I know a lot of people like yourself who only know two political stances: conservative or liberal. There's no in-between with you people. Pretty shallow way of thinking.

Still, when you can show me any post or thread you created, not going 100% in a liberal direction, let me know. Nothing you post is centrist. It's all far left.

Talk is cheap.

It was you who told us for 1.5 years that Trump would not stay in the race, would not win primary, GOP would not let him be nominated, would not win against Clinton, etc. ad nauseam.

Then when proved wrong, hid from this forum for more than a month. This speaks for shallow thinking.

The media is about as reliable and trustworthy as, oh, say The View. I don't remember which network she's on, but this morning I watched a snippet of that incredibly buggy eyes so-called journalist, Cookie or Snookie Something or Other, and she was nothing but opinion and snark. All negative toward Trump. My God, she's a hideous waft of sewer gas, and she's considered a news person.


I turned it off. That crap has no business being part of a 'news' cast.


Edit: Cokie is the scum's name.

It will be in history books as the turning point.

Good topic, thanks for the thread.
You're right. It is a turning point in our democracy. Our press will no longer have the freedom to operate without interference or censorship. All praise Trump.

The real "faux news" is all of the so-called "mainstream" media, which have been lying to the public for many, many years, but especially this last election cycle, with their lies about Hillary being way ahead in the 'polls' (which they created to show this) and Trump not having a snowball's chance in hell of winning. They create a 'narrative' and everyone repeats it, often nearly word for word.

Fox will be allowed at press briefings, because they have not engaged in this effort to destroy Trump, at least not the way the "Clinton News Networks" have. Other independent media will also be allowed.

But the President is under no obligation to even hold these briefings. These are relatively new to our modern era. I don't blame him one bit for kicking these fake journalists out.

You really shouldn't be posting around the forum while you have unanswered statements in other threads. You made the statement that Trump had promised a Blind Trust, and after everyone challenged you to provide a direct quote you just ignored the thread and stopped posting.

I mean that's certainly your right, but as a result you have very little credibility on anything else

That's the truth. Thankfully, I only see the posts when someone quotes him.

That worked out real well, huh?

On the other hand, the GOP who hated Trump decided to let the democratic process run its course in spite of the risks and they thought they were finished but guess what, they let the popular candidate win and it turned out that popular candidates get elected.

Whoda thunkit?

Sounds good to me! Except for Rachel Madcow. Her spot would be on the White House lawn. Preferably where Fido relieves himself!
