The liberal media thinks the American people are stupid and willing to believe anything they say.

Or maybe there is a second explanation. Maybe Trump is just so despicable that it is easy to find negative things to say about him. We have to be honest and admit, one doesn't have to look too far to find flaws that need reported on.

Trump should be kissing the feet of the news organizations. He worked them like a fiddle during the election and got daily free advertising 24/7. Now he suddenly wants them to go away.

Yes, but IMO, it might have been better if both him and the country if he had stuck to the game of "running for President" and not actually been elected. But then we would have had Hillary as POTUS, and that, imo, would have been bad (and maybe just as bad) for entirely different reasons.

Again, I blame BOTH major parties and the Republican voters for allowing us to end up with two such horrible candidates to begin with. (Btw, I was a Kasich supporter until he dropped out, even though I did not agree with many of his positions on the issues, especially on illegal immigration.)

Well, this is little consolation -- and I have most definitely been very wrong before! -- but if Trump does not start showing signs that he is an adult in the best sense of that word, he will not be in office for more than four years.

And every attempt at a liberal takedown is empowering the GOP to stand up for these childish antics. Look at the Sessions hearing calling out Al Franken for being so silent in Benghazi but mad about 40- year old alleged statements.

Without singling out any particular poster, I thought it might be a good idea for some people to have a very short refresher course on the differences between communism, socialism and fascism. In searching the Net, I found the following, of which the first answer is both concise, fairly complete, and mostly non-biased.

British Intelligence.

The pundits at the other networks are stunned. They absolutely are not used to being held responsible for their biased reporting. I hope we see more of it.

Mark Murray at NBC news says that Trump should show "respect" to American institutions like the MSM. Of course this bubble head created numerous fake polls against Trump.

It is refreshing to have a POTUS who will speak the truth and is not bridled by the reins of political correctness.


After decades of politicians speaking in riddles and not saying anything, it is refreshing to see someone speak the truth.


The media, of course, given that they are the merchants of political correctness and stifling facts, are shocked that they are exposed by someone so "brazen" to reveal the truth.


CNN may be in for a long four years.

He also has a digestive tract, the exhaust side of which often seems the more likely source of his rhetoric.

They published an unproven report to shame some one with the pretense of given by sources close to them in intelligence agency. It is a smear campaign without naming proper source or proving the accusations. They failed at everything.
