Meant to add: Seeing as you're cheerleading for a doofus who just recently had to edit his own words, this is just stinkingly ironic.

We listen to Trump's own words. The treasonous chunkpuppet.

Why does the media thinks we the people are stupid!

I fully support the President based on his own words and not based on what anyone else is trying to explain that he meant.

The same counts for the FBI top and what they said in hearings, based on actual transcripts or public hearings.

Therefore I know Strzok, Comey and McGabe are crooks!

When I hear Schumer talk I only hear bashing and not one policy.

Just judge on what you hear and don’t listen to the hosts who want you to believe where their support goes too!
You seem to think you have come across some new revelation.

We have discussed this buckets of times -- those of you that see opposing opinions always assume somebody has been swayed by the media. That's not always the case.

Trump's rallies, press conferences, the White House briefings are all covered live.

We see it and judge for ourselves.

But because someone doesn't agree with you -- don't be so naive as to think they have been swayed by anything but their interpretation.

For example, the Russian press conference......it is clear it was a disaster for Trump and the USA -- evidence to back that up -- negative comments from all along the political spectrum -- even die hard supporters/conservatives. BUT YET -- f someone expresses that here on this board-- that it was a disaster....the LIBERAL MEDIA excuse is tossed out.

My gut reaction watching that press conference was disbelief. I was sure my view must be beause I didn't like Trump. Imagine my surprise when Newt Gingrch, Lyndsey Graham, Neil Cavuto, Ben Shapiro, etc....seemed to be even more critical than I was being at the time.

They didn't change my position...they confirmed my suspicions and immediate gut reaction to the press conferencer.

The MSM addicted Trump hater, like any addict, is going to have a hard time with that advice. Take away CNN, WaPo, NBC, etc, and it's like taking cocaine away from the lab rat hooked on it. They will probably call you names for even suggesting it.

Fortunately there is a good portion of America who has learned this. It's the reason that readership and viewership of the above has dropped to historic lows. They blame it on the Internet, I blame it on the poor quality of what they produce.

The facts are out there, but one has to be willing to look at them with an open mind. It's why I once voted for Obama, but now support Trump.

Suppose Trump had done the opposite, exactly what these people demanded -- verbally and viciously assaulted Putin for all his totalitarian tropes from annexing the Crimea to invading the computers of Democratic Party operatives, allegedly to elect Trump) and so forth?
What would that have accomplished? The obvious answer is zilch. Again the opposite would most likely have occurred.

Russia -- the largest nation on the planet -- is in many ways a failing state with an economy barely the size of Texas, it still has a huge percentage of the world's nuclear weapons, about equal with ours, and the capacity to deliver them (and to pass them along to unreliable non-state actors). It behooves us to have a relationship with them for our survival and everybody else's, to keep our friends close and our enemies closer, as the Godfather would put it. The obvious goal in this is to limit nuclear proliferation and even to reduce, or at least stabilize, the nuclear arsenals as agreements come up for renewal.
You only have to be breathing to realize this.

Nonsense we have had a relationship with Russia for decades, don't try to pretend otherwise matey.


Trump is the only POTUS to get down on his knees to Russia and to take the Russia dictator's word over that of the US Senate and US security.

Stop pretending POTUS has to kowtow to Putin in order to have a relationship. Obama did not bend the knee, Bush did not bend the Knee, Clinton did not bend the knee, Bush did not bend the knee, Reagan did not bend the knee.
Trump supplicated himself to Putin like a dog at his masters heel.

People should be listening to what these politicians say. It’s very clear that the media will try and spin things to make it seem different then what was actually said. Trump lies on the daily. People would hear it if they were actually listening.

Fake kitty just fake.

CNN wapo MSNBC are all doing better than they have in a decade and that is a fact. In fact you can't and you won't be able to prove otherwise.

Why?

Because your claim is FALSE, WRONG, 100% fake. My guess is you have listened to Trumpy too long and can't tell the difference between documented facts (like earnings reports) and trumpy wumpys hourly lies.

You're preaching to the choir here. Trump is no saint, but neither are the democrats. In any case he did try to tweak it but did not get the votes in congress.

Ignore what the media says about a mother-in-law and to what she actually said (the words that came out of her mouth)? Oh boy.
