Media assassination or reporting his undeniable instability? And what privilege am I supposed to have? You don't even know me. Violent acting out? Oh, I get it now. I'm being lumped in with all of the idiots who are using some of the marches and protests to break windows, etc.? Thanks a lot, but I wouldn't be caught dead doing anything like that - and neither would anyone I know. Peaceful protests are one thing; breaking the law is something else, and those people should be arrested and thrown in jail. And I'm not upset because Hillary lost. I'm upset because a demagogue won, and because he has no idea what he's doing. On the job training is not exactly setting my mind at ease.

I'm just saying that the media should never, ever sit down and shut up, because if that happens, our democracy is dead. If only right wing news sources are allowed, do you know what we would have? Not a free press, but a propaganda machine that does nothing but glorify Trump all day and all night. We need the media to step up and hold his feet to the fire when he makes bad decisions. Even if you think the MSM has been a Democrat propaganda machine for a long time, never at any moment was Fox News ever told to "sit down and shut up"! (If I'm mistaken and that did happen, please correct me, and provide the source for this information.)

You should be telling your side to shut their mouths beyond reporting who,what,where, and when at this specific juncture, lest they worsen the circumstances in this nation beyond anything that is reparable. Because they can't stand to lose like adults. You fight this battle to any further extreme, and I guarantee that you are putting this nation at risk of losing it all.

Looks like we have to listen to their "alternative facts" for a few more years. The media doesn't have to report it tho.

I disagree, more pressure, more marches .


Why would anyone want him to stay in charge, one week in and he has alienated Mexico , china and lied many dozens of times.

last night when directly confronted with information absolutely proving that the "pew' report does not support his claims of millions of fraudulent votes, instead of ignoring it, instead of admitting or redirecting . NO instead of that he called the study's writer a groveler, and insisted that the only reason he could be saying it , is that he was groveling to the presenter...

really?

A president of the USA when given the chance to end his BS, instead attacks the writer of the very study he was relying on....

I guess Trump has just no "honer" at all. None, no respect for people and absolutely no SHAME.


so no , why wait, in silence while the Right led by Bannon and Trump rebuild Russia's armies and debase our nation.

thank you! You have encouraged me to i need to get more involved.

They know EXACTLY why Illegit Donnie is in the White House, you dope ... COMEY and the RUSSIAN HACKERS.

Anyone who thinks Illegit Donnie wins that election without that disgraceful assistance from Comey and the Russians is either uber-partisan or not very bright.

Obviously this dope Bannon is both...
Seriously, you think the rust belt states that gave Trump the electoral college win were focused on Comey and the Russians? You must be delusional........or "not very bright"

That is exactly what Trump wants.

Well, if you see the rest of the world convinced he's full of it, you can be well assured that Bannon's reality distortion field doesn't extend beyond the white nationalists that are all clamoring to kiss his fat rear.
