actually buying this, and actually allowing the media to tell them how to think and what to believe anymore.


Sorry Jams, I can't do this any longer, it's really sad...and actually had got me very upset.

Thanks for the discussion though..and for your patience,and that is not sarcasim.

Sorry I can't spell....
Words matter, Creme. When a president speaks the whole world listens. Markets rise and fall on what he/she says, missiles get loaded, countries get put on high alert, etc., etc. We can't have a man in the White House who has PMS every other day, who says outrageous things then claims it was joke the next or who buys into conspiracy theories so deeply that he's quoting Russian conspiracy theories as if they are proven fact. This whole ISIS founder line originated straight out of Russia. Doesn't that bother you even a little, make you wonder whose side Trump is really working for?

Exactly. The man child has absolutely no filter & people want someone that immature as president? Seriously? Can you even IMAGINE the hysteria that would ensue if Obama said even a third of the crap that has flown out of that man child's mouth?? The man child is totally unfit for anything other than reality tv.

It must suck supporting Trump, because he says these things, and everyone bends over backwards trying to support and justify his words, and then Trump says he was only kidding. It leaves his supporters looking like idiots.
Look like?! LOL

Go ahead, rewrite history. Sheesh.

Al Qaeda was small and weak (though committing horrendous crimes) when GWBush took office. Then he invaded Iraq on a lie. Al Qaeda gained support, naturally, and a highly radicalized splinter group broke away and formed what is now ISIS.

So Obama didn't create ISIS. Bush did with corrupt policies. (I am not saying there were no corrupt policies prior to GWB. Quite the contrary. But his invasion of Iraq was the key to ISIS.)

Definition of SARCASM:

"the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny"


So, umm, No. Not what he did. Next?!

I don't know, but how do you support someone even you don't "understand"? This is the same with thing in the Melania speech. Posts were proclaiming it wasn't copied with long detailed explanations about how everyone saying it was didn't have a clue. After the storm, they admit it was plagiarized. You all look like idiots.

Trump is lying. It is obvious. You guys scramble to cover for every lie he tells and interpret his true "meaning". He turns around and calls you stupid for not understanding, and you line up for the exact same treatment the next day. Can one Trump supporter sincerely answer these questions: Do you want a leader that you don't even understand representing our country to foreign powers? Can you honestly proclaim that will make our nation safe?
^This!
