RIGHT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Trumpsters just love citing fake news
So you are saying the accomplishments in the article did not really happen? Statistics and data are biased?

Every president has accomplished some stuff....even the worst ones.

Trump's accomplishments arent that special or extraordinary. Just routine mediocre stuff. Hardly anything worth celebrating especially considering what he promised during his campaign

Now list the fake parts of the article. And hope your urologist isn’t a Republican.
Nobody is saying Trump hasnt accomplished anything. Just he hasnt accomplished anything meaningful or big. Putting 2 justices on the SCOTUS is just routine stuff that presidents do. It wasn't a big deal when Clinton,Bush, or Obama did it.

That article is just picking out routine stuff and trying to make it seem like its a big deal when its not. In terms of actual legislation....Trump is one of the worst on record:

From First to Last: President Trump has signed the fewest bills into law by this point in any recent president’s first year.

"Destroy" Stormy Daniels' "reputation"?

Left wing publications (if you want to call them that) deal with facts. Right wing publications deal with falsehoods and propaganda.

Intelligent people desire the facts. Rubes and mouth breathers desire propaganda and fake news.

- Got us out of the Paris Climate scam
- Got us out of the TPP
- Got us out of the Iran deal
- Renegotiated NAFTA
- Renegotiated South Korea trade deal
- Has UN Nations paying billions more for their own defense.
- Defeated ISIS in Syria & Iraq
- Crafted North Korean peace deal
- Crafted peace accord between Israel, Saudi Arabia & the Sunni Muslim nations.
- Cut taxes on the middle class & corporations
- Rolled back unnecessary business regulations
- Brought industry back to the US.
- Record low unemployment for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Women
- Wages for low earners rising for 1st time in a decade
- Support among Blacks up from 12% to 36%

You equate success, with passing more laws. A person not blinded with hatred, would deduce that much of his success is from undoing, rather than doing more.

Crafted North Korea peace deal and mid east peace accord? This is literally delusional.

The rest is all nonsense. His NAFTA renogotiation just changed a couple things but was hardly something big.

Its all just weak sauce stuff and the rest is either delusional fanboying or just straight out lies

this was just for the defamation aspect and was pretty easy to predict that it would go this way ( see the official "stormy & trump" thread. myself and others called this outcome ). avenatti is appealing it but i think the judgement will stand.


the ruling on the main case doesn't happen till december 3. if things go the way trump's lawyers are now requesting then the settlement agreement will be ruled invalid...... which was exactly daniels' claim in the beginning!
